No. And that's the point...
So if it can't function properly without other people's work deciding what the art will look like that's called copying.
If human beings get shit for copying famous art or tracing we need to hold AI to the same standard.
I can't believe I just had to provide you with a definition of the word copy.
Are you freaking serious!!!
Being inspired by and creating an original production is not the same as copying if that original work is inspired by other artists!!!
By your definition of copying because Elvis Presley was inspired by Muddy Waters they made the exact same music!
LLMs don't produce copyrighted material they take inspiration from the training data so to speak. They create original productions.
In the same way that you can envision the Mona Lisa in your head but you couldn't paint it by hand.
You know copying literal brushstrokes and traces identifiable from real artists is different than being inspired, it's amazing the level of denial you cultists will self induce to keep it making sense.
Your god is not valuable enough to give more rights than human beings. Sorry
I don't care what techbro conmen told you.
AI will never be a replacement for actual creativity, and is already being legislated against properly in civilized countries.
The fact that you keep calling llm's AI simply indicate your ignorance as to what you're even talking about.
They're not copying brush Strokes they're creating their own.
You have no idea how these things work what they are or even what they do you're just on the bandwagon hating these tools for reasons that you don't even understand yourself.
If you're so upset with all this stuff go live in a Luddite community or something.
There it is, the techbro buzzword.
The person you're replying to is right, you're a cultist. You desperately desire to be able to skip to the end where you make a bunch of money off your 'art' utilizing tools whose largest claims to fame currently are literally copying the Ghibli style and being bad at math.
There are legitimate uses for AI, art is not one of them - and anyone that can actually appreciate art will always reject you.
No. He's not right. Not at all. The reason that you and the other person think you're right is because you're ignorant you haven't studied history and the only reason you sound so confident is because you ate a dunning Kruger sandwich.
What you are is effectively a religious manuscript writer during the time of Gutenberg when he invented the printing press. The machine was called heresy because it would have removed the power from the clergy or so they thought in any case.
Any sufficiently impactful technology will create people like you that push against it mostly due to fear of some kind.
Notable technology breakthrough met with severe skepticism include things like electricity the automobile and vaccines.
There are a very very few manuscript writers left in the world because of the printing press yet here we are nevertheless.
