For instance, Nintendo has entries in the artist DB - those affected by Japanese law may care:
> Japan’s new guidelines also sketch out pathways to protect artists’ work, but the legalities can quickly get dense. An aggrieved artist will have to prove that a commercially sold, AI-generated piece of art has “similarity” with their own work.
> “If a company isn’t careful, artists can sue or demand compensation if their work is used to create parts of commercial products.”
They can show the work’s “reliance on an existing image,” according to Taichi Kakinuma, an AI-focused partner at the law firm Storia. The fastest way to prove this is with evidence that the work was used as training data. But since training data sets are not publicly disclosed, they may have no knowledge of its use, let alone be able to secure evidence
- artninja1988 3y agoSounds like propoyed laws crafted by those in power clinging desperately to their control in fear of becoming opsolete. At the end of the day, there is no theft, no matter the pearl clutching moral outrage by those who want to keep some false artificial scarcity for their benefit.
- iterateoften 3y agoGovernments around the world have enforced artificial scarcity for centuries. Continuing to do so would be nothing new. It takes resources and time to produce something unique that people want. For centuries governments have offered patents, licenses and protections for individuals so that people would continue to innovate, create something new and move the world forward. Will people continue to do so knowing that at a moments notice someone will rip you off? Time will tell but for me personally I stopped publishing my side projects because why should I work hard for hundreds of hours just so Microsoft and AI companies can make more money using my work without giving me an ounce of credit? Copyright came into being because of the printing press making things to easy to replicate. If the current laws don’t protect works sufficiently history says more laws will be written that do rather than things will be a free for all.
