A human looking at someone’s artwork is “training a model”. It’s bullshit and anti progressive to say someone or something that is creating derivative works is stealing.
- leeoniya 3y agonot stealing the work, just stealing the revenue...for very little investment. > A human looking at someone’s artwork is “training a model sure, except that model often takes months or years to train (wall clock years, not 1000-core cpu-years). and the end result is not a human that can stamp out new/competing artwork every 100ms. for any kind of creative/performance/art work, these are watershed times. us coders are not super far behind.
- Retric 3y agoThe second half of derivative worlds is creating an imitation of the original not just looking at it, but this isn’t some grey area. Even just training the model requires someone to copy the original work from somewhere and store it into a database to use to train the model. If they don’t have permission to make that copy then it’s commercial copyright infringement independent of anything done by the model after that point. Thus the companies themselves are frequently breaking the sale even if nobody ever uses these systems.
