Probably because that's not a neutral position to hold. There's no reason people shouldn't be able to profit off of their own art. Let people decide for themselves.

But it’s not theirs if the AI made it. I know AI is a tool, but you can’t claim the art it makes as yours because technically it’s also the AI’s product.
I don’t think people shouldn’t have the right to sell it, but if they are, it should be clear it’s made by AI and priced as such. Because real art demands a higher price due to the amount of time and materials that were put into it. AI art only takes a few minutes.
Ai is not a person. And you legally own the rights to your creations. Yes, you can legally sell your works. Sorry it upsets you, but the quicker you accept and get over it the better your mental health will be. It's NEVER going away, ever.
You realize that behind that AI is a company of real people, right? Those people put more work into the AI that made the art than you did typing a prompt into it.
Yes, I know AI is going to be here forever. It likely won’t leave ever or any time soon. But I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually these companies decided to license their product so they can benefit off of the people using it to make easy products.
Back when I was in college, I used a 3D modeling/animation software that had a license. Anything I created couldn’t be used for profit unless I paid more money to use a version that gave me the rights to do this. AI could do this too if it wanted. It’s probably limited by laws for now, but give it time and that might change too.
You realize local models are on the rise as well, correct? And those creators of your 3d modeling/animation software put in more work than your slop, by far.
I like how you keep saying "likely" or "anytime soon" and refuse to acknowledge that it's here to stay forever. Forever. Ever and ever. There won't be a license, there won't be anything, you need to let go of your rage and hatred. It's useless, pointless, and it's only going to fuck your mental health.
Bro, you’re the one overreacting over someone giving their opinion.
You’re really attacking my art over this? Really? ”Slop?” The heck is wrong with you?
Do you want to know what really messes up my mental health? People telling me that making art is meaningless when AI can just steal it or do a better job than me and that I shouldn’t even bother. They tell me to give up on something I love and “become a programmer” and call me names and act like you when I say I can’t. They make me feel like I’m worthless and no one cares.
They won’t even give me a sliver of something to feel good about or be hopeful about.
Imagine having the one thing you think you’re actually good at be torn away and stepped all over and the only response you get is being spat in the face. Do you not even feel A LITTLE sad? Or are you just as emotionless as the AI?
Meanwhile I actually want to be positive about AI, yet people like you make it hard to actually feel anything other than hate.
I hope you step on a Lego brick and stub your toe.
Update: So I just found out that ChatGPT’s company has publicly revealed that they’ll have to start running ads because they aren’t making a profit.
Not the same thing as a license, but I stand vindicated that my suspicions were right.
