Raw LLM Responses

I haven't watched many of your videos before, but this was a great one dude. I had heard of artists getting "mad" per say, but as someone who is still getting the hang of drawing, I hadn't paid much attention to the whole thing. As someone who HAS used AI art, my main motivation was to use it to create something I couldn't, which ultimately failed at times, but I still tried. My goal was always to someday draw my own art though, so I'm not sure how much I can relate to the whole community, but my best guess is that when they use the AI art generators, they either want money (thus monetizing off of it) or want to be creative (sometimes character ate of an OC or something of the sort). Personally I fall into the second category, but I also try to make sure that I'm not specifying a particular creator as a reference, but I also understand that that isn't exactly going to help if an artist sticks to a particular theme and/or style and some of their art gets used for the image generated for me. Ultimately, I understand where you're coming from and what you're take on this is. I also understand why some - if not a lot - of people disagree with you. This sort of thing is not an easily won battle. There are always going to be positives and negatives, whether that be right now, or after the fact. I would even argue that even if this battle is won and all those major companies take down their AI or whatever perfect end you imagine happens, people are still going to try to monetize off of other peoples art. That happens with videos and streams here, so why should there be a difference. Sure there could be laws going against it, but that still means some idiot out there's going to try to do it - and ultimately to that idiot, the artist that decides to go against him is going to be the bad guy. Not because he has a screwed up world view or just wants to blame somebody other than himself - although possible - it's probably because that idiot has a reason for creating art off of your own. Whether than be because he recently lost a job and needs a bit of money or that his family is very poor and needs some way to feed them.
