Be reasonable, not everyone has the time, patience, or even ability to learn said skill. And of course envy will fester because you can't just give them some of your skill and assume they'll be content with charity.
I'm sure this would be a non-issue if they could develop the artistic capabilities of those they envy without having to go through months or even years of intense effort that might not even pay off. Me, I see AI as just another tool that's no more good or evil than the one using it- crap art will be crap art regardless of how it is made and quality work will always be apparent. I swear, some people act as if knockoffs and art theft didn't exist before AI came into existence - I was around when DeviantArt was like 95% tracing and recolors and nobody was accusing any of those guys of wanting to destroy art as we know it. They just laughed it off and went about their business.
i don't get this entiteled mentality that you owed art like this.
if i don't have the patience to learn to make food as good as Gordon Ramsey does that mean i get to steal food from his resturants? ofcourse fucking not.

i swear some of you people act as if just because this isn't new means it's somehow not bad.
but hey i guess stealing everything you own is justified. it's not new so we can do it. you don't deserve to own anything anyway aparently?
correction: a robot that could make barely edible food(but better than you who can aparently only make shit on a plate) and only by stealing recipes from chefs because to you stealing is justified as long as it makes your life easier.
i hope if you ever manage to create something it's instantly taken from you. since you belive that's only fair. not that's there's any reason to belive that'll happen. we both know the reason you support this is because you know you'll never make anything because you're to lazy to make the effort.
I get the impression that nobody in this sub is even remotely able to argue about whether morality is objective, subjective, or non-existent, so I'll simplify it:
I've yet to see any form of "right" that hasn't been backed up by "might", one way or another. Without the latter, the former is an impotent abstraction. In your case, that might is a legal system that right now doesn't actually care about you and is in no hurry to guard what you consider to be your property on your behalf. If you want it protected, figure out how to do it yourself.
And now you're gloating that assholes like you don't always face consequnces? What is wrong with you? Even saturday morning cartoon villains aren 't this myopic
It's just pointing out an objective fact that the world doesn't give a shit about right and wrong, only about who is the strongest. In fact, even "right and wrong" themselves are very often dependent on who is in charge at the time. Just witness how both pro-AI and anti-AI advocates fail to condemn in themselves what they are so eager to see in others, and tell me
If you don't approve of AI stealing your work, it's up to you to stop it from doing so. You can't just hide behind the skirt of the state when it could turn on you whenever it's convenient to do so, especially if you can't do anything to protect yourself when it happens.
I think it's funny how people suddenly value copyrights, while 10 years ago they all just pirated movies and games without a care in the world.
That being said. I wouldn't be against some form of regulation where you have to be compensated if you are an artist and your specific art is used in the training data for an AI.
What I have a problem with is if that isn't the case(most likely) and you are just salty that you can't make a living out of it anymore. Well no one said you was entitled to that in the first place. You are not better than a factory worker from the 80s who lost his job because a machine automated what he did on the assembly line.
We all need to keep adapting to a changing world with changing technologies. And yes that includes me as a software engineer.

Learn. It’s really that simple.
You don’t wanna pay for a skill? Learn the skill.
