Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can't prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on

I think a lot of people who want Stable Diffusion AI art to be legally gone here dont understand the implications of what they want.

Midjourney, NovelAI etc. all rely on Stable Diffusion, which is open source, able to be run on your PC for free, and is currently being attacked for copyright. I understand your sentiment against AI art, but no one can make the technology illegal. They can at most make SD illegal since the data it was trained on was copyrighted.

Do you know what will happen if SD becomes illegal to commercially use? Other proprietary AIs will pop up using the exact same tech, but this time with worse and worse monetization, not to mention censorship.

Photoshop already uses diffusion tech now with Adobe firefly. The tech is here to stay, I just hope it stays open source.

For good work, AI art can at most help the artist, not replace them. It is now up in the air not whether AI art will gone, but rather, whether we can download our AI for free or have to rely on shit like Adobe training with the "correct" rights. You can be sure that studios etc. won't be training their own, since training the AI from scratch takes billions (?) Of images (might be millions, dont remember but either way its infeisable)

EDIT: The largest problem is ofc the people whose art was trained on. It's a tough situation, but I don't think killing open source is the fix. I do, however, think that the artists do deserve some kind of compensation. If there was not so much hostility, maybe some kind of donation system to slowly repay the artists could be created? I'd honestly donate myself. The tech is theirs to use for free too, instead of getting paid 100$ or something from Adobe only to pay them back over the years to use their models.

Seems like sensibly covering their asses given that it's still legally grey (read: noone has brought a significant enough court case) so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more opinions like this start to pop up from various big media hosts.

this is VERY good to hear, honestly

a lot of AI's are training on seemingly random info that belongs to various people.

not just images, but books, movies etc.
