I say this with the utmost respect and sympathy: "Won't someone think of the Buggy Whip Manufacturers!"
AI is arguably the technical manifestation of the concept of the "Wisdom of the Crowd"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd?wprov=sfla1
Given the nature of how AI uses data, I figure you should be paid the cover price of all your works. If it costs me $1000 to buy and read every book you've ever written, it should cost the AI trainer the same amount. Now, if we are talking retroactive payments because the works in question were pirated, that's a completely different number.
The other factor to consider is this: discarding all other considerations, given the binary choice of having your voice and opinion included in the model or having your ideas ignored and excluded, which would you rather choose?
Theft is theft no matter what vehicle /means you are using to execute that theft. Thats why individuals and corporations are being sued. We are not suing the raw technology / a.i program itself .
Seems pretty straightforward here. If someone smashes your car windows with a baseball bat, we sue/punish the person using the bat. Not the bat or the bat 's manufacturer. Also makes no sense to get angry at the bat but rather the individual or act.
A 3d printer can be used to commit fraud or art theft/theft of intellectual property. 3d printing deserves to still exist.

It was not meant to be equivalent. And you didn’t comment on the examples on how AI is *already* being employed to solve this issue.
Oh no, another article written by someone else that’s supposed to confute what I experience everyday! And behind a paywall so I can’t even read it!
How was this statement not meant to be you presenting an equivalent to my previous post -
And heres Jorg's Threads on it too -

I'm happy I finally have time time to feature the "Tales from the Frontier" comic, seen in StarfleetAcademy's "Come, Let's Away". 😊 I have assembled all the pages seen in the episode but as a special gift, here's the cover and back page of the comic, provided to me by its designer: Stuart...

So, who's up for a good round of "Blame the inker?"And heres Jorg's Threads on it too -

Then here's the study the article was referencing.
Yep. Seems this discussion is now moot as no AI was involved:

UPDATED: Comic Book From ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Ep. 6 NOT Created With AI – Artist Revealed
'Tales from the Frontier'' is a fake comic book made by a real person.

That settles it. And I see the dodgy collar in the original line art

@Tosk, you like ketchup with that hat?
Jesting aside, it‘s cool that the artist has come forward and even posted some of his sketches. It sucks so much that that‘s where we are now, artists having to post evidence and prove instead of people just being able to enjoy the art. I’m sure there still will be plenty of people who just know this must be AI. (And truth be told, it still could be, even with those sketches. But I refuse to be this cynical.) What‘s interesting is that in those sketches Captain Chi doesn‘t appear to be Asian yet. And it would still be cool to learn what the thinking is behind the TOS uniforms.
Well, the penciler employed a very spare sketching style. Trek uniforms are a little generic. Colored and detailed differently, those might not look so TOS - as in The Last Starship comic./thread

I still have questions and concerns, but I'll take this one squarely on the chin.
My head canon is that someone at Paramount had the artist speak up because someone there has been following this thread.
