"assum­ing nom­i­nal dam­ages of $1 per image" that's quite an assumption lol.

To quote "You can't put the genie back in the bottle"

And unless I start to see some evidence that this is theft, by an identical piece in a collage being "created" by AI (impossible I think) - then I have ZERO time to consider how they are being stolen or thinking of compensation ideas.

I say this with an arts degree - it sucks for struggling artists, but I only find it nominally sad that a bunch of people are gunna be out of work making Art for the McCorpos -

If you are one of those artists then i'm sorry if I sound flippant or cruel about this, but you can adapt or you will die. Not literally, of course.

But real artists know its the message not the medium - and they aren't in danger of dying off. They adapt.

the funny part is these tools are inspiring new creativity and mediums. someone made a 3d game using ai generated images. it was a lot of work to combine and put together, it only saved on the drawing. this is opening new doors for artists. but ya, they'll need to adapt.

maybe an even worse analogy, but i stopped using Photoshop when css got good. no need to make images for rounded corners. no need for me to pay adobe. but no one is suing css.

Wordpress was the worst. It put millions of web devs out of work. Why was there no class action suit? /s
