Sure they are! Should I not make and sell art as a human because I would risk this?

I think I see the disconnect here. I don't feel that the art/work in question has to be in the public domain to be fair game for inspiration. It is the artists choice how they want to distribute their material. I see no need to differentiate between human inspiration and AI inspiration.

If an artist wanted to prevent either humans or AI from being inspired without paying them, they should put their content behind a paywall.

I feel that copyright should apply to copying material, not learning from it to make your own. In reality the law does allow for you to file for infringement just based on the work being similar, regardless of if the person being accused of infringement has ever even witnessed the source material. I see this as just fundamental flaw in the system, that has existed before AI ever came about.

I don't agree there Cosmic. Take music for instance, a lot of artist inspiration comes from what they listened to on the Radio. I know very few artists that have called up all of the bands they listened to on the radio to get permission to make their own work.

If you make your music free to listen to in any way that opens you up to others being inspired by you.

To add to that, I consider this to be unintentional plagiarism. As someone who is about to finish a Masters degree it is no mystery that two humans can come up with the same thing. This can constitute copyright infringement, but it is far from theft.

The person that created the content does, but there is nothing wrong with basing your work on things other people have made, that you have witnessed.

With something like GPT sure it happens, but humans also do this when writing all the time.

Many are spreading misinformation that Generative AI art is akin to copyright infringement. While this is still being disputed legally, the technical answer is no. AI works much like the creative part of our brain, getting ideas from things it has witnessed, and creating works of it's own based on that.

Hey that's about what most engineers graduating from college get. And they won't be able to do sponsorships and ad deals. I would say $76k is a much more appropriate salary to start with than what the men make in basketball. That is just crazy
