    How is it theft? Who are they stealing from? It’s a workflow tool, right? So then using Photoshop is also theft.

      Photoshop wasn’t assembled/trained using art created by uncredited and unpaid artists

        All artists “train” on, and are influenced by, art created by other uncredited and unpaid artists. Art isn’t created in a vacuum, nothing is.

        Maybe not, but art students have always trained themselves based on others’ work. Go to any art museum and you’ll see students sketching the works there. How is a machine training itself on existing art different from a human doing the same? Should art students sitting at those exhibits pay a fee to the museum to sketch there?
