have fun with this one you perverts, i made it about ai art and copyright abolition
https://youtu.be/ep4Pwjq1c4o

your vids are great!!! anyone who hasn't should watch shitty kickflips rn.

Am I getting old? I watched the whole video and "shitty kickflips" simply didn't interest me. I watch videos on 2X speed, so I am generally fine with motion. The arguments presented were understandable to me. Yet I had the lingering desire to close the video and do something more productive. This is not a criticism, I simply don't considering the video to be of value to me. I laud your efforts. Have a nice day.

am i getting old?

yes.
don't already have opinions on copyright, some people haven't watched patricia taxxon's video about copyright abolition, some of those might watch this video. some of them might learn something.
my only problem with the video is the adhd camera work. was that added in editing? or was the camera fellow literally messing with the zoom and moving it around constantly. sounds like a lot of effort either way.

the video was just filmed like that lmao, its a stylistic choice

ML industry is a bubble that is going to pop
Yes many things it can do are great
Generating tags for images, absolutely fantastic. Making someone's voice sing a song perfectly with just samples of their voice, very cool.

Generating images, not really a moral issue with me in principle, if there's no profit I don't think anyone should get prosecuted in any way for mass sampling other peoples work but I also don't think it's cool. It's actually really bad social code and you are doing it to create slop. It can actually be useful in some cases, if it's educational I absolutely support it morally or if it's helping you create something else. Publicising AI media that is created with a bunch of samples of other peoples work is a shitty thing that doesn't need to be happening.

Seeing as I am not a capitalist I actually think that heavy use of the power grid for this publicizing of AI media is wrong and that making a large profit from this AI media is wrong. I think that as a reparation of this wrongdoing the profits should be handed to the sites that were scraped and then the money should be used well for the sake of the artist community this situation affected. More direct compensation would be cool but maybe not possible. So essentially I think a court should rule them guilty of violating copyright and fine them.

So I'm fine with the existence of copyright. Also I want to point out, I think if we got into official definitions, despite the distinction, copyleft is a form of copyright rather than the opposite of copyright.

I don't understand why people like the idea of copyright being literally abolished. Is it just that it's easy to communicate and spread the message of? So that we can see the evil/pointless aspects of copyright get abolished along with the entirety of copyright (except copyleft copyright where you're basically just crediting who's involved)?

I just think that copyright is obviously good when it can challenge profit makers from just nabbing stuff. I like transformative reuse and don't think people should have friction when doing art like that, I think those people should probably be left completely alone most of the time even if they make a good chunk of profit.

Anyway I think creative commons releases on your Soundcloud and Twitter stuff is great and the advocacy of this kind of thing is great and I don't necessarily have any concern that people on these sites should be in guaranteed some kind of wage for what they're doing I'm not about that I just think big profits should be challenged and redistributed when people just found an easy way to nab stuff other people did.

Good vid please take this in good spirits I just find that (absolute) copyright abolition is a strange thing for people to want

So far I've written down three use cases for "AI Art":
1. To produce massive quantities of sub-optimal but decent enough pictures — works okay for cases like packaging design where you'd need a picture of a rag wiping a clean line into a specific type of furniture or material or something else nobody wants to do and nobody really looks at.

2. To generate something so time-constuming no artist with some sanity would do by themselves, or to stumble upon generated concepts of something that goes against general artistic conventions. Case in point for both of these are the "endless harem" type AI pics where the anime girls are filling up the picture until the horizon in some perspective-defying space. Outfit ideas or variations (lewd or otherwise) generated by an AI also go here.

3. Which is a mix of the first two, where the randomness of the AI is explored for high quantity of just complete bullshit much akin to plucking videos into Content Aware Scale or songs into Melodyne and laughing at the how the computer breaks them.

No need to make videos about the AI bubble, it was already done in 1984.

>>8 oh god expert systems ptsd
that's some peak lisp and prolog era stock.
honestly feel like some of the techniques from this era being applied as a layer with llm for interfacing might lead to much better results specialized to specific tasks. i'd guess it's probably already being done. These lisp expert systems have been since then and are still being used /a lot/.
