Before those AI if I ever wanted something specific I had to go see an artist and ask (prompt) him for the art I want. If I ask him to draw Andy Warhol Marilyn with my face on it. Can he charge me for it without copyright infringement ? Maybe nobody cares and no one is going to do anything about it but still, his style is specific right ? My face or my dog’s face makes the drawing completely different.
If AI is just « an other form of intelligence », why shouldn’t it be subjected to the same laws ?
If it’s just a tool and not an intelligence, why would openAI wouldn’t be subjected to the same rules ?
If all you do for a living is painting, if I wan’t a unique painting that fit your work style I have to ask you to do it. Now I can ask an AI to paint exactly that but you are not in the loop anymore but your work has been used to train this AI and no one will ever ask you to create art because they love your style and can have it for free.
I mean, I’m all in for free stuff and I’m not an artist but what does artists feel about it ?
You can generate whatever you want. If you want to sell it, then maybe it is a copyright violation. Maybe it isn’t. The point is that it does not matter that an AI tool made it or a human or a random falling of colored sand. Nobody is saying AI tool outputs are immune to copyright. What I am saying is that they are not intrinsically violations of copyright because training data.

That is deeply misleading. You are absolutely fine to ask another artist to create you a work in another artist’s style. The only difference here is cost and perhaps quality. Those are not problems with copyright.

Bad
Let’s say I generate a picture with the style of a famous artist and then use it in one of my marketing campaign. No one will be able to sue me ? You are 100% sure about it ? If so, then then could also sue the AI company also isn’t it ?
It seems like a total abolition of copyright otherwise
You can be sued for selling a copy or a substantially similar work of art. You can make this happen with AI tools.
It seems unlikely to me that someone could go after open AI if you use their tools to generate a copy right violation. But IANAL.
You don’t want Renoir suing Monet over who owns Impressionism.
That is very different from saying you cannot recreate his specific works.
Or do crappy Pop Art faux copies.
