The entire AI industry is built on IP theft; even if you don't believe in IP ownership, companies like OpenAI and Anthropic rely on their ability to scrape the internet for content, with only largest of publishers having the resources to sue for anything in return.

So long as copyright is being enforced at the individual level for consumers, large corporations shouldn't be allowed to get away with infringing on it for profit.

As an artist that see his work opportunities reduced by the IP theft, stfu, and maybe evenn go kys.

Yeah, it can be both, like, if you want to argue that in our current capitalist society people need to be compensated fairly for their work, I'll hear that argument, but I don't think it's the best or most accurate framing. I think it's just as obnoxious reddit made a deal with google to train on my (and everyone else's) comments throughout the website as I do the possibility it was trained on my artwork, and I'm not alone in that.

His other comment applies just as easily to to stolen medical images, like this woman's , as it does more creative works. It feels violating either way. Virtually no one is worried about Mickey Mouse appearing in data sets, but lots of people do feel wronged when their emails are trained on without permission or compensation, even though they're not really IPs.
