Holy crap that’s wild. So someone was convicted for copying a photographer’s work? That’s really difficult to prove in the US. Artists influence each other all the time.
I agree that techbros copying should be paying for the rights btw.
That’s not how AI works. It isn’t like copying and pasting previous patterns exactly. It is a compressed (kind of representation) of the original. Similar to how our memories work. Imagine the mona lisa, you can probably imagine key features, eyes, nose, hair smile. But you probably don’t remember every detail of the background. Models don’t store the exact original. So it isn’t technically plagiarism.
Now can you argue that it is? Maybe, but a model not trained to specifically recreate the mona lisa is very unlikely to produce a replica of it but it “knows” features of the mona lisa. So it could apply a similar smile or look to another “known” set of faces.
If a painter has seen a photograph and later blindly creates a similar image that isn’t plagiarism, is it? Maybe I am wrong.
They are good at making their rich friends richer and burning through reserves/resources. They are also good at making racists feel heard. That combo has been very good for them
Suddenly all the kids have old flip phones to deposit into the Phone locker.
If only we had invested in renewables we could power all the AI we could ever want…
So just UDP?
He’s just turned on, doc is right.
The only reasonable response is:
DO IT, MOTHERFUCKER!
Stop trying to reason with this clown.
