      Did he paid studio ghibli for making a draw of their characters? Did he asked the authors of the character for permission for using its image?

      Is not that how it’s supposed to work for anti-AI folks? Or is it “rules for thee but not for me”?

          He’s badly arguing that since the artist saw, has knowledge of, and has recreated the art style using his brain, he’s no better then someone who uses AI to do the ‘same thing’

          He can’t tell why it’s different and that’s to be expected of an ai prompter. It would take effort.

        Hey, guess what! Your argument is so inane, even OpenAI is now convinced it was a really stupid idea too. But sure, go on pretending that freely available fan art by a single person is exactly the same as a paid service by a multi-billion dollar company.

          The thing is that I as a single person, can algo use AI self hosted in my computer. And I can, and being me I will, offer anything I made for free.

          If you tell me that the bad thing about AI is pretending to charge money for their usage we would have an agreement. I think is a technology that should be funded by the community or the state and distributed for free usage of everyone.

        It’s the same rule, “fair use”. Copyright isn’t absolute, it needs to strike a balance between “give creators control of their thing” but also “people deserve to participate in our collective culture.”

        Making a one-off drawing of a character and not trying to make money off of it likely checks the fair use boxes (it’s an explicitly fuzzy system, so a trial would be needed to say for sure if it’s fair use or not). Whether the training set for a generative AI system is fair use or not is still an open question, but many feel that it can’t be, as it’s operating on a massive scale (basically every image ever created by humanity) and has the potential to eliminate the entire industry of humans selling the art they create, which copyright is supposed to protect. Ghibli isn’t going to be harmed by someone drawing a picture of their characters for a meme. It could be harmed by another company making money off of mass production of knockoffs of their style which were created with thousands of unauthorized copies of their direct artwork.
