Bro i dont care, stop making art if you dont enjoy it, im screenshotting funny pictures and sharing while i poop it's not that serious. Artists are supposed to make art because they feel they have to, not because they want everyone to know their name.

Brother it's digital data it's not stealing it's copying they don't lose the piece of art they made when i copy and send it to a cousin for shits and gigs

I mean I can't wait for the paintings in 100 years to be AI generated with the person who wrote the prompt having their snap chat qr Code or tiktok handle in the corner.

There was enough art to last anyone a thousand lifetimes before any of us were born, nobody is doing the world a favor by not getting a real job and sitting at home making art

Wow. Gatekeeping art? Go fuck yourself

What are you talking about? No one's worried about you copying stuff. Have you not been paying attention to anything in this thread? The contention here is people editing the art to remove the artist signature. You're altering the art to take away their name, you'd be stealing it at that point. You do that you're a piece of shit. Is that what you are arguing for or not? If not I'm not sure what you're arguing for here.

Getting a job doing what? We already have way more than enough people for just about everything. What I want to see more of is art.

Yes, that's what im arguing for, im gonna crop whatever i want and send it to people and it doesn't hurt anybody and you can cry about it all you want. If you love an artist you can go to their website and buy something from them nobody is stopping you and that helps the artist way more than making sure you include their signature in a screenshot

Then you can buy the art nobody is stopping you, not anyone else's problem if an artist makes art nobody wants to buy and they need to get a job instead

We need to normalize shaming people for casually sharing stolen art. This includes people sharing things they "made" with AI.

I think of it this way, if I publish a work of art I make, if you share it in a way I did not want but still link back to me as the artist, it is going to be really hard for me to be upset with you because even if you stole the art from me you have brought my art to more people's attention so the impact cannot be seen as purely bad.

Which doesn't make it right, I am not advocating for stealing art from artists, I am trying to emphasize that if your attentions are good, when in doubt link to the artist. I mean... why not?

edit also keep in mind that most actually decent ways of identifying how relevant a website is from the perspective of a search engine is how many unique places that are linked to from that website that people also find useful. I think this is a useful rough measurement of relevance and thus in a structural sense the more you link to genuinely relevant and interesting things, the more connected the entire community becomes in a generative way.

Take for example Metafilter, one of the ways you can quantify that Metafilter is an interesting and unique website to read is the degree of interesting and unique links that are placed into context in interesting ways there.

Oh wow. That's so brain-dead that it's hard to believe it's not satire

Edit: thanks for giving context

sorry english is not my first language. What is the difference? Attribution and citing is both giving who made it or is it not?

It's soo weird, right? Like...what an utterly mad hill to die on. It's really not a difficult or unreasonable request.

You are correct.

The post is pointing out the difference between attribution and advertisement.
