I thought T-Edition was a great redesign of VI along with a bunch of added content

Why is everyone on a race to the bottom nowadays? Almost every action a consumer makes is becoming monetized.

Thanks for sharing this

Why use any human-like image then? A lot of amateur fashion designer on instagram use mannequins or busts. The models are serving a purpose. Removing them means someone loses a job.

If we look at this from top-down you’re right because the company is saving a cost. But from the bottom-up, you’ve just become more expendable. This leads into the arguments others have been making, what happens when eventually people can’t work? And why should we use technology to serve the few and not the many?

They frame this article in such a weird way. Like replacing the models and their jobs was justified because they had egos etc…

I can see similar framing used to replace other workers because they want to be paid fairly or do something drastic like take bathroom breaks… :D

Just… yay!

Sadly no matter what, the big media companies are going to have a huge advantage in everything because of decades of lobbying etc.

I think people should still be able to profit from selling the image themselves, however, I don’t think we have enough knowledge on how AI will truly impact things. If it becomes a minor fad and is just a tool to help speed a process I think the law doesn’t need to change much.

If AI becomes the majority creator on projects then we have to have this conversation about who owns what.

Close models will probably be the future, much like stock photos, and people will have to pay to access the models.

In the end big business will always fuck us over, copyright or not.

I believe a person can still sell or market art that is AI created. I just believe they shouldn’t have total ownership of the work.

Already most creators don’t fret over fanart or fanfiction so there is wiggle room for fair-use. It’s a lot like the game modding scene. Usually modders use pre-existing assets or code to create something new.

Let people play but not own AI work for now.

I agree that AI work should not have copyright protection. Even with human intervention it still collects data, without expressed permission, from numerous sources.

This will actually protect smaller artists. It will prevent giant companies from profiting from their work without credit or payment.
