Picture this if you will. You walk into the Louvre in Paris. Looking at all the masterpieces made by the big artists like Leonardo da vinci, Donatello, Monet etc. Then you take out scissors and start cutting pieces from everything and put together to make a new image and say you made it. 1: You'd be arrested 2: You'd be charged with: Destruction of property, vandalism and theft 3: You'd be fined a huge amount of money and looking at a few years in jail. 4: Those art pieces are now ruined and can't be fixed cause 1 it took those artists YEARS to paint those 2: They're dead That's what would happen if it happened in the offline world. But in the digital world, its okay despite watermarks and signatures of it being copyrighted material. And people brush it off like its fine when its not. 1: You steal pieces from peoples' hard work, cause that's what the AI generator does to make those images 2: Artists are losing business cause, why pay money when you can just generate what you're
