Yes. But they are people, perhaps with families to feed. Not computers.

Cool idea. I can see keeping colored pages of these by my kids up on the fridge a lot longer than what’s on there now!

So it’s ok to steal as long as you are feeding a family with it? :) I get what you’re saying, anyway and it’s an important distinction.

I guess what you see as “stealing” I see as inspiration. I also believe that there will be artists who use these new artistic image generation models in ways that are new and interesting just like the first person who used spray paint for graffiti was ripped off by everyone else.

It delighted my kids to see themselves depicted in coloring sheets in situation where they are currently interested. There is no world where I would have paid an artist to make these photos, and we would have just colored on blank paper.

Again, I get that real people’s content was devoured by these big companies, but at the same time I am much more concerned about bigger issues and would rather focus on getting ahead of AI rather than fighting it.
