And they never had control over what art other people are able to see.
I’m not sure what you mean. I’m not prevented from seeing genuine human art.
The issue is if we let this keep going then within 10 years 99.99% of all art ever will be ai trash and you will not see original art, since it will be blotted out with the spam.
I don’t think that will be the case. We have machines that make us clothing and such, but hand-crafted goods are admired for their artistry, and those who can afford them will happily pay a premium.
Over 50 games were released daily on Steam in 2024, but we still found the great titles by word of mouth, reviews, and awards.
Maybe a lot of “art” will be generated, but I think not being able to copyright AI works will make corporations prefer human-made art so that they’ll have a monopoly over the rights. I think it’s more the case that generated assets will replace/broaden stock assets.
I know when I say art you just see dollar signs
What makes you say that?
it has to steal from artists in its training data
One of the reasons I don’t have a burning hated for AI art is because I can’t see a difference between what it generates and what I generate. I also steal from artists in my training data, be it watching a tutorial or using references. A seemingly original idea like a cat drinking tea on the moon is really just combining every Victorian tea party painting I’ve ever seen, every cat I’ve ever seen, real or drawn, and every depiction of the moon I’ve ever seen. Anything I can imagine comes from stimuli previously consumed and techniques taught by others.
