But why? Why do you people hate AI so much? You guys did this shit with crypto too

How come when I plagiarize other people’s creative content it’s illegal, but when AI does it it’s fine?

Derivative works are not plagiarism

People make derivative works because they add their own ideas and spin. AI do not have ideas or spin, it’s copy-paste with extra steps.

Have you even been following what images AI can generate now? Every work is original, it doesn’t just copy and paste pixels.

What it does is use a large statistical model to determine which pixels it copies, but it’s still copy/paste with extra steps.

@queermunist @moreeni I have to disagree. The plagiarism claims are unfounded as the ais are making their own artwork off of what they have learned. Usually starting from noise and de-noising it into something that matches its' memories of the key words. In the case of the generative art ais anyway.

While there can be valid arguments against copyrighted material being used for the ais, plagiarism is not one of them.

Far be it from me to defend the concept of intellectual property, but if a chat bot can be argued to not plagiarize then that implies it has an intelligence. It really doesn’t. It’s plagiarism with extra steps.
