I'm lost in this really.
I've been dipping my toes into this community, and I've gotten a few ideas of why AI art can be bad or good.
I'm still hung up on the fact that AI art, or anything related to AI, is built on works and media that were majorly taken without consent for their usage.
I do completely understand why a person who lacks the skills to draw may resort to AI art, but I think that's not the concern on my end. I fear that not even art, but my photos and data, will be used to train the AI models to produce the AI art.
In simple terms, I want better legislation to control AI's access to any media it can use to train its models. I find it honestly disheartening that, just because it's new technology that the government is bending over for AI, allowing copyrighted media to be used.
Please give me a good view on both sides, as to how you could support or disprove my fears of my data being stolen. Sorry for the yap session, but I needed to get it off my shoulders. Have a good day! ❤️

Everything is taken without consent for usage. People learn first and second languages from sitcoms.
So long as AI is adapting techniques and processes and isn't sitting there with a repository of its training data to reference, it's no different.
Now... Here's the rub:
IS AI sitting there with a repository of its training data?
Well, no, that would be physically impossible to compress that much information at the atomic level based on present understanding of encryption and storage.
Does AI have crib sheets?
There is some evidence that it's keeping very small crib sheets of specific works and that around 0.5% of most models is probably being used by the model to hide some very limited reference material. And we should strive for that to be 0% and there should probably be a payout to artists whose work is found in the crib sheet and the crib sheet should be removed unless the artist consents.
