PS started poaching people's images a few months, maybe a year ago to feed their AI. They gave users the ability to opt-out, but that really isn't sufficient.

Just because the image you're sourcing from is hidden behind "AI" doesn't mean it isn't stolen. In a way, that's worse. You don't even know where it came from.

@okayherewego @PhotoshopArt As I understand it, AI *doesn't* steal images or parts of images. It *generates* something, but checks against the database to see if it is valid and acceptable. I.e. the database is like a reference.

Remember the story of two photographers who fought for a long time over the authorship of a photo of a lighthouse, but then it turned out that *perfectly by accident* they both took it from the same angles at the same moment.

@johan @okayherewego there are people who just generate a random pic with AI and post whatever that is. I can't do that because my projects are very complex and AI is not smart enough to generate it. And pics that AI is generating are full of mistakes and I need to work 5-20 hours to repair everything with photoshop. Do you remember those funny pics with you? That is impossible to make with AI. I use AI and Blender to make objects and background that I need and compose the image in Photoshop.

@PhotoshopArt @okayherewego Camrad, I'm practicing the same approach. Only my strength is not enough to work on a piece longer than 4 hours ;-) So sketch collage, img2img, a few iterations - and that will be enough for both web and print. (Well, if 3D is involved - more).
