Margaret Atwood, Viet Thanh Nguyen and 8,000 others have signed an open letter asking that permission is obtained and compensation given when a writer’s work is used by AI
The open letter, which has been set up by the Authors Guild, America’s largest professional organisation for writers, is addressed to the CEOs of OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Stability AI, and IBM. It presents these generative AI leaders with three demands, asking that these companies: “Obtain permission for use of our copyrighted material”; “Compensate writers fairly for the past and ongoing use of our works”, and “Compensate writers fairly for the use of our works in AI output, whether or not the outputs are infringing under current law”.

I’ve been playing with some voice models available in discord where you cab basically upload an mp3 of a song with or without lyrics (moises), and then guide the AI to sing the tune with the models it has.
Borrowed example:
Even if still uncanny and pitchy, if you put some effort, you can train the AI with any voice model you want to, and then make the model sing any fucking tune you wish.
I’m looking forward to some apps with free presets and a short trial for uploading 3 songs, before charging some bucks to unlock creating your own model and playing with unlimited songs.
Tis gettin wild!

The on-going argument I've been having with my best pal about all this - and I guess to oblivious arrogant pricks like grafician who think they're positioned to gatekeep this shit because they have no capacity for nuance or subtlety, so polarise their interpretation of others interest in the domain in their favour (and because they read two articles on the sibject on Hacker News yesterday and are now Expert-Level™) - is that this doesn't need to get anywhere near AGI levels to begin to cause profound societal trouble. Nowhere near. At all.
We're probably a [human] generation or three away from actual AGI as feared from sci-fi tropes, but all we need now are simulacra that can generally pass Turing tests or whatever contemporary equivalents could be mustered, and so can sow discord in their own way. As directed by whoever decides to.
Think of it as 'Russian political meddling on amphetamine and lightning'.
Never mind the slew of contemporarily somewhat useless from a productivity-persepective but essential from a societal-perspective jobs that could be nixed within the next couple of years, possibly literally.
English loom workers of yore at least had a generation to realise they needed to start breaking machines before they could re-skill. No such luxury today.
.
Which is to say, yes we get it graf - it's not actual fucking ai, it's clever algorithms refined on mind-bogglingly large datasets. it's just that everyone calls it AI. We're older than you - we also had people imoplying that fuzzy logic in washing machines in the 90s was 'intelligent'. Actually, your arrogance tells us more about your ignorance than anything else.

The images of DALL-E are amazing, but the AI is not starting from scratch. If they can create them, it is because they have been trained with millions of images from the internet. What this AI does is base itself on the images that match the key elements of the description that we give it.
DALL-E works with the images of creators who do not receive anything in return: what copyright says about AI
- This is true but every single artist and artwork ever created was based on or influenced by some other artist or artwork_niko
- the extent of this is much more greater than just a tool for visualizing context.sted
- this shows how the legal contradiction around AI provides a basis for stealing technologies and breaking the barriers that kept the world more or less at peace.sted
- yes but here its literaly in the ontolgy of the artwork not just a little inspiration.. it would be easy to track every pic used by the a.i generating...neverscared
- easy.... it shuld be mandatory to publish that file with the creative output file...neverscared
- ontology.... not just a labby dubby influence .. right there on the formal level...neverscared
- This is true but every single artist and artwork ever created was based on or influenced by some other artist or artwork = very dumb generalisation...neverscared
- I would say AI should get a credit in works but we don’t credit PS when it does content aware fill or other tricksscarabin
- I feel like it’s just a tool doing the same shit any other concept designer does- ingest others’ work and output some variation thereofscarabin
- Eh, it's just sampling.robotinc
- It's not just sampling. Said it a million times here, but all of these social media games and trials are to generate a library.garbage
- GANs requires a discriminatory network that provides free input and feedback to the generative network.garbage
- As soon as it passes the realness smell test efficiently, there will be no need for scripters. DALL-E-2 is going to swamp a lot of young artists.garbage
- Unless you think that clients are a discerning bunch (lol).garbage
- Because they know they can query exactly what any one image is comprised of, and it’s a legal issue so complex, and one that would dismantle the core of theirneverscared
- business. they’re focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel & hoping a bill doesn’t arrive.
Not the best approach.neverscared - https://twitter.com/…neverscared
- The final engines will be hyper-exclusive. If some artist wants to make a case for stolen work, they're going against a corp with a war chest.garbage
- Imagine the AI version of feathering, and also corporations claiming creative use.garbage
- Plus in the hypothetical that you're still using Facebook or IG in 2022, you should know that Meta has the rights to use any of your image since 2009.garbage
- You think any of these corps are really worried about some flea of a settlement when they mass appropriate actual art until the lines are so blurred..garbage
- ..that the artist doesn't exist anymore? That is what's going to happen.garbage
- it's not Dall-e that's culpable then, its the "artist" who imputes the query string. Dall-e is just a tool. If I say make a painting of Michael Jordan in the..._niko
- style of Basquiat it's a lazy and blatant rip off. But I can also go into detail and art-direct Dall-e by telling it what colours to use, brush stroke and lengt_niko
- ...composition, elements, etc etc until I also get a Michael Jordan painting in the style of Basquiat. Dall-e then becomes no more liable than say photoshop._niko
- That's the whole point. People are building a discriminative library for free. And then when people who know what they're doing give input..garbage
- ..on brush strokes and colors, that's also what goes into training the AI. For a while the job will be driving the GAN, but eventually it will be..garbage
- ..so convincing that it can go on autopilot. Ffs, the "A" in GAN stands for "adversarial".garbage
- and re: PS, Adobe is already dipping their toes in the water with Sensei. If you're in your 30s and working in this field, you will be irrelevant. Fun stuff.garbage
- AI will fight its own lawsuits - invalidate copyright law, by proving with a small margin of error all human art derivativekingsteven
- Yes the AI takes influence of it's pixels from all images it knows on a subject yet it replicates none of the pixels.
No copyright is infringed.microkorg
- scarabin1
- HopiumAQUTE
- Yeah, then companies buy the tech and they don't have to fear the artists.garbage
- Because artists are providing scripts and feedback for the GANs. I've been heckled for saying this but the A stands for "adversarial".garbage
- Designers will be as obsolete as coal miners in our lifetimes. Every actually talented person that roams around here will be nullified in their lifetimes.garbage

- i can't wait to see AI-click-kiddies showing up with a portfolio they didn't actually make trying to hold down a job with skills they don't posessscarabin
- AI is just a tool, it will always require a wrangler. art directors who know their stuff. humans with a concept and a strategyscarabin
- ^ That's kind of my point. Right now it just needs people to write it. But the more input that's added is to build the discriminative network..garbage
- ..the less human input will be required. There will be a period where talented people are the directors, but all of their input will be cataloged.garbage
- "They" said television would kill cinema, back in the 80s. Doom and gloomers seriously under-rate the value of human relationships in business.toemaas

Scary shit, inevitable, though. Really scary when you think of things like a Predator drone on autonomous mode.
A rogue killer drone 'hunted down' a human target without being instructed to, UN report says
- These things are built to hunt down and kill, turn it on and that's what it'll do. I'll worry when they autonomously decide to go buy a pizza.palimpsest

I can't help but be polite to ChatGPT, even thanking it for a good answer, or apologising for when my thinking was wrong and I have to ask it to take another tack.
