artists who don’t like this are no longer allowed to look at previous artist’s works before making their own. fan fiction is certainly not allowed.
Bad comparison. The scale is way greater. I can’t go through multiple terabytes of reference images.
As an artist, that’s my issue with current models. It shouldn’t be opted-in by default with questionable opt-out options.
but that’s exactly how the models are being trained. by manually going through all the images and describing them.
and you can’t really complain that computers go through data at a greater scale than humans… that’s the whole point. that argument doesn’t hold
It’s worth entertaining the observation that these learning models piggyback off underpaid human effort to funnel wealth towards the 1%.
It’s just that the solution isn’t to stop the tech. That never works. It’s out in the world now.
The real solution is much harder. We need to overhaul our economy and put in mechanisms to recirculate wealth downwards.
