It seems to me that these people in general are fairly unhappy people, and despite the popular saying, it is my understanding that money can bring happiness in the form of stability.

Anyone with any sense objects to the use of all forms of generative machine learning models because they are all based on theft. Whether you're talking about generating images, audio, video, prose, or code, all of the models were trained on source material which was acquired illegally.

Framing these objections as "fear" is intentionally disingenuous and is an attempt to dodge the criminal aspects of how the training data used to produce the models was collected.

You cannot be a moral person and a generative AI user at the same time, they are mutually exclusive.

    I don't know if that last part is true in every culture.

    Stealing the work of artists is not moral in any culture.

    I'd personally be flattered if someone stole my art.

    No, if you were an artist that has pieces out you do not want it stolen and copied.

    That's like saying you wouldn't mind if a stranger took your child at the park.

    I create art for the enjoyment of creating art, please steal it. Start with the july issue.

    In 2001 one of the first pieces of art I posted to the internet was quickly stolen by Eric Bauman of Ebaum's World. Shortly after, I actually had people start accusing ME of stealing it from Ebaum's World. I realized that day, that the general public are idiots, and if I share my art with them it's no longer mine and at best becomes part of the cultural zeitgeist.
