I think that the argument, overall, is that there are questions as to the legality of certain applications of the technology.

Society needs to change the laws regarding the preservation of value of intellectual labor, as has long been suggested.

Acting like the law doesn’t matter is a bad thing, if we are making value judgements.

So if a particular convolution appears often, how would you assign value to that? Any ideas?
Indeed, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33194623 for some initial thoughts on how this problem (and others) could be rectified
So, an AI Karen?

>the generative AI system censors any output containing a category of error

I can see the ruleset now…

"This picture of a woman is revealing hair, so it must be censored because it is objectionable to some people and we must respect all people whose beliefs are guided in a sanctioned way."

"This picture shows unadulterated fun, which must be censored because…"

etc.

Or more to the point, “this picture contains copyrighted material, which must be censored because…”

etc.

I tried to be as general as possible.

The training data for a self-censorship neural network could be as robust as any given society would like.

An algorithm based on self-censorship of generated output wouldn’t require censorship within the training data for the generative neural network.

I can imagine some other advantages to that approach.

But literally (and I use that word literally) none of the pictures contain copyrighted material.
I don't know how people can make these strong statements about anything in law.

Disney have won cases in court were some artist has drawn their own version of Mickey Mouse, similarly try writing a story about some kids in a wizard school and you need to be extremely careful not to violate (or at least get taken to court) for Harry Potters copyright.

I'm pretty certain image production models have produced some images which would very likely to be judged to violate copyright (a much less strong statement).
