@pettter @whvholst @rysiek Again, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney etc. generate *original* images. They don't copy anyone in particular, they have instead developed a 'feel' for what various elements look like when rendered in particular styles, and you can endlessly 'reroll' a particular image to get the AI to give you any number of creative variations and reinterpretations of your prompt. It is, in a sense, creative. The other day I got Midjourney to render me a man whose skin was made of savoy cabbage. The (bizarre!) result was something it's doubtful any human has ever drawn/painted. The image is shared on my TL, somewhere.

In my view the human brain is nothing more than an elaborate machine, so if AI is plagiarizing, then so is every human artist on Earth.
