    Now imagine it’s not a magic box. Imagine it is a computer program, written with intent, that was intentionally fed copyrighted material so it could make those things people asked for.

    Giant companies operating outside the law at “the cost of doing business” built plagiarism machines off the life’s work of thousands of people so that horny weirdos could jerk it to Pikachu with tits.

      To be fair, a horny weirdo would still probably pay a human artist for a Pikachu with tits. Image generators probably wouldn’t get the nuance exactly right. An image generator is better for like, Azula getting her toes sucked by a Dai Li agent or something. Probably. I’m only speculating

        as a totally off-topic aside, I find that people tend to dislike AI in areas they are deeply familiar with.
