If there was a just and benevolent God, people like Musk and Trump would have been working some thankless minimum-wage jobs their whole lives rather than being among the most powerful people on the planet. As for this "A.I. art" bullshit, it's just plagiarism on a mass scale. It's not an homage. It's not "inspired" by something else. It's tracing with extra steps. The computer just takes a bunch of assets without permission, smashes them all together, and regurgitates an amalgamation of all those stolen assets based on the parameters somebody types into a prompt. It's a soulless machine lacking all sentience, just following a program. It has no capacity to think abstractly, much less know what things like art or creativity even are in the first place. Whatever these "A.I.s" spit out shouldn't be subject to any legal protection. Even if we're generous enough to call "A.I. art" derivative works rather than just straight-up theft, those aren't subject to copyright either, regardless of whether the source material itself is still under copyright or is in the public domain. |
I agree but it's in it's infancy. I like the Robots answer in IRobot to the question.
Most can't they can do one or the other, there has been very few Divinci's, true AGI/ASI will be able to do it all and if you are creatively minded you will recognise that, regardless wheter you want to admit it or not (some can't), you are doing nothing more complex than what these machines are doing, you're just doing it with billion year old hardware in a manner than you can't see over the course of your life but when you engage in something creatively and you have an introspective mind, you will notice that the process is very much the same, all built off of the previous step allowing for some skips in the process in-between and like you said just an amalgamation. Great artists steal is about the truest thing that can be said for art.
There is exceptions to this, modern art whoch throws out the whole creative process in favour to try and get around the fact that we are this way but that's another story.
