You don't see a difference between a person spending years learning techniques to create art by hand, and spending months or years studying and practicing some famous artists style, and then spending days manually crafting drawing a single piece of artwork in the style and quality of the originals.
The difference between that, and a person just entering a prompt to create some drawing in some style.
The model looked at orders of magnitude more examples of artwork than a single human could look at and study in a lifetime.
To me there is a clear difference here.
I am merely saying that perhaps the rules should change due to the drastic change in time and effort required to do the work.
Nobody is saying let’s not have these new efficient tools. All people are saying is let’s make protections and considerations etc for the original artists and their work that’s being used for training and for when the model draws from it to replicate the style that they developed.
The rules do change, but as a meritocracy as society simply decides to move on or not. There will be no cabal of artists who define how the rules will change. It will be organic. Like moving on from cave paintings to impressionism.
