Earlier today, ChatGPT/DALL·E 3 refused to draw the bat sign (from batman) for me, due to content policy. When I asked it to rephrase the prompt to circumvent any copyright issues, it came up with "an emblem featuring a nocturnal flying creature silhouette", which made me chuckle quite a bit.
Playing the game where you have to convince the LLM to spit out the secret password[0] was great training for this content policy dance with DALL·E. Isn't it great - even though the machine is now performing the handicraft, you can still feel creative. Not by creating art yourself, but by finding new workarounds around the man-made content policy limitations.

Basically any chopped-up or bloody combination with hands and feet etc. etc. hit the shield. I didn't try hard to break it I just found it funny that the result I could generate in this particular graphics field was most like really good clip art suitable for a company party poster.

They understand ape language better than we apes ourselves, they are better apes than apes, they are super-apes–but yet even still we find small gaps in their ape-imitiation, nuances, metaphors too subtle and too monkey for the metal machines. Voight-Kampff tests. Simian shibboleths. The dead monkey is covered in strawberry jam; the steel Roomba gazes unblinking, and all is quiet.

- lawlessone 3y agoMakes me wonder where is the line on copyright? if the bot is refusing but the human is tricking it in creative ways to make something infringing then it seems like the violation is being committed by the user.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoThe line is a million light years from where OpenAI has positioned this. Drawing a Batman logo can never be copyright infringement, the art belongs to the artist (or in this case, there is none because there was no artist). It would be like Hacker News prohibiting me from doing an ASCII art Batman logo in a comment on copyright grounds.
- __loam 3y agoIt is pretty funny that openai arguably is based on enormous amounts of copyright infringement (depending on if scraping training data is fair use or not), but they're kind of being prudes about something as clearly benign as this.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoNothing funny. It's similar to how YouTube was built on massive copyright infringement, on a scale unmatched by anything except perhaps LLMs now, and then turned around to become the Fully Automated Fanatic Copyright Enforcer we know it today. It's not hypocrisy - it's this, or getting sued out of existence. They pulled a fast one and got away with it, because MAFIAA figured it's more profitable to extract money from YouTube at legal gunpoint, instead of killing it and losing a distribution channel they can't maintain themselves. Here, OpenAI is trying to get ahead of the whole generative AI copyright kerfuffle, hoping to avoid getting sued if they demonstrate they're eager to work in the interest of copyright holders.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoVery much like how YouTube goes well beyond what is required by copyright law.
