Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt
decrypt.co

Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski's style against his wishes using a LoRA model. While some argue this is unethical, others justify it since Rutkowski's art has already been widely used in Stable Diffusion 1.5. The debate highlights the blurry line between innovation and infringement in the emerging field of AI art.

  1. How do you know human brains don't work in roughly the same way chatbots and image generators work?

  2. What is art? And what does it mean for it to become "lost"?

He literally just explained why.

No, he just said AI isn't like human brains because its a "statistical machine". What I'm asking is how he knows that human brains aren't statistical machines?

Human brains aren't that good at direct math calculation either!

Also he definitely didn't explain what "lost art" is.
