    And if I send that image to a friend and make them spill their lunch laughing, and then they don’t send it to anyone and that’s the end of its effect, what harm have I caused the world?

    Why should those artists be able to prevent me from recreating their art? What if I don’t use AI but use photoshop and different digital tools and complex algorithms to make that meme? Why is that different from AI?

    Information should not be hoarded, and capitalist systems of restrictions and ownership are the wrong way to manage it. Full Stop. The fact that AI is exposing what a lie IP is, is not AI’s fault as a technology.

      I’m sure we weren’t talking about private sharings before. Moving the goalposts much?

      What if I don’t use AI but use photoshop and different digital tools and complex algorithms to make that meme? Why is that different from AI?

      Simple, it is focusing on ONE specific artwork, instead of millions. Oh, and also it is more energy efficient.

      Lmfao no one is “hoarding” “information” in the case of drawings. You want to recreate their art so damn much? You absolutely can! Here is the actual tool you need to do so!

      And btw, you aren’t “recreating” anything when you input a few words into your “eyy-ayy”. You aren’t spending any effort to do so, it is all computer’s doing. So you cannot claim it as “yours”. Full stop.

      The fact that AI is exposing what a lie IP is, is not AI’s fault as a technology.

      I’m sure these fanart makers that your “eyy-ayy” is so eager to steal from were really owning those IPs. So did those people who were drawing original stuff. Fair use is a myth, wake up sheeple!11!!! Lmfao.

        I’m sure we weren’t talking about private sharings before.

        Based on what? You brought up stealing information like it’s a bad thing, I pointed out that information shouldn’t be legally restricted from use when it costs nothing to be used.

        Simple, it is focusing on ONE specific artwork, instead of millions.

        No, the algorithms that Photoshop lets me use to manipulate images are the same algorithms used by everyone else, everywhere around the world. Try trillions, not millions.

        Oh, and also it is more energy efficient.

        Yeah, use your CPU to decode a 4K video stream and tell me how much power you use.

        There’s a reason companies like Apple and Microsoft have been pushing NPUs.

        Lmfao no one is “hoarding” “information” in the case of drawings. You want to recreate their art so damn much? You absolutely can! Here is the actual tool you need to do so!

        Yes, you literally are in the same paragraph. You are telling me that I am not allowed to recreate them, unless I use the exact same specific tool that the original artist used. I presume I’m also not allowed to take any art classes that the original artists wouldn’t have been exposed to either right? Why can’t I recreate the painting using chalk? Or ASCII art? Why do you get to decide how I can recreate it?

        And how is you telling me I can’t recreate it, not hoarding information?

        And btw, you aren’t “recreating” anything when you input a few words into your “eyy-ayy”. You aren’t spending any effort to do so, it is all computer’s doing. So you cannot claim it as “yours”. Full stop.

        Same as every Photoshop and After Effects tool based on algorithms right?

        Or more precisely, what’s different about being assisted by advanced computational photometry algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend, and being assisted by advanced machine learning algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend?

          Artworks are not “information”, and you surely can access em, viewing and downloading and all.

          You are telling me that I am not allowed to recreate them, unless I use the exact same specific tool that the original artist used

          The idea was to “use the tools artists are using” but you managed to reinterpret it as “you can only use the one single tool the artist uses”. :V

          I presume I’m also not allowed to take any art classes that the original artists wouldn’t have been exposed to either right? Why can’t I recreate the painting using chalk? Or ASCII art? Why do you get to decide how I can recreate it?

          No one is saying thay you cannot recreate it, I’m just stating the matter of fact that you aren’t recreating anything when you enter a prompt on a text box.

          You want to be treated like an artist and not a thief? Put in the effort. It is simple as that.

          Same as every Photoshop and After Effects tool based on algorithms right?

          Or more precisely, what’s different about being assisted by advanced computational photometry algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend, and being assisted by advanced machine learning algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend?

          See above, entering prompt on a text box is NOT the same as using the tools given on a drawing/photo editing program.

          Also there are lots of tutorials on how to use these so called “PhD requiring tools” out there lol. Once again, put in the effort.

            Lmao, bro, how do you think that digital art got to your computer? Over the art super highway that we built seperate from the rest of the internet?

            The idea was to “use the tools artists are using” but you managed to reinterpret it as “you can only use the one single tool the artist uses”. :V

            And what makes a large language model algorithm different from an advanced Photoshop algorithm?

            Your restrictions are arbitrary and based on nothing.

            No one is saying thay you cannot recreate it, I’m just stating the matter of fact that you aren’t recreating anything when you enter a prompt on a text box.

            Literally by the definition of the story being discussed, yes you are. You are recreating an or many artists’ styles and using those to create a new image.

            You want to be treated like an artist and not a thief? Put in the effort. It is simple as that.

            …said every dumb old fart about musicians using computers to sample other songs

            It turns out they were wrong and you can create new art from pieces of existing art.

            See above, entering prompt on a text box is NOT the same as using the tools given on a drawing/photo editing program.

            LMFAO bro, you can’t just scream “I DECLARE THEYRE NOT THE SAME” like you’re Michael Scott and expect it to be true. Name what makes using one algorithm different from the other, don’t worry we’ll wait.

            Also there are lots of tutorials on how to use these so called “PhD requiring tools” out there lol. Once again, put in the effort.

            I said it takes a PhD to understand the underlying algorithm, as in you and most people using those tools would never ever be able to come up with that algorithm on your own; as in, youre getting assistance from a highly advanced algorithm running on the most complex machines ever made, but you think that’s fine and art, but using a slightly different algorithm is suddenly stealing and can’t be art.

            Again, your distinction is junk. People call you a luddite because you are one. You’re railing against an algorithm like it’s evil instead of just a new piece of technology that can be used for bad, or good.

              Seems like I’ve entertained you enough on that front. And thanks for confirming what I said literally at the beginning lmfao.

              Get blocked, and get fucked.

                And this is how you create the kind of echo chamber that prevents you from being able to answer a simple question or engage in basic reasoning.
