I get where you are trying to come from, but corporations are essentially parties consisting of people and property/capital. The latter of which cannot hold copyright. The former can.

@Michael P Yeah that makes sense.

Michael P 14 gün önce

@KopiCAT "They" in this sense was an indefinite pronoun referring to the corporation which committed the corporate crime. I was not advocating that individuals within the corporation be held liable (though that would also be nice). I mean the legal "person" that is the corporation. Instead of a slap-on-the-wrist fine that corporations see as a simple cost of doing business, corporations found liable for something should face real punitive damages, something stiff enough to make shareholders take notice and force corrective action.

KopiCAT 14 gün önce

@Michael P You say "I'll believe corporations are people when they serve time for corporate crimes." OK, but who are "they"? Everyone? The owner? CEO? Shareholders? Majority and/or minority shareholders? Regular employees? Who made the decision that led to the disaster? And on what evidence did he/she base that decision on? Problem with holder corporation accountable is that there are a hodgepodge of people involved some way or another. And it's easy to circle the wagon and muddy the waters enough that it's practically impossible to point to specific persons actually at fault.

WiggaMachiavelli 2 gün önce

@mister liligant You're not 'a photographer' because you took a photograph of yourself in your ill-fitting underwear in front of your grubby bathroom mirror, but you still own the copyright as 'the photographer' in respect of that photograph. Using AI tools to manifest a specific artistic vision requires both the vision, and the technical competency to effectively use the tool. It may be helpful to conceive of the use of prompts for AI as a higher level form of natural language programming. It should be uncontroversial that a collection of such prompts can form a copyrightable literary work, or that the picture those prompts produce can itself be copyrightable..

AI is isolated work a program to copy style, image and by all means your work is being used that should not, be unless it only takes the best in that style and form. hearing and understanding its has so much data behind it making great art must mean its not use even 90% after people help it understand what they like.

The problem with that is one must learn the mathematics needed to understand the machine learning process. Most people have no interest in learning the math and computer skills to understand how machine learning works. Therefore there will be no consensus unless you trust the computer scientists and mathematicians. In this day and age - good luck on that.

@ Jeff Koenig ____ @Therese N let me ask you something simple: if I look at your art as a reference to learn how to draw (whatever it is your style and subject matter pertains to), are you going to sue me? Are you upset or flattered? Have I really impacted your ability to create or your reputation as an artist in any way? And finally, why does it or would it matter if the artist learning from your work is human? ___ In fact, it enhances their reputation and makes their work more notable and valuable. Also, the AI algorithm is doing EXACTLY what artists do. I wonder if those complaining about AI art, without influence from other artists living and passed, simply had their own style. I doubt it.

I love it when the A.I. generates an image with two recognizable watermarks from different artists. In my opinion in this situation the copyright dispute must be handled with gladiatorial combat.

Risto Paasivirta 28 gün önce

@Mathematical Poetry I know. And it doesn't mean either that the system did anything that might be directly related to the artist. It's just a repeated pattern that the model has picked up as part of things it thinks belongs in a picture. Still find it funny tho when an image gets two or even three signatures on them. I do understand the frustration of the artists tho, must not be fun seeing the A.I. plastering a bastardized version of their signature unto generated artworks.

My thoughts on this is simple, if the AI is trained using art from human artists then those who are training the AI should arrange a licensing agreement with the original artists since their work is being used to make the AI profitable

Azaril 5 gün önce

That's just how licensing works, you can't pay the fee you can't use it, that's the whole point of it.

Azaril 5 gün önce

@Pixel Puppy that's for the most part how licensing works, when dbd first started they were too small to get the rights to people like myers and such, doesn't mean they get a reduced price, they waited till their game had a large enough audience that the rights holders saw that there was profit to be made.

Pixel Puppy 5 gün önce

@Azaril there are "little artists and developers" who would want to train an AI to do specific things too. They wouldn't be able to afford to pay the licensing fees, while bigger media companies like Disney would. That means the little guys will be locked out of doing this.

