AI doesn't "learn" anything, it's not even intelligent. If you show a human artwork of a person they'll be able to recognize that they're looking at a human, how their limbs and expression works, what they're wearing, the materials, how gravity should affect it all, etc. AI doesn't and can't know any of that, it just predicts how things should look based on images that have been put in it's database. It's a fancy Xerox.
Why do people who have no idea how some thing works feel the urge to comment on its working? It's not just AI, it's pretty much everything.
AI does learn, that's the whole shtick and that's why it's so good at stuff computers used to suck at. AI is pretty much just a buzzword, the correct abbreviation is ML which stands for Machine Learning - it's even in the name.
AI also recognizes it looks at a human! It can also recognize what they're wearing, the material. AI is also better in many, many things than humans are. It also sucks compared to humans in many other things.
No images are in its database, you fancy Xerox.
And I wish that people who didn't understand the need for the human element in creative endeavours would focus their energy on automating things that should be automated, like busywork, and dangerous jobs.
If the prediction model actually "learned" anything, they wouldn't have needed to add the artist's work back after removing it. They had to, because it doesn't learn anything, it copies the data it's been fed.
Just because you repeat the same thing over and over it doesn't become truth. You should be the one to learn, before you talk. This conversation is over for me, I'm not paid to convince people who behave like children of how things they're scared of work.
