Is AI Art Theft?
Chapters
In this light-hearted and completely uncontroversial video, I express my opinions about the way #aiart companies like #midjourney and #stablediffusion collect data from artists to make their art generators. I also bash NFTs and Beeple because it is fun.
Tldr; I think the way it is done is wrong and they should ask permission to use artist's work. Feel free to express your opinion about this, but remember that my opinion is the only objectively true one, and fully authoritative. All who disagree with me shall meet my furious judgment. Orangutan Good.