Zach Rodan Aylar önce

the point you brought up about fair use, that in addition to being "transformative" it must be "for a separate use" is I think a big issue with the ai artwork: as I said in my comment about the comparison to the two google cases, these ai art generators are trained on work produced by other artists in order to be able to create works that compete with those artists. I rather doubt anyone would consider that to be a separate use

Jose Humdinger 7 gün önce

@yodulp"failing even one of them is grounds for copyright infringement". No necessarily. All four factors have to be considered but how they are balanced against each other is up to the court to decide. It's not as simple as any lone factor always being determinative of any case.

DjMaffi 18 gün önce

@Zach Rodan the AIs right now are trained in the same way you would train a baby: you show the baby an image of a tree enough times and it will learn what a tree is by visual association. Then the baby can try and draw a tree and maybe it will kind of look like a tree. Is the drawing the baby made not dissimilar to what AI is producing? what if you train a baby with the drawing of a tree an artist made and then you tell the baby to draw a tree. is that art copyright infringment? or is there something i am missing?

DjMaffi 18 gün önce

@Cory Zilligen yeah but how do you determine what the output of AI falls under? we can discuss whether the data the AI is trained on was obtained legally, but the process by which the AI makes a piece is not that different from how an artist learns

Zach Rodan 19 gün önce

@DjMaffi the issue isn't about style. it is about the expression of ideas. the style is not subject to copyright in the first place, after all. however, the way a particular artist expresses a specific idea creates a copyrighted expression of that idea. if the ai is then using that to tell it what "airplane" looks like, i'd argue it is absolutely making use of the expression of the idea, rather than just the idea. remember, the ai, unlike a human artist, doesn't know what a tree is. it knows what set of values and weights tend to produce something humans identify as fitting the description of "tree", but it has no understanding that a tree is a large plant with a strong middle part covered with bark, which humans often cut down to get raw materials to make houses out of.

Cory Zilligen 19 gün önce

@DjMaffi "Where is the line that determines "copying a style" vs "interpreting a style" for a human or an AI?" That's not even a legally-relevant question, though. As Devin pointed out in the video, a _style_ is not copyrightable, only the individual works.

@Winnie the Pooh Xi yea agreed, there is definitely a huge bias that many people have to think that they (or rather humans) are somehow unique and special among everything else when we're really not. Most people havent actually put much thought into what humans actually are or how our bodies and brains actually function. So there is a HUGE bias towards human exceptionalism. People tend to have an existential crisis when they realize that humans really arent all that special and there isnt any particular reason to assume that we are. We're still just normal animals, just with slightly more complex brains to allow for things like language and societies. But im sure people will start to realize this stuff over the next generation as people grow up with AI. Those preconceptions will disappear when there are more direct examples that show that humans arent the only ones capable of creative thought or ideas and stuff.

@Дмитро Прищепа Then the companies that propose to use and profit from the work of others have two options - they must do what you (I think entirely wrongly) call 'impossible' and pay people for the use of their work, or they must stop using other people's work. When you say it is impossible to do sensibly, you just mean that it would be difficult, time consuming and expensive. But since these businesses make money from using the work of others (if not from the sale of the derivative work, then from fees for access to the software or from advertising attached to the software), they should have the motivation and the requisite resources to figure it out. The alternative (the do-nothing solution that you would excuse as inevitable) is essentially the following: let businesses profit from the works of others without paying them. That is entirely unacceptable.

@Thomas Gray a truly ethical AI companies should open source everything. This way every people have the same level of access.

@Johnathan Era If you're the drummer in a band, and an album you helped create gets played on the radio, you're entitled to royalties.

I watch a few authors stream on TRvid and they have expressed concerns about AI art. Specifically some of the places that have copies of their work have now modified their EUL agreements to say that their work can be fed into AI Art generators without additional consent.

