#AIArt controversy 

I find myself having slightly heated discussions, simultaneously, with both "AI art is theft!" people, and "AI art is not a problem" people.

(The easy thought here would be "I must have it about right, then", but over the decades I've become less fond of that conclusion.)

For completeness, here's the current "AI Art is theft" video under discussion (it's imho not bad, at least as it talks about copyright issues):

and the "AI Art is no problem" one (under which I posted a long critical reply):

@ceoln How about "All art is theft"?

I would have a relatively hard time making a case for that! :)

"Intellectual property is theft", I could do...

@ceoln

And are these "original" artworks in the room with us right now?

As I stubbornly maintained in one of the threads I posted this about, copying (even copyright infringement) isn't theft. If an action leaves the original holder of a thing still holding it, it wasn't theft. :)

Yeah, I'm pedantic!
