    That’s only because I thought your last sentence was the biggest difference – everything else is all stuff you did (or theoretically would do), which is the clincher.

    (And besides, on Lemmy, comments with effort are sometimes disincentivized 😉)

    Art can include buying a toilet and turning it on its side and calling it a fountain. And I imagine, in your scenario, that you could process an entire comic book by flipping just one pixel on each page, print it out, arrange it in a massive mural, and get it featured in the Louvre with the title “is this fair use?” But if you started printing out comic books en masse with the intent to simply resell them in their slightly changed form, you might get in trouble, and probably rightly so. But that’s a question of fair use, isn’t it?

      Fair on all counts. I guess my counter then would be, what is AI art other than running a bunch of pieces of other art through a computer system, then adding some “stuff you did” (to use your phrase) via a prompt, and then submitting the output as your own art.

      That’s nearly identical to my fractal example, which I think you’re saying would actually be fair use?
