There's a nuanced difference between owning your likeness and owning your AI generated likeness, it will now be up to the courts as to which rights supercede the others and until then the law will be abused.
You effectively no longer have any guaranteed control of the distribution of your AI likeness.
"there's a nuanced difference between owning your likeness and owning a drawing of your likeness..."
We're talking specifically about AI generated content because that's what the court case in the article ruled on, stay on topic. You just proved you don't understand the nuance I'm talking about.
Translation: "I don't have a rebuttal for your argument so I'm going to pretend it's off topic."
If you actually had an argument to make you would explain how the nuance was misunderstood and clarify what you meant. "You clearly don't understand" just screams that you don't have any foundational arguments for your claims.
You want to us to stay on topic?
A work not being eligible for copyright protection does not mean it nullifies existing protections. If someone uses AI to generate an image of Ronald McDonald punching Mickey Mouse in the face and tries to sell it on a shirt they will get sued by both McDonald's and Disney and they will lose easily.
"The courts have declared I don't own the copyright for this" is not a defense for using protected images.
Yes, are you just catching up?
Just catching up to the where I was in the first place? The argument you were so insistent was wrong and proved I "Didn't understand"?
See, that's what happens when you leave for 4 hours, conversations move on, people learn things.
Hey, good on you for learning things and admitting you were wrong.
Next time avoid statements like "stay on topic. You just proved you don’t understand the nuance I’m talking about" and you won't look like such an ass when you actually read the article and realize you were wrong in the first place.
