Why are people against AI art? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Since AI art often uses the anime art style, it's pretty common in the anime community. But why are people so against it? Well, AI art doesn't create from scratch. Instead, an AI is trained on hundreds to thousands of individual art pieces. Then, it can use these to generate a new art piece. However, it's difficult for an AI to get it perfect even with a lot of training, so recently people have been generating a piece and then editing it. This still isn't a good thing because people don't have permission to use art for this purpose. Artists put hours of time into their artwork, so using it for AI is like stealing someone else's work. Anyone can learn to draw, but it's difficult and takes a lot of time. So in a way, using AI is just the lazy way of doing it. It's also unnecessary, since a lot of artists also do commissions for money. Using someone else's art to learn how to draw is a lot different than just outright stealing it. It's basically like when people were just tracing someone else's art and then changing the colors. Both tracing and AI training are just different forms of art theft. So unless it's for personal use, I'm heavily against using AI for making art. But even using it for personal use feels wrong after knowing it's stealing other's hard work. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
