I would hardly call my use of AI in this comment section "innocent"; I was clearly using it to dunk on it (and also Green Reaper). That is kind of a dick move.
But, frankly, I've already bent over backwards to say "it can be used innocently", so I don't know why you think "but what if it's used innocently?" is such a gotcha (let's say, diplomatically, I have ... theories). Furthermore, your odd insistence about "copyright" reminds me of why I thought you were Diamond Man; I don't give a shit about copyright infringement. My concerns are ethical, not legal. Like, I've seen arguments that Lauren Faust and MLP:FiM were hurt by bronies this comment section, and I'm sorry, but what? Meanwhile, AI is sold as a traditional art "killer". I mean, I'm not really sold on this; even if AI was half as good as they say it was (and it's not!), painting and drawing survived the invention of photography, so it will probably survive AI.
But you're taking the side of a bunch of tech bros who think they can steal art and then use that stolen art to kill art. Also, and I'm sorry, this is a cheap shot but I've never been above cheap shots, it's kind of telling that Flayrah's biggest defender of AI is also the guy who repeatedly defends bestiality and pedophilia. The fact is, him defending AI is consistent, ethically, with those issues.
Now, I have no illusions the pro-AI will stop using the "whataboutism" of "but fan art!" but the truth of the matter nobody gives a shit, because it's just not a compelling argument.
