    I think you are wrong.

    Stealing requires depriving someone of their property.

    If my daughter draws a character from Totoro she has done nothing wrong. She has not stolen anything. If my daughter draws a new character in the style of Totoro she has also not stolen anything.

    What you are talking about is copyright infringement.

    Let me ask you this. If OP was replaced by an artist from India who works for 1/10 the price would this all be suddenly okay?

    No, it would not be. The problem this person is complaining about is not about AI. It is a much bigger problem that both of you fail to recognize.

      I think you are wrong.

      Those things might not be a problem for you. But they are for hundreds, thousands or millions of other people.

            Mate, I already explained it is not stealing. When I said I think you are wrong about the definition of stealing I was being generous.

            The definition of stealing is literally depriving someone else of property. This does not happen in copyright cases which are a civil matter rather than criminal matter.

            The OP is also wrong for the reasons I already pointed out. Those being that the reason they are losing their job is not because of AI but because they work for a shitty capitalist corporation.

            As I alluded if his job would have been replaced by a foreigner who was paid far less he would also not be okay with it and his comic would likely look very racist.

            This is because the problem is not AI in this situation. Do you have an opinion on this?

                  I’m just not interested in your bad faith argument. It sounds like you think AI is good. It isn’t, for every reason in the original post and more.

                  That’s the end of it pretty much. This is a bad technology that is party of the way humanity keeps trying to destroy ourselves. Nothing that you love about AI changes that.

                  No more. Bye.
