Fair, I don't know what it's actually doing. I just know you can't equate it with anything a human does, and the use of the word "learn" is misleading, or vastly oversimplifies what is happening, to the point that it allows for false analogies.

That said, my main objection to this technology is that:

- The AI's work is based on human artists' work

- Companies are then profiting off of the AI's work

- The companies are indirectly?/directly? profiting off of artists' work

- The companies do not get artists consent or compensate them in any way

- The companies are essentially stealing from artists

Companies should be forced to obtain the creator's consent when using art to train their models.
