Make Sure You Know This if You're Using AI Art

[Anon Adderlan]

In addition many conventions have explicitly banned AI art, and given how aggressively antis go after suspects I guarantee they'll enforce those rules when it comes to selling published works at such venues.

Ingram Spark refused to distribute the new release on all normal channels, only providing support for you to sell it directly from their store or you could order dozens of copies and sell them yourself. Distribution centers like amazon, B&N, libraries, and European markets were NOT any longer an option.

Sounds like a contract violation. At the very least it implies tagging things as AI was never about enabling customers to make informed choices, but to enable ideologues to make those choices for them.

Edit: apparently Amazon has policies regarding the number of books a publisher can submit due to how rapidly AI content can be generated, and as of April 27th 2020 #IngramSpark reserves the right to remove books generated with AI or other automated means at their discretion, and I really don’t like arbitrarily enforceable clauses like that.

Honestly probably going to take Congress to pass a law to really fix the issues with generative AI and copywritten material.

As someone already pointed out, different countries have different rules when it comes to this, but most will likely converge on treating AI as just another filter when it comes to copyright.
