No DeviantArt, Shutterstock, instagram and company are the juggernauts. Artists already gave it all away.
There isn’t a scenario where individual artists get a piece of that money. Legislation, if it comes, will protect data aggregators, record companies and Hollywood, with the aim of killing open source.
Google paid 60$ million for Reddit’s data and I still haven’t received my dollar. Google would also love it if training a model costs so much only they could afford to build one.

So it’s okay to steal their work for AI and commercial profit because they posted it on the internet?

I’m saying they stopped owning it the moment they put it on the big websites and signed away their work by clicking the box at the end of the ToS.
I see two choices:
Scrapping isn’t considered theft and we all get easy access to these new tools.
It’s considered theft and the new tools end up behind censored subscription models while shutter stock makes a shit load of money.
Paying every artists what they are worth is a logistical nightmare because of the amount of data needed. It simply won’t happen and isn’t a realistic scenario. It sucks but sticking your head in the sand and giving a soft monopoly to google and openai doesn’t help anyone but google and openai.

I understand what you are saying, but it also assumes surrendering to AI. Many of us are planning to avoid, boycott, and fight that slop to our dying breath. AI needs to be unpopular and unprofitable. The technology isn’t going to disappear, but we can make sure it’s not socially acceptable to steal from or replace humans with expensive, inefficient, misanthropic, planet-killing software and hardware.

I hope your boss won’t pay you, because that honestly sounds like a logistical nightmare! They’d need like specialized employees and stuff to pay people! Craaazy!
