      It is, and the hostility in every single one of your comments in this post confirms that it is. You may not like artists for whatever reason but they're workers just like we are and their labor deserves to be properly compensated.

        the deserve fair comp but that doesn't mean you turn around and defend liberal ideas about intellectual property

        it's not about the treats I don't care about the damn treats i'm too busy making my own stuff for free to care about entertainment media products i'm not gonna watch. if you're gonna accuse me of something at least make it credible.

          i’m too busy making my own stuff for free

          Thats the treats part. The ai generated images are the cheap treats made at the expense of artists.

            i'm not making ai art lmfao.

            I *am * sing pre-made art assets but those were included in a retail software product and the artists who made these textures and animations were exploited in the boring old fashioned way of work for-hire long before this ai stuff popped up as a commercially viable product. oh and i don't owe those guys anything ya lib.

            keep making shit up about me though it's funny.

                  "Intellectual property (IP) is a category of property that includes intangible creations of the human intellect."

                  The actual pictures themselves are not Intellectual Property, they are the material products of labor. Is this a bit? This isnt hard to understand.

                    it's all digital copies of stuff. there's no theft occurring, the only violation is within a liberal framework of intellectual property laws.

                    copying isn't theft. is this a bit? This isn't hard to understand.

          And no one is "defending IP". Learn the difference between owning the concept of a character/story and owning the actual art you make. A painting is not IP, it is a material creation that should be owned by its creator. AI isnt "stealing" ideas from people, its taking the data from actual art itself.

          Its like if I traced someone elses drawing and sold it as my own.

            no it's like if you traced one line each out of millions of paintings and put them together with a computer.
