You advocate a
- technical
- legislative
- social
- harassment-based
approach to fighting AI art. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work.
- I can just download Stable Diffusion and run it on my laptop.
- I can just download LLaMA and run it on my laptop.
- Diffusion models don’t work that way.
- Large language models don’t work that way.
- Copyright law doesn't work that way.
- Fair use doesn't work that way.
- You will not win a lawsuit against Disney.
- It's impossible to prevent people from downloading an image if you send the image to their computer.
- It’s hard for humans to reliably detect if something is AI.
- It’s hard for machines to reliably detect if something is AI.
- The cost of a false positive greatly outweighs the benefits.
- AI detectors are easily circumvented.
- AI detectors have an unacceptably high false positive rate.
- Data poisoning tricks are easily circumvented.
- Your plan would make the Internet Archive illegal.
- Your plan would make Archive of Our Own illegal.
- Your plan would make copy pasting illegal.
- Companies already tried that in court with VHS and that was deemed legal.
- Adobe already has a dataset of licensed art they can train on.
- People could just falsely mass report people they don't like.
- Harassing random artists on the internet doesn't do anything.
- Harassing the social media manager of random companies doesn’t do anything.
- More restrictive copyright laws would further harm small artists.
Specifically, your plan would immediately destroy all of the following types of art:
- Fanart
- Vaporwave
- Collages
- Photobashing
- YTPMVs
- Memes, in general
- Procedurally generated art
- Process art
- Plunderphonics
- Breakcore
- Most genres of EDM
- Photography
- The mere concept of remixing
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
- You can't own an art style.
- It should be morally permissible to make and sell fan art.
- It should be morally permissible to make and sell poorly made art.
- It should be morally permissible to make and sell derivative art.
- Photography already exists and that didn’t cause the death of art.
- Photoshop already exists and that didn’t cause the death of art.
- FL Studio already exists and that didn’t cause the death of art.
- Your idea is the same as what NFTs promise to do.
- “Degenerate art” is a fascist idea.
- At some point, plagiarism of sufficiently many sources is just normal remixing.
- how_people_think_edm_is_made.png
- Curation is a form of intent.
- Nobody is obligated to "prove" their art was made without AI.
- Not all art is about originality.
- Not all art is about author intent.
- Not all art is about who puts in the most effort.
- Not all art is about "soul", whatever that means.
- I should be allowed to compose and distribute a remix of Megalovania without getting permission from Toby Fox himself, even if he doesn't like it.
- In general, it’s wrong to harass people
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
- Sorry, but I don't think it would work.
- This is a bad idea, and no one should listen to your art opinions.
- Fuck off and stop posting goatse in the ai art tag. You are not funny.
