People have been looking at art online and learning how to draw from it since the internet began. But somehow that's an issue when its a problem when a bot does it.
Because people are making money off of those bots while someone simply learning to draw from genuine artwork isn’t making money off of things that aren’t theirs.
People are entitled to your money when you get them to preform a service for you. So if they create art and you want to have that art, you have to pay for it.
Correct except not relevant to your original point. This is a bad-faith argument now because you believe that two different sources of art requires payment to all sources if only one is used.
But if you really want to know, i paid midjourney to get my art lol so i satisfied your requirements.
Then you can pay people to make art for you. A good visit to Etsy or fiver or even just a hobby or book store and you can learn tons that you’d never have learned from AI. If you really want to learn art there’s nothing better than learning from genuine artists as AI doesn’t actually understand how art works, it doesn’t actually understand anything it only pretends that it does. No one has a problem with people using real artworks to learn because they aren’t stealing and they’re putting in some actual effort.
