all the law is threat of violence, and almost exclusively it is used to protect the owning class, not the working class. Wow. Just wow. I have stopped reading at that point already. Whatever you say my friend, whatever you say. And we don't have AI for music yet, right? Of course we have, since eons. Also here no lawsuit…
We go in circles. Since of course i disagree. Copyright is not broken by looking at public available images. Oh boy would we have a problem when this would be the case :) Have a read here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/23/technology/copilot-microsoft-ai-lawsuit.html To the surprise of many legal experts, Mr. Butterick’s…
the future is almost certainly death of the entire human race and nearly all other forms of life, so it kinda needs to be stopped. True. But i prefer to have nevertheless some fun before this happens :) it's not good at all for people who made a living by making art. And people who makes a living from art explicitely…
Recruiting shouldn't be affected, save for having to deal with applicants that don't understand that prompting an AI to make art isn't equal to actually knowing how to make digital art. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't apply for a concept art position if all they knew was prompting. Its possible that they might still get…
Well yes, that's what happens every time we invent new things. Unfortunately what also happens every time is that legislation lags behind a bit and people get screwed over until it catches up. (music sampling in the 1980s is probably a decent parallel to draw) There are a lot of noisy idiots jumping on the 'robot bad'…
I still can not understand the reason why somebody would call it AI "art" in the first place other than for cynical manipulation of social narratives. For sociopaths everything can be a "tool", even another person. No wonder they are so loud right now in defending AI with rather very weak arguments, e.g. that it is fun for…
@Tiles well yeah winners and losers is the thing. People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers, and people who've done nothing now are allowed to be winners. But they've sacrificed nothing. That's why the word fair keeps coming up. So, if you were not able to afford to pay artist…
It's both : there is a huge market/desire for people to be able to take a picture of themselves and have their Madden avatar look just like them. As a matter of fact these things have been attempted before with crude photoslapping. And then there's indeed the fantasy/anime avatars for VRchat and Vtube - but I can guarantee…
It´s not "hate" when you use common sense to call something what it is. Call us pencil-grabbers, paper scratchers, tablet tip worners (personally I prefer this one, because I have to put a new tip on my wacom anyway...). Find some name you would call us that would be accurate and would make us feel uncomfortable at the…
You're mixing things up again. The AI-fying done on the drawing with the red background is of course a different thing altogether from the topic of data collection/scraping without consent for the fabrication of a latent diffusion model. Many would indeed agree that the "tool" is not responsible for what this AI-Jerk did…
