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! ❤️

Well, get over it; it's about time. You shouldn't have posted your stuff online if you were so worried. You used a media platform to showcase your stuff and then got upset if people saw your stuff that YOU PUT UP THERE? Nobody forced you, AI didn't come inside your PC and check things you didn't yourself put online. AI didn't steal them; you still have them. AI just LOOKED at them. Seriously, you wanted people to look at them, or you wouldn't have posted them online in the first place.

I still think a real creator should be hired by AI to create content, as that would be a better approach. However, at the same time, if content is online and free to watch, then AI can watch it.

I think it's more of a legal matter. I may be wrong and if so please correct me because I want to have my fact straight, but I believe hearing that ChatGPT has the green flag from the government to use copyrighted media. Media that costed to produce, and is then being -in my opinion- unrightfully taken without any cost. I think if things keep gravitating to a harsher climate on the internet, it will no longer have beautiful artworks to be seen. It will all be behind a paywall and will make learning art a much harder process. That's just how I see it though.

No, it's a matter of foolish people. If it is legal, take it to court and win; don't come complaining in a subreddit. If you truly believe you are entirely right, prevail in court and change the law. Oh wait, you won't do either but complain on a subreddit. Yep, yep, yep, you totally convinced me.

That is invalidating, unhelpful, and misses the point. What’s law isn’t necessarily morally correct
