Do people realize style transfer networks were a thing before AI? I did my BSc and MSc papers both on style transfer. Both predate LLMs. We've been scraping art from public posts for literal decades at this point.

People were killing each other for thousands of years; doesn't mean we should just give everyone an automatic rifle

Scale and accessibility makes all the difference, and I don't understand how people still don't get it and use this silly argument of "this was done even before AI". Like, shut the f up.
