So how would anyone benefit from their creativity? I certainly wouldn't invent anything if I knew some big company could just steal it.
I assume this is referring to art but if not then disregard this. Yes, there's countless tutorials provided by artists. There's free videos online. Tumblr is a great place to learn drawing. The reason not to steal from artists through AI is for same reason I don’t want to use apple or windows, google. It’s corrupt at its core. It contributes to hurting and screwing over people. Buying art from artists or even just downloading another artist’s work supports another human because even if you didn’t buy it, people will still inevitably want to know the artist. Ideally, a person should buy the work from the artist, the same way if you go to a farmer's market, you should pay the vendor for the veggies they grew. But even if you steal or pirate art from someone, someone will want to know who made it.
Opensource and art are not so unalike. from my clueless but learning tech newb pov, linux users or any non corporate tech user is doing everything from scratch. The command terminal is their sketchbook.
