the big discussion amongst arts guys right now (iirc) is that because LLMs have the entirety of the Internet to look at for AI generation, there's no way of knowing if the piece of art that the AI uses and manipulates to create their own art has been approved for such use by their original creators. it's kinda like Topher Grace re-cutting Star Wars - the reason his edits aren't public is because the original source material wasnt made open to him for use. so while AI is creating stuff out of other people's stuff - have the other people said "yeah go ahead and do it"?
