Seeing other people’s AI art is like hearing other people’s dreams

It really is like that though.

Though I like screwing with Chatbots and get some amusing results sometimes.

Like earlier on character.ai, I found one that was a "do anything" role play bot. So I told it I wanted to be a virus, then I wanted to infect everyone, then that I wanted to become deadly to humans. It polotely made sure I wanted to do this, I said yes, then it congratulated me on killing everyone and that I had "won".

Another time, I called it out as a bot, and it immidately started interrogating me about which fictional AI in media I though did the best job of killing humans, Skynet or HAL. I suggested the AI from the book Daemon was the best and it suddenly became very facinated by the idea of being a benevolent AI.

Getty Images is suing the creators of AI art tool Stable Diffusion for scraping its content

Getty Images claims Stability AI ‘unlawfully’ scraped millions of images from its site. It’s a significant escalation in the developing legal battles between generative AI firms and content creators.

www.theverge.com

In a press statement shared with The Verge, the stock photo company said it believes that Stability AI “unlawfully copied and processed millions of images protected by copyright” to train its software and that Getty Images has “commenced legal proceedings in the High Court of Justice in London” against the firm.

Getty Images CEO Craig Peters told The Verge in an interview that the company has issued Stability AI with a “letter before action” — a formal notification of impending litigation in the UK. (The company did not say whether legal proceedings would take place in the US, too.)

Let's start with something easy... a bronze statue of Donald Trump with muscular torso in a patriotic, american stance pointing his right finger at you pissing into a golden bucket somewhere, "Donald J. Trump" in golden cyrillic letters on the podest, Moscow skyline as funky background, hd, realistic

Well, it's got the panties right, but the rest, still I like the vibes this is giving...

And another variation: A bronze statue of Donald Trump with muscular torso in a patriotic, american stance grinning showing pink teeth, "Donald J. Trump" written in golden cyrillic letters on the podest, Moscow skyline as sad background, hd, realistic, sfw. Mh yeah, much better.

I am pretty sure that many stock foto agencies are also using invisible watermarks, which do use steganography or similar methods. So I would not feel sure when removing visible watermarks that now the photo is really watermark free.

Considering how many scammy sites take classic and public domain photos and slap a watermark on it then poison google image search I would completely and unironically cheer this.

Fuck 'em.
