  • If you use that approach there is no way left to claim that current AI models aren’t a huge copyright infringement on the data they were trained on. Because the biggest argument for why AI is supposedly not copyright infringing it’s training data, is because it’s generated images aren’t direct copies of the works if was trained upon.

    But if you start arguing the idea behind a image or the vision is somehow copyrightable than all AI models are illegal. Since they definitely work by using the ideas and visions of artists.



  • As an artist you do not look at how 300 other artists have drawn a banana, you look at a banana and try to understand how you can use different techniques to capture the form, texture, etc. of a banana.

    An AI calculates from hundreds of images the probability of lines and colours being arranged in a certain way and still being interpreted as a banana. It never sees a banana or understands what it is.

    Tell me, where do you see a similarity in these two processes.


  • I don’t see why it is complicated. It should not be copyrightable because ideas aren’t copyrightable.

    Otherwise you definitely have to start fresh with AI and build new ones which somehow aren’t trained on the pictures produced by artists.

    Because if you copyright the idea behind an image, than definitely all AI produced images are infringing on the copyright of the art they used for training.
