The problem is that AI image models aren’t dynamic like that. The AI groups already successfully pulled off the heist of the internet and went home with their image data sets with billions of images. The infinitely expanding google images AI slop isn’t getting fed back into the model the same way Chat GPT is auto-lobotimizing itself by looking up autogenerated articles on the web.
In fact, at the moment newer AI image models are being refined not by being fed more images but by going back and adding more refined captions to their existing hoard, since the more descriptive the captions the more capable the resulting model tends to be. But hey, they’re generating most of the captions with Chat GPT and at least that’s fucking them over a bit I guess
OK so my analogy isn’t good either. It’s enshittification of the entire Internet (and soon nearly all aspects of life) based off of the free labor and collective cultural output of humanity without any democratic oversight.
the best comparison is some kind of pollution, which is fun because they also do a bunch of gratuitous regular pollution. The problem, as usual, isn’t the tech or that they used muh intellectual property as inputs, it’s the private ownership and disenfranchisement of the worker.

hexbear don’t uphold capitalist IP concepts challenge: impossible
Fine, they pulled off the enclosure of the century. Collecting all of digital culture, privatizing it, and mostly making us all worse off.
copying the commons doesn’t enclose the commons

yes.