It took her forever to claw back her rights to that work.

I am glad you went super in depth about this subject. I agree with the court system that currently the ai does not pertain enough human element to warrant a human copyrighted ownership. I feel the best way right now to make both artists and ai users happy in creating works would be to develop a dataset that is consensual in its production. Not only does that open the doors for ai to have ownership, as the dataset is a unique and human collective created and altered by machine similarly to many works of art done through photoshop, it also does not steal from passionate creators to potentially try and replace them. The entry level comparison of, "AI works and develops things the same way humans do" is a misconstrued analogy rather than a definitive truth. Normally I do not comment, but this conversation is super engaging to me as someone who loves art but also loves computer science.

David Caskie Aylar önce

As a photographer that has sold the usage right of my photographs to magazines and different client mediums I foresee the problem that is going to happen when these new "A.I. Artists" start to sell the production rights to their artwork to someone or some corporation without disclosing the the work was indeed produced by and AI program. At some point someone else sees the artwork online and takes it, (since AI work is technically free usage) and uses it somewhere else which will most certainly incur a lawsuit from the entity that paid for the original production rights. I think a lot of these new AI artists are going to have some very expensive lessons...

Matirion Aylar önce

@56redgreen It doesn't encode the images. It looks for patterns and similarities when it looks at an image and establishes rules based on that, which human artists do too when learning. It doesn't even use the actual images at all in the production process as a result. Let's say you ask a random artist, "can you make me a drawing in this style?" And you then show them hundreds of examples of that style made by the original artist, they will be trying to figure out what makes that style the way it is. That's the extent to which most of the AI stuff uses the copyrighted works too. A lot of the court cases die on that obstacle, because they couldn't point out the difference between a human learning the style and AI learning the style. Similarly, the creation of new work in a style doesn't use the original art either, but in the case of the stable diffusion AI, uses static and distorts it over and over to get closer to something that matches the rules it learned. At no point is the learning art actually used except for determining the rules the style follows. There are AI that actually make collages, but I suspect that the current lawsuit against stable diffusion is doomed to fail because it simply doesn't actually use the art like they claim it does.

This is such a complex and interesting topic! I really hope there are laws created to protect artists and other creatives from AI generated art/content. I also wonder if digital artists are going to return to using more traditional mediums (acrylics, oils, colored pencils, etc) to create artwork and limit what they post online. Because I've seen artists post only a small part of a painting on social media, probably to prevent art theft.

Curt J. Sampson Aylar önce

Do keep in mind that the original purpose of copyright (and patent, and "intellectual property" protections in general) in modern conceptions of copyright (e.g., the U.S. constitution) is not protection of the artist: it's to encourage the production of original ideas _for the benefit of society._ Copyright owners, of course, have attempted to use this to extract more rent than necessary for this encouragement. A classic example is Disney's (successful) campaigning to have the copyright massively lengthened so as to let them continue to extract rent from Mickey Mouse. This clearly goes against the intent behind copyright law in the U.S., since Disney, by creating Mickey Mouse in the first place, showed that such long copyright periods were _not_ necessary to encourage that creation. In fact, at this point where the protections have gone far beyond what's necessary just to encourage creation of new works we are actively suppressing creation: works take longer and longer to come out of copyright and become part of our "creative commons" and are thus not available for artists to re-use in their own new works. Imagine if Shakespeare's plays were still under copyright and owned by Disney; that would be a huge drag on artistry and creativity, without protecting anything except corporate profits. I don't think that there's anything inherently wrong with giving creators short-term monopolies on production of intangible things that otherwise have virtually no cost to reproduce, and letting them extract rent from that, _if_ there's a benefit to society (including other creators!) from this. Giving artists a way to make a living from their art so that they can create that art that benefits us all is a fine idea. But taken too far, or even just done in the wrong way, it turns into something that harms all of us, _including other artists,_ in order to benefit corporations and their shareholders.

