I'm reminded that a similar problem happened when Photoshop and scanners were new: people assumed that if they scanned something, it was theirs to do with as they pleased. Litigants were confused by the technology.
But eventually society caught up. It will soon become obvious even to those who now are dazzled by this new technology that everything produced by an AI trained on copyrighted work without permission is copyright infringement.

- rendall 3y agoDon't be confused by the word "learning" there. People learn and machines learn, but these are two separate concepts referring to two distinct and different processes. In short, no, a script kiddie cannot train an AI model on the hard-won effort of an illustrator and then reasonably claim to have "learned" how to draw in that style. It's intellectual property theft, conflation of "learn" notwithstanding.
