Your words are stolen. You didn't invent English, its words, its grammar.
AI art is stolen in the same way music resamples are stolen.
It steals like artists learning from other artists. Babies learning from the world around them.

AI art is, in my opinion, an accessory to thievery, and only if the dataset and model that produced it was trained on copyrighted work. I would've preferred if they had had a sign-up/opt-in phase, or just using open license and public domain pictures. But the damage has been done and they sure as hell aren't going to revert any of the changes.

Let's assume it is. And? I'm still going to use it. And so will everyone else.
Not exactly everyone. I will continue to pay artists for their art. Once the AI will train mostly on derivative works produced by itself, with most artists whose work was used without asking to originally train the AI out of business, it will be very fun. Those who will be able to use all that stuff as a new kind of raw material to create pristine art will be a tiny minority, and it will really be a new chapter in the art book. For everybody else, the marvellous AI will be in the hands of the lords of social media, producing an infinite stream of uninsteresting stuff you love watching while scrolling the infinitely long page depicting the sterile desert we contributed to create teaching the machine what we like and what we don't. Very fun, indeed. An AI generated mirror of our mediocrity, with no way out. And please, don't start telling me that our brains work the same and that every piece of art is derivative work. Human beings are a little bit more complex than a neural network.

They are natives and breath the local atmosphere.

That is the point of frameworks. Apple can keep improving SwiftUI and everyone using it will benefit with minimal effort, if not automatically. It does not have to be perfect, there just has to be constant progress.
That statement applies equally to any web-based framework, any native framework, Java, appkit, UWP, Silverlight… Apple could have invested in SwiftUI on Mac to the same extent they did on iOS, and things would look very different. SwiftUI as currently implemented on Mac breaks enough platform conventions and is, relative to existing native UI, slow and buggy enough to IMO not more native than any other cross platform…
Which UI conventions are broken? SwiftUI mostly uses the standard AppKit widgets, then it's up to the developer to use it or to customise everything and make a monster out of it.
The main "issue" is that it's much easier to customise things in SwiftUI.

Until law makers catch up, which is a long time if there's no other negative than that some artists need to up their game or find another job.
Why would law regulate how art is made? Should they ban photoshop also?
That’s why copyright exists, so that more people create art for a living. You can be against copyright, but it’s certainly something that the law concerns itself with.

#49Too bad there's no complete instructions for installing this, and no issue tracker to ask in. This might be nice, but I really don't get projects that have no releases and not provide build instructions.
what do you mean? you can open an issue on github and there are build instructions in the readme

Hm, new chapter sure. What about the aesthetics? 20th century art (architecture primarily, but also paintings, etc.) expresses feelings mostly because with the advent of tech (photography, etc.). I get that there was no need to improve upon what we had in terms of sculptures (Greek-Roman, etc.)s and artists nowadays are all about originality... But modern art is ugly AF compared to past centuries. Poor aesthetics are everywhere, from the way we dress, to the way we build... Even when budget is a non-issue.
Take any 8th-BC-to-17th-AD art-form and compare it to a modern counter-part and you'll see what I mean. I feel that most 20th century art-form won't survive the next 200 years for good reason.
