chisels, brushes, and cameras donât train on the existing work of humans and then âcreateâ art. they are actual tools. ai is not able to do anything without training on and directly taking from the work of others.
if iâm inspired by dalĂ and rothko i can make work that references them, or even steals from them but my hand is also undeniably involved. ai is not inspired by works, it is trained on them for the purpose of copying. itâs stealing in the laziest possible way and canât possibly include the hand of the maker because there isnât one.
for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.
