It wasn’t available, generated images are stolen images.
Intellectual Property is not a consideration for anarchists. Maybe it is for liberals but anarchists do not often suffer from liberal thoughts. If we do we work to improve ourselves and stop having them.

There is nothing capitalist about rolling your own models which is what we do here, but hey. You just gave a great example of how anti-AI people don’t like to let reality get in the way of a good narrative.
I run my own models, but only LLMs. Anything image or video generation is extremely hard to train ethically, and it looks like shit and obviously generated.
Now, the LLMs I run are not perfectly ethical, but I don’t ever post or otherwise publicize the raw output in any shape or form, I merely refer to it and fact check it. Anything I use them for is my own work.
And that’s where the difference between liberalism and anarchism show. Intellectual Property isn’t real. Ethically training your own models in anarchist philosophy means not including CSAM, Revenge porn, or anything else disgusting like that, anything available is yours to use as you see fit.
Using other people’s copyrighted content is not theft anymore than pirating movies is theft. We aren’t here to serve other’s capitalist desires and fantasies. That includes paying for or asking for permission to use pixels.
Tbf, something in a store has to be available before you can steal it, if it is sold out or not yet released it’ll be harder.
And really in this context “theft” is like “piracy is theft,” as much as I also don’t like AI, nobody else was deprived of the banner simply because db0 generated it. Piracy isn’t theft (and the owner of the Pirate instance isn’t likely to be persuaded by that argument at least, even if you disagree…)
And tbf, “well it was trained on actual artist’s work” and so was almost every artist in history, that’s kind of how it works to a degree. The greats separate themselves but a lot of human created art is derivative.
I mean there’s plenty to get mad at AI for, personally I’m not a fan of how people are using it as a brain replacement, how it enables further the ubiquitous spying, how people want it to replace humanity, oh and y’know literal actual murder robots in the form of autonomous loitering drones is probably a bad idea, and coming soon to a town near you. But that said “theft” isn’t super high up on my list, personally.
Though this could arguably fit under brain replacement, but more accurately I’d say it was “talent replacement” which is a little more defendable imo, like everyone should be able to think for the most part, not everyone can draw well. Does it affect how much I can appreciate the art in question? Absolutely. But it’s not necessarily dumbing db0 down just because he can’t draw for shit.
