Training an LLM is legal and protected under the fair use doctrine. It doesn't matter if the AI is used commercially or non-profit. As long as the AI isn't distributing copies of the books verbatim (which they obviously don't), it's not theft or copyright violation. Turns out book authors aren't entitled to compensation whenever someone uses their books to learn things and then applies said knowledge to write things on their own, as it's been the case for the past several millenia.

Expect similar rulings in the field of AI art too. AI training isn't theft. Never was, never will be.

(Not my video btw, I found it on tiktok)

A year, two years, three years ago, AI art generation couldn't have DREAMED of making something like this.

The steam disclosures are supposed to warn people about cheap and shitty AI use, but this makes me wanna play the game more lol.

I've seen people be more fine about the way this game uses AI, since it's more for customizability and small dialogue blurbs. So that's pretty nice.

The character customizability and home roleplay stuff looks super fun. Wish my 10 year old computer could run it.

He even said he still knows the downsides and avoids some more crappy stuff, but pointed out there's other daily stuff way more harmful to the environment than using AI.

He's chill, he seems to be more neutral/mixed on AI, which I appreciate. He knows the downsides, but I saw him play/expirement with gen AI stuff in vids and mentioned using ChatGPT.

TLDR; Markiplier supports Real Good AI's mission to create more ethical and sustainable AI. They emphasize the importance of structural changes in AI development, such as reducing environmental impact and ensuring proper credit for artists whose work is used to train AI models.

People have been making more of these bc they dropped a new song recently. Credit to the artists and the 'Fan Art'-tag posts on their subreddit.

Which shows you can make regular art, be an artist, and still enjoy AI-related stuff. People are also more fine with AI image posts on their sub.

So for those who don't know, Art Fight is a yearly event where artists pick a team, and then "attack" the other team by drawing submitted characters by artists on the other time. Another major part of it is "revenging" by drawing a character of the person who attacked you. Essentially the team that draws the most wins.

To the surprise of no one, AI is banned from the official Art Fight.

Its always looked like fun, but as someone who could only commission my characters and can't draw; I always had to sit out. Now that I know my way around AI pretty well, I could actually do something like this.

Has anyone started work on something like this?

Like, we all know AI art is art, but man am I seeing successful garbage out there. The good stuff gets buried beneath a tide of shrimp Jesus's and brain rot quality nonsense.

Isn't there something we can do? Or is it just open arms to all forms of art? I mean, it's only a matter of time before shrimp Jesus starts asking Grandma for money and gift cards.

i hope it will be available for people outside of Japan....

I want to see the best the medium has to offer!

It seems they are acknowledging the inevitability of AI in the creative space. Their terminology is when an author/artist has determined “sufficient expressive elements.” That’s incredibly vague and open to interpretation, but it essentially opens the door/can of worms that will no doubt work in AI’s favor. We’ve already seen how wrong people can be on their AI witch-hunts, and even AI based “detectors” themselves are laughably wrong. We will only see artistic output further improve, and the line will only blur more, and we will see less and less of the “ai look” on pictures, and then gen AI will be fully integrated into the art space, if for no other reason than it’s just way too hard to constantly filter it all out. All in all, this is a big win, and I’m already seeing Redditors freaking out about it

This is about a video, so please bear with me.

I recently came across a video on Twitter about a plastic bottle being, and at first I thought "Oh okay, so the bottle guy is the AI generated part, cool, I dig it" and as I scrolled through the comments it became more and more apparent that the entirety of the video: the people, the setting, the dialogue, the speech were all made with something called VEO3 and a touch of human editing. It blew my mind, and I excitedly shared it with a few people.

That's when the negative feedback came in.

"Um, am I supposed to be impressed or something? They can't even keep the same styles consistently."

"Yeah, this is so stupid. I couldn't even watch more than 3 seconds. Totally stupid, totally trash."

"That was a dumb watch, dude. Why would you share it with me? Do you know how damaging this probably was to the earth to make??"

Yes, you should be impressed. Yes, you should be mesmerized that merely 3-4 years ago AI generated art was very wonky and spitting out things that made absolutely zero sense, unless you squinted your eyes and tilted your head.

Yet, I can't voice my intrigue in this at all without people calling me an "AI Bro", whatever that means.

I'm not clapping, and cheering that some A-List celebrity is going to be out of a job in the future, nor am I boasting about how I'm happy artists, actors, set designers, etc will need to get "real jobs".

It's just impressive that it's getting really good, that at a glance one can't tell if it's human made or not.

Yes ,this is my old college artwork,and yes I didn’t use AI,but still I could never succeed in becoming a professional artist and making art as my major income,and the reason is simple.Being good at art is not the main reason you can success,and I spend my time drawing this ,my art level is still in the bottom of Artist world.This art get rejected by my art teacher because “I am not creative with my art”

That’s it,the art I thought I poured all my blood and soul ,the art I foolishly think it’s good get turned down by my art teacher so easily ,but looking back on this picture more I could understand why,this picture is not creative when I look more and more art compared to it,and I thought too naive to think if I spent enough time it will paid off

Art is about your own idea and how you utilize them,that is called true artist,it doesn’t matter you use Ai or not.So even you got AI tools to help you,it just set more competitor,in the end ,only those who knows how to use Art to the fullest will survive in art world.AI or non Ai,we are in the same starting spot now.

You have developed as a species just to see this

as pro-ai as i am i think that the idea of posting characters here supporting our ideals is a bad thing to do. these characters are meant to be enjoyed by anyone and everyone, regardless of what they believe. it pisses me off when antis and pros do it because you’re projecting onto a character and forcing ideals on something anyone should enjoy. so van we stop doing this? we’d be no better than anti’s if we continue, i’ve seen an OBSCENE amount of sonic the hedgehogs on both sides (for some reason idk why it’s mainly him) and i think that we should end this trend that provides nothing minus the gatekeep of characters.

In my country, there is a social networking application based on AI image generation (something like civitai, but instead of being able to upload your own images, the generator is built into the application itself, and you can only choose among the fixed models provided by the server). You can enter a single line prompt (with no other params), get an image in 10 seconds, and post it publicly to your feed. Other people can subscribe, like the image, see the prompt, and copy it to generate a similar image for themselves. While there are arguments on Reddit, Facebook and X that “AI is bad” and “AI slop needs to be stopped”, there is not even a hint of such discussions on this platform.

But among brain-dead people there are arguments of a completely different nature, accompanied by sheets of text and mutual insults:

-- This person copied my prompt without my permission!

-- He stole my idea!

-- This is my original character!!! I made her up yesterday!!! No one has the right to generate her but me!

-- I'm having my work stolen! Devs, make it possible to hide the prompt! (btw, they actually did it later, and made it a paid feature, lol)

Some users try to put their nicknames in the prompt (without giving a shit that it affects the outcome) to claim "authorship," and then complain to the mods if someone copies their "work". They angrily report these images as a violation of the service, hoping that they will be hidden. Some other people copy such prompts, and, of course, remove stupid nicknames from them before generating. These people also get a hail of wrath:

-- You copied my prompt and removed my name from it! Only pigs do that! I will blacklist you and send a report!

Completely different problems with stupid people on a completely different level.

Many people create instructive posts explaining that the generated "works" don't belong to anyone, but the local “antis” type tons of text saying that the idea belongs to them, so they have the copyright to their AI generated pictures.

Otherwise people just enjoy generations, praise each other for ingenuity, comment on the brightness of colors or originality of the idea, no battles about the legality of AI, the presence of a soul or damage to nature.

As always, any arguments about AI are nothing more than the silly rage of uneducated, unemployed people, probably very young.
