The plagiarism machine vomits out the visual equivalent of text prediction. It isn’t an artist any more than the text prediction on your phone is an author if you hit the next predicted word enough times, people are artists and authors. Image generation is at best a Xerox machine.
Yeah well that's just like, your opinion, man.
Yeah, it’s based on knowing the difference between a tool and a human being 👍
I know plenty of human beings who are tools
And why is that different from a human? Explain in physical, measurable terms.
Give we don't know how our own brains work, I don't think you can.
And if you cannot, you have to use the things that are measurable, which are external.
If I were asked by a person to draw me a fluffy trex, first thing I'm gonna do is go look at pictures of trex and pictures of other dinos with feathers, maybe some fluffy birds.
And then I'm gonna plagiarize, because art is theft.
Tdlr: get off your high horse
