    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    When a judge relies on his clerks to do the work, they don't, and the judge doesn't do required due diligence. As much on the judge as the lawyers who cited fictitious precedent.

    About how artists learn. (And how it differs from AI)

    Thanks for that. Very enlightening. I would have thought that it would be a huge detriment for an artist to have aphantasia. Then again I can build very detailed mental pictures, but never progressed past the ability to make reasonable copies of book cover artwork :ROFLMAO:

    Disney sues Midjourney

    The point is that a Xerox doesn't need to make that claim. Period. The AI does and I fully expect that to be challenged, often, until the highest courts rule on it.

    Disney sues Midjourney

    I have said this before, up-thread. The Xerox doesn't come standard with the infringed work preinstalled. Trust me on that. I spent a year as a photocopier refurbishing tech, a lifetime ago, and routinely stripped them down to the chassis. There ain't no pictures already inside them.

    Disney sues Midjourney

    Very much this. There's also the simple expedient that it's far easier to control the source of the offending material (the AI), than it is to later police potentially millions of items that are produced by it. As a one-time professional motorsports photographer, there were several occasions...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There's also a third, that is somewhat similar in appearance to the second: "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde As in the truth of his character. How he would speak, if there was no consequence to that speech.
