Many kiddos who grew up with very water-resistant electronics seem very casual about submerging their phones... while us oldies who feared a single drop getting into our stuff still worry.

It's great that human artists learn from, & introduce into their work, influences other than just patterns seen in other works. But it's also great that AI artists can learn from more examples in a few minutes than a human a

'Ad' doesn't require persuasion to purchase anything. Ads for political candidates (urging you to vote) & many causes (urging you to change other behaviors) are still ads. Often such ads are donated, with no payment for p

I think your hypothetical would depend on the character & extent of the transformation. Mere filters that leave the original recognizable? Probably an infringement. But creative application of transformations to express new ideas? Maybe

The synergistic effect of all the AI's inputs absolutely results in a unique new 'flair', with extensions, reversals, and mash-ups of styles just as in human-made artistic styles. And AI "builds exclusively on past exper

Given the iterative contribution of a artistically-talented human prompter, I'm not sure that precedent – set by the Copyright Office in the US, rather than a clear statute or court decision – will hold up. A court might decide differe

I've often seen people show off their autogenerated images and report only approximate paraphrases of their actual prompts. There's one screenshot showing the prompt – but in $CURRENT_YEAR, I view all screenshots with at least a l

Autogenerated, often fantastical, never-seen-before AI images strike me as a paradigmatically 'transformative' use. It's novel. It's shocking to many practicioners how flexible & high-quality the images can be. It wi

Whether something is directly competing for the same business would have to be evidenced, and copyright doesn't mean protection from all possible competition - it's just one factor weighed. And fair use protects many commercial

Also, a construction like 'but' that tries to override another expectation may be suboptimal. I gave the same concept a few tries, with more 'sweeteners'. First batch, for prompt "news photo of the King of Belgium g

As I see it, 3 of the 4 tests are strongly in OpenAI's favor; the 'market effect' is mixed. (1) The use is highly transformative; (2) the images used were offered to the anonymous browsing public (with watermarks); (3) the en

You may want to use the native 'Share' option, especially on the one with the watermark. You'll get a public link, at `labs.openai.com` rather than some random image-sharing site, which will show the image & the prompt us

Of course people are more likely to share the best iamges – or in this case, the one most illustrative of their concern (about watermarks). Also: my sense is that getting the best results often requires a lot of extra coaching with style&#x

Sadly, that slideshow presentation has made HTML even worse than a PDF, in this case.

And, this is just one of many examples of a deep, deep dishonesty at the core of Twitter Inc's operations: Pretending they're not requiring something when in practice, a giant proportion of their userbase faces it. Pretending anyt

The problem is that even the "what we can see people doing" test is slippery. It tends to start as "what we see all people, even young children doing". But then when an agent surpasses, it changes to "what we see mo

I'm not particularly surprised that official DALL-E & unofficial DallE-Mini went different directions with the same input, as they're different-sized models with different training sets. Below a certain level of complexity, pe

In many of its outputs, it's doing far more than stretching, and essentially rotating new entities into scene-appropriate relationships. True, it has some problems fully abstracting, and then logically-enforcing, some object-to-object

Indeed - the 'cadence of English' prompt reminds me of Latin, or some other foreign-litany that's nonetheless repeated to an audience that's not following every word. And ~IIAOPSW has used real word-roots, hinting at mea

I've not tested this, but I suspect you can get DALLE to create pictures that humans are more likely to describe as 'nonsense' by adding 'nonsense' or 'nonsensical' to the prompt. That'd indicate that

Huh? That's a bit abstract, can you clarify?

If you give humans gobbledygook input – say a Rorschach blot, or some random syllables – and ask them to describe what it makes them think of, or generate art from it, many will do so quite competently. They'll find some morsels of fra

There's a lot of people who make this same argument – DALLE/GPT/etc is just a 'mirror' or 'parrot' – but they rarely make convincing supporting arguments. They just assert it as axiomatic, whistling-past a
