Artists lose first copyright battle in the fight against AI-generated images::But the fight may not be lost as the court allowed the artists to claim copyright infringement against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DevianArt, on workpieces that the artists had filed a copyright for.
So now artists are going to have to actually apply for copyright? What the fuck happened to intellectual property?
In the US, copyright is implicit. All work is instantly protected by copyright the moment it is created. Registering with copyright office is optional/voluntary. I think the judge’s comments that you are referring to was probably referring to the works where copyright protections were waived by the artists for works placed into public domain (which, on Deviant Art, covers a vast amount).
Copyright is a form of intellectual property? So are trademarks, patents, and trade secrets.
My understanding has always been that artworks that you create are your intellectual property that is automatically copywrited, at least in the United States. From the article it seems like that is either not true or it’s being ignored by the court.
It is automatically copyrighted, but you do have to register before you bring a legal action for infringement.
intellectual property is a fiction. it’s a term used to snow people. there is no such thing, nor should there be.
Intellectual property is a social construct, but that does not negate its reality or make it fictitious. Its the very thing that copyrights, patents, trademarks and countless laws were created to protect. And it’s an invaluable tool for people that need to protect their ideas and creations, especially artists and makers. The issue with intellectual property is that most of the laws surrounding it were created by/for corporations and rich people, and wind up fucking the rest of us over.
people share. food, recipes, songs, stories, pictures, tools. to use a government-enforced monopoly to interfere with people sharing is fucking immoral.
copyrights, patents, trademarks
anyone using one term to refer to all of these is being fundamentally dishonest: they are completely separate laws with different histories and uses. stallman says anyone using this term is trying to snow you. i agree.
I’m not convinced you even know what intellectual property is and aren’t merely parroting the controversial opinions of random people on the internet. Here are some links that might be of use to you;

I’m not convinced you’re interested in perspectives that don’t affirm your own
You have yet to offer any new perspective other than to say “your wrong” or “your lying”. If you can come up a convincing argument and support it, then I would be more than happy to learn something new and change my mind.
that’s still not very convincing. I’m not asking to be convinced though. if you are happy in your ignorance, why should i disabuse you?
I’m so conflicted about this; on the one hand AI’s can be a great tool for humanity, on the other hand they will likely destroy the livelyhood of thousands of people and probably give more power to big corporations.

i doubt it.
in the long run it is not good for humanity. it leads to sameness and boredom. there’s less incentive to make something new when an ai trained on existing work can make a thing that you know already works for most people.

I don’t understand how it’s not plausible to know whether works aren’t copyrighted in the data or not. That has to be tracked for multiple reasons and if AI teams pulled in the full data set to train the model it should be a matter of filtering out works that have usage restrictions applied. I would think it is just a matter of the AI team choosing to ignore usage restrictions rather than an inability to adhere to them.
It seems to me like the judge is misunderstanding or disregarding the nature of the data and procedures for deselecting cases.

I’d like to see you create high quality art using either a mouse or graphics tablet. It takes a lot of time and practice to draw something as simple as a decent looking circle without using the circle tool or a brush stablizer.
Why would I do that when I can use an AI prompt and get high quality customizable results almost instantly? If anything AI has made art a race to the bottom.
Sad really.

Then just use a circle tool or a brush stabilizer have you ever thought of that nerd?
this is a joke i say as someone struggling to practice art for fun
