Cool, another preachy argument that jumps to irrational conclusions. Because Ghibli?

It is a display of power: You as an artist, an animator, an illustrator, a writer, any creative person are powerless. We will take what we want and do what we want. Because we can.

Uh…we always could & did. Imitators have been doing that since always, long before LLMs. No one owns an art style.

This is the idea of might makes right. The banner that every totalitarian and fascist government rallied under.

That's the argument? Plagiarism & imitating art styles is fascism? Wow! The rest of the article is worse.

Please make the word fascism more meaningless.

Fill me in a bit. Are you under the impression that artists are particularly okay with/enjoy people imitating their art style?

As an artist, when people imitate me, I take it as flattery.

When a machine imitates me, I take it as an insult to life itself.

This is an absolutely rational take.

Individual, noncommercial imitation is flattery.

LLM ripoff is exactly that.
