"But I still want to get paid for it."

    But I still want to get paid for it

    If only there was an economic system that made it so he could make a good living regardless of the output of his work... soviet-hmm

      At the end of the day, I think this is the important thing. Arguments about IP and how AI (or AI "artists") affect artists are understandable, but are missing the forest for the trees.

      There's one, singular reason art isn't well recognised nor compensated: Capitalism. And so long as it exists, no attitude or approach to AI, no purity filter, no level of enforcement of IP law, is going to effectively protect artists and meaningfully allow them to pursue their work.
