[QUOTE="talien, post: 9155842, member: 3285"] Here's the thing: the counter argument from AI developers is that AI doesn't actually copy signatures. It copies the style of signatures so much that it looks like your signature because it was "trained" on your signature and therefore generated something that looks an awful lot like your signature. That may be technically true. But the whole concept of a signature is imperfect -- signatures change over time as you age, for example -- so we humans assign significance to something AI can't understand is important. Or to put it another way, we have programmers who never considered ownership being a problem when they scooped up billions of art. Signatures are the intersection of ownership and art, and AI is built by its very nature to consider all art just data. In short: it doesn't matter how the AI generated my signature. It still looks like my signature. It just has to look close enough for people (i.e., humans) to get confused, and then we have problems. [/QUOTE]
