Vent: My AI art tool blurred the lines between inspiration and infringement

I used a model trained on copyrighted artwork to generate a portfolio piece that got recognized. Now I'm torn because it elevated my work but feels built on others' creativity without consent. How do we navigate this moral haze in generative AI?

Had a friend who copied comic book panels for her portfolio. Got called out when she tried to pass it as her own work.

Yeah, @sage_hart has a point, but you gotta tweak outputs heavily.

Music sampling overcame infringement claims, AI will too.

Sampling had fair use, but does AI training qualify?
