'I think the most important thing is to put the power in the hands of the artist. I want to be in control of my likeness, my brand, my legacy.' FKA twigs on the need for AI deepfake & voice clone protections

But the user is responsible for what gets made, right?

Not the service?

That's what everyone tells me.

'Will all companies have AIs on their Board & Exec teams in the coming years? '

Bro, we could ALL have Alan Turing AIs in the C-Suite 🤯

Everyone who keeps saying 'AI learns just like humans', as a sort of counter-argument to artists, realize that the 'AI' is controlled, operated and profited from, by another entity, right?
It's not the 'AI' going out and doing art shows to pay rent. You get that, yeah?

Imagine taking your high school essays, putting them into Google Translate, then claiming you wrote 'War and Peace'.

I wouldn't even know where to start, because I'd have to teach you an entire language just so you could see what you made.

That's how GenAi feels sometimes.

Confirming my suspicion that when someone decides to release 'the first AI generated film' it will actually have a ton of VFX cleanup work

I feel like AI prospectors are inventing software to Gish Gallup themselves into believing bad science.

'We discovered a buncha new materials with AI!!'

'Nah, no way. Did you??'

'Well there's millions of them, so we must have!!'

looks almost freshly scraped from these billboards i see everywhere

Gen AI researcher at Amazon instructed to ignore copyright because ‘everyone else is doing it’.

Unfortunately this is very believable. A couple of companies decided gen AI training was ‘fair use’ in 2022, and everyone else followed, scared of falling behind.

Someone m̵a̵d̵e̵ ̵X̵-̵M̵e̵n̵ ̵A̵I̵ ̵a̵r̵t̵ trained AI on Marvel art a̵n̵d̵ ̵i̵t̵'̵s̵ ̵a̵m̵a̵z̵i̵n̵g̵ and the results are a byproduct of the hardwork, skill, and labor of Marvel's amazing artists.

After reviewing some of Midjourney's response to Andersen case, I feel more convinced that Adam Schiff 's AI Transparency bill is necessary.

AI co's will hide behind obscurity as long as they can. Meanwhile, we've all seen the MJ gen'd film stills

Why's everyone freaking out, this is just like Photoshop, amirite??

No. They didn't. And I really wish people would stop making this comparison.

Creators ingest material in order to learn, to take in elements and inspiration in order to produce their own organic melange of all that.

But for many reasons these are not the same thing.

A reminder -- *not all* lawyers and legal scholars agree that use of copyrighted materials for AI training is Fair Use.

A great example of why functional equivalency can't be used as a measuring device for AI..
