@davidrevoy I think it would be cool if we as artists could come up with a license for our art as a community for this exact thing.

@davidrevoy

But the A.I. companies disagree, and that is what matters. / sarcasm, mostly.

The unfortunate reality is even Disney has been fighting against A.I. usage, but somehow they're always given a pass. The closest they got to "winning" was a settlement once.

@mhunt @davidrevoy

Laws already make so many shitty things people do with AI illegal. Enforcement has just decided not to care and let it slide.

@EvelynOctavia @davidrevoy it's clearly different shapes altogether even. The arms are different lengths and it seems she has three knees??? Tiles are a different pattern, the expressions are different, and the angles are changed.

@discatte @davidrevoy Gross!

@davidrevoy That is the wrong way to try to solve the problem.

By referring to slop machines as "AI", you are supporting corporation's propaganda.

Why run proprietary software and SaaSS to check grammar? Your brain can do that and it seems free grammar checking programs already existed.

I'm not confident copyright or moral wrongs laws even permits such restrictions anyway (restrictions on use are a terrible idea, even if legally valid and even if at the start it's only restricts immoral activities; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freedom-to-run.en.html).

A correct way to try to solve the problem, that does not require modifying CC licenses, is to license CC BY-SA 4.0 and enforce the attribution part.

>99% of the time someone makes a degenerated copy, they won't have included the attribution and/or added their own proprietary restrictions, thus you can demand that the slop is deleted and permanently terminate the license.

@davidrevoy those generated images are revolting

@bstacey @f4grx @davidrevoy left arm is now severely undergrown compared to right arm

[kuba@ruby.social]

@bstacey
n. left hand's point finger grown "AI bonus branching finger"

@f4grx @davidrevoy 9. Hem of shirt has changed in a way that loses character
10. Pendant has changed, thin chain necklace has become a ribbon
11. Third knee?

@davidrevoy Edited: I was trapped by the title which is inclined to believe you adopted an esoteric copyright license, which in case it would not block who we intend to block, as LLM slop do not fall in copyright.

That's a new trend: tending to all rights reserved, or some restrictions reserved in the hope to stop LLM, but we are just stopping us from collaborating and LLM will grow anyway, and we lose.

Glad you are using moral rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights Thanks! Interesting.

AI girl is crying
Over an unbroken pumpkin
There are no tears

@davidrevoy I don't get why meat puppets submit to the machine in the first place. But I extra don't get *sending you* the results.

If I was making garbage of someone's work, I'd just keep it to myself, or sell it without notice if I had no ethics.

[hadokowa@mas.to]

@davidrevoy I wonder how many of us chose Creative Common licenses with the obvious thinking that those licenses would forbid AI use?

[dajb@social.coop]

@dalias @poleguy @cwebber @davidrevoy no

If only it were that simple:

"CC licenses apply only when copyright permission is required. If exceptions or limitations apply, then the CC license terms don’t apply."

@davidrevoy I remembered this tweet from the Pope while looking at the "Generative AI version" next to the OG version.

Obviously, pig having sex with pig is nothing to be frowned upon.

[richrockster@mastodon.social]

@h5e @f4grx @davidrevoy that “better” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Whatever happened to respecting art and ideas? I can understand wanting to see a ‘finished’ version of the sketch in the example, but that’s not up to me or a machine to do so. Just leave it to the imagination - of which AI bros have none (imho)
