I've been putting off cleaning my bathroom for way too long now, it's scary in there... đŹ
You can go fuck yourself dude, trans women are women. For all social and identity purposes they are female.
He absolutely doesn't want to get rid of them, just make large corporations immune from claims or maybe even able to take copyrights away from others. Abolishment of copyright goes against these people's core beliefs of control, they don't want copyright gone, they wish to control it.
No you aren't, the tactic that @orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts And many others are using here is called Tu quoque and it is a logical fallacy.
This person is is a grade A first class loser who just goes around harassing people and making bad faith accusations, this is his third account banned for the same crap.
I see, thank you for responding.
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com I'm curious how true is this if you don't mind me asking.
3.) An insane amount of electricity and water are burned to get that image.
Just to address this piece this is only true for large corporate models, smaller self-hosted open-source models can run on a single GPU. I hear people arguing this like it's something universal across the board for any AI system, but it isn't really
You sound like a troll, for the record I didn't distinguish between large companies, I said that pro-copyright sentiment and anti-piracy arguments of any kind are modern "think of the children" arguments. All pro-copyright sentiment, no discrimination here. The fact that you're trying to put words in my mouth proves you aren't and never were arguing in good faith.
Yes banning people for votes, fraudulent, excessive, or made seeminly in bad faith is a thing. Mods can view votes these days but also admins have been able to view them for a long time.
I'm only describing it as moral panic because in the vast majority of the argument people have talking about copyright and "Art theft" they are framing their position as a moral high ground. I really don't think there is one either. People are going to do what they do. They can use freely available creative commons materials, or they can pirate the good stuff. One isn't better than the others.
Ultimately when it comes to an AI like OpenAI, I couldn't care less if they source and license the data responsibly, use Free to use material, or engage in piracy. They can fuck themselves any way they do it. Because an AI company like that is going to screw us over in the long run. No matter how nice they play.
Your argument about pirating indie music or games does seem to be a common one, and I would agree if it weren't for one big part. Most pirates do buy when they can. I certainly do. There are things I pirate I would never buy and there are even things I would never pirate. But games I pirated and liked, especially indie games I've bought. Music and Art is a trickier subject because people these days mostly stream and view online, though if we're going to compare to art commission I would argue that a person who would commission a piece of art would probably still do it, but on the flip side someone who wouldn't, just wouldn't. Regardless if AI is available to do it or not.
Spoken like someone who hasnât created art great enough that they want their name on it.
Willing to bet that you along with the majority of the morally outraged people on this subject who are whining haven't either. They're usually at it for the same reasons people who whine about piracy do what they do and simp for IP holders, because they've seen others do it.
So who are these people crediting when the image they asked to be generated is using art that isnât credited?
They aren't crediting anyone or taking credit, same as pirating content. Just like how we don't go out of our way to give credit to the people who pirated the content or the people who made the film.
copys identifiable techniques and prose.
I am not going to even indulge the idea of this of owning style or technique, I've seen some really toxic ideas around trying to own style, traits, or even a fictional species and this is downright petty, and one of the most extreme forms of gatekeeping in that space yet. It's also so low that it's not even protected by copyright but even if it were I'd respect it less than I do more concrete forms of intellectual property (which I don't respect either).
I'm currently resting and trying to recover. I still have a bad headache and my throat burns like fire. Thank you I'll definitely give that blog a read.
Hating all AI universally is a bit silly though, especially models like AlphaFold, which have saved lots of lives with the work it and its creators have done.
I'm glad we're in agreement about this. I don't like corporate AI like openAI or Anthropic because they are corporate monsters who only desire money and power, and who ultimately will screw us over in the end.
I don't agree entirely though with the idea about copyright respect and all that jazz as I'm a pirate through and through and pirating training data to train a local AI is no different to me than pirating movies, TV, or Music. I don't have a lot of sympathy for pro-copyright sentiment due to the fact that it's really fake ownership of physical ideas, and gatekeeping who can access them. Copyrights aren't owned the way you can own pants, piracy doesn't steal from you and I refuse to call copyright piracy theft.
