@DarkElegance Thank you :) I should probably read that article.

There are a few articles out on it. It's due to the fact that genAI gets its “materials” from the web. What is posted, to "learn" from. But as the web gets saturated with AI gen images and text, it starts “learning” from that genAI material. Causing issues with the outputs. It literally is “eating itself”. (I believe popular mechanic has an article on the text AI and it's starting to have issues in regard to this)

They have done studies that show that with a "limited training field" for GenAI, it gets…well…corrupted.
So if Daz is claiming its AI engine is only, trained on its own images, it should then start “eating itself” faster than one of the big web-wide genAI engines.

Yes, I have read other articles about that. That's a problem for the AI companies - It's what they deserve. They deserve much worse, but when their generators collapse from eating too much of their own output, that will at least be a start.

Perhaps if those companies were more ethical in their approach to our work, I would feel more kindly toward them and their generated images. As it is, they ripped off all of us and patted themselves on the back for their brazen theft. And other big companies, grateful for the ill-gotten gain, sent those companies a lot of money - Not us, just the thieving AI companies that benefited from our work - As if being an artist isn't already hard enough.
