    Impressionists have nothing to do with this. If I scraped all Beyonce’s videos, cut it up and join it into another video, and called it “Beyonce: resurrected”, I’m not doing am impression. I’m stealing someone’s work and likeness for commercial purposes. Are you sad that your garbage generator is just a plagiarism machine?

    Actually cutting it up into another video makes it transformative and it’s protected under the DMCA. Thank you for proving you don’t know what you’re talking about. Take care.

    Sure mate. You try selling a copy of it. Likewise. You’re either too dumb or stubborn to even google what “transformative work” is. Typical “AI” techbro.

    Then I point you to the mountains of monetized, copyrighted and most importantly transformative YTP videos… and all of the sudden your new example is

    Take a Taylor Swift song. Sing on top of it. Try selling it with the name “Taylor Swift - I’m Not Dead”

    Which is a copyright violation, and still not how the Carlin vid was made. But yeah…not shifting goalposts.

    Making your examples more irrelevant and “dumbed down” isn’t going to convince anyone. But maybe you’re not even trying to convince anyone. If you want to make a convincing argument, tone down the vitriol and seething, and just talk about how this vid was actually made and how this actually constitutes a copyright violation.

      YTP is satire. It is transformative. Christ, I’m not going to repeat myself over and over. If you don’t comprehend, you don’t comprehend. IDGAF.

      The fact is, the original video is taken private. So there’s the concousion. Bye.

        You started at “all these things that aren’t analogous or comparable to AI violate copyright” and never strayed from that 🤔 but ok bud

        This thread didn’t need any more AI hysteria, but it’s your prerogative to tap out before talking about how AI actually works or how the Carlin vid was actually made
