I would argue that they go hand in hand. It would be more nonsensical to be an anarchist who apologizes for capitalist constructs like intellectual property, and the idea that you need to pay or ask permission to someone to access or use pixels.

Anything image or video generation is extremely hard to train ethically

And that’s where the difference between liberalism and anarchism show. Intellectual Property isn’t real. Ethically training your own models in anarchist philosophy means not including CSAM, Revenge porn, or anything else disgusting like that, anything available is yours to use as you see fit.

Using other people’s copyrighted content is not theft anymore than pirating movies is theft. We aren’t here to serve other’s capitalist desires and fantasies. That includes paying for or asking for permission to use pixels.

There is nothing capitalist about rolling your own models which is what we do here, but hey. You just gave a great example of how anti-AI people don’t like to let reality get in the way of a good narrative.

stolen images

Intellectual Property is not a consideration for anarchists. Maybe it is for liberals but anarchists do not often suffer from liberal thoughts. If we do we work to improve ourselves and stop having them.
