@Gutless2615 corperations stealing artists work to develop their for-profit software is NOT fair use.
@brimnac it’s not a ‘someone’ though. The AI isn’t an actual consciousness. It’s a software company illegally using other artists work to develop their own commercial product. BIG DIFFERENCE.
For real. The whole list I’m like “good luck” ha. It’s going to transcend reality by scraping data off Twitter and Reddit? Have fun with that. It sounds just like every other self assured egotistical ‘guru’ charlatan, completely talking out its digital ass.
What were the most popular news sources for that demo in the past? Facebook? MySpace? Sunday morning cartoons? When has that demographic ever had a ‘most popular news source’?
Also! The very first graph actually shows the BBC rated 10% higher than tiktok, but that’s not click bait enough, so they separated the BBC into subcategories so they could say tiktok was highest 🤦♂️
It’s the price history of a product. It was $15 cheaper 2 weeks ago compared to the ‘prime day’ price. Browser plug-ins like camelcamelcamel will show charts like this
I am no longer posting any of my work to reddit. Maybe if they started profit sharing with actual content creators I’d consider going back, but the hubris, greed, and animosity they’ve shown towards the users and mods that freely provide content/work that make the site worth anything has been infuriating.
I was a daily user for a frickin decade both posting and lurking… Haven’t been to reddit in almost 3 weeks now. Onward to the fediverse 👍
@Gutless2615 Of course individuals can train models on their own work, but if they train it on other artists work, that too is an unauthorized use.
Honestly whether AI outputs can be copyrighted is really a separate issue from what I am concerned about… what matters in these cases is where/ how they obtained the inputs on which they trained the models. If a corporation or individual is using other artists works without authorization they are also committing theft, irrespective of any copyright infringement.
