Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt (decrypt.co)

Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski's style against his wishes using a LoRA model. While some argue this is unethical, others justify it since Rutkowski's art has already been widely used in Stable Diffusion 1.5. The debate highlights the blurry line between innovation and infringement in the emerging field of AI art.

The copyright argument is a bad argument against AI art. But there are also good arguments against it.

This person has no idea what machine learning actually is. And they hate such a generic concept on a "gut feeling" and come up with the reasons later?

If you want good reasons to hate AI generated art you won't find them in this shitty blogpost.

Apparently your comment really got to them, because the blogpost now contains a direct quote of you and a response.

Someone I don’t get along with very well wrote:

Hahaha yikes. Pretty cowardly to post their unhinged response on their blog where nobody can actually respond.

Also, why the hell would this person who hates the very general concept of machine learning (because of their gut lol) get a degree in a field that significantly utilizes machine learning? Computational linguistics is essentially driven by machine learning, so that's uh... probably bullshit.
