Well is it thinking or is it looking at every image of Vermont and then making a new one out of that?

Your theory is exactly how these art ai work. They pull art from other sources and smoosh them together into a new images

That’s part of the reason why AI art can be bad: it can steal faces, paintings, photos that don’t belong to it and make something new from those things.

I absolutely believe it's a tool and its value is undermined by grifters & theft. We should do our due diligence to call that out, and not waste time arguing over the subjectivity of what is or isn't art

To be honest and fair, I don't really know the math of it.

Me neither but I think your guess about it uploading every image of Vermont it can find and then making a new image out of a mix of those is probably barking up the right tree.

That's the best way I can describe it but it is definitely more complex than that, to the point where it isn't always simply theft.

It’s almost always theft. An AI can only be programmed to the limits of the human mind. It’s much easier for the AI to cobble an image together (stealing) than it is to code the AI to make something completely original and new.

If it has access to every image on the internet from a free or for sale page to the entire library of Congress, I don't think it's inherently a tool of thievery.

I also cobble images together with images I didn't make. It's called a collage.
