AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Good thing no artist ever uses other art as inspiration to create their work... oh wait. Just like a human artist AI looks at a shit ton of reference material that influences the thing they make. AI might do it faster but people do the same thing and AI only they can only scrape digitized art where humans have the whole width and breadth of life and multiple senses they can use to influence their art.
If an AI can make art that can compete against you then you shouldn't be a professional artist just like if you cant make a better cup of coffee than a vending machine you shouldn't be a barista.
I would say the issue is a bit more Complex(TM).
In one case, if I use a generally available program like Stable Diffusion with a generally available model and generate images with it, should I be able to copyright the product because of the combination of prompts and configuration that I used? I am not definitive on this but I am leaning towards no.
On the other hand, if an organization uses a proprietary algorithm, trains a model on its using using stolen art, etc., they would have a more of a case of copyright in my opinion. My gut says "no" for a variety of reasons but there is more of a case.
Tldr: abolish copyright
