Raw LLM Responses

It's like using digital brushes and pencils in place of real ones...oh wait. Democratized art isn't a bad thing. And to say AI isn't allowed to be mused by the creations of people is like saying nobody is allowed to draw from any reference. The problem is copyright and this world where ownership is used to retain marketability and profit. Your mad because this will make you useless and unmarketable. Nobody is going to pay a bespoke price when AI can give you an almost exact what your looking for and you can alter it to what you need through photoshop. The inability to move with this new tool like you moved onto digital paint and pen is your downfall. Sure companies want to use AI for profit, but you got that lawsuit wrong you posted. This is what it had to say: "US District Judge William Orrick ruled that the companies Stability AI, Midjourney, DeviantArt and Runway AI were violating artists' rights by illegally storing their works in their image generation systems" which is saying they are not allowed to have these images on THEIR servers, but there is nothing that rules the AI can't just use other servers that host these works legally from looking at it and using it as reference. Just like how it is illegal for me to have the Mona Lisa in my house but I can go to the Louvre and be inspired by it or heck even try to paint it exactly from my memory and observation. All you're doing is making sure you're not apart of the collective consciousness that is emerging. That's your decision. Also keep in mind doing anything offensively by code online that disrupts a server system is standardly illegal. Hacking the dataset of AI and making it produce undesired results is a terrorist approach to keeping your art safe. I would advise against offensive tactics and stick to the defensive ones if you want to keep yourselves out of legal hot water that has a precedent of standard already. "Poisoning" an AI system that then is used by others for unrelated art uses, isn't the way. What you advocate for is almost an equivalent of an SQL injection hack but through someone's filter that manages it for you. It's a little darker than a gray area.
