friendly reminder that ai is not an automatic collage machine, and is not the devil, and i am sick of the fearmongering

i would give my writing an ai, i dont care, because i know how it actually works and knows that it doesnt fucking matter.

Unfriendly fucking reminder that AI is a copyright violating machine, that the original AI projects were funded by Elon Fucking Musk because he does not see value in the work of artists, and that AIs have problems with constantly putting signatures and watermarks back into art

BECAUSE THEY'RE TRAINED ON SO MUCH STOLEN, COPYRIGHT-VIOLATING ART.

Implying that those of us who have moral objections to AI art (and writing) are "fearmongering" or that we just don't know what we're talking about ignores the very very blatant art theft occurring.

But no, AI art doesn't steal! That's why it's totally not reproducing watermarks here!

Or here!

Or signatures and copyright lines in all of these!

When you feed the AI which is BASED ON STOLEN ART, you are telling thieves that you're cool with art being stolen as long as you get something temporary, free and momentarily cool.

Fuck off. ^__^

Artist finds private medical record photos in popular AI training data set

LAION scraped medical photos for AI research use. Who's responsible for taking them down?

Ars Technica

*rubs temples*

SO ANYWAY, LIKE I WAS SAYING.

AI is like a child learning art who cannot learn whether something is right or wrong.

the AI will see watermarks, and instead of saying "hey, mom, why are these words in the corner of the picture?" it'll think "sometimes art just has random word-shaped text in the corner, and that's normal" and then replicate it.

Also, if you are an artist and want to check if your work has been used to train AI, HaveIBeenTrained can search the database for matching images (no it doesn't save the image you search with):
