As a general statement: No, I am not. You're making an over specific scenario to make it true. Sure, if I take 1 image and train a model just on that one image, it'll make that exact same image. But that's no different than me just pressing copy and paste on a single image file. The latter does the job whole lot better too. This entire counter argument is nothing more than being pedantic.
Furthermore, if I'm making such specific instructions to the AI, then I am the one who's replicating the art. It doesn't matter if I use a pencil to trace out the existing art, using photoshop, or creating a specific AI model. I am the one who's doing that.
You didn't qualify what you said originally. It either has the capability or not: you said it didn't, it actually does.
Not really. It isn't that far-fetched that a company would see an artist they'd like to use but also not want to pay that artist's fees so they train an AI on the artist's portfolio and can churn out very similar artwork. Training it on one or two images is obviously contrived, but a situation like what I just mentioned is very plausible.
So this isn't true. What you said isn't accurate with the literal interpretation and it doesn't work with the more general interpretation either. The person higher in the thread called it stealing: in that case it wasn't, but AI models do have the capability to do what most people would probably call "stealing" or infringing on the artist's rights. I think recognizing that distinction is important.
Yes, that's kind of the point. A lot of people (me included) would be comfortable calling doing that sort of thing stealing or plagiarism. That's why the company in OP took pains to say they weren't doing that.
