I keep going back to ONI to try and get into its endgame. But I quickly start getting kicked around in a back alley by the temperature stuff. Like trying to figure out colony-wide temperature control.

The factory must expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory can expand so the factory…

Ah, I have fond memories of PS2. I slowly stopped playing when I started finding less and less coherent platoons working together. I’d join squads that were spread all over the map. It had so many fun things with it too, but somewhere along the way I started losing interest.

I’m taking the bait.

The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn’t his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that’s still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

And this isn’t the same as line tracing or referencing other’s art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It’s drawn from the work of humans.

Moreover, I don’t want to remove the human element from art ever.
