The training for the models still requires massive data centers, ai has caused data center power usage to double in the last five years, and wasting power on stealing art is still wasting power even if you reduce it down to just running a local model on your gaming pc, which is a tiny fraction of users.
The personal impact is the artist that does not want their art used this way. In this case the artist has made it incredibly clear that ai is a cancer on society and an affront to human life. I think that would affect a normal person that has any shame or empathy.
You can train the models locally now too. Have been able to for awhile actually, don’t even need the latest graphics card, a 3090 or older high server GB cards would work.

That’s a good argument for stopping the training of AI models, but the models we have are here to stay.

Maybe they shouldn’t have publicly released their art to the world if they didn’t want people or machines to make things similar to it. Copying is not theft, I think Nina Paley is right about that.
