What's the deal with AI art?
Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

The only major issue I personally see with it are the fakes/deepfakes. The quality is still pretty subpar right now yes but that's something that will get better over time, just like computer graphics have over the last few decades. Being against AI art just because it's easy seems like a rather reactionary take to me, Marxists shouldn't be in favor of intentionally gatekeeping things behind innate ability or years of expensive study.
As for the deal with artists, ideally there should be a fine distinction between personal and commercial use that empowers indie artists while holding large corporations accountable for theft.
