According to a recent tweet shared by AI enthusiast Nick St. Pierre, the alleged theft occurred last Saturday. It is claimed that employees from Stability AI infiltrated Midjourney’s database and stole all prompt and image pairs, an action that also caused a 24-hour outage. In response, MJ reportedly banned all Stable Diffusion developers from its services, a move supposedly disclosed internally within the company on Wednesday.

    I don’t know what part of my answer full of contempt made you think that I am open to the standard tech bro babble?

    I think you are disgusting people and charlatans desperately trying to pretend that you know what art is. Is that a clearer response for you. The first response was a bit too creative so I understand why you wouldn’t understand it.

      I understood you just fine. What you don’t seem to understand is that art depends not on the medium but the creator. Where do you draw the line? If I throw a sculpt of mine not into SDXL but Cycles to render, does it suddenly become art? Or is it still not art because I’m not using a paintbrush, hell I’m not doing a single bit of shading? Do I need to work with actual clay? That clay also has an undo button (of sorts). Does only marble count? What’s your standard? Can you articulate it?

      The vast bulk of AI pictures out there are bland and uninspired because it’s not artists who hit the generate button. It’s as simple as that. There’s also plenty of bland and uninspired oil on canvas out there – not as large a proportion because the craft is not easy to pick up while staying completely artistically illiterate, but it’s still there because artistic expression is not the only reason why people paint. And that’s fine. And so is randos typing “big tiddies” into a prompt box and hitting generate. Noone claims that’s art, but at the utmost that it looks nice.

        You are in no way different from the people typing “big tiddies” into a prompt box and hitting generate. You only sound slightly more intelligent to the other cold husks but to us standing by the bonfire, you look exactly the same. I actually respect the titty people more because they know what they are and dont pretend to care.
