It’s about the ethics of the thing. Using stolen data to create something is stealing. It’s unethical. Not putting the work in to create something yourself means you’re not relying on your own skills. There’s nothing there to be proud of. AI doesn’t create anything, it just throws the dataset it was given into the mixer and outputs it again in a different pattern.
Here’s hoping everyone else you come out to will have a similar reaction. Don’t let them get you down if they do not; it’s their failure, not yours.
