    Is it really a ‘move to allow’ style prompts? They’re just no longer preventing people from doing that.

    It’s weird that people who profess to be staunch defenders of art don’t understand that stealing styles is fundamental to art. If enough people steal a specific style then art history just labels it a ‘movement’. Look on this page: https://magazine.artland.com/art-movements-and-styles/ and you can see that the thing they’re describing is a lot of people copying the same style.

    Drum and Bass, a music genre, was essentially built on a “”“”“stolen”“”" clip from The Winstons in a song called Amen, Brother. The Amen break (you’ve certainly heard it even if you don’t know the name) is copied over and over and over.

    This is just the latest social media trend trying to shoehorn issues into the ‘AI-bad’ meme. Stealing styles is not unusual or even immoral. It is literally the foundation of art.

    This is just outrage farming, because 1. People are familiar with this style and 2. The primary artist who made the style popular is against AI.
