Yeah, you're really gonna see which companies are just gonna allow the AI to scrape all their stuff now. I'm a copyleft/creative commons kinda guy. But if you have art that you don't want stolen, the answer is simple.
MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE and put your art there (edit: and use that Glaze type of stuff on your art that wrecks AI, just to be sure)! Neocities is SO easy to set up! Or your own domain and hosting via porkbun, GoDaddy (non-WordPress) - anything at all other than proprietary/walled stuff!
Except this analogy doesn't really work because in #piracy, the small authors still get a chance at some compensation via recognition of their works. And as that work gets more known and popular outside of the artist's intended and known avenues, the losses they got from each unauthorized copy will get covered eventually by those who just have learned about their work and have the ability to pay for it. As well as those who pirated the work from years before (probably when they're still a kid who can't really pay) and now finally purchases a copy legally (e.g. they're now an adult and have a working credit/debit card)
You can't say the same of #AIart / #AIscraping which sucks off from tens of hundred thousands of artists, a lot of whom are probably not well-known to begin with and will not get any people interested in their works via your big #LLMs and #AI. :seija_coffee:
