The picture is not mine. I just adapted it. Don’t know the original source.

      If you mean that’s how machine learning image generation works, well, it’s worse. The companies creating these programmes know exactly where they’re taking it from. They deliberately ignore licensing, example: the GPL. Then they basically create an elaborate spreadsheet and tell the media it’s alive or some nonsense. And in comes the capital.

        As useless as this AI nonsense seems to me, I do argue that it doesn’t violate copyright. For all purposes, looking at examples of something to do it yourself afterwards is not a derivative work. People who made those licenses probably did not foresee that we’d be able to automate that process, or store and copy that knowledge arbitrarily, or sell it, so it’s still a shitty situation…
