Why do we make analogies to people? Machines have no rights of expression or inherent freedoms. There is no "learning", we're not "teaching" the machine anything. It boils down to heuristics and statistics. Imagine we're in the 1930s with no computers: If I were to study every every Agatha Christie book and write my own based on statistical likelihoods of words, characters, plot elements etc. I would be seen as a copy-cat hack-fraud author or worse. If I were to take inspiration of the crime/thriller/detective genre and write my own story in my own universe then I would be simply an author within the same genre.
ChatGPT/"ML" copy the fine details. We're getting artists signatures turn up in generated work... That's not inspiration, and I would argue not even transformative.
- Manuel_D 4y agoIf you want to get pendantic, the human brain ultimately functions off heuristics and inputs. Again, references are not copied, they are used to inspire and guide new artwork. Even artists producing totally original artwork use references.
- CuriouslyC 4y agoThat is because the AI doesn't have enough context knowledge to distinguish prominent signatures from stylistic flourish or a thing being represented in the painting. The generated signatures themselves are usually very different, though in some cases they can come very close to the original artist signature when properly prompted for artists with "big" signatures. Better image part tagging will solve this.
