Just because it's on twitter doesn't mean it's true. I think a court setting where things are contemplated in a rigorous and reasoned way has a somewhat better chance of arriving at something resembling the truth.
We've been here before several times: Silhouette painting, Photography, Airbrushing, Pianos, Synthesizers, Sampling, Photoshop, Ray Tracing, and many more. "It's not real art", "they're stealing from us", "we'll go hungry!" .
Some of these are already quite old. For others, I've actually been asked the question back when I was in school: "Are you really making music if your instrument has a microprocessor in it?". Um, yes, yes I claim I am making music thank you very much.
First people complain, then they adapt, and then they end up making awesome art with the new tools and/or instruments. Which isn't to say historically it was all rainbows and roses, but it was never the end of the world either. Seeing the newer generation of AI tools and how the tools end up getting integrated into regular workflows, it seems to be going the same direction.
To quote the song, I think it's "all just little bits of history repeating".

- EnergyAmy 3y agoI guess enjoy rejecting modern life. We're going to see an explosion of new works from people using these new tools in creative ways. I'm sure you'll say that you don't want anything to do with AI-generated art, but that will soon mean avoiding just about every new work.
- kranke155 3y agoI have nothing against AI-generated art. It's the usage of unlicensed images and text in their training data that I have an issue with. If you wrote a book or made a painting, GPT-4 should pay for the rights to read or look at it.
- EnergyAmy 3y agoWhat you're wishing for won't achieve what you want. You'd then be complaining because OpenAI bought one copy of every book, and authors can't survive on one sale alone. It doesn't really matter though. The models that exist today aren't going away, and future work will just be built on top of their output, tainting every model forevermore from your perspective. I suggest you adapt to the new way of things and enjoy the ride.
- kranke155 3y agoWe are discussing a court case that has the potential to shape future endeavours in the area. Buying one copy is certainly better than 0. But I doubt rights holders would be satisfied with that.
- MacsHeadroom 3y agoRights holders would be in the wrong to be dissatisfied. This entire issue has been done to death in the courts over scanned library books and dozens of other media used after first sale. Copyright is archaic and holding humanity, and especially creatives, back.

- Kim_Bruning 3y agoEh? I don't feel clever. I feel tired.Some of this is personal experience. It's the same every time. Including "but this time it's different".
