    For the stages of development, read "Creative and Mental Growth" by Viktor Lowenfeld. For the effects of aphantasia in artists this video by wired is very explicative (They start to get to it around halfway through the video, but there are other artist testimonials across youtube) As for the...

    Also with a Xerox, as well as stuff like a CD-Burner, the company is only providing the means to produce a copy, but the material copied is provided by the user. In the cases of Gen-AI, the system itself has the information to produce the infringing copy, which means it is storing some form of...

    Judge Rules That AI Training Doesn't Violate Copyright

    And many of these were bought after they had already pirated them which is one of the arguments given on the case still going on. Do you think Open AI and Google and Meta all bought copies to the works they used for training? (Contrast Adobe which has license to all material they used to train...
