Haha

Read headline, ok. Look for Onion source... fuck.

Ah yes, the incredibly popular pro-AI pro-copyright stance. He's going to get very far with that one.

The "artist":

This is like piracy, just because you claim you loose money, doesn't mean any sane being would pay you even if it was necessary, most would rather just not.

I can generate Mandelbrot pictures that no one else has ever seen. That doesn't make me an artist.

He’s not an artist though.

This is actually the art bit, right? He’s doing conceptual art, like that Banksy that shredded itself upon sale.

I'm in the same boat. Every time someone reads one of my comments and doesn't pay me for it, that's money out of my pocket. It's a hard life being an internet commenter these days.

First off, stop calling him an AI artist.

One of the reasons I like AI art is that it's pretty settled law that something produced by purely "mechanical" means can't itself have copyright, since copyright requires both originality and a human author.

It seems like a reasonably compromise, the AI was created by hoovering up the commons, so anything it creates should belong to the commons. I expect a lot of lobbying in the future to try and change it though.

Fuck him.

If he is considered "Artist" I am too.

Oh no, the consequences of your own actions! That art competition should just add a rule "only copyrightable works"

"Famous AI 'Prompter' Says He's Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Stolen Work."

Seems like you did this to yourself, bud. You're just mad you didn't get paid enough for stealing.

LMAO!!!!

Next.

How is he losing millions of dollars? If you're just trying to get into the art fraud money laundering scheme thing then make an NFT and find an idiot. But just the creation of a piece (be it traditional, digital, or "ai") doesn't entitle you to a payout. And if you're just complaining about the dissemination of the piece you asked someone else's computer to generate for you without a kick back link tax, well--that's not how copyright, the internet, or normal human correspondence works.

I'm collecting all his tears to cook a big pot of pasta. Not sure how anyone would make "millions of dollars" from a single artwork anyway.

How much did the real artists lose out on in order to train the AI?

lol get fucked loser. (the "artist", not OP)

Lol, lmao even

He is not being the neighborly neighbor Mr Rogers wanted him to be.
