Yes, I do disagree. As I pointed out this is the result of working for a shitty corporation.

Are all newspapers firing all artists? No, not at all.

There are great reasons not to like AI. Violations to copyright and bad business practices using at as an excuse to lay off staff are not the reasons. It is a red hearing.

I don’t know what you think of capitalism. You could let me know if you like.

Translation: Not all of your base is ready to abandon Ukraine yet so give some lip service about Russia.

The land of the rape seed…

Thanks for clearing that up.

Lol, good one.

They already created their own version. Go the fuck home and play in your shitty fort of conservative conspiracy theories.

I am thinking the Alien with his mini mouth sticking out. But yes, the predator looks fine as well.

That would be a no then. Cheers!

Uhhhh

“Recently researchers documented Amazon River dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) performing a curious behavior: aerial urination. A male turns on its back at the water’s surface and ejects a stream of pee into the air—and almost 70 percent of the time, the team reported in Behavioural Processes, a nearby male “receiver” approaches this spontaneous fountain.”

Oh gawd I am dying over here lol

Oh please, if that was the truth then AI proves it wouldn’t happen. After all they have pretty much violated the copyright of every artist on earth without so much as a slap on the wrist.

I get it, you don’t like AI. I don’t like how we are using these Large Language Models speculations to create a boom/bust economic cycle. This isn’t even the worst of it as it is also being used by authoritarian governments to target people. To top it off it is just a general buzz word businesses are using to rip off consumers.

There are a lot more negative things as well. What OP is upset about though is a problem with business in general. If you are going to hate on AI at least hate it for real reasons.

Please read my original post. There are plenty of good reasons to hate AI. You want to talk about them?

Watching it now, I am pretty sure I know most the history but there is always more to learn. Thanks!

"In law, “stealing” generally refers to the act of taking someone else’s property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. "

Clearly you are full of it. That is why copyright is a civil and not criminal matter.

At any rate, I get it. You are probably some corporate bootlicker who thinks copyright protects the artist.

Yo, that is my sequence of 0’s and 1’s is how ridiculous it all is in the digital era. Not to mention I have to pay for and maintain the hardware to even access the content.

I also have a hard time understanding the self imposed artificial scarcity we live with. Copying work/art/ideas/science is literally the point of humanity. We are truly living in a perverse time where corporations steal our culture and spoon feed it back to us for profit and control.

Great work! Somehow I feel like it would look better reversed though with the alien at the table and two predator chicks.

Mate, I already explained it is not stealing. When I said I think you are wrong about the definition of stealing I was being generous.

The definition of stealing is literally depriving someone else of property. This does not happen in copyright cases which are a civil matter rather than criminal matter.

The OP is also wrong for the reasons I already pointed out. Those being that the reason they are losing their job is not because of AI but because they work for a shitty capitalist corporation.

As I alluded if his job would have been replaced by a foreigner who was paid far less he would also not be okay with it and his comic would likely look very racist.

This is because the problem is not AI in this situation. Do you have an opinion on this?

I love our spiderman meme culture where everyone is pointing their fingers at each other accusing them of stealing their idea/song/art/etc.

I can never understand how people carry so much water for corporations who could care less about them. We are supposed to rearrange our entire society around their revenue streams.

What are you even talking about. Please state what you think is the problem.

I think you are wrong.

Stealing requires depriving someone of their property.

If my daughter draws a character from Totoro she has done nothing wrong. She has not stolen anything. If my daughter draws a new character in the style of Totoro she has also not stolen anything.

What you are talking about is copyright infringement.

Let me ask you this. If OP was replaced by an artist from India who works for 1/10 the price would this all be suddenly okay?

No, it would not be. The problem this person is complaining about is not about AI. It is a much bigger problem that both of you fail to recognize.

Art is iterative so the concept that you need permission to use a style is ridiculous. Certainly Studio Ghibli did not invent that art style.

As I was saying “stealing” is bullshit because you are not depriving the originator of anything. What you are talking about is copyright infringement.

Personally I detest the whole concept of imaginary property. So your not going to convince me AI is bad because of it.

Here here! We don’t have to stay on his shitty sinking ship. Let the captain go to Davey Jones Locker!
