A lot of my thoughts on the AI art arguments are just “this would be equally true as an argument against photography,” “that would be equally true as an argument against photography,” “here’s this other thing that would be equally true as an argument against photography.”

The exception is the plagiarism argument, but I don’t know how to respond to that beyond “Wow, you and I have very different ideas of what plagiarism is.”

Honestly, the whole thing makes me pretty angry. “I don’t want to use this tool for creating art” is one thing, but “I don’t want anyone to be allowed to use this tool for creating art” is a very different thing.
