AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

It's sad how legit this technique is.

It's also a common marketing strategy. Make a post or ad with a deliberate error in it and the engagement multiplies tenfold as the world gleefully corrects you (sharing it widely in the process).

"We'll be proving a lot of stuck up buffoons very, very wrong. Which, trust me, is the very best thing about science."
-- Deborah MacGuiness, paleontologist (1899)

This sentiment is also supported by the Internet in general, not just science.

Well that's the problem isn't it? If you get so used to using LLMs to get information, you start to lose the knowledge that we all used to have of where to go for good information. We used to know this stuff. It's like a skill that's atrophying. You lose the basic ability to look things up because you no longer know how.

Uh....that wasn't at all what I was saying. I put a lot of effort into researching the sources I found long before LLMs were available.

EDIT: I would say, instead, that the change from visiting the library to using the Internet has necessitated checking your sources. And that experience has, in turn, made me realize that I was probably too trusting of sources in libraries.

Um. No? It’s what I was saying.

This also isn’t what you were saying.

The antecedent of my "that" wasn't what you said, it was your apparent misinterpretation of what I was saying. Since you wrote "Well that's the problem..." I assumed the antecedent of your "that" was what I had said.

But maybe you were referring to some new, undefined "that." If so, I failed to follow it. My fault, clearly.

? All library books are extensively fact-checked.

At least, that's what AI told me.

I have looked for more information and we have got the example of the artwork "A Single Piece of American Cheese" but we have got also the cases Zarya of the Dawn (2023) (Graphic novelist Kristina Kashtanova used Midjourney to generate images. USCO protected the text, selection, coordination, and overall arrangement of the images (as a compilation), but not the individual AI-generated images. The human labor involved in the assembly and structure was deemed sufficient to grant partial protection) and the case in China Li vs. Liu (2023)
A work assisted by AI can be protected by copyright. I believe this detail is an important distinction. I suppose professional artists will take care of recording evidence of their own creative contribution.
My opinion is that AI will paradoxically boost creativity because it will be used by amateurs for amateur works who have very creative minds but are too clumsy to put those ideas into practice. But this saturation of creativity ultimately leads to only the freshest and most original ideas remaining in our memory.
I highly doubt AI will be used for overly photorealistic images with human characters due to the risk of the uncanny valley, but we could see many works with a 2D art aesthetic.

And personally, I enjoyed creating and publishing my PC species ideas althought the power level wasn't right.

Like I said, your understanding of history, moral rights, natural rights and common-law rights is seriously lacking.

Mod note:
One wonders why you felt that making this personal was appropriate.

Folks with a dozen warnings on their accounts should take more care than this to avoid moderator attention. This may easily become a discussion about whether your posts are worth the grief and disruption they cause.

Be better to your feĺlow posters, please.
