I kinda love the discussion about the training of AI models for Art, since it clearly shows just how retarded some people are, when it comes to digital literacy.
No, the art wasn't stolen without your conscent. You gave it away to everyone, and are now pissed off, that someone saw it.

@LukeAlmighty that is a good point. if you put your art out there for free, you absolutely need to expect that people are going to share it, trace it, even profit off of it. for a very long time, people have gone as far as removing an artist's signature and selling it as merch on shirts via redbubble and shit. AI generation, in essence, is no different.
it sucks, but this IS what happens when you put your art out there. you just have to offer the superior product at the end of the day. which, especially right now, is not very hard. anyone chasing AI art over real art would likely not have been your fan in the first place.
AI art is also kind of like youtube poop. tons of people came together to make a bunch of spongebob episodes, and then one guy came around and spliced in memes and changed words around to make them say "fuck" "sus" and "pingas." it becomes a different product that someone else ends up gaining money or notoriety from, but it's still recognizably spongebob.
