No to AI Art based on theft of Copyrighted Material

Copyrighted artwork, getting stolen and used without consent should be regarded as a severe infringement on copyright. Artstation, if you truly care about copyright, you should ban imagery from AI models that use datasets based on stolen, non-consentially used, copyrighted artwork and imagery. Stealing for ""research"" is still stealing!

I honestly think AI tools will play a big role in our future, however we need to find an ethical way to train them. Avoiding theft and copyright infringement is one part of this.
