  • The whole “they need to get permission!” thing makes no sense. When I watch an MKBHD video I don’t need to get his permission to learn from him. I don’t need his permission to learn from his style. I don’t need permission from an artist to learn from their art style, their brush stroke technique, their colour science. I just look at it, watch it, read about it, and I learn. I can then use what I learned to make new stuff and there is nothing that they can, or should be able, to do about it.

    The same applies for AI. AI isn’t recreating the material that it is trained from - it’s “learning” from it. It doesn’t take the Mona Lisa as training material and then output the Mona Lisa.


  • It makes no sense not to. It’d be like artists not embracing using computers to animate their shows, sticking to hand drawing every single frame instead. It’d be like people not embracing cars, sticking to using horse and carriages.

    AI tools can be used to streamline processes and help make things faster and better. Anyone refusing to use them out of misguided principles or morals is going to get left behind. If I can make a cartoon in 25 minutes using AI tools while it takes you 25 days to make the same thing at the same or lower quality, I’m going to win.
