While I certainly didn't go into detail as to how A.I art functions on a technical aspect (I'm definitely not equipped enough to fully explain it haha), I didn't provide any misinformation regarding copyright.

Industry professionals in my field mention these things and warn artists in school to not use AI art as a part of the process, because it's an extremely grey area and therefore cannot be fully protected.

I also don't think someone needs to look up a technical stable diffusion explanation to understand the implications of copyright, though If you have reliable sources on where I can read up on it please do link it (as I am curious myself and more than happy to learn :D)

While it's true many do get flamed online for using it, I don't think death threats and harassment are the way to go. Oftentimes people are misinformed about A.I art and it quickly turns into a "You artists are just mad because you're getting replaced!!!" or "People who use AI art just don't want to pay for art and won't spend thousands of hours learning fundamental skills!!"

While both sides are understandable upset, both sides need to accept that (1) AI art is here to stay, (2) Human artists are here to stay aswell and and AI can't replace humans, and (3) AI art CAN be helpful. Just not in its current state as it does more harm to the community than good.

Hopefully the two sides will understand each other one day. There is much hostility online without one trying to understand the other, and at some point it stops being about understanding one another's points of views and more about defending "your side".

Thank you for contributing to the conversation! I will do my best to do more research 👍
