Aww, you have an opinion. 

Isn’t this the same writer who complained about the cat simulator game a few months ago?

I’m so sick of any mention of diversity being labeled as “outrage.”

You’re obviously acting in bad faith, but just for the sake of it, no, this is not how “bait” works. “Bait” would be if I wrote an incendiary headline that dishonestly portrayed the issue, and then prominently exaggerated things in such a way to raise the ire of your ilk.

Not if they’re done right.

It’s desperately sad, and concerningly telling, that you could perceive this observation as “outrage.”

Jet Lag is one of the best things to come out of any entertainment ecosystem, full stop, and I’m happy for any coverage it might get, but....

Again, overestimating what AI is actually doing here.

Any artist who puts their work somewhere for people to see wants people to see it. They want people to absorb it, to feel something, to be inspired by it. They don’t (necessarily) want an AI to chop it up into little pieces and absorb it, ready to recreate the finer points of it at a moment’s notice. It is simply not…

I wouldn’t describe my attitude as remotely “romantic.” It’s entirely pragmatic

but it trains based on the same data and “learns” how to recreate common patterns.

Just because an artist uploads their art to social media and wants people to see it doesn’t mean that they want it to be used to train algorithms that may be able to steal their jobs

I don’t expect them to know more about it than human art. But I do expect a website allegedly about TECH to attract people who are more knowledgeable than, “zomg, ai just averages its inputs.”

Stay away moar, please. Maybe then this place will get back to what it used to be, instead of a place where technophobes hem and haw about the next horseless carriage taking their jobs reaping corn away.

Because using past artists for inspiration isn’t what this AI is doing

You’re talking about prompts. I’m talking about subjects or influences that the creators have a deep personal stake in, whether emotional, psychological, or intellectual.

AI does not do this. AI cannot do this, because it has no goal beyond producing a work within specified parameters. It generates text or imagery, it doesn’t worry about whether it’s derivative or unoriginal. It is simply a sophisticated version of autofill. This is not what writers or artists do. Even a total hack is…

Absolutely “dubiously obtained”. These artists weren’t compensated for the use of their art that in turn was used by these companies to train AI to eventually turn a profit. Without this art, the AI wouldn’t be able to generate anything, so even if the art isn’t intended to “duplicate” the original works, it still…

Yes, it is.
