Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski’s style against his wishes using a LoRA model. While some argue this is unethical, others justify it since Rutkowski’s art has already been widely used in Stable Diffusion 1.5. The debate highlights the blurry line between innovation and infringement in the emerging field of AI art.

    Wow… so in your mind there is basically no copyright and nobody owns anything. That is incredibly reductive and completely ignores centuries of legal precedence since the constitution was written.

    You are basically claiming that anything that is ever put on display anywhere, ever is public domain and that piracy doesn’t exist.

      No, I’m not claiming that and I have no idea how you’re managing to come to that conclusion from what I wrote. There’s no connection I can discern.

        Because it’s a required assumption to make anything you say on the subject make any sense. The fact that you deny that had convinced me that you’re just a troll.
