Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists' work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn't steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here's a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user 'Professional hog groomer' talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356

I mean that's just Jevons Paradox, it's not really AI specific problem.

Yes, but it still can be applied to AI

My point is that even if AI art was magically banned tomorrow, the energy demand isn't going to drop as a result. Instead, we'll just start using energy for something else. That's a feature of how our civilization functions.
