Very well written, thank you! All of the writing about AI-generated art that I’ve stumbled across has been either one-sentence talking points (e.g. “it’s stealing art without artists’ permission” or “training an AI model is just like a human looking at past art”) or hedgy arguments from news articles (“some artists are concerned that...”).
It’s refreshing to see a serious, grounded look at the ethics of AI art. I was thinking about writing my own post along the same vein, but this covers most of what I would have touched on (and more).
