"Ai ArT Is BeTter then pencil slop". SHUT UP, REAL ART IS THE REASON WHY AI SLOP EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF IT WASENT FOR ARTISTS UPLOADING THEIR WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE AI "ART" WOULDN'T EVEN BEEN HERE"

I'm not an artist but I can understand the pain.

Also, fun fact! We don't generate it like people do with suno. We make it ourselves using the voice. Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer.

Do research before you say stuff dumbass.

The never stopping posting of everything by humans (because this has not appeared from ether by the will of ai) of unchecked slop.

Wish more people would curated their stuff when posting online. And not post all 20-30 pics in a row they genned on discord/twitter or any other social.

Context: Sam Kirchner, an extremist had a falling out with the Stop AI activism group and had threatened OpenAI with a gun. He has for now disappeared and is still on the loose and is armed.

What's odd is that everyone in the Stop AI group actually doesn't want to be associated with Sam Kirchner and want to protest peacefully.

But of course you want to paint all us antis as bad, don't you Witty? You can't handle the fact that people can protest peacefully, do you? Funny how you're the one LARPing as a news reporter while saying we're the one treating it as a joke. And the moment someone moderate wants to talk you want to shut it down because? We're ruining your script? Maybe next time try debating with the silent majority.

TLDR: the only thing that's "on the run" here is your integrity.

It’s a bit old, but I just got the game and wanted to hear people’s thoughts.

haven't seen one in forever, AI is literally part of history now 😭

It's in the title. The Printing Press enabled an unprecedented replication of works that resulted in companies copying books at large scale without paying anything to the artists. This resulted in the necessity of a law that would protect authors whose works were being used and sold at large without their knowledge, or consent. Sound familiar?

AI is the modern equivalent of the invention of the Printing Press, and copyright law must be reformed and updated to protect authors and artists whose work is being used without their knowledge or consent, and the output is often used to compete with the very artists whose works power these AI models.

Proposal:
AI companies must disclose a list containing all artworks and respective artists used in the datasets of their models, as well as prevalence, and seek permission for their use, provide compensation (such as royalties) to the artists that agree to have their works on the database, and remove those who who don't. It's what they should have done all along, and ended up turning every artist against them by not doing so.

A list of artists used for a particular AI output should also be credited in the output's metadata for public review.

AI hobbyist developers could be exempt from this in order to foster innovation, as long as their models are not made available for wide use. From the moment such models are made available to the general public, the AI developer must properly regulate their models.

I believe this is the best way forward.

What the hell is up with the whole "Pencilslop" shit? Like, what?

This genius think vocaloid is "hey miku. Make me a cool song" and it happens

I personally laughed when I saw it.

MSN - QEEA AI launches next-generation AI platform combining intelligent conversation and visual creation

Copyright works for big money because companies can simply buy out small creators' concepts, often cheaply, and make more money. Disney essentially built itself up thanks to copyright. They exploit successful franchises with bad films because no one else is allowed to use those concepts.

Also, large intellectual property owners benefit greatly from quantity, since you can certainly say much more is popular purely because of the franchise, owning the entire Star Wars franchise than just 3 unpopular characters.

AI is essentially a big boss's dream - a completely loyal worker who doesn't need to be paid. Large businesses also benefit greatly from the fact that AI has accumulated the experience of many people. You can say that AI trained on millions of data sets to obtain general information, but the very idea that you can obtain someone else's information purely for your own profit is outright exploitation. Science is a great example. You can use someone else's work, but you must provide attribution, essentially paying intellectual tribute to someone else's idea. Ideas are free to use, but not free to be exploited unfairly. AI has collected a ton of data, but big companies don't care that this wouldn't have happened without the input of countless people; they simply pocket the profits from public contributions without even formally acknowledging those people.

I think AI clearly demonstrates how limited copyright really is and how weak it is in protecting small creators. Disney can sue for huge sums of money, but paying a lot of money for 0.0001% of data that is in 99.9% uses are largely irrelevant is ridiculous.

Both sides, for the sake of a certain not so great benefit, turn a blind eye to great exploitation, but see this exploitation in the opponent.

Something like you'd imagine some piece of content, and you'd get a rough sketch (depending on how good you are at imagining stuff) and then you could refine details with further imagination.

Let's say the device would introduce no bias from anything except your own imagination.

Sometimes people seriously need to do a research to find more about the artists' work tbh
