As Stephanie Sterling keeps pointing out, "generative AI" is a really inaccurate description and is at best a marketing term that is supposed to make it sound like tech bros have automated creativity. In reality it's just an elaborate new way to launder art in a way that isn't recognised as stealing by the current legal system. It's "derivative AI" at best (when not used for stealing) because with no input (training dataset) there is no output (big tiddy vidya gf)
