What if I hired a human artist to hand draw the fake instead? What if they used Photoshop instead of drawing from a reference?

What if they used Photoshop instead of drawing from a reference?
- bighead 3y agothats still a problem, don't you see it?
- brucethemoose2 3y agoHow can that possibly be enforced though? You can't really stop people from drawing or photoshopping stuff for personal use, and this is essentially a further extension of the technology.
- bobthepanda 3y agoPeople can, and do sue for that successfully. The fact that a small problem exists does not negate the existence of a larger problem.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoOnly if its published, or commercialized, right? Yeah, widely publishing or making money off of someone's likeness is a whole different can of worms. I was thinking for strictly personal use.
- bobthepanda 3y agoPresumably a16z is not investing in a company for personal use.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoWell that is worrying. Right now CivitAI is basically Stable Diffusion social media. It doesn't seem profitable at all, even of they are selling user data or getting subs or whatever. But if they start charging for downloads or whatever, they may cross a line into making money off likeness, and not just "hosting user content" like Facebook and Twitter and any oldschool image hosting service gets to say they do.
- dragonwriter 3y agoNonconsensual porn laws generally aren't restricted to commercial use, and some include fake images with intentional and recognizable use of likeness (some also don't, its a mixed bag.) Yes, commercial use of likeness is also an issue, and it may or may not be violated simply by distribution of something use the likeness on a commercial website like civitai.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoWon't section 230 cover the former?
- dragonwriter 3y agoSection 230 might cover right of publicity claims for an innocent host or user, but not for the user submitting the content. Revenge porn laws are generally criminal, and as such unaffected by Section 230.
