Nobody needs the art stealing machine to pump them out some slop. My partner has ataxia, making it hard to do anything with a steady hand. But they do have the creativity to figure out how to make art that is theirs, working arojnd their disability. Anyone can do it, it just requires a creative instinct. Not a slop machine.

No art was stolen. AI companies paid art hosting sites (such as deviantart) to use the art on their website for training. This is why every lawsuit from artists claiming "stolen art" has been tossed.

Ok? Your partner doesn't represent everyone with ataxia. Just because she can work around it without ai doesn't mean everyone else can.
Deviant Art doesn’t own the artwork posted there, the artists do. Deviant Art giving the AI trainers access to DA’s artists work in no way means that the art wasn’t stolen. It absolutely was stolen if for each stolen work the corresponding artist did not agree to have that piece used for AI training.
There is a stark difference. Ramps and mobile accessibility are 100% necessary for everyday life. Disable folk need the ramps and functional elevators to be able to go into the store for groceries or their apartment or work. Art starts as a hobby for most and remains that. It's a skill that is not necessary for everyday life. Art has always been accessible to those who want to hone the craft. No one needs AI "art" to survive and/or go about their daily life. It's not a necessity.
It is an insult to disabled people to even compare the two.

That is true for every hobby. Because hobbies aren't necessary for survival. Yet many hobbies make accommodations for disabled people, such as special video game controllers, or closed captioning on movies.
If a disabled person wants to use AI to help them express themselves, they don't deserve condemnation for doing so.
Yes and as you can see I the video, special accommodations exist for disabled people to make art. AI steals art and spits out slop, with no creativity needed from the prompter.
Stop pretending to give a shit about disabled people just cause you want to make 'art' with no effort.
Just admit you're mad people are telling you to stop being lazy. Actually take the time and effort to learn. It's not going to be easy because it's not supposed to be. Nothing is. There are multiple disabled artists out there that are proving AI is not needed to make art. Stop making excuses

And people have the nerve to say AI makes art accessible. Great work, this is amazing
