I said ban for creative works, at least for commercial use, which is a very little part of what can be done with AI; and maybe personal informations processing though, cause you know… privacy

Yeah that’s what I meant tho. It’s a useful tool for creating art in human-ai collaboration. Why should it be banned for that? The real problem is that people who give the data don’t see a dime. But if you could fix that (see Jaron Laniers work on micro-payments) it should be available for everything. The downside of this ‘fair’ system would be a total surveillance society tho.

And yes, it already happens: many TV series on Netflix are a rip off of other successful series (most of the time produced by Netflix), which flood the platform; it happens with every single successful serie. You can find dozens if not more of the same, fucking, TV serie with a different name but with the same old jokes, characters, plot point and sometime style.

It is cheaper and lucrative to cancel what doesn’t work and re-iterate on the same shitty formula until the crap sticks on the wall. And it works, they do it, and they do it now.

But what’s the unique role of AI here? People have been doing this since forever. It’s just a matter of personal taste if you consume it or not. And if your Art is outstanding enough you will still be able to live from it. I’m assuming that if everyone copies your work, you will have been successful before already.

This is quite easy actually, while it’s hard for technical things. Taking inspiration doesn’t mean copying. Modern “AI” doesn’t think, which means anything it does is a copy.

You’re making it too easy for yourself. Is an AI work a copy if it doesn’t resemble the original anymore? What if the human work resembles the copy more than the AI work? Is it still just an inspiration? What about human-ai collaborative pieces? What is thinking, what is inspiration, what is a copy?

There’s a reason why these questions have such an elaborate philosophical backbone.

“AI” are a beautiful thing, but in our current society, where profits is everything and people are nothing but a number, they are the scariest shit ever

Oh yeah true that haha.
