“Ai art is stolen!” … And other things I was afraid of | By Michael Lobby | July, 2025

  1. Perlod: Two artists move in a text box

For months I have seen AI boom from bleach – equal parts are attractive and panic.

Then I made some things in the pigeon, the explosion, and found out that the sky did not fall.

My friend Kai, a brilliant, neurodeversion artist and fellow creators who are with the opposition’s conversation style, just look at the apocalypse.

Kai: “Ai is an industrial scale theft … The creative class is designed to separate Corporate profits from its capabilities.”

Me: “Tell this thought – let’s open it.”

⸻ ⸻

2. The charging sheet of Kai

The main center of Kai’s critics, is in their own (edited) words:

1. “The artists are losing the clients to free the AI.”

2.

3. “There is no moral way to use the stolen tool.”

4. “It is flooding the world with garbage and creativity.”

⸻ ⸻

3. My counter -story: to fear of fear

I started where Kai is now – speed, ethics, worried about the job market.

Then I tried the tools. Instead of eliminating my deer, they:

4. Legal landscape (July 2025 Snap Shot)

• No court – to date – no court has ruled that training on publicly available data is just a copyright violation.

• The UK’s legislature against stability has left only its headline “training” claim. Only secondary issues remain.

• US judges recently supported Entropic and other AI firms, reinforcing that online content can be consumed under fair use.

• The wider battle of the get out of the Gaiti, and the artists’ class measures (eg, Anderson vs stability AI) are still alive-so the law is restless, but a slam is away from the “stolen” rhetoric.

5. Point by point rejected

Kai claim: Damage of clients = stolen

Checking reality: interruption ≠ theft. When photography emerged, portrait painters were released. There are many promoters. Markets are ready.

Kai’s claim: Scarchen is equivalent to theft

Checking Fact: Copyright Shields Expression, Not Expression Information. Creating a model reading pixels is legally equivalent to a student studying a gallery – change, not a duplicate.

Kai claim: No moral use

Checking reality: ethics ≠ binary. Artists now license their portfolios on closed weight models. Some firms pay royalty in every production. The choice is between “all or nothing”.

Claims of Kai: Floods Floods

Checking reality: The true-effort content is present everywhere. This is also true – good work increases, especially when a human being is.

⸻ ⸻

6. Why does the dialogue break

Kai has called me “Indicated NPC”. I face judicial decisions and life experience.

But under the rhetoric is fear: losing identity, income and creative sovereignty.

Tech talk existence cannot calm the fear – which contains sketch book jam on sympathy, time and perhaps coffee.

⸻ ⸻

7. Where I landed

AI is not a death sentence for artists. This is a power tool.

Power tools can make or make masterpieces. The result depends on:

1. Clear law (yes, we need it)

2. Artist Focus Business Model (License, Revenue Shares)

3. Creative is willing to experience instead of barracks

Until then, I will continue to use tech morally, transparently – and invite Kai (and you) to test, adapt, question, repeat.

“It is not theft to be influenced by public art. If it were, every art student in history would have been guilty.”

⸻ ⸻

8. Call for measuring curiosity

If you are auxy, try the tool before hitting.

If you are an AI observer, listen to people who feel dangerous. Just the facts will not eliminate the space.

In any way, pixels are out of the bag. Let’s paint wisely.

Are ideas, sources, or spicy deniers? Leave them in comments – only civil talks.

My nervous network and I are listening.
