Tough tits. Imagine all the books, movies and games that could have been made if copyright didn't exist. Nobody else gets to ignore the rules just because it's inconvenient.

Honestly, if tech companies have to battle it out in court with Disney, imma grab some popcorn and watch the money go brrrrr.

Epic lawsuits round 2... "There are no heroes here"

And if it's ok. Then what's the limit on what an AI is, do you have to prove an AI made it? Or can you just write some repetitive work and say it's made by AI and dodge copyright?

That's the key, humans can take inspiration from other people's copyrighted work, why can't AI?

[–] Fisk400@feddit.nu 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because they cant. They do not have the ability to be creative or be inspired.

Why can’t they? Sure if you ask it to make a pixel perfect replica of the Mona Lisa it will probably do it. But if you’re asking it to make something new it will make something new.

Then you don't need to use copyrighted material as training data. If the AI can be creative and make new things it doesn't need the copyrighted material. Just tell it to make new things and use the new things to make other new things.
