Anything you use to detect can be used to tune. There's a feedback loop there. Also, like, what do you think is used in an automated detector? A model! And if the model artifact itself is infringing...

You're also going to have false positives and start flagging human work as ai-generated, which will I guess be used to absolutely crush people in court. The standard there not being accuracy but rather what you can get past a judge once. Like, look at forensics and despair.

But the main effect I think if the court cases go bad will be to kill the FOSS side of this, I don't think the closed side is killable.

I am interested in most phases of data processing.
Bike shops that sell secondhand bikes and parts often have slightly used or new but resold tires for very cheap. I've gotten a lot of nice tires for less than $5. I hate those Serfas tires. They suck.

It's this. Fundamentally, this poo poo will not work in a lot of cases where copyright (AI 'creative' output cannot be cast iron defendable without enough work that it seriously hurts the value prep at best) or accountability matter, and the law on either of those is not gonna shift because if it does, it breaks the economy that deal with those things nearly completely. These models are crimes.txt in more ways then I can count, and they're trying to offload this piece of computational corium before the law catches up and kicks their rear end. Don't try and cheat using this poo poo, as soon as detection catches up - and if the economy is to stay functional, it will have to, one way or another - you're gonna get birched.

Frankly, if we wanna trade acedotes, I trust a lifer art design lead saying some high power names are explicitly banning it in recent contract amendments, but being necessarily cagy due to NDAs a lot more then reddit acedotes, because it is *entirely* predictable from current copyright law.

Frankly the most Doomsday economics - and thus, most plausible - is that the real money is finding it and getting it off sites and asset chains of title.

this isn't a problem because our legal system already has a built-in solution to the copyright question. if the company using potentially derivative work is microsoft or google and has more money to spend on lawyers and bribing judges than the owner of the copyright, then they get to either get away with it or blackmail the copyright owner into selling the rights since their only other options would be to not enforce their ownership or enter into a court battle they can't afford. on the other hand, if the copyright owner is the one with more money and in-house counsel, then the copyright is enforced.

The closed side runs into the same issue for copyright defense, but won't have the same problems for offical use becasue they'll put a watermark of some varity in to avoid liability and DMCA/lawsuit the hell out of anyone caught hacking it out or otherwise trying to defeat it, because it puts them at risk of getting the Mouse up in their business.

I think we've been so primed by the Juicero-esque silicon valley garbage and crypto hustle scams over the last 5 years that we may be failing to recognize an actual transformative technology has come along in terms of AI

Skepticism is always good, and I think the frankly stupid media coverage of these things as semi-sentient genius bots has contributed to it, but chatgpt and the like are actually quite good at generating bullshit, and people are underestimating how much of our economy is dedicated to the production and consumption of bullshit

Precisely, plus the damage to net functionality from the crapfloods and the attempts to filter them out and ensuring that undefensable poo poo doesn't enter chains of title.

The closed model benefits from not telling you what the training set is. It can run / use the same things and just... not admit to it. Any simularities chalked up to training on an artists influences. W/o direct access to the model in order to see how it works with the latent space as well as sample images, only outputs.

Then there's the fact that the vast majority of the human corpus of knowledge vis a vis visual and written arts is in the public domain.

That just means stability can't claim copyright, and maybe you can't copyright direct output. I would just claim copyright when I use it as a tool.

Unless you mean something like whenever I enhance photos I invalidate their copyright by sullying the purity of the human essence with machine blood or something.

No, that is not in fact how it works. You cannot copyright the product of wholly mechanical processes or instructions, either of which is the case. You can copyright stuff you do with that output, but ONLY the human amendments, which given what AI is free real estate as soon as you teach something to prise out the AI content. The best usecase is for references for concept art, because you have a human artifact to start a chain of title.

cool, so because samsung enhances the photos on my phone using a diffusion model I can't copyright them? Purely e2e mechanical and software process except me choosing to click button.

I use that example because that's precisely how a diffuser is used to enhance a sketch or photo. Another workflow is utilizing diffusion models in a way very akin to collage - mixing / welding together different models and weights and prompts across different areas of an image. Humans are *heavily involved* - it is not purely mechanical outside the waifu promptsmiths.

I know most posters probably don’t work in policy/academia/military but lol you could not just shrug off accountability by saying the chatbot is responsible. Presumably in private sector too, you’re not just paid for when you’re right but when you’re wrong.

Remember these things don’t actually know anything they are not good at applying concepts from different contexts or disciplines, so problems very rapidly add up if you charge it with any kind of responsibility.

Which isn’t to say 90% of professional writing is filler but that 10% can’t be left to something searching google and drawing… what? The most probabilistically likely conclusions?

No, because a human lined up the image, and the bits of that genned image may be possible to dig out, as well as the nature of each bit. Its a useless title, not worth the case to defend when you get safer cost effect with existung technique.

Wonky eyes or 6 fingered hands can be masked out and fixed with a button press now. Power users can save specific characters to reuse and pose them exactly as needed like a 3D model so they don't look like randomized mutants on each generation. There's a huge variety of advanced tools beyond prompting being rapidly released.

Some companies refuse to use AI out of principal or legal fears, but tons are jumping in head first to massively reduce billable hours.

Ehhh, given the rumblings I've heard out of contract and even romance cover art, this poo poo may well be starting to slow because the current doctrine makes it a mess to approach, and the object lesson of Clarkesworld suggests good reason to be very cautious in any amendments to that law that make it easier to protect AI output. Not least because copyright is a really useful thing to have on any asset if money or reputation is involved.
