This is so disgusting. I absolutely despise AI, and this is just awful. No, you should not get protection. You have every capability to make art without AI, and yet you still do. Artists should absolutely be allowed to do this, because to use gen AI, and make it work, art work has to be used, and scraped offline, almost always without permission, consent, or credit, and fed into a machine, that uses that artwork, and copies it, to get the end result. Art is being scraped, stolen, fed into machines, and used without consent. Art is protected by copyright the moment it is made, but AI, being made from several stolen pieces, should absolutely not have any protection. COME AND FIGHT ME ON THIS ONE.
Expression is sacred. But not when made with a machine that doesn't understand why it's sacred. AI IS NOT IMAGINATION, AI IS NOT ART, AI IS NOT REAL
