The big problem is we all think someone else will solve this issue. All the investigations, congress, and even the public… they did nothing.

Run for office. Start small. Kick them out of the school boards follow their playbook and work bottom up.

Why is everyone on a race to the bottom nowadays? Almost every action a consumer makes is becoming monetized.

Thanks for sharing this

What was that about casting stones and glass houses…

Seriously, this is terrible if true. Rape is too common and its effects are usually lifelong.

Sadly you’re right. We at least need the basic rule of labeling content that used AI

AI can be such a great tool, but they just use it for this crap… We need regulation

Why use any human-like image then? A lot of amateur fashion designer on instagram use mannequins or busts. The models are serving a purpose. Removing them means someone loses a job.

If we look at this from top-down you’re right because the company is saving a cost. But from the bottom-up, you’ve just become more expendable. This leads into the arguments others have been making, what happens when eventually people can’t work? And why should we use technology to serve the few and not the many?

They frame this article in such a weird way. Like replacing the models and their jobs was justified because they had egos etc…

I can see similar framing used to replace other workers because they want to be paid fairly or do something drastic like take bathroom breaks… :D

Sadly all that crazy seems totally possible with Microsoft involved.

I think they are hoping Trump goes to jail and try to push a “moderate”. I bet Scott’s exit is probably a deal to make him VP if Haley gets the nom.

Just… yay!

So… a movie featuring a sleeping girl getting woken up for her happy ending is too woke?

I’ve worked as a poll worker since 2019. It’s actually a great thing to do. 99% of the people are wonderful. Voters are rarely the issue. However, Poll watchers have been getting worst and more confrontational. I dread 2024.

It seems we need to just let this all run longer and see what happens. Currently we have no real way to detect AI in media beside disclosures and the silly mistakes like 20 fingers. This all relies on the creator (Not hard to edit a photo to clean up those hands etc)

I think a lot of creatives are struggling so they just feel shut out of the conversation. Copyright is probably the one thing most people can understand as a talking point.

I think we still have some time before we see which way will work. Ideally we could always augment the laws… but yeah, America and stuff.

Sadly no matter what, the big media companies are going to have a huge advantage in everything because of decades of lobbying etc.

I think people should still be able to profit from selling the image themselves, however, I don’t think we have enough knowledge on how AI will truly impact things. If it becomes a minor fad and is just a tool to help speed a process I think the law doesn’t need to change much.

If AI becomes the majority creator on projects then we have to have this conversation about who owns what.

Close models will probably be the future, much like stock photos, and people will have to pay to access the models.

In the end big business will always fuck us over, copyright or not.

I believe a person can still sell or market art that is AI created. I just believe they shouldn’t have total ownership of the work.

Already most creators don’t fret over fanart or fanfiction so there is wiggle room for fair-use. It’s a lot like the game modding scene. Usually modders use pre-existing assets or code to create something new.

Let people play but not own AI work for now.

I agree that AI work should not have copyright protection. Even with human intervention it still collects data, without expressed permission, from numerous sources.

This will actually protect smaller artists. It will prevent giant companies from profiting from their work without credit or payment.

Every comment here is awesome. Thanks everyone.

It’s a tool that opens up a lot of dangers (bullying/misinformation/addiction loops created by companies). Oddly, we don’t seem to educate kids on how to handle the tool properly.

Agreed.

Thanks for posting it.
