If any work is used for AI training, then the author should be paid. I hope that artists will be protected.

Abide the law, or meet consequences?

i agree in part with the parent comment, art can be done for hobby or for work, if the work part is being replaced by generators then art will be confined as an hobby and maybe that will be better for everyone. Stop at all the laundry-multimillionary "art" racket.

btw, regarding copyright use, i don't see how AIs are not in the "fair use" category, they take human-generated content and apply a transformation to it, generating new images. The only problem is that generating images is a million-times quicker and cheaper

If any work is used for human training, then the author should be paid.

See how ridiculous that sounds?

If a 'work' was created for view only, and a "big tech company" sends employees to spy and capture anything 'work' related during human training, with mischievous intent to copy everything without permission, without compensation, so that author cannot use it anymore then NO, I do not find that ridiculous.

I find that evil.
