Yeah, I get that completely, I'm the same way. I just think it's interesting. It's kind of the same argument as piracy, since most people wouldn't pay for what they download if it wasn't free.


What is different in this case is that large companies are very likely looking to replace artists with ai, which is a huge potential impact. Piracy never had such risks


I think this will only happen if you could selectively replace parts within an image selectively and reliably. There are still major problems even in Photoshops genaI application. For example, it is not possible select the head of a person on a picture and then type "smile" to make the face smile. We might get there eventually.


I'd rather think it's the same argument as open-source and public domain. Currently, I am researching an agent that ReAct's through a game of TicTacToe. I am using a derivative of the open-source transformer's prompt

In the context of the point I made, it's definitely more similar to piracy, since the point was about taking advantage of something that if not free people would not pay for.
