    The reasons include the fact that training data is often included without proper licence to use the work, which is plagiarism. I’m fine with little guys stealing from big corporations, but in this case, it’s big corporations profiting off this, and little guys are the ones who don’t have the resources to defend themselves.

      This is just the good old “You don’t hate X, you hate capitalism.”

        Yes, I would be pro-AI in a communist society. I am pro-AI when AI is used by the proletariat.

      The outrage is about an artist at WotC using an AI model trained on fully licensed images, so the plagiarism argument doesn’t hold any water in this case.

      That’s not what plagiarism means. At the very worst it could be a copyright violation, but they’re not really distributing someone else’s work without permission. Licensing issue? Possibly

        You’re confusing plagiarism for copyright infringement. Copyright infringement is what you’re describing. Technically, some of the most textbook severe cases of academic plagiarism don’t infringe copyright. Plagiarism is taking someone’s ideas without proper credit. In academic spaces, plagiarism is not usually a legal dispute, but instead a matter of integrity.

        These AI plagiarise by nature, because they are incapable of saying which of the data in their training database was used in the creation of each of their works.
