Yes, Claude is the AI doing my denoising. I keep running out of tokens with my 4k renders.

AI is a nebulous term. AI denoisers are not the same thing as an LLM or image gen model, the ire is directed at LLMs and not AI denoisers because they are completely different things.

Wasn't this one called "machine learning" for denoising and upscaling? That's completely different from an LLM replacing your job (after being trained on your work without permission).

It's clear that the beef Artists vs AI is clearly about genAI and not about other kind of AI

Denoisers and upscalers don't make authorial decisions. This is a stupid comparison.
