On the other hand, I believe no one has a real ownership over an infinitely reproduce able digital media. Its why NFT bros were laughed at with copy paste.
If someone made it with their hands, they can do whatever they want with it. If they want it to make a special artwork for their friend, they have every right to get upset if they sell it and it becomes public. I don’t care about intellectual property laws. But people still have a right to do whatever they want with their work.
Anyway, AI art is a corporate tool now. It doesn’t matter if some random guy can produce original artwork or whatever. The point is that companies will still profit billions with this, and if it means restricting some random layman from creating art to preserve some control over your livelihood - which is quite measly compared to a traditional job - then so be it.
