        Thousands of artists are running other people's work through their brain and taking money for the result without any meaningful input from their end, and that is fine as far as copyright is considered. Actually we should ban layers from photoshop so people can't trace other artists precious poses that they traced from someone else.

        With the AI, however, you're just running other artists' images through some equations. It's effectively no different from putting a filter over some other images

        >muh equation
        Unless you believe that your brain is literally magic all it's doing is running the input from your senses through an entirely algorithmic process that can be expressed with nothing more than the laws of physics.
        The only fundamental difference between you and an algorithm is that the algorithm doesn't think it's special.

          I'm not trying to talk philosophy here. I'm just pointing out that using AI art for commercial use wouldn't hold up in a court of law. Regardless of your personal feelings on the matter, AIs are not placed on the same level as human beings in the law's eyes. I'm talking about copyright law here. I don't believe that AI art qualifies as fair use as a human isn't the ones making the art, but rather other people's art is just put through a complex series of equations

            I recommend you to look at the akilah Hughes vs Carl Benjamin case. The latter literally mashed together clips from the former's video, gave it a new title, and that was enough from a judges perspective to not only be considered fair use, but such an obvious example of fair use that Carl Benjamin was able to counter sue to clawback almost $40k in legal fees. The AI simply automates a similar process which itself isn't relevant to whether or not its been "transformed enough". With existing case law like and the real possibility of artgays getting counter sued for money they don't have, your kind are really facing an uphill battle here especially considering that big tech companies will most definitely pour millions to hire top tier law teams to defend their cash cows. Even if you can find some case law that supports your side, in gray areas like this, money wins at the end of the day.

    who cares? I'd rather have good AI than care about people sperging about whether it learned how to create said good artwork using their work
    they just don't want to be replaced by AI so they try to slow down what is inevitable regardless

    yeah pretty soon someone is going to start making significant money ripping off some artist, and it'll end up in court, gets punted to the supreme or cjeu, which rules that yes that certainly is an abuse of the law, followed by either rewriting the current law through precendent, aka legislating from the bench (ussc) or new laws (eu)

    it's certainly more blatant than sampling in EDM, and that's not legal

        The AI is doing a "transformative effort" as well.
        There is no reason to believe there is any magic in the human brain.
        The AI is learning in a way similar to that which a human would learn.
        If a reasonable person would artistically deem the output image to be independent of the training image, it stands to reason that it would cease to be derivative.

            Where do you draw the line on "equation" complexity? Do chocolates sampling music in hip hop count as transformative? Or are they not as complex as yourself.

            The human brain, when drawing, is just passing a lifetime of preexisting images through a filter and then regurgitating it onto a canvas.
            >AIs don't "think" the way humans do. You can't really equate the two here
            If the art passes the Turing test, there is no way to empirically determine that there is any difference.

              My guy, AIs do not have sentience. They are not making any deliberate decisions in the same way a human would make in the creative process. There is no comparing the two here

                Anonymous

                If humans have sentience, AIs have sentience. What you call the creative process is just the unfolding of DNA predestinating you to become what you were always biologically programmed to become. Our environment and ourselves are one in the same, an ebb in the flow of evolution and programming.

                It was a rhetorical thought provoking sentence. Also, at some point, I think AIs deserve rights too, but not yet, though at some point they should, when an evil scientist unironically makes them into autonomous super weapons.

    This is a sub-zero IQ take. Every time you reference something else, you use it as a "template." Any fan-art image of a video game character uses that company's IP as a "template."

    That said, some of the stuff you can create with AI is so directly derivative of existing works that an "actual" artist that would create it traditionally would absolutely get shit for it, and the AI creation should as well -- the AI CREATION, not the AI itself. So the challenge in using it for any kind of commercial purpose on the long run will be the ability to make sure it is not too close to an existing work. The simplest way to achieve this is to make sure it references as wide an array of artists as possible to make sure it won't readily replicate anything extant -- which is the polar opposite of what seems to be going on.

    The absolute stupidest thing is that we already went through this shit a hundred years ago when referencing photographs became commonplace.

    Almost all art ever is the culmination of generations of prior artists. The artists of today are being fricking inconsiderate and self-centered thinking that now their stupid tumblr fan art is special and no-one can be allowed learn from it.
