Because ChatGPT is trained on stolen data and using it for any reason is participating in that theft while simultaneously causing a significant impact to the environment.
So I guess your right; it has no bearing on whether you're an artist or not, but whether you're a decent person. Thanks for clearing that up.
Now what if you used an ai trained on uncopyrighted, public data, and made sure that the computers training it were using solar power or some environmentally friendly energy source?
Let me know when this happens then I'll answer.
But you see my point, right? There is a point at which this stuff isn't actually that bad.
It has the potential to be useful, yes. It isn't currently and the path we're on with it is already irredeemable.
