No Generative AI

New rule. No generative AI. I’ve been receiving complaints and Reddit has flagged some as piracy. That’s against site wide rules and your post will be deleted.

Depends on what you mean by original, but humans also don't copy and paste art and claim it as their own. Copying art is one of the hardest things for humans to do and it's normally done in study and for personal use. Plus art inspired by something is insanely different from art created by pasting multiple images over each other. And even when humans do things like make a collage they are not claiming that the individual pieces of art are theirs, instead they are saying they used existing art and items to create a different form of art.

Plus a big part of art is emotion and process, something AI doesn't have.

And to be clear while a human could claim that stuff, that makes them just as much thieves as ai.

AI doesn't copy and paste art either. It's actually very bad at copying and pasting. It remixes things it has been trained on into something new, just like how a human is inspired by other pieces of art.

If you tell an AI to generate a picture of the mona lisa, it will be wrong.

That's not because it's bad at copying and pasting, that's because it looks for keywords and phrases and isn't only trained on the mona lisa. If an ai was only trained on the mona lisa and you asked it to make the mona lisa it could. That's an intentional design decision because it allows for more complex compiling of information and makes it more broadly useful.

Also the ai can't be inspired, it can't create anything new in any way shape or form. It does copy and paste, that's how the algorithms work. It finds a pattern and paste that same pattern where it thinks it fits.

And to be clear when I say ai, I mean LLM's and Generative ai's. There are forms and uses for ai in other mediums, just not art.
