This is some of the weirdest, most just hate fueled things I've seen in a while. Like, 'DefendingAiArt' by actively threatening to do... what? Train a model on it just to be a awful person? Just, what does this person gain from this?

Is this some sort of absurd 'I'm better then you' power play or just spite? Cool, you have a dataset, of data you know you have explicit non-permission to do something with, and you're going to do what? This is a really deep case of 'owning the libs' syndrome. Just... shooting yourself in the foot?

Also, that implied idea that they somehow think this is beneficial to their cause of normalizing 'AI art.' Being an awful person is very rarely good for convincing people. (Something that everyone needs a reminder on though from time to time, for what its worth.)
