Without starting a war or anything like that, since it’s something i am trying to avoid for a long time.
But you say:
And yet, most of your generated images consist of already laid down models by other creators. After all, the AI is trained on those same models, available on the internet. So, if we are going into the rabbit hole, none of your models are unique in any way possible since they were recreated from other existing models. This is how LLM’s work. They get trained on available data.
You can ask, does he know what he’s talking about? And the answer is yes. I run not one but several local LLM’s and even a couple trained for me, with my data of interest. ComfyUI is very powerful and the data models can be trained on art only, there are lots of data models already available. I could explain how all of this works in detail, but… AI can teach you that too right?
Keeping the point of copyright, again, there is no copyright for AI generations. Period! Creating something in fusion taking inspiration from other designs is what makes a real creator, not the other way around.
And to finish it off, and to be honest, 99% of your “models” are not unique and they already exist and have existed before you tried to replicate it through your images. I could go way back in time to search for examples and post them here but it would be of no use because… no one creates what you create, from what you write every time.
Look, my coasters are really easy to make. There are tons of them already. Should i stop making them just because there are already similar models? No, of course not.
My keychain fidgets are pretty simple, yet there are lots of variations of mine already and i created mine from scratch way before. Should i go and report people who invest their time and even make better versions just because they got inspired by mine? No! This is what defined 3D printing and it still is what defines it. Real creators understand that. Do you?
You try and replicate from images. It’s ok, not everyone has their own ideas, i get it. Others try and improve already existing models and others even have their own ideas and put them into 3d models. It takes time, it’s work put into it… I like to make fun stuff or, like it happens a lot, i look at something in my garage and think “hey, i could do a model of X to hold that thing in place” and through iterations (yes, i do lots of prototyping so) and lots of fails and wasted filament, come up with a working model for my needs. No one will need what i created right?! But why not share it just in case? That’s what i do.
Either way, i am sick of this discussion, especially with you. I know, you post an image of all your likes and download count and wow, congrats! In the end, i make what makes me happy and you too, it seems. Let’s keep it this way as i already have said. After all, this topic is not about you, it’s about everyone that misuses AI as a whole.
Have a great day, like always
