What is “copyright whitewashing”? I’ve never heard that phrase before.
- wahnfrieden 3y agothey mean laundering IP theft
- weinzierl 3y agoExactly, laundering was what I meant, I mistranslated from German.
- ethbr0 3y agoImagine a machine that takes in copyrighted works and, with the press of a button, outputs works which are substantially similar but not copyrighted. Copyright whitewashing. (I.e. pointing to your black box and claiming it's a clean room)
- numpad0 3y agoBut to reiterate existing talking points, using copyrighted works for AI weight generation is exactly the same thing as how human artists learn skills just because some people refer to the process as “learning” or “training”, and any counterarguments to this are meaningless fearmongering outdated Luddite rages, besides such uses are fair uses and transformative uses and explicitly allowed in some jurisdictions under specific terms not allowing blanket rights to regurgitation so it’s all lawful and financially fully exploitable. forwardslash sierra.

- chii 3y ago> which are substantially similar but not copyrighted. if it's considered substantially similar, then why is it not copyrighted? The difference must also be substantial. Therefore, it should be acceptable as a new works, rather than a derivative works.
