    You can’t train your own though. You can’t make your own AI that knows what a cat or Picasso is without it using works that are not yours. You’d never be able to tell it to write you a novel because it wouldn’t have any to work with.

      But if I write a novel, am I not also taking into account every novel I’ve ever read? Can you draw something without first looking at other drawings?

        AI is not sentient and cannot learn or read. It regurgitates a “best guess” and knows nothing. If you use drawing tools to make shapes in Paint, congratulations! You made art, not the computer. If you write the shittiest fanfic in the world, YOU made it, YOU adapted your experiences into your own work.

        AI does not and never will do it. Stop defending it.

          You moved the goal post. I thought the problem was using other things as references for the creation process.

            Why are you fighting so hard to defend AI slop? There was never an issue with anyone using references. The issue is stealing and regurgitating other people’s works and destroying the environment in the process. I’m sorry if that is too advanced for you, as I’m not the first to tell you this.

              When the ad hominem attacks start, it’s time to drop it. Than you for the civil discussion while it lasted.

                Apologies, I’m trying to do this while also feeding a very fussy newborn.

                I’ll instead be an adult and say that I don’t want to continue this discussion. I have better things to do, and you’re getting pedantic about what defines “art”. It’s a lose-lose situation.
