Ok Mr Shapiro.

No, no they’re not.

Can you reply in some manner that’s close to the conversation we were having?

Sure, the kakistocracy of the US can be called an oppressive democracy since only the rich vote on legislation, but that’s different from the peoples parliament which allows anyone to join and have power.

…given China is an open socialist democracy, no, no you can’t.

Anyone can run for office, anyone can get power.

No, no it’s not.

You cannot be on the side of the people of China, and claim China has an oppressive government.

Whyd you use a Chinese website instead of just running the model, which does not output that for that question?

The model has no censorship. Some websites running the model are hosted in China and thus do. Use one of the thousands of instances that run out of the US or run it yourself. It’s not like chatgpt or other openai trash, it’s system requirements are pretty low.

It’s not solely about pay, but also what your work is used for. It makes sense you don’t understand this if you’ve never created anything, artwise or otherwise. If I draw a picture I control who displays that picture and for what purpose. If someone I don’t like uses that picture without permission it reflects poorly on me, and destroys my rights.

The easy example is an art piece by a Holocaust survivor being used by a neonazi without permission.

Now imagine you steal tens of millions of artists work. You know for a fact you don’t have the licenses needed to ensure their work is used to their liking.

Yes, just because you disagree that your new toy is literally theft and is one of the most irresponsible inventions since leaded gasoline, that doesn’t change anything.

Sorry you’re the type of person that added lead shot to your gas tank after they banned leaded gasoline.

Normalizing is a thing, on top of that there are still indie markets that can be supplanted by gan image generation. On top of that artists still have rights to their work, if they didn’t explicitly license their works for the model, it’s theft that removes the value of the original.

There’s a pretty clear difference in the two. If piracy ended in a new digital good that removes the market for the original good while eliminating the jobs of those that made the original good, then it’d be close. Even then pretty much everyone agrees not all piracy is the same; you wouldn’t pirate an indie game that hasn’t sold well unless you’re an absolute piece of subhuman shit.

It’s still stolen content. Regardless of any other issues, it’s 100% stolen content.
