@davidrevoy that's not my intention. I'm not equating those. People are conscious, emotional beings, while AI currently are not. There may be ethical issues w/scraping publicly posted data but that's a separate issue from what I was saying. That said, people can view the images, do analysis and use it for inspiration, so why can't AI?

The real problem as I see it is that it lowers the value of such work. That is an unfortunate downside but it's often the cost of progress from new tech.
