I think people are missing the bigger picture here. We're approaching a point where AI might not be feasible because of privacy concerns and copyright infringement. Midjourney is scraping art from millions of artists without their permission or knowledge.
If I look at 12 van goghs (or any artist) painting and tried to make something in a similar style do i need permission? I don't see why how the AI learns is relevent. As long as the creation in the end is original.
You are not allowed to use any media commercially for free, why would that be different for an AI?
Because they're not using it. They're generating something original. It's not a copy paste job. You imagine ai art is like a ransom note or a collage. It's more like reading a text book on drawing and then creating that drawing.
