Generative AI is Not Theft - eviltoast

I created this video after being spammed by artist groups claiming that Generative AI uses copied samples to create work.

    Many are spreading misinformation that Generative AI art is akin to copyright infringement. While this is still being disputed legally, the technical answer is no. AI works much like the creative part of our brain, getting ideas from things it has witnessed, and creating works of it’s own based on that.

      Only if it ‘sees’ the content in real time when programming itself, like a human being does.

      But if a corporation copies that content/data to their servers/hard drives first, then runs training programs on said content/data afterwards, then its copying the content/data first, and violates copyright.
