I dislike the hectoring, schoolmarmish tone, but what really struck me was the incomprehension of how AI actually works. To wit:

> Most of these programs work by learning from the styles in the images they’ve been fed. So if they ingest an artist’s distinctive work, that work eventually starts to bleed into the program’s new “original” creations.

I'm really amazed Polygon published a piece that gets something so basic about its topic so very wrong.
