| Here’s an article specifically on the legality of photo bashing: https://www.owe.com/is-fan-art-legal-fair-use-what-about-mas... Your “carte Blanche fair use” claim is nonsense. Copyright owners can, in fact, today stop derivative works that they know about, including photobashing. By your own admission, AI is barely doing photobashing, so is very obviously not creating original works and is subject to copyright claims. It gets tiring listening to HN AI enthusiasts pretending that AI is an actual comparison to human intelligence when it’s actually demonstrably a specialized search engine that does little more than copy and paste. If this were not the case, then: -An AI would be able to feed itself without becoming shit tier nonsense -An ai would be able to create materials not discernible from its training material Neither case is true for any AI, including diffusion models. |
Since you seem to not be aware of this: Fair use is an affirmative defense. By definition nothing I have written is therefore "carte blanche" as no defense of fair use can be ever said to be "carte blanche". This is pure sophistry on your part and transparently so.

And mashups, photobashing, and many things likewise, remain legal and with fair use defenses in the courts as precedent. You continue to reach to any dishonesty or deflection including projection to avoid dealing with any of the points anyone has brought up.
