Fair use isn’t a loophole, it is copyright law.

Here’s a video explaining how diffusion models work, and this article by Kit Walsh, a senior staff attorney at the EFF.

Your comment made my day. Thanks.

Anyone spreading this misinformation and trying gatekeep being an artist after the avant-garde movement doesn’t have an ounce of education in art history. Generative art, warts and all, is a vital new form of art that’s shaking things up, challenging preconceptions, and getting people angry - just like art should.

Entertainment.

Their policy could never stop anyone in the first place.

Good.

Using copyrighted works without permission isn’t illegal and shouldn’t be. You should check out this article by Kit Walsh, a senior staff attorney at the EFF, and this open letter by Katherine Klosek, the director of information policy and federal relations at the Association of Research Libraries.

I have a feeling this experiment would sooner get the axe than have ads injected. There was initially a waiting list, but just a few days in it was completely open to the public.

Sometimes they just do research. Like when their employees made transformers and nothing came of them until Open AI capitalized on it.

There are ads in them now? I didn’t encounter any when using it a few days ago.

I just generated one and didn’t hear any ads.

Someone dumb enough could easily flatten someone backing up with that bug.

As long as your AI doesn’t somehow infringe on your training data, you’re allowed to use whatever you want, just like reviewers, analysts, and indexers do.

They’re trained on technical material too.

Or just not show people what you’re typing.

They’re not wearing the eye protection.

Art isn’t work, it’s speech. It’s part of the human condition. Art is useless, said Wilde. Art is for art’s sake—that is, for beauty’s sake.

I do not make art, I just post it here on lemmy. I’d be OK with that. People freely create, copy, and iterate on memes, and they are the greatest cultural touchstones we have. First and foremost, people create because they have something to say.

People already make memes and mods for free. Humans are a social species and will continue to create and share things until the end of time. Making money off of creation is a privilege for only a tiny few.