@IsYitzach It’s really not as clear cut as that. I could make a hyper-realistic digitally painted recreation of that same Afghan woman portrait and it would be a transformative work.

Zac D Aylar önce

@IsYitzach Afghan woman was in the training data hundreds of times, it's mostly a case of bad data and extra weighting towards that result.

IsYitzach Aylar önce

@Marko Petejan I have a different opinion on the matter of weightings. I think it was Hank Green that asked one of the AI machines for "an Afghan woman" and ended up with the cover a national geographic except her eyes were green instead of brown. Clearly, in that case, almost all of the pixels came from that one image and would almost certainly be derivative and not transformative. Images can't be equal weight to all training data or all outputs would be the same. So weights to each image in the training data for each output will clearly be different and such information is unlikely to preserved in the AI unless some characteristic such as the Getty watermark were to be reproduced or an image were to be used almost in its entirety, see my previous example.

Marko Petejan Aylar önce

I would go on to say that AI work is neither derivative, nor transformative. It is not intelligent and it is not stupid. Those are words we can use for ourselves, because this is how we "work", not how AI works. Makes sense? Anyway, my information is that the dataset was 240 000 GB in size, while the AI network that is producing art is 5 GB in size. Even in the case that anything was stolen from original images (this is not how it works, btw), that would equate to 0.002% of original pixels being taken from each original image. Since the images processed by the network were all 512x512 pixels in size, this would mean that about 5 pixels were "unlawfully taken" from each image. So, we are talking at most if 5 pixels taken from a work of art is derivative or transformative. I would say neither again.

It's really gonna have to be on a case by case basis against other artists who might be trying to profit from work that infringes the copyright of another.

MewmewGrrl Aylar önce

This isn't about AI, but part of something you mentioned still reminds me of this old case I was reading about with a video game. The character creator in some superhero game was very detailed and let people create their characters that looked just like, well whatever they wanted? I looked it up, the info on Wikipedia: "In November, 2004, Marvel Comics filed a lawsuit against City of Heroes developer Cryptic Studios, publisher NCsoft, and game administrator NC Interactive (NCI), alleging that the game not only allowed, but actively promoted, the creation of characters who infringe copyrights and trademarks owned by Marvel." The information from that shows that they definitely didn't actively promote it. They actually went around changing any characters they saw that looked too much like a copyrighted character. But that had to do with people just having the tools to make what they wanted and some people made their characters look like copyrighted Marvel stuff.

Mr. Wallet Aylar önce

I talked to a couple people at Cryptic, apparently Marvel themselves created some accounts and then created a bunch of "infringing" characters themselves and submitted them as evidence that Cryptic wasn't doing enough to keep infringing player characters out of the game. Cryptic looked into the characters, traced the accounts back to Marvel and/or the legal team, and the judge got _super pissed_ at the plaintiff for such shenanigans.

Flannery's NoteBook Aylar önce

@Starrider Yes, "superhero" itself is an archetype, completely incapable of copyright protection. However, the issue isn't the archetype but the fact the tool was so versatile you could straight up make specific existing superheroes. That's what created the issue and that's why Marvel was required to take SOME action. (Though in retrospect I am shocked neither DC nor Dark Horse stepped in either? Maybe because Marvel was already litigating, so why waste your own money on something someone else is already solving for you?) And the issue is that since it's an MMO, someone could quite literally create Iron Man's design, name him Tony Stark, and then in the public chat start spreading white supremacy. Whether for better or for worse, the major companies would have needed to step in to protect the brands. It's not just an issue of making a design that looks similar... it's the power to make the character itself that they had an issue with.

@Flannery's NoteBook thank you for an interesting example! I think actually the problem here is that in our mind superheroes are a trope like "a knight", or "a witch". It comes with certain visual associations. Yet the difference is that the later were formed through centuries and there is no CR-owner of the look. Superman appeared less than a 100 years ago, others are even younger. So what we associate with "superheroes" is owned by DC, Marvel etc. They copy each other all the time and they had a lot of drama and lawsuits because of it. And I'm sure Homelander of The Boys had to figure this stuff out as well. A game that cuts these tropes into separate pieces had a great idea. But since people tend to experiment with the narrative they could build something too similar that wouldn't fit the representation of the character. It's hard to not see a strong flying white guy in a blue onesy and a red cape not as Superman. And it is potentially competing with Marvel for the same (games) market, so this is why they probably couldn't stay.

@Known as because you only keep IP rights if you adequately protect them. Especially Trademarks. Also, fan content can harm the company's reputation at times. Imagine if someone made your character in a game and just started dropping the N-word left and right. Sure, it's not an official representation but the human mind can't understand that. It would just know, "Spider-man kept using the N-Word," and would develop that association because contrary to popular thought--the human brain is really stupid.

It'd be interesting to hear your take on AI generation of voices and copyright. Right now many companies are trying to get voice actors to train AI voices to be used in perpetuity to use however they see fit. More commonly, they're slipping in clauses in contracts to use voice actors' likeness for future work so they don't have to call voice actors into the recording studio anymore. We're trying to fight back but the big companies that use this won't amend their contracts to remove the clause, leaving voice actors in a hard place of either staying and lose out on future work or walk and lose those particular jobs. We're definitely going to have to adapt to this change in the industry but we don't want to be replaced.

@Cesar You can make a sound that is similar to someones voice, yes. That applies to famous people too. If you artificially, from scratch, make a digital voice and are in no way, shape or form suggesting or implying a person with said voice being involved, then there's literally nothing that can happen to you. If you take a recording of a voice of ANYONE, regardless of whether they are famous or not, and then use THAT to 'teach' a computer to speak with that voice, then use that voice, then you can be sued. No fame is needed. A sound itself (even in the form of voice) cannot be copyrighted, but a specific voice taken from a person belongs to them specifically. You didn't prove anything at all. You only brought up something that doubles-down on what already applies to EVERY SINGLE PERSON in every country that has any sort of privacy protection laws in effect. Exactly because there are people as ignorant as you are about the law thinking that they can do anything unless it is explicitly stated for them. So there, the people that can actually be expected to be hurt through that mean are explicitly stated. That's all it does.

Great analysis! The idea that a style can be copyrighted is obviously silly but it's worrying how many anti-AI arguments come close to defending that.

It's essentially just a highly advanced character creator.

I was surprised with the comic having the copyright for it removed after it was given. My understanding though is that this is under appeal. Also even though an AI generator was used to create the work there was a lot of other steps that were involved that without question required human input. My understanding is the creator of that comic created original characters using a 3d modeling program, captured stills of them, fed them into an image edition and used a filter to make them look more like 2d digital illustrations, exported those pics, fed them into an AI generator (Stable Diffusion) as reference images, and type in the words to generate the desired images. The creator then took those images, arranged them as desired, and wrote the words within the comic. To me at least I would think that though an image generator was used that a lot of human impute and creativity was used before and after which you would think would be enough to constitute human authorship with the final product. I of course could be wrong about a couple things here since I am also a little busy but I don't mind being corrected if I am wrong especially if there is a linked source to back it up.

@Ian Wood Yup. I'm not a lawyer so I can't speak on what the law does or doesn't say. But I *am* an artist, computer scientist, and someone who's made both ai art and photographs. I'm absolutely confident that the ai art takes more effort than a photograph. It takes more creativity, skill, and effort. I can spend hours on ai art, whereas I can take an accidental photo in a split second. To say ai art takes less effort than a photo is a blatant lie. Just as a camera has settings, so do ai art tools. Just as you have to pick a subject to take a photo of, so too do you have to say what you want your art subject to be. Just as you have to "frame your shot" for a photo, so too must you do this for ai art. To compare high effort photography to low effort ai art is dishonest. As for the comic, there is no doubt that there was significant human effort in such a work. Because ai cannot currently generate entire comics. There still must have been significant human curation and effort to put it all together, at the very least.

People are forgetting that ai art doesn't come out of a vacuum.

This is why it's pretty ridiculous how many copyright claims against musicians for songs that sound similar. The "style" isn't copyrightable so they should in theory all be thrown out unless there is literal copy pasting of the notes which can be picked out by a computer.

skierpage Aylar önce

Prior to "Blurred Lines", in most copyright infringement lawsuits, the melody's notes are in fact the same intervals, and close to the same durations; furthermore, the chords providing harmony are often very similar. It's nothing to do with "picked out by computer" and copying the style of the music was usually not part of the plaintiff's legal argument. The problem with music is there only 12 notes, so in most cases, musicologists can point out songs with the same melody and chords that preceded both songs. However "Blurred Lines" is the exception that changes everything; the melody is not identical but Pharrell et al. clearly copied the feel of "Got to Give It Up" and surprisingly the Marvin Gaye estate won.

It seems like common sense that the distinction between fair use for academic research and what's become a profitable business model.

I think a lot of this shows that we have to completely rethink the whole copyright system. It is highly complex, has to often be decided on a case by case analysis (keeping courts busy and lawyers rich), and in some cases got blown out of proportion (e.g., why exactly is a work still copyrighted 75 years after the death of the original author?). However, depending on the changes done, we have to include a way to finance creative workers in the future (e.g. if copyright is no longer used or very limited, a lot of artists will not be able to monetize their work by selling copies). There are models for this, so it is not unthinkable. But again, this might open the discussion of the future of work in general, so I guess we will have to deal with this highly complex and sometimes absurd system for a while longer...

@LegalEagle my doctorate is in Machine Learning. The biggest issue facing us with legal definitions and regulations in this area is the misuse of the term AI in popular culture and the desire of researchers in the field to use terms that evoke a response from the public. The types of models we are discussing are really not that different from just linear regression, a line of best fit, new points of data synthsized on the manifold you have curve fit to your data. There is no intent, there is no sentience, there is no intelligence. All of that is anthropomorphisation by people. If I took financial data that was under a license I did not have permission to use, and I used it to make a model and generate predictions so I could generate revenue I think it would be pretty clear where I had crossed the line. The fact that it is art, or writing, or the appearance of a conversational agent is a distraction. You are all missing the point because the term AI is evokative. This is a very simple discussion about data licensing when you wash away all the noise and rhetoric and realize it's just linear regression in higher dimensions.

This brings up a point not addressed in the video, however, and where the Devin didn't quite seem to understand what's happening with the material going into the machine learning process. I'll leave aside images for the moment, because that's a bit more complex, but let's look at machine learning on text. The original texts are fed into the usual neural network training process which produces a new neural network that's been trained on the data. However, after this point the original texts can be thrown away; what is left is the trained neural network which, to my understanding, does not contain direct copies of any of the original text (beyond fragments such as words and perhaps phrases, if even that). So if you gave a copyright owner a copy of the data that embody the trained neural network and asked them to find their original text anywhere in these data, they would not be able to do so. Is there a copyright violation here? Seemingly not; copyright protects the _form,_ not the _ideas,_ and while the source ideas might be argued to be in those data, they are certainly not there in anything like the original form. It's unlikely in most systems that you could even find a way to get the neural network to reproduce the original work. So is this a correct view of what's happening in at least some cases? Note that this is a very different case from your example of generating predictions from financial data; there you are using a copy of the original financial data, and the original form of the data you used could easily be produced from your copy.

Speaking of Copyright and Mickey Mouse, can you talk on how Disney will lobby Congress to change copyright law again so that Mickey Mouse will not fall into the public domain this year? I feel that when policy is made to handle copyright on AI generated content that there will be a rider attached to the bill that will somehow extend Disney's copyright over Mickey Mouse. If you could do a video on this, that would be awesome!

@Zhou Fang Some other countries have longer time spans than the US under the very same international treaties, so potentially, Disney could lobby congress to keep up with those other countries. But otherwise they have the perpetual option of trademarking certain recognizable visual or word features of Mickey and maintaining it by publishing new products (not necessarily new art) with those trade markings. For example they could regularly publish new issues of the printed Mickey Mouse magazine with Mickey on the front page and new random selections of old Comic strips inside, and that would count as actively using the trademark to distinguish their genuine products from competing garbage. This would legally be the same as Rolex using their trade mark name and logo to distinguish their watches from any other watches from the same contract factory.

SALeydolt Aylar önce

@Zhou Fang unfortunately congressional lobbying is legal in the United States, also last time there was heavy lobbying and like I said I believe they will try to put it though as a rider on another bill to avoid the public eye. I just highly doubt that Disney will allow Mickey to fall into the public domain quietly

Zhou Fang Aylar önce

@SALeydolt that's (a) illegal (b) sure wasn't how they went about it last time round and (c) counterproductive because selling the idea to the public is a big part of their efforts.

The thing I hate most about Disney trying so hard to keep Mickey Mouse out of the public domain, is that Disney's whole animated empire is based off of stories from the public domain. It is just so hypocritical for them to skirt public domain when so much of thier empire was built on it's back.

We are talking about an online scenario, so going outside of the US's and UK's law would be extremely helpful. I realise you studied law in the US, so what are some law channels from other parts of the world that may or may not have differing legal views on the situation at hand?

StupidButCunning Aylar önce

I worry about companies hiring artists to create a series of work, but specify in the contract that any rights to the works created for the company are for the company to use in any way as they see fit. I believe this is often already the case, but taking this a step further would mean that the company could just feed the work into an A.I. generator and create all future works they require in a similar style at a fraction of the cost. This would effectively screw the original artist out of an otherwise consistent income.

I watched the corridor digital video and they talked about a noising and denoising step. Basically re-creating the image in a way that's is different enough in detail but close enough in essence. Instead of using noise if a human did a reinterputation of some sort, I think the new work would be fair use and later the images generated by the model trained on that image should be too. I am guessing a lot will rely on if a non-human entity can re-create a original (non-copyrightable) image from an existing one

During your explanation of photography being copyright-able it sounded a lot like AI art generation (settings, composition, etc). I bet there's an interesting argument to be made that the person(s) who built the AI have the copyrights.

Writing the prompts, selecting the parameters, and making a template image for image to image also makes a strong case for the person generating the image. Also what if they take it to Photoshop and makes changes to it there?

@therabbithat I don't think artists that have made comissions that contain copyrighted characters or something generally pay the copyright holder anything, so I'm not sure why taking a publicly available image would require it.

Simon Buchan Aylar önce

@therabbithat define "use". At least in the case of Stable Diffusion (the one we have the full description of how it works) the data set LAION creates a fancy thumbnail when it "uses" the actual image (so likely under fair use) collapsing 200tb of source images and related text to a 6tb data set, training a Stable Diffusion model "uses" all of those fancy thumbnails thousands of times each to create a 5gb model describing all the internal associations between small and large arrangements of pixels and between pixels and text losing any specific associations with act particular work, which is a "new purpose" defense if I've ever heard one, then generating an image feeds random noise through that model weighted by your input text - "using" of any particular work sounds impossible to define (let alone implement) and most likely would end up with the "use" spread like butter over toast over every image in the dataset, which would likely be below the bar of meaningful infringement in each case. Current copyright law just doesn't seem to be your friend here. If you want to protect art commissions, I suggest talking to a politician, not a lawyer. But first, figure out what that law change should be, and to do that figure out what ai image generation actually is and does so it's an implementable law.

Lauren pins channels Aylar önce

@Cesar that's what you'd hope, but it is not in fact the case that ai is in any way free of bias of its creators. the dataset used encodes their bias, and then the ai happily slurps that bias up and runs with it.

Jacob Paint Aylar önce

It seems that the “complex collage” idea might be a determining factor. Could I take pieces of artworks and create a new image? Would it depend on how large the pieces were? What if I took thousands of pieces of various artworks then arranged them to resemble another artists work? Is it a “complex collage” if the AI is comparing several works by an artist to determine consistent parameters then applying them to apply things like colour, measurement, spacing and texture to new subject matter? eg. Creating a colour palette and rendering a portrait with the same type of brush strokes is not that far removed from what is done in drawing apps anyway. Although specific colour palettes within the apps are probably copyrighted, you could potentially sample the colours elsewhere and recreate the colour palette manually and the work you produce won't infringe copyright law (unless they could somehow prove that you deliberately copied those colours)

Kafke Aylar önce

AI art is not a collage of any kind. If that's the determining factor, then ai art is 100% okay. NO existing art is used in the generation of ai art. None whatsoever.

Jo Aylar önce

I know it is not *technically* illegal to do that, but I feel like most artists (that is, individual, self employed artists, I do not think this is the case for corporatized art) would politely but firmly tell you to get lost, because that feels like something the artist might get sued for

Leto2ndAtreides Aylar önce

One assumes that most AI image creators wouldn't bother mentioning the hand of AI when they go to copyright it - now that the law has ruled in that direction. There was a recent law review that focused on the transformative nature of the work - taking inspiration without strongly mimicking, is almost always allowed.

Because copyright is done on a case by case basis, I feel like it needs to move onto a more objective approach such as an algorithm comparing the two works and determining if there is something like a more than 90% likeness or whatever arbitrary threshold you could consider to be a copy, since it could be done before a work is even published.

The comic book story is interesting, because I assume there is some level of curation there, separating the wheat from the chaff, and that curation makes it the work of a human being. If nothing else, the prompt is the work of a human being, meaning there is creative work, done by a human being, which is then processed by a machine, resulting in a unique work that would logically belong to the human being as the author of the prompt. At what point does a photoshop filter strip copyright from a work?

@AncientDirtbag It was Fogerty. CCR's label claimed Fogerty's "The Old Man Down the Road" was too similar to CCR's "Run Through the Jungle."

Thankfully Fogerty won, and he was eventually able to recover all of his legal fees too after a countersuit.

The entire system is broken' and failing, and will continue to fail.

JMcAfreak Aylar önce

What you described about others putting your photos through a filter is actually a blatant case of copyright infringement. Those filtered photos are directly derivative of your copyrighted works. The statute of limitations on copyright infringement is three years after the last action. If someone's selling infringing works, that's 3 years since the last sale. If the infringing work is on display on a website, it's 3 years after the image is taken down. So you might want to start writing some cease and desists if infringement is still ongoing, and talk to a lawyer if infringement (sale, distribution, or display) happened within the last 3 years.

As far as I know, the _real_ problem that’s been surfacing with AI Art is the uprising ambiguity between genuine and generated content; One infamous case had an artist’s content removed because it resembled AI-generated content. It’s gotten to the point where people have begun to train _themselves_ on how to spot the quirks of AI-generated content so that they aren’t fooled by it. One particular AI-generated piece was able to win against its organic competitors in a freaking _contest!_

I've always thought of myself as a great mimic writer. I've written scenes of works like Firefly and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which have very unique narrative voices, and my work is almost indistinguishable from the original in terms of style. It's an ability I'm proud of but also I've always thought of as useless in misg senses. If only I was an artist of a visual medium, apparently, this skill would actually be worth something! Of course, there is less of a call for me to write a scene that perfectly mimics, say, RDJ as Tony Stark when you can't use the character of Tony Stark, but there you go.
