When it comes to AI art (or "art"), it's hard to find a nuanced position that respects creative workers' labor rights, free expression, copyright law's vital exceptions and limitations, and aesthetics.

@pluralistic I always love your deep thinking about these things. Maybe I am missing something in your arguments but when you use sampling or collage as examples you are creating a new thing. AI art is sampling art to create a thing to replace what it is copying. To literally stand in for it. When it comes to music it probably sucks so much it doesn’t matter but editorial art for example it’s probably a passable imitation enough to mean someone isn’t getting paid.
