Meet The Three Artists Behind A Landmark Lawsuit Against AI Art Generators

I don't think training a machine learning tool to paint something in the style of images scraped from the Internet is not fundamentally different than human artists learning to paint something in the style from another artists by looking at their pictures online.

What happens to the art community is just the same thing that happened to the weavers back in the late 1700s and early 1800s - their jobs are getting replaced with machines. Nothing new at all here. The real problem is that artists don't see themselves as part of the Proletariat, forced to sell their labour on the marketplace. If we were living in a society not ruled by markets and private property, artists wouldn't have to worry about AI image generators at all.
