He he the machine learning naysayers gonna jump on this one for sure. Consider a human being designing a scifi styled font; how do they get started? By opening references, of course! To examples of other scifi styled fonts that they do not have the rights to, nor will they credit. Also consider another human being designing a scifi styled font; but instead one that is not allowed to reference the work of anybody else, as some argue machine learning models ought to do. This human being has no references to open, they have not seen any scifi media, be it movies or posters or fonts or anything else. How can they create something like this without any reference at all to it? If a human being creates a scifi font, and their inspiration is not references to other scifi fonts but instead, I don't know, a general concept of the "vibe" they got from watching Blade Runner, must they credit Blade Runner for the inspiration? Must they pay the owner of the Blade Runner rights for their use of ideas from Blade Runner?
