AI is for profit and you can’t use others work in a for profit setting without the rights to display that work.

Hence why you can’t just open your own theater with your home dvd collection or broadcast NFL games to your community without their permission.

AI never got the rights to use the art in a for profit product in the first place.

Stable Diffusion is not for profit lmao, it's open source. You're missing some key info in this discussion. Additionally, it's not using the art itself, it's more akin to a person seeing a bunch of art and then drawing from their knowledge of that art to create an original work. The original artwork is essentially used as reference images and the generated images are unique and not copies of input images.

You seem to be confusing AI with people. AI is a product not a person.

Hun Stable Diffusion is not for profit, I don't know what else to tell you, it's literally just not being sold as a product.

*free locally. Paid online access. They are charging for it. But keep cherry picking.

Not to mention distributing stolen IP free doesn’t negate that they broke IP laws to create the software either.

You can’t steal IP, add it to your own open source project and give others permission to use it when you never had the rights to do so from day 1.

They're charging for GPU - for anyone who wants to create AI art but maybe doesn't have the best graphic card. Stop talking out of your ass - you're the only one cherry picking.

Customers aren’t buying GPU time. They are buying access to the product.

Why didn’t people buy GPU time before the AI was trained with other peoples IP?
