for those of you who remember cgtextures circa 2008, texture.ninja has a large repository of public domain textures without annoying hoops to jump through.

This is true but also, people who use AI typically do not want something new, they want something that already exists, but in a lesser form they can claim ownership over. The primary use case of AI is to plagiarize, to reorder someone else's work, no matter whose, and put it on a leash.

The more you understand AI, the more you realize that it can't replace artists. It just can't. Even using the AI to make something requires being a creative human with an idea. Generative AI literally runs on a data set, it cannot conceptualize things that do not already exist -- or even things that DO but aren't in its data. And honestly, sometimes even the best models have a pretty hard fucking time conceptualizing things that very much do exist in their data set. The whole concept of creativity revolves around being able to conceptualize a unique idea that lives inside your brain. Being able to regurgitate things that already exist and being able to flesh out a fully original idea are completely opposite things. Even when you are prompting an AI model to generate something that you thought up, you have to explain it in terms of things that already exist so the AI can create it from those pre-existing pieces. If AI existed in 1930 you could not ask it to generate an image of gollum, because Tolkien did not create him yet. Do you see what I'm saying??????

columbo should be public domain. he should be allowed to show up in anything. the columbo episode should be one of the standard types of tv episode like the beach episode or the episode where a character shrinks and explores the insides of someone's body
