Minimally whoever made the original chair, plus every single other person whose manual 3D models were fed into the training data so that you can get a “new” one with a click.
The fact that so many people are involved in the chain does not mean it isn’t theft. It’s simply obfuscated theft.
If you were to duplicate a unique Ikea design and sell it as your own, something tells me you’d have a legal issue.
Of course this is a bit different because you’re making a representation of the chair. But, it could in turn be used to replicate a chair. If you use an AI model to make a 3D representation of Ariel from the Little Mermaid, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say Disney’s legal team would come after you if you tried to profit from it.
There is certainly a difference between intellectual property and other kinds. My response above assumes intellectual property, which doesn’t necessarily fit the chair example cleanly. But the point remains the same, and the distinction isn’t always relevant.
If you take a picture of a chair and turn it in a click into a perfect 3D model with AI, who are you stealing from?
