I don't think it's as simple as all that. Artists look at other artists' work when they're learning, for ideas, for methods of doing stuff, etc. Good artists probably have looked at a ton of other artwork, they don't just form their skills in a vacuum. Do they need to credit all the artists they "stole from"?
In the article, the company made a point about not using AI models specifically trained on a smaller set of works (or some artist's individual works). Doing something like that would be a lot easier to argue that it's stealing: but the same would be true if a human artist carefully studied another person's work and tried to emulate their style/ideas. I think there's a difference between that an "learning" (or learning) for a large body of work and not emulating any specific artist, company, individual works, etc.
Obviously it's something that needs to be handled fairly carefully, but that can be true with human artists too.
Artists who look at art are processing it in a relatable, human way. An AI doesnt look at art. A human tells the AI to find art and plug it in, knowing that work is copyrighted and not available for someone else's commercial project to develop an AI.
Yeah, sure. But there's nothing that says "it's not stealing if you do it in a relatable, human way". Stealing doesn't have anything to do with that.
And it is available for someone else's commercial project to develop a human artist? Basically, the "an AI" part is still irrelevant to. If the works are out there where it's possible to view them, then it's possible for both humans and AIs to acquire them and use them for training. I don't think "theft" is a good argument against it.
But there are probably others. I can think of a few.
I just want fucking humans paid for their work, why do you tech nerds have to innovate new ways to lick the boots of capital every few years? Let the capitalists make aeguments why AI should own all of our work, for free, rights be damned, and then profit off of it, and sell that back to us as a product. Let them do that. They don't need your help.
That's a problem whether or not we're talking about AI.
That's really not how it works. "Tech nerds" aren't licking the boots of capitalists, capitalists just try to exploit any tech for maximum advantage. What are the tech nerds supposed to do, just stop all scientific and technological progress?
AI doesn't "own your work" any more than a human artist who learned from it does. You don't like the end result, but you also don't seem to know how to come up with a coherent argument against the process of getting there. Like I mentioned, there are better arguments against it than "it's stealing", "it's violating our rights" because those have some serious issues.
