you absolute moron you have no idea how the ai art generators work do you? it steals fucking assets from artists online and puts them into its fake ass shit art
An AI does not store any information about anything it has seen on the internet (or whatever data it was trained on). It cannot recreate what it has seen, to any better extent than what a great artist could. All images on the internet would not fit any amount of hard drives you as a private person could buy, but the AI itself will fit in just a few GB (because no "stolen" images are stored!), just information on how to draw things.
Banning AI Art, is kind of the same as banning artists that have looked at others art to learn how to draw. It is more or less the exact same thing. Just that an AI can spend a bazillion more time training and doesn't grow as tired as a human would.
It depends heavily on the AI system used. There are instances where the system put forth artwork with resurfaced signatures. That is only possible, if that signature was stored. Besides being quite embarassing.
We are not quite there yet, that the AI systems really learn how to draw, but if we were, yes, banning them makes as much sense as baring students from studying artwork that they could use as reference for their own style. A glaring example can be seen in those AI systems that make pictures of people with fused body parts and extra hands, fingers and so on. They do not grasp how a human is supposed to look like. They just garble whatever is associated with the prompt and the AI operator can sift through 100 pics to get a good one.
I am very familiar with how AI art works. It does not use assets, it uses deep learning from a dataset, essentially determining the "essence" of promts, and creating an image from them. I would strongly suggest you actually look into how it works before spreading misinformation on the internet. Here's a video from Vox as a starting point:
