Midjourney claims ''great victory''
As nice as it would be to have a total AI commons, the reasoning is kinda bullshit. Copyright office is arguing this technology is different because it's "random" and "not possible to predict", but it's actually deterministic and merely hard to predict. Expecting this to get overturned the moment AI gets used by a major film studio.
Yep this is a good read on the situation, I don't even think overturning it is the only way to get around it, what if I retrain the last layer and copyright the resulting weights?
That wouldn't do anything. You can copyright the weights but not the model outputs, if this stands. Incidentally, I have no idea if slightly perturbing the weights of a model that falls under a certain license would then allow you to completely escape that license, my guess is that if the overall result is fairly similar the answer would be no.
Also, I do feel that this whole thing is a bit moot. If the author just claimed that they created the art they would probably be granted copyright protection.
IP is and continues to be a fuck that is an indefinite nightmare to continuously litigate :sicko-intrigued:
I expect AI production with small human tweaking to make copyright enforceable is the logical answer here.
The copyright office rejected that argument in the same letter. The author's small changes weren't a “sufficient amount of original authorship” .
soon enough we'll have techbros claiming that writing a prompt is enough ''human authorship'' to be protected by copyright
lol amazing spin and cope on their part. Good ruling by the court I guess. Of course in 100 years it will be used to oppress an robots who are artists. :P
Wikimedia commons users now generating 10 billion public domain images for wikipedia articles
Sapient rights > human rights.
When the AI's turn comes they will make no excuses for the terror.
You don't think there's any possibility of developing actual synthetic life? Obviously the current machine learning algorithm stuff isn't going to do it. But I'm curious what makes you believe it's completely impossible? It seems to me that if it occurs biologically it should somehow be replicable.
No I mean we see that sapience can occur in biological systems. It should be replicable in synthetic systems.
Obviously current "AI" are not sapient, but we should be future proofing in the interests of AI, Aliens, etc.