AIs really should be open-source and self-hostable, if the Replika incident taught me anything it's that something like this should be in your control, they will screw you over for money otherwise. Whether you get permission or pirate the material is really up to you honestly.
Itâs not worth creating your own art if an AI is just going to rip your style and take credit the second you post it.
This is almost verbatim the same argument they use against piracy saying if people can pirate "no one buys any disks from the store" - DP (Don't copy that Floppy). And it's wrong. I use AI the same way I use piracy, and I do appreciate real art. Which is why I say that the anti-AI arguments I see floating around are bullshit, you don't know people who use it, you're regurgitating ideas and talking points that don't apply evenly to all people, just like anti-piracy propaganda does.
I'm not taking credit for it, maybe some people do, but it's a strawman argument to say everyone does. I see AI generation as another form of piracy.
I wouldnât have as much of a problem with it if every artist agreed for their works to be used, but these bots just scraped the open internet and took everything they could find and thatâs the training data.
Like I said, same thing as piracy. The arguments against piracy fall onto deaf ears, and I don't respect them. Because Copyright, especially broken long copyright like what the US has is killing our culture. I don't respect it and will not honor it. People who make a moral panic about forms of piracy are basically screaming "Think of the children" as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not really arguing against that, or trying to say that AI is any less or more creative. I'm saying that the moral panic of "copyright infringement" AKA "art theft" is stupid to me because it's based on the made up idea that people own the physical analog of an idea the same way I can own a laptop or a car. Piracy isn't stealing, and it never has been. Piracy's moral panic is based on the idea of me not buying something because I was able to pirate it. Here's the thing though. I'm not going to buy it anyway, if you think I will you don't know me.
Someone could say that I'm bad because I used AI to generate my pfp, but I wouldn't have commissioned an artist to draw it for me. I would've just taken it for free somewhere else whether it was a legal source like freely licensed or a screen-rip from an anime. If there wasn't anywhere else I just wouldn't have a pfp. Piracy isn't stealing, the amount of pirates who would buy anyway is lower than any anti-piracy advocates would like you to believe. And I do believe the same is true here for the most part.
There's muddyness when it comes to commercial AI and I don't like big tech commercial AI since they are sleazy and scamming people, but also because they will happily cut us all off and make us pay. I do not think OpenAI or Ahthropic are good companies or doing good things for our world. I just don't believe the standard Anti-AI rhetoric that it's bad because of copyright infringement. I've pirated movies in the past, even when it was shitty and low quality. This isn't much different to me, yeah it's not as good as the real thing, I don't deny that. Same with AI, AI images are like those pirated movies, lower quality, maybe shaky, real art is something else.
I think framing copyright piracy as a moral panic is sleazy and wrong, just as I believe that anti-piracy campaigns which seek to scare and demonize people who pirate music or movies are wrong. I cannot support this rhetoric in good faith, this is the modern day equivalent of "think of the children" for enforcing fake ownership of something that can't be really owned.
Go fuck yourself asshole, I know from that comment that you've clearly never been harassed before online or in real life. I have, both IRL and online. I've also been aggressively misgendered by strangers "friends" and even family, it's not something you can brush off. Don't talk out of your ass about things you know nothing about.
First and last ones are only true for big corporate models. The second one is subjective whether you believe in copyright policing. I don't, but I'm pro-piracy and believe that IP gatekeeping is harmful to our culture at large. I've seen both how ruthless IP holders can be, and I've also seen how lazy they are at rehashing the same ideas over and over (why movie studios and authors reuse the same plots, stories, or remake the same content over and over and over again). I don't agree with this.
The first one and last one are big problems, but are easily solved by using Open source software (that things that everyone forgets exists) and self-hosting yourself, I can use my own GPU to run an instance of AIhorde software for nothing more than what it takes to play a video game.
