Why This Award-Winning Piece of AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted

Jump

  • As I'd just written in another reply here, there is a world of difference in describing an illustration and creating an illustration.

  • Our thinking is not that different. There is a world of difference of describing an image and creating it.

    But I have to strongly disagree with the rest of your assessment. Beyond the flood of six-fingered waifu, I've seen some beautiful, legitimate works created by this new tool. If you have to use an "ai algo" you've already defeated the purpose. It's illustrations we're discussing here, not banknotes.

    BTW, do you consider Photoshop/Krita/GIMP artists "scammers"? Blender/Maya/Cinema4D artists? Who are these "actual artists" of which you speak?

    In any case, we're still in uncharted territory. And personally I'm not crazy about the work in question. It LOOKS (by my "actual artist trained eyes") AI generated, regardless of the human Photoshop retouching involved.

    • I just downloaded the entire Classic Chicago Television youtube channel on a whim

  • As if they're not having enough trouble with hosting "questionable" content! You obviously didn't read the torrentfreak article making the rounds.

    Internet Archive != the Pirate Bay.

    For now, DON'T contaminate the IA with the Classic Chicago Television channel.

  • While my thinking is in line with what @TheLobotomist@lemmy.world and @NateNate60@lemmy.ml have already said, why can't "AI artists" just do what everybody in a profit-seeking situation does and just lie about it? "No your honor, our studies have shown cigarette smoking is not hazardous to your health," "yes, your honor, OxyContin is completely safe," or in this case "yes, your honor, I created this illustration." If your conscience is really bothering you, you could claim it was AI-assisted. I wouldn't think there'd be a "Big Eyes" prove-you-painted-that courtroom case. Am I wrong?

  • I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused on what this new community is about.

    • Do you think opensource + Fediverse will develop into some kind of political force/movement in the next years?

  • No, all/most of the cool stuff gets politicized/weaponized and becomes shitty.
