Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

Yes, but it still can be applied to AI

My point is that even if AI art was magically banned tomorrow, the energy demand isn't going to drop as a result. Instead, we'll just start using energy for something else. That's a feature of how our civilization functions.
