Is it wrong though? I won't buy digital art at all because it's too assisted already.
But if someone does buy it, isn't it on them?
I mean all the little errors all the mediocrity of it, why would any one pay for that?
Digital art is not any more assisted than digital writing, do you also refuse to buy ebooks?
I'm talking about the morality of it, whether someone pays for it or not is irrelevant. Child porn is morally wrong, regardless of there being a market for it.
Are you seriously going to use an absurdly extreme example for this discussion? It makes your argument pointless because it is an absurd example to compare this to.
It's the same argument you're making, that morality doesn't matter as long as there are paying customers, if morality doesn't matter because there are paying customers for AI stolen art, why does it matter for child pornography? Either morality matters or it doesn't.
No its not. Jaywalking is the same as murder right?
These things are miles apart.
And I don't believe in ownership of ideas so it can't be theft. Teaching a system of weights is not stealing. Sorry. Math is math.
The morality would be if they claimed to have drawn all of it without assistance. That is fraud, and lying to your customer is inmoral.
