the datasets, at least right now, need to be huge to get useful stuff out of them. Even if you banded together you probably couldn't, not for the results everyone is swooning over, at least.

There are many smaller scale ones, sure, and they're cool! but like, there can really be no ethical "AI" generative art that performs as well as the big ones.

I dont bring this up to shame people, but instead to point out the obvious: pushes towards "ethical" "AI" art that these companies are pushing for, is not a thing to get behind, because it'll still only be possible by trampling copyright.

And maybe they'll go after copyright next. But it won't be in a way that benefits artists, or you.

it's always a trap. It's just the traps are less obvious than Adobe slowly enclosing tools everyone used for art into a subscription service.

in reply to @NireBryce's post:

the chatGPT one, while not art, is really telling.

when I asked for a list of papers by a discredited scientist to debunk him, it said the OpenAI ethical guidelines say it cannot spread misinformation, even for the uses of countering misinformation (it's words, not mine. well, I'm paraphrasing.)

they never really were in the first place. the ethics teams were a PR move to keep people feeling good about them until they could come up with a killer app that would get most people to fall in love with them

now that ChatGPT is enormously popular and image-generator AIs have largely weathered the negative press, they're dropping their masks and cranking the profit engines to full power

Also, in terms of quality, I'd guess that the people who produce the art that AI users most want to copy - professional concept artists who spend days on highly detailed pieces, or stock photographers who use thousands of dollars of equipment and pay their models - are going to be some of the least likely to consent to having it harvested.

I wonder if there's an AI that uses only public domain images? It'd be good at the "vintage" look, if not at hyperrealistic epic 8k artstation trending reddit.
