AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.

the art of actual artist which is being stolen and used to make pastiches by tech companies with billions of VC bucks behind them. Like are you intentionally failing to see the point here?
It is absolutely being stolen when the art of people is being taken by VC funded tech companies and repurposed for commercial use without any compensation nor permission. Are you doing a bit right now?
I think it's bizarre to see "Socialists" siding with techbros and VC companies against artists and workers. The economic relationship is why it's theft. The creation of art is for many artists how they sell their labor, how they make money, how they get food on the table, generative AI does not currently exist in any capacity except large tech companies who are commercializing this art without the permission of these artists often explicitly against their wishes and reaping the full rewards of that. It is an exploitation of their work.
The luddites were right you realize of course? My issue is with capitalism yes, and the expansion of copyright to an industrialized art theft ring run by tech companies to the detriment of artists. Something you are cheerleading based on... what, contrarianism? A desire to be fucking wrong?
No they weren't. Luddites were fighting to keep the unwashed masses from weaseling in on their jobs. This is middle class reactionary stupidity. Read some fucking theory. Value is a product of labor. Lower labor costs lowers the value of products.
The automation of equipment makes jobs for less skilled people and raises the living standards of everyone. Lower cost of production makes goods cheaper as all.
Its true the increased profits make the rich richer buy they do it at the expense of the skilled labor and artisan middle class. The middle class uphold the capitalist status quo. If their standard of living falls they are more likely to see and act on the contradictions of capitalism than if they stay in the comfort of the middle class.
The reason that communism will win is that Capitalists will inevitably destroy the middle class making them working class which will radicalize them.
My art is work, i should be paid for it. Its weird socialists are laying cover for corporations and the robbing humanity out of another human experience. Youre not entitled to a perfect drawing of Hank Hill smoking weed, you do the best of your ability and thats fine.
The article in question is about an individual stealing art made by another individual using AI.
There were no corporations involved. This isn't AI company vs Artist. This is AI artist vs website that posted AI art they didn't make.
Piracy is not the same as IP fraud, which is what the OP amounts to
not an artist, but from what I've heard they're also scared of missing out on cheap revenue because of of increased competition for commissions of repetitive/generic art. Lots of artists use them to support themselves doing other types of art they care more about.
Plus when you're starting out, all your work is low quality and now there's a much bigger supply of low quality art it's more difficult for beginner artists to make money for their work.
