That's a lot of work. second of all, what you should be doing is making a simple thing called a STRUCT that stores DATA about each artist which lets you make decisions about how to distribute dollars. The artist with 15 pieces simply has fewer data points than the artist with 1500, but they are no less deserving of compensation for their work when the AI generates something in their style, or using their style as an inspiration. "oh but just because a piece is similar to another piece doesn't mean the first piece used the second piece as inspiration" I don't care. It's not meant to be a perfect solution. I'm sure there's problems with it, just like there are problems with anything that I, or anyone else, has ever suggested at any point in time while living on this earth or beyond. But it gets dollars into the hands of artists and I'm okay with that. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┘ --- #3 messages/454 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── AI that can't run on a laptop is useless. But AI that can run on a laptop (even now) is still useful. Just, don't ask it to compose a masterpiece, solve all your problems, or write elegant code. It's not for that. Instead, ask your chatbot "hi can you fix these syntax errors?" on your pseudocode. Ask your weighting algorithm "which of these two is more [adjective]?" or perhaps "can you ask these numbers in the form of a question?" Use your tools not for their intended purpose, but rather for your own stated goals.
