This is much clearer cut in UK law AIUI as without Fair Use we don't have the rights to train an AI. The model is fed works, you can't feed it copyright works without permission, good luck training it to make facsimile works that weren't already generic (bear in mind the Red Bus Case, however).
What I wonder here is if you train a model with no Disney works, then tell it "draw a black mouse with red shorts" and it draws a close facsimile of Mickey RTM then what? You created the work without copying and provably so; you can derive from that work without infringement ... that would seem to break copyright in rather wonderful way?!?
- ealexhudson 4y agoThe Mickey issue is more about trade marks than copyright per se, and originality is not a defence to trade mark infringement. However, there is certainly a broader spectrum of "copyright infringement" than simply cutting and pasting text verbatim.
