I already muted the guy who prompted this reply over there, but cross posting this because realizing maybe I need to be more direct https://twitter.com/lifewinning/status/1615349937310400515
Freelance artists posting work online as a part of making a living aren't getting billions of dollars of investment from Microsoft to produce work. OpenAI is. None of those billions of dollars are going back to artists, who *will likely have less work bc of these tools.*

I kind of left behind musing on influence and creativity and attribution after my freshman year of art school, but I realize that most of the people raising these questions are probably encountering them for the first time and think they are Very Interesting.
