A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What makes it even trickier is that taking AI generated art and using it however you want definitively isn’t copyright infringement because only works by humans can be protected by copyright.
But that's not what they did, converting it into a set of instructions a computer can use to recreate it is just adding steps.
And, yes, that's what they've done else we wouldn't find pieces of others works mixed in.
Also, even if that was how it worked, it's still theft of someone's else's labor to feed your business.
If it wasn't, they would have asked for permission first.
I think my initial reply to you was meant to go somewhere else but Connect keeps dropping me to the bottom of the thread instead of where the reply I'm trying to get to is.
I'm going to leave it (for consistency sake) but I don't think it makes much sense as a reply to your post.
Sorry about that!
