Actually AI makes it easier to create something more ethically than if you had planned to trace art, sample music, or copy-paste text. It’s invalidated art theft as excusable option to even the laziest ‘artist’.
Back in the day, Twilight art with wings was spammed with bad comments. And then later any Flash Sentry image was spammed with bad comments. Despite how this fandom has matured, it seems like things are worse than both those times. Can the AI hate be over already? It’s just another embarassing bit of drama.
It “copies” the way I would if I were tracing an instance of the originals. Sampling a loop of music or quoting from written pieces are acceptable with attribution, and if done in the service of presenting a new idea. But A.I. “art” can’t do the former and is only part of the latter if substantially re-edited with the new idea in mind. Alcor has done the latter here but crediting his sources is still impossible.

It’s not as if the AI is literally copying the art itself. It “copies” art in the same way you do any time you look at another’s work.

Good thing you don’t need permission to use data like that. Don’t listen to this silly filly, really you just have to practice with the AI to get good at learning to create the right prompts which result in the best looking stuff and iterate on things (because the AI isn’t going to just generate masterpieces without a decent bit of refinement).
For the most part I would avoid it. I don’t know of any AI modeler that has an ethically sourced dataset: they all scraped huge swaths of the Internet without any regard for artists’ permissions, meaning they all use people’s work without their consent and without licensing or payment.
