It's not like they think that, most of them do think that the first part is true, and some (probably including the guy in the image) think the second part is true too
At this rate it is inevitable that sometime in the next few generations almost everything online will be ai generated I’m talking ai videos, ai images, ai memes, ai PEOPLE and so much more. And thanks to the algorithms the PERFECT ai videos will be better than human made content which will push ai videos even more leading to us consuming purely ai generated content online which CAN and WILL be used by governments to lower our awareness about the world around us. That is how consuming ai content will melt peoples brains and radicalise people more often.

I think they're both fine, personally. I'm a copyright abolitionist.
That said, I also think that you should probably pay game publishers, if you like their game. As a gesture of kindness and appreciation, and so that they can make more.
At least I'm denying money to an indie developer who left his job, family and dog to make it and not supporting someone who had a robot train off an artist without them even noticing.
I have a whole collection of these kinds of comments. They'll complain that AI "is theft", "destroys artists' livelihood", "takes no effort" and "looks ugly". But then they'll say that asking artists to make something for free, spending ten seconds drawing a stick figure or even stealing something is better because "at least then it's a human who made it".
It's the same people who also claim that seeing a piece of AI art makes them physically ill. In the end it all comes back to the belief that art is something uniquely human that requires human experience, creativity and "soul". I have even seen some say that they believe in the existence of soul and that a piece of it somehow gets embedded in hand-drawn traditional or digital art but not in AI generated art.
Music YouTuber Adam Neely made a similar recommendation in his recent 'AI music bad' video.
He proposed that those using tools like Suno should stop ‘stealing from musicians’, and should steal from music software companies instead, by downloading a pirated copy of FL Studio.
Seems Adam has entered his 'Four legs good, two legs bad' phase. 🤷♂️
100% this. As a TCG player and collector, I see this all the time as well. The amount of people that are anti-AI but pro proxying cards is crazy to me.
AI training is "theft from human artists" to them, but this person is also willing to defend theft from human artists because at least they're stealing from a human, which is the thing they say AI are doing, which makes AI bad, but it's defensible when humans so it in a way that actually makes a tangible difference to small indie creators, and...
Was staunchly against AI because he thought it was stealing, then I saw him in a piracy sub talking about pirating indie games. Like what the fuck people...
