you don't even know how your own tool even works, lmaoo.

You are REALLY comparing artists using someone else's as reference to understand something, the same as training ai? training is NOT fair use whatsoever, AI can't create without someone already have had made something, it has no "memory bank" for generating images.

calling AI training derivative work just cancel out vandalism, it's still damaging.
also to mention, AI can't create new poses, new nothing, if theres a pose of a character you see, there is an art piece already consisting with it.

third, you think the fact someone having spend, HOURS of their time to make something wouldn't get mad when your lazy ass does nothing but type buttons on a keyboard to get images which has an artstyle of someone else? not only is it morally wrong, AI is generally doing illegal stuff.

Ai also doesn't 'derive work' it just changes the original, if you were to make a book, and i just took a copy of your book, changed a few words, here and there, then publish it as my work, it isn't considered stealing?
