Here's a way to turn anti-AI rage into action:

Normalize crediting.

I can't tell you how many times an invite, email, blog post, random bit of social media content goes out with some kind of unattributed lovely art.

CREDIT ARTISTS. ON EVERYTHING. It's easy. And if we normalized crediting enough, the generated images would stand out on their own for absence of credit.

@edk Thanks for this reminder. As a life coach I often use art that is creative commons and doesn't require crediting but just because it isn't required doesn't mean it isn't the right thing to do. Your post has challenged me to do better and support the artists that make their work freely available.
@jcrossonhill @edk Almost all Creative Commons licenses actually require credit. Only CC0 and public domain dedications do not require attribution. Every other CC license has the "BY" / Attribution clause, requiring credit. In fact CC-BY is a popular choice, where literally the only requirement is that you credit the maker.
@skyfaller @edk You're right. I misspoke. I thought Pixabay was using the no attribution version of cc but it's actually their own license that doesn't require it. They do give you the necessary info to attribute though.
