Of course, I’m not in favor of this “AI slop” that we’re having in this century (although I admit that it has some good legitimate uses but greed always speaks louder) but I wonder if it will suffer some kind of piracy, if it is already suffering or people simple are not interested in “pirated AI”

    How is what they’re doing different from, say, an IPTV provider?

      So a while ago I was on a platform where the community valued art that was made by actual artists. AI Art was strictly forbidden and anyone who showcased said AI art in their gallery or used it as a profile picture, had it removed and could face penalty.

      AI has been trained to generate art styles from many artists by crawling through the web. Anyone can go to any AI generating source, punch in a few descriptive keywords, tell AI to mimic a style as closely as possible and now you have a copy of said material.

      The difference is, is that IPTV is just an internet-based streaming station similar to how networks operate to broadcast television shows. There’s nothing to really pirate.
