I’m taking the bait.

The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn’t his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that’s still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

And this isn’t the same as line tracing or referencing other’s art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It’s drawn from the work of humans.

Moreover, I don’t want to remove the human element from art ever.

Judging by my Age of Empire games… yes.

Boeing failure. They were supposed to return long ago.

Yes, you see… i want the taxes I pay to go to helping people. We could instead, say, stop giving as much to the DoD. We could raise taxes on corporations and close off shore loopholes… you know, basic good governance.

Now if we could cleanse the junk and joke guides as well somehow…

At least they’re trying instead of ridiculing those who are.

The glass clearly says those are feet, not ferrets.

I won’t lie.I don’t get it.

I use to spend so much time on there as a kid. I had a flashback as soon as I saw that avatar.

I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it’s not enforces from day 1, doesn’t change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

People don’t have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.
