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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
Wouldn't the copyright laws theoretically protect your art from being used also?
No, because these AI aren't exactly transparent in what sources they use
AI art is created as an amalgamation of different preexisting artwork, it doesn't actually create something entirely new. They are trained on artwork that actual artists create, but do not create things themselves, but if their output can be copyrighted, an AI could be trained on my artwork and create something reminiscent of my art style that I have no say or control over.
It's kind of similar to when artists trace other art and don't give credit to the original and pretend they made it all themselves, except now the "traced" AI artwork now has legal protections.
My Chinese isn't nearly good enough to read this law in the original at all, so I could be assuming a worst case scenario, but if businesses can copyright AI art, then they have no reason to hire real artists to work for them, when they could just get an intern to put prompts into an art generator all day instead. As others have said, this is very "business friendly" which means it is very anti-worker (Artists are still workers, even if we don't fit some narrow ultra definition of the term). A real unfortunate situation, no doubt because AI art is this new fancy thing that laypeople (including the politburo in China) don't understand and assume is some magical thing that creates art from thin air.
