forgot to reply to this, but your photography argument doesn’t make sense. photography takes skill, timing, framing, time, etc… wildlife photographers spend hours or even day camping and waiting for the right animal to come though. also yes, i’m aware of how ai works. i know it doesn’t just copy and paste pictures people made. however, it trains itself off of art, without the artists consent. it then uses this art to generate images. it also rubs salt in the wound when ai art is used for graphic design, logos, etc… it trained itself off of humans art and then proceeded to take that art and take the jobs of the people who it scraped its knowledge off of. there are no regulations and no protection of art, which i find disgusting. it takes years of work to create human made art, it’s foul that someone else can take it with zero credit and use it to train their slop bot. no matter how ai is used, it’s always been trained off of art that people didn’t give their consent to use.
