Sarah Silverman leads class-action lawsuit against ChatGPT creator

And that's how it will become basically useless to the point of having no backers and fading away like pervious tech that had no backers.

Which is what the goal for some is.

I thought I was being obvious.

I’d rather not go through a SkyNet robot uprising only to eventually have a Butlerian Jihad to finally come to our senses. When we are wise enough to handle AI we can revisit the tech. We’re clearly nowhere near wise enough at present.

Mushroom pickers urged to avoid foraging books on Amazon that appear to be written by AI

Sample of books scored 100% on AI detection test as experts warn they contain dangerous advice

eta: Amazon could just reject any newly submitted books that fail an AI detector scan, I imagine. That wouldn't be perfect, but it would be a start. (eta: nvm. Turns out AI detectors don't work on writing. To halt this, a company would have to do some actual work to separate the real from the AI, and that would cost money.)
Either way, as a retail platform, Amazon does't seem to have much incentive to stop this, since they get their cut either way.

It would be even better if copyright is assigned to the people whose work is the basis for the output. Did you use the public domain to train and then your drawing as an input? you get copyright. Did you scrape the web to train and use as an input? now all of those people co-own the image!

In a perfect world, sure, but tracking whose work was used in a particular image would be essentially impossible. Tracking the copyright to such work doubly so.

I can't remember if I've seen this mentioned anywhere, but Windows 11 23H2 update, which I think is slated for October this year, is going to be adding an AI assistant called Copilot.

Cue comments about switching to Linux or being smug about already using it

Judge rules that AI-generated art isn't copyrightable, since it lacks human authorship

A federal judge has agreed with US government officials that a piece of artificial intelligence-generated art isn't eligible for copyright protection in the country since there was no human authorship involved.

I knew this was familiar from somewhere:

Author, Author (episode)

The Doctor completes work on a holonovel that depicts the crew of Voyager in rather unflattering roles as they abuse and scorn the Emergency Medical Hologram. When the holonovel is published without his permission, the issue of The Doctor's legal rights is brought into question. Seven reconnects...
