    per Wikipedia

    On September 21, 2022, Allen submitted an application to the us copyright office for registration of the image. Prior to the first formal refusal, the Copyright Office Examiner requested that the request would exclude any features of the image generated by Midjourney. Allen declined the request and requested copyright for the whole image.

    So what I’m getting from that is his Photoshop edits aren’t significant enough to constitute a copyrightable work on their own and the copyright office was right to deem it a non-human production.

    Another idiot who thinks “prompt engineering” is a real skill and not just another step those companies are using idiots for free AI training.

    You ask AI to draw a ninja turtle on a skateboard, and that “effort” they put into phrasing their request well enough for the AI to understand makes the AI learn the 10 past attempts were looking for what the 11th got

    And now it won’t take ten tries to go that route

    Any “skill” by the user has a very short expiration date because the next version won’t need it thanks to all the time users spent developing those “skills”.

    But no one impressed with AI is smart enough to realize that. And since they’re the on s training the AI…

    Idiots in, idiots out

      I use ai when I use search engines. This makes the search engines better. I also use ai when I get spotify suggestions. I use ai when I use autocorrect. I use ai without even realizing I’m using ai and the ai improves from it, and I and many other people get an improved quality of life from it, that’s why nearly everyone uses it just like I do.

      So, @givesomefucks , do you also regularly use ai that improves from from your usage? Or are you not a hypocrite who thinks there is something morally bad about specific ais that you don’t like while doing exactly what you claim to be against with other ais? How are your moral lines drawn?

        Thanks for the example!

        Whether an individual determines AI “smart” depends on how smart the person is. We’re all all our own frame of reference.

        I have no doubt AI impresses you every day of your life, even stuff that’s not AI apparently, because not all of your examples were.

    It’s not “famous” that should be in inverted commas, but “artist”.
