Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

It always bewildered me about english language that every creation is called "art". In Polish art is "sztuka" which word have quite many meanings, but the most relevant is "a field of artistic activity distinguished by the aesthetic values it represents", of which common understanding is that it have to actually represent some aesthetic values. This of course cause unending discussions about what is art and the subjectivity of it to the point of the adage "art is in the eye of beholder" became universally accepted.
