Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski's style against his wishes using a LoRA model. While some argue this is unethical, others justify it since Rutkowski's art has already been widely used in Stable Diffusion 1.5. The debate highlights the blurry line between innovation and infringement in the emerging field of AI art.

Well said. Copyright is whatever, but the disrespect shown here is remarkable.

Yeah, all these people yelling about how people who use AI art generators are "thieves" who are "stealing" art and that the things they generate are "not really art" and so forth. Very disrespectful.
