I definitely can understand an artist's desire to not have their work used for AI model training. But at the same time, can any artists understand the idea of someone who has severely impaired visualizing ability, and possibly impaired drawing ability, using an AI model to prototype ideas to then use as references for an artist to draw an idea in their style? Possibly to ask them to give it their own inspired poses instead of whatever the AI came up with, but either way, asking an artist to render it for money?

I really only consider AI use for inspiration, I think it's really rude to actually sell AI output. Well, maybe other than paying for the compute cycles to run the model. The cost of training a model should also include the cost of the material that was used to train the model, but we all know that big businesses will never go for that, and small timers who can afford compute cycles to train models probably already can barely afford the compute time needed for the training, much less paying every artist to use their work. And then, those personal models are probably not being widely used like big business models are.

Sorry for the dump, I just think these mathematical models can be interesting toys, I just think it's unfair when they're being used to replace already underpaid artists. I would hope that artists don't mind if the people using them are just using them for toys, or inspiration for paid work.
