@rdonoghue A pox on people who remove the credit from an image.
🇳🇱
I can half understand not going out of your way to add credit... but to go out of your way to remove it, like why?
@freemo @TabletopBellhop I feel like if I really understood that, I would be a much richer (but much sadder) person.
Yes, I get not taking time to do some research to find a source, etc. But taking extra time to remove that info is just evil.
Agreed, evil with no real motivation, at least most forms of evil is motivated by at least greed lol.
@freemo @TabletopBellhop @rdonoghue I'm guessing it's done to "passively" be given credit for creating it. Same as those who copy funny Xits or Facebook posts verbatim without accreditation. Very odd.
@GlasWolf @TabletopBellhop @rdonoghue
Most cases i see are facebook groups where that wouldnt fully track. Maybe
On the one hand I do agree there is some similarity in the moral issue here as both AI based art and straight up stealing credit raises an issue about theft and copyright that has some clear overlap.
That said I would not say that people who are all in on AI, particularly outside of the scope of art, are in the same boat as credit theifs. There is clearly some gray area open to opinion as to whether it is theft at all, and even if you think it is its undeniably far more a gray area than direct theft and under some forms of reasoning isnt theft at all.
@freemo @GlasWolf @TabletopBellhop @rdonoghue
I feel like there's nontrivial overlap with the people who intentionally trim credit and the people who are all in on AI.
Look, someone else said it better than I did, but, I can do it ALMOST as well, so I might as well just pretend I came up with it, because in my mind that almost...well, it's like that meme with the 'I made this', really.

I'm not great about making sure I hunt down original credit, I should be better.
