Generative artificial intelligence applications like Stable Diffusion have caused concern about the impact of AI on creative work and production. We have already witnessed the use of AI-generated images replacing artwork produced by humans.

Artists are up in arms, arguing that AI's capacity to produce such artwork is a question of theft, as AI relies on machine learning. This means that for AI to generate art, it relies upon being fed existing, human-made art. Therefore, it is, essentially, plagiarizing. It's a complex argument, but there is much to explore.
