Yeah — isn’t he confusing the arguments against AI art?

I’m against AI art because it is built on stealing the work of artists who did not consent to their work being trained on.

I couldn’t care less about models trained on the open source software I released, because I released it to be used.

Licenses were not respected. Most open source licenses require credit at least.

"BotXPTO has been trained with the entire internet circa 2026" is arguably attribution enough.

This would be useless. And false. It could not be argued in good faith. And open source licenses require the original copyright notice specifically.

I don't have problem with AI learning from FOSS code bases. I have a big problem with FOSS code bases helping to create non-FOSS code which does not return the favor. AI-washed Windows code for Wine would be fantastic.

It's both, although the latter is more prominent.
