AI is not a human. It doesnt learn or get inspiration. It’s software that ingests data. There’s nothing human about it.
Even if it were, humans cant just steal tiny bits of other people’s work, reassemble it and call it something new. It would be like stealing a thousand paintings, cropping tiny bits out of each and making a “new” painting. It would still be made of stolen bits even if there are millions of such bits that mixed anew resemble none of the originals.
- mock-possum 3y agoIn your painting example though, surely the end result would be far too obviously transformative to ever be in any danger of accusations of copyright infringement, copying, piracy, stealing, or any of that? I mean look at Madeon’s Pop Culture song - wouldn’t “stealing tiny bits of other people’s work; reassembling it and calling it something new” describe it pretty completely? Except that track is a masterwork in the mashup genre. The bits aren’t ‘stolen’ they’re just ‘used’ and the entire concept of the song revolves around them being immediately recognizable.
