alt Hacker NewsI don't really care how they like it because it's not up to them how I use the tools I want to use. It's literally the same argument photographers faced 100 years ago and in another 100 years I guarantee no one will be talking about AI in the terms you are today.

No one started photographing paintings and declaring them free to use. If they did the lawsuits would leave a huge impact crater.
Photography started displacing painting as a form of portraiture, but displacing a technique is not the same thing as appropriating the work itself.

Even today, in 2026, it is possible to use photography in ways that infringe copyright! You literally cannot just snap your shutter over anything whatsoever and call it yours!
