What’s with this notion of it only being done by “free” products. Just because it’s paid doesn’t mean they don’t do the same.

No. For the initial decades all the research was publicly funded and progress was very slow.

You could get the facts and show how it is being manipulated

Photos are a great example.

Somebody takes a photograph of a skyline, why should they be able to copyright that? All they did was press a button, the skyline itself was created by others.

If the answer is because of the compositional choices involved, then that's no different from a user giving specific prompts to an AI. Which is exactly what the comic book author was doing when creating their work.

Photography should not be copyrightable under the same standards held to AI in this case.

> don't understand art

Understanding art isn't a prerequisite for creating art.

Tommy Lee Jones, no!

Aight. Well I can report you, and a Reddit employee may read your post. So maybe follow your own advice and get the hell of this website lol

Already is.

Airport and casinos can map out your entire path thru their property. They likely can isolate it too and “blur out” everyone else for evidence purpose.

If you want to know what a true dystopian system could look like? Look no further than casinos and China. I’d actually guess that US casinos are more advanced than China in some regards, but that’s because casinos are as close to the cutting edge US spy tech you’ll ever see without working for those agencies.

Just remember - sometimes these apps hate upgrading their UI. So it may look like a 1990s cctv system, but behind it is a cluster of 4090s or aws nodes doing the heavy lifting.

From the court ruling cited on this specific case:

> In cases where non-human authorship is claimed, appellate courts have found that copyright does not protect the alleged creations. For example, the Ninth Circuit held that a book containing words “‘authored’ by non-human spiritual beings” can only gain copyright protection if there is “human selection and arrangement of the revelations.” Urantia Found. v. Kristen Maaherra, 114 F.3d 955, 957–59 (9th Cir. 1997). The Urantia court held that “some element of human creativity must have occurred in order for the Book to be copyrightable” because “it is not creations of divine beings that the copyright laws were intended to protect.”

So they should do nothing? This is an objectively awful take.

Skynet figured out that the military industry is so 80's. The real way to screw humanity is through the legal system.

So this case does address this in some fashion and the office ruled that significant edits can be proof of authorship. Mrs. K does provide examples of ai-generated work that is edited and they do review it.

I remember that elon suggested doing something similar https://youtube.com/shorts/x3szlHk2Fkk?feature=share

Any one confused on the issue, here’s the written ruling.

https://copyright.gov/docs/zarya-of-the-dawn.pdf

> A person who provides text prompts to Midjourney does not “actually form” the generated images and is not the “master mind” behind them.

> Nor does the Office agree that Ms. Kashtanova’s use of textual prompts permits copyright protection of resulting images because the images are the visual representation of “creative, human-authored prompts.” Because Midjourney starts with randomly generated noise that evolves into a final image, there is no guarantee that a particular prompt will generate any particular visual output.

Fusion would be so close if research and ones owning it was public instead of relying on private companies to do it...

I love paying 10k to be a beta tester after paying 40k for the car that advertised FSD WOOOO

Literally the plot of The Towering Inferno except that the fire department did show up that time.

You can already highlight the part of the image that generated a signature or whatever and ask it to put something else there on SD. Midjourney I think you have to redo the whole piece.

..or an actual autopilot.

Where’s John Kruger when you need him???

law enforcement probably have facial recognition drones too, they already use these two tech separately.

I mean…. Their parent company. Also owns WSJ.
