    Please stop treating a pile of eight zillion thumbnails, used to draw any combination of the concepts therein, as if it’s just piracy. Even actual piracy would not be theft.

    If you process every image on the internet into number soup that’d fit on one DVD-R, I do not care what copyright says about the original images. Oh no, the draw-anything machine can draw Mario. We expect it not to do that for some reason?

        The legal aspect is: it’s fine.

        Throwing the whole internet into a blender and pouring out Darth Vader doing bong hits in a spaghetti museum is pretty god-dang transformative.
