| >They've had their content mocked, copied and even used as hate speech for decades now. Yeah, by actual PEOPLE not corporations. Even then you aren't allowed to use copyrighted trade marks what the hell?? >There's a good arguement that all of these images are derivative parody works protected by Fair Use, AI-generated or not. That doesn't even make sense. >The AI-generation legality part is yet-to-be-decided-on, but it will probably err on the side of model freedom. I wager it's too late to draft a bill that changes things this far in the game. HmmŲ so let's see, it's the entirety of the worlds entertainment and media industry, estimated annual revenue (globally) 2.32 trillion U.S. dollars vs. some startup run by jewish guy that employs less than 400 people. I agree tho that by now the cat is probably out of the bag and that people will most likely just create their own shitty little models at home and that this will only ever get easier as compute gets cheaper and cheaper. But do people even realize, do they have the brainpower to understand that AI doesn't mean "independent consciouss mind living in a machine somewhere discovering ideas on its own", that it's in fact much more mundane than that and that in reality what all these models essentially are is just a distributed compression algorithms for digital media? |
Nope. Here's an easy test for your claims; prove it.
None of your examples are copyrighted works. They resemble copyrighted works, but my so does my framed painting of Super Mario smoking weed. As long as I'm not using it to identically reproduce copyrighted material in full (which is impossible), what is the potential harm here? It is legally protected, unique expression created in parody of a pop culture figure. This isn't even remotely a new concept.
Also, brush up on copyright precedent and Fair Use. It's not the 60s, Pinkertons won't burn down your house for animating Mickey Mouse sucking a dick anymore. Brave new world, huh?
