OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series::A new research paper laid out ways in which AI developers should try and avoid showing LLMs have been trained on copyrighted material.
You are conditioning the rights of artists making derivative works to the rights of systems being used to take advantage of those artists without consent or compensation. Not only those are two different situations but also supporting the latter doesn’t mean supporting the former.
Like I said somewhere in this discussion, AI are not people. People have rights that tools do not. If you want to argue in favor of parody and fan artists, do that. If you want to speak out again how the current state of copyright makes it so corporations rather than the actual artists gets the rights and profit over the works they create, do that. Leaping in defense of AI is not it.
I’m challenging the legal precedent of the barrier of creating derivative works in any media, including AI.
Well, I believe AI and human creative rights ought to be treated separately. If nothing else because you can find plenty of derivative work creators which are perfectly fine with supporting each other and collaborating, but do not want their works to be fed into AI so that it can imitate and undercut them. This shouldn’t even be difficult in a logical or philosophical sense because we already treat animals as separate from humans as far as intellectual property rights go.
