>No I haven't seen artists complaining much, and I actually have a few in my family. I think you're making this stuff up "complaining really violently".
I am saying this in the nicest way possible with no intended offense. But you are actually living under a rock if you haven't been following the news.
>But yeah no, I haven't really seen artists rioting on the news or anything.
"Violently" is just an expression. There's no actual violence here. But there is intense resistance on legal grounds and online attacks.
>I've seen people starting lawsuits about their work being stolen to train these things, which I think is justified because it's "megacorp" taking your work and making money off it without paying royalties, and boy oh boy you'd feel the same way if it was you.
That's just an excuse. These AIs and megacorps were appropriating the art for decades. Google hijacks images from artists for years and caches them on their servers. No artist complained to this extent EVER. Not until AI got to the point where it can create art just as good as the artists themselves... then all of a sudden it's a problem? come on man. This is an attack on AI not on copying art. Don't kid yourself.
