    Artists say AI-image generators are copying their style to make thousands of new images — and it's completely out of their control

    AI-image generators are becoming increasingly accessible. OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, recently made its DALL-E image generator open to the public. Artists say some users are using these generators to create thousands of images in their style.

    is true real "appropriation" cheeky

    judges will decide. and if you can't afford a lawyer, you're screwed

    (either side! example: sometimes entities with fancy lawyers will threaten small fry that they used or 'appropriated' content on the web, try to extort fees/fines. Supreme court actually deciding right now the case of Goldstein v. Warhol, that should clarify things a little on this front of 'fair use', but not everything...)

    Do check out the replies from friends and acquaintances - some seem rather jealous.
