[変な変態]

Good call to move the discussion.

First I would like to share where I stand on AI image generation as of now:

> I think the technology is interesting and promising;

> Outside of the technological achievement, I’m yet to be impressed by most images generated;

> I think the way datasets are currently generated is problematic;

> I think the technology raises some interesting questions around copyright.

I tend to agree with Prof_Sai that generating images that are consistent does require some skill and knowledge. Yet I can’t say that there are many AI generated images I would pay for. This has more to do with not finding the works distinct enough, then thinking it takes no skill to produce.

@ArcaneBEFan
Is your unwillingness to pay for AI generated works related to a lac in value, or is it related to ethical concerns?

For example, if someone managed to generate truly amazing original looking art; using a dataset only containing works in the public domain. Would you think this has value?
