A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My pie in the sky hope is that copyright somehow becomes less stringent after all of this.
Don't get me wrong I want protections for creators and support reasonable copyright (life of the author +25 years with the possibility of a 15 year extension) but letting a company lord over an IP for damn near a century isn't ideal for anyone.
The major scenario that I at least hope holds true out of this is that the AI "creations" aren't eligible for copyright themselves. If the powers that be allow all this AI created stuff copyright protection it's going to be a gigantic mess.
Pure "prompt → image" with nothing in between I absolutely agree. It's lazy and ripe for abuse by copyright trolls. That being said there's a lot more in the world of AI assisted art than what most people are aware of.
Determining where the legal lines will be drawn is going to be a monumental task but I think there's value in allowing authors to retain copyright on AI assisted works. I also can't see the free open source models not going the way of restricting training data to public domain works like Adobe did with Firefly if that becomes a legal issue.
