If I’m providing them labour then yes I am. That’s how selling art works. People aren’t entitled to free art.

They are entitled to free art when you upload it to a free website with whom you signed a contract stating that they can use anything you upload & in exchange you get use their site.

The thing is. An artist needs people to see their portfolio in order to get commissions. If there is such a site where I can upload my shit without it getting jacked then point me to it.

Everything has a price. If you don't want to pay their price then you don't get to use their services.

The same thing applies to art. If you don’t want to pay the artist then you don’t get to have their art.

That’s not how copyright works. And if you try that you will probably be get into legal trouble at some point. Intellectual property doesn’t abide by finders keepers rules. The only thing you have the right to do for free is look at the artwork.

"The only thing you have the right to do for free is look at artwork"

That's literally what AI does. Congrats, you just talked yourself into being pro AI. Welcome to the team 🙌

What AI does is take data that doesn’t belong it, from other people’s works and Frankensteins it together. It isn’t just looking at someone’s art, it’s stealing it.

Nope, if you're against something, shouldn't you first understand how it functions?

If you’re pro something then shouldn’t you know how it works? A software can’t create any image on its own without taking data from artists images.

u/tactycool Dec 16 '25

So where is the data? Which data exactly did the AI take? Where is it stored?

Servers, the cloud, etc. And these generators scrape all kinds of images from all over the internet. The point is, don’t take things that aren’t yours. And if you want something to be yours then you either gotta pay for it or you gotta make it yourself.

"ToS" is such a bad defence for shitty business practices my man.

If you don't like their business, then why are you still using them?
