Ha. The general counsel for Midjourney trying to claim it's a victory, when it's very clearly not what was written... Copyright Office: ""The fact that Midjourney's specific output cannot be predicted by users makes Midjourney different for copyright purposes than other tools used by artists." Midjourney's counsel:…
Heya - I don't think anyone in this thread implied this. As far as I am concerned my point is that it will without a doubt make some creative work environments very toxic, very fast. To sum up my above points I can see this happening in two ways : 1 - Loudmouth "idea people" (either high up in the executive ranks or from…
no obviously not, because photoshop doesnt do these, but if an artist decides to plagiarize copyrighted images, he will get shunned at the lightest and sued at the hardest. but when using AI you can not know what and how much it stole and might break copyrights. if an artist does it when on hire you can sue him, can you…
How is published art on artstation "for free content" ? It is intellectual property of artists and should be treated as such. When uploading to platforms like this, it is obvious that you as an artist agree to the possibility of the artwork being shared on the internet and you (and the platform) have no control over where…
I disagree with people calling it "tool". This is not something you spend years of training to learn all the intricates like you do with oil paints and brush, with maya/blender/zbrush, with illustrator/affiniy designer etc. etc. See my example image above with the blackbird and the earthworm. Yes you do. The skill that you…
I disagree with people calling it "tool". This is not something you spend years of training to learn all the intricates like you do with oil paints and brush, with maya/blender/zbrush, with illustrator/affiniy designer etc. etc. Or do you call website with free models (or paid models) to download and use as "tool" as well?…
The thing I find fascinating about the quotes from the person pumping the potion example is how they show a complete misunderstanding of game design - or rather an attempt at wrapping/bending the narrative to fit the concept of an infinite art generator. Because outside of the most mindless games targetting a demographic…
Its the speed at which its evolving that unsettles me. Like I'd seen this compilation of baby and toon versions of marvel characters and the AI was able to capture subtleties of personality in the variations.

Interesting point for sure. But this still claims that the AI uses existing images, which it does not. It is based at all the material that it has learned. You can with heavy tweaking also produce copyrighted material. Like you can do with Photoshop. And still if this would be the case, then you simply have to do proper…
I love examples ^^ Well, this is a clear license break then. But what is your point with it? We have alreaydy arrived at that you can break license with every art tool. Also with AI. In this case i would still have to sue you, not the AI :) EDIT; this is by the way an interesting border case already. Here in europe you can…
