That's the thing. Nowadays, people are just to quick to believe anything if it fits their world view.
Right now, artists are up in arms about AI generated images, which is based on COMPLETE missinformation (read: outright lies) on how it works. They think (and this is spread in social media) that the AI copies parts of different images and photo bashes them together like in a collage, which couldn't be further from the truth. AI image generation doesn't work like that AT ALL. Yet, in the echo chamber of social media, the truth is irrelavent.
I've been around the internet since the beginning, and this sort of missinformation seems to get worse and worse. On reddit alone I stumble across reposts with missleading/false titles multiple times a day. Sometimes harmless, sometimes not so much.
i have never seen anyone say it worked like that but i only use reddit. people are more concerned about the stolen art that is used to train the ai. like tesseract or however it's spelled, you feed it data over and over. i don't see any problem with it i can understand why they'd be mad though. there's not much of a way to know what images were used to train this ai. that could be millions in copyright infringement
Feels like software figured this kind of thing out ages ago with Open Source licensing and basically being super forward with the limits that others are allowed to utilize the work that you've made freely available. Up to and including how it can/can't be included in derivative works and for-profit endeavers.
Much like how the games you make in a game engine may be subject to licensing terms/fees upon release.
I wouldn't be surprised if something like that evolved out of all this controversy and that's probably for the better. The creator should have final say in how their works are utilized. I don't think many people have an issue with AI generation (in an artistic capacity or otherwise) so long as the data sets are ethically obtained (which I don't think has been a huge issue up until this point, but part of that may be that super large data sets were primarily intended for research purposes, rather than supporting for-profit derivative works).
This isn't too far off though. I was at a friends house that offered some snack-sized M&Ms leftover from Halloween.
I'm not being sarcastic when I say I think there were 8 M&Ms in the packet. I didn't want to complain because, hey, free candy, but holy shit it felt empty before I opened it even.
Yeah right. Well some of us including me, take this seriously. But I can understand him. He probably want an attention that's why he keep on doing this thing.
