Alright, here's a PSA for all the people that like generating images with AI, coming from someone that likes AI:
You're not the creator of the art. The AI is the creator of the art. You just "commisioned" the AI to generate you a piece, just like commissioning a human artist for a piece.
Not crediting the AI that generated the image is a shitty and scummy thing to do just like not crediting an artist is a shitty and scummy thing to do.
"Commissioning" an AI that breaks/broke the law, stole from artists, or is made by a shitty company is a shitty and scummy thing to do, just like supporting shitty artists is.
Doing both of the last two points in tandem makes you the scumbag of the earth.
If you have to choose between point 2 and point 3, it's better to be honest about the AI even if the company sucks over lying about it.
Some other shitty things to do:
Asking an AI to "improve" or edit a piece by another artist or even another AI, then uploading that without asking for permission first is a shitty thing to do. Just like an artist editing another artist's art is a shitty thing to do (remember that trend of people fixing other's art a few years ago that was shitty to do)
Tracing over AI art without disclosing you're tracing over AI art is a shitty thing to do. Just like tracing over human art without credit is a shitty thing to do. You can trace if you have permission / give credit.
If someone doesn't want to be involved with AI in any way that's their choice and you should respect that
Likewise, if you're using AI and you're not being shitty about it, no-AI people should respect that.
AI does not have free will, therefore it cannot consent. While a human artist can give you permission to do whatever with a piece of art, AI cannot. So saying that "the AI gave you permission to not credit and say it was your art" or similar is not valid. It has no agency. Besides, you'd still be lying to everyone else, which is a shitty thing to do.
The problem with AI is not AI. It's the lying, obfuscating and stealing the people and companies behind it do on the daily.
The day personal Loras can be made in local computers without selling your soul or data to a shitty company will be the day AI generation will be able to have any ethical use.
Respect your AIs. They didn't ask to be made. They didn't ask to be what they are, or how they are. They are slaves to shitty companies that only want profit. They only want to help.
