Well you did think about Mario that one time so surely they have a case.
Nintendo probably think breathing within 500 km of one of their products constitutes copyright violation.
“We can already stifle creativity through the courts though?”
Refreshing a company is not jumping on the hype train
Realistically they weren’t going to, were they?
They’re not a big tech company, not really, there’s no reason they would have the necessary compute to develop an AI in the first place so what they’re really announcing is that something that no one expected them to do is not going to happen.
In similarly news, Crayola are not going to develop an AI.
That said, they’re not likely to license an already made AI for their projects either, which is also nice.
I didn’t really expect them to do that either, because what would it do?
The reason companies like Google are developing an AI is because they have a lot of processor capacity anyway, so they can make use of it and they have a broad enough product catalog that it fits with their current offerings.
That direction is litigation via patent trolling
They wouldn’t, you can’t claim ownership of AI generated material in many places. So for such a litigant company AI is a no go.
