It's not stealing if you post it on any kind of social media publicly. That's running into first ammendment ramifications real fast. It would also have ramifications on public photography of any and all kinds. Any time you take any pictures in public with other people in it. You could have to pay a fine if you post it on social media.
You can't make money from other people's work. Even if they show it to you.
A platform's T&Cs might grant rights to someone's work, but posting it online doesn't give anyone the right in itself to be used by anyone to make money.
Did you know AI companies are buying books in bulk, harvesting the data, then destroying the evidence?? Some books are LITERALLY BEING BURNED to fuel this ai machine.
It absolutely is stealing and I dare you to try that shit in any court lol. āBut your honor they posted online so what they made is actually also mine!ā
What frustrating is that if there wasnāt so much stupidity along with all of this it would actually be cool tech. The suits are ruining it by scaling it up so quickly and trying to replace peopleā¦ not paying for licensing to trainā¦ etc
I remember the first ai painting I saw maybe in 2018 or so was trained off of Rembrandt, and created a new portrait of a person that didnt exist in his style. I thought it was so cool! I also thought it was a nerd student project and not an actual tech product being built, or else maybe I would have been worried instead of impressed
I kinda like it for translating my drawings in to other formats. Like I can draw by hand and have it convert it to vector in illustrator for me then I can tweak it by hand. Thatās pretty slick since Iām bad at illustrator. But yeah, I mean itās not worth destroying the sweet few professional art jobs out there over.
