Just realized how many artists never consented to their work being in AI datasets.
Feels wrong that artists' work trains AI without their say.

Mark Ward is right about the missing opt-out. If a website has to ask before tracking my clicks, why is it fine to take an artist's whole portfolio without asking? The law already makes a difference for one kind of digital use but ignores the other. Does that double standard mean we just accept it, or is it proof we could actually change it?

Remember how you can opt-out of some data collection (like with cookies)? Artists don't even get that choice with AI datasets. It's like their work is just free material now.

Wait but isn't that just how the internet has always worked? Idk, scraping stuff feels different than straight up stealing a painting to me. Maybe it's just me but it seems like a tech thing, not a personal attack.

Funny how the cookie opt-out is a legal thing but dataset scraping isn't. Do you think making it a similar legal issue would actually fix it, or is it just too different?
