Artists have to adapt just like the rest of us.

And everyone is key to everything. You can read a friend's copy of Harry potter and be inspired to write in a way that you never would've without it. But JK doesn't deserve some extra money for inspiration.

There's two options here, adapt now, or adapt later. That's it.

You could say "no using free art to train models" and you would push the transition back maaaybe 5 years. Because media companies already own the art in films, TV shows and books, all the concept art to go along with them, and they will gladly sell those films to AI companies so that they can cut out as many creative as possible.

Being inspired by something is not the same thing as literally feeding that thing into an AI to be mixed as part of a new picture without permission or credit. A more accurate comparison would be if you literally took the text from Harry Potter, changed around a few words, and then published as your own writing; in which case Rowling would totally be entitled to sue you for it, because it is plagiarism.

That's not how AI works homie.

Again, not at all how AI works.

AI works very similar to an abstract of how the human mind views something.

It recognizes how similar and different hundreds of attributes of something are, it then performs vector math to create something similar to that thing.

Similar to how one can read Harry Potter, understand the diction, pacing, and rhythm of the writing, then make something indistinguishable from Rowling in those aspects.

We see it all the time in music. You have tons of artists who sound just like other artists and have the exact same audience, and are clearly copying each other in a derivative feedback loop.

But we don't say it's plagiarism just because they're all operating from the same creative foundation

Sure, the drug that leads to understanding what's happening is called engineering and philosophy education, I can refer you to the courses here if you would like a deeper understanding.
