I wonder if the imaginary hanzi actually means anything.

No.

Just to view the link? Weird! This should be fine though:

Love the code on the walls because that's what I'm looking at you know.

Been trying to do some tilt/parallax wallpapers for my tablet/phone, sort of like a "view into the inside of the device" idea. I've got the basics down but am not really liking the dynamic result yet.

But ChatGPT did make a static background/wallpaper for my big tablet that I really like though:

See, if you were an astronaut, it makes the first job easy, because you just eat that sand stuff they feed Astronauts in the little packets.

I've been having a lot of fun with this one, I rather doubt it will stay free long:

Ya'll are prolly sick of these... but so far I think this is my favorite. Really kinda captures the vibe/style that I've orbited around in SL without ever actually getting there.

I see you used your particle generator for that one.

I am not sick of them, I would do more myself, but I flip flop constantly between "LOL AI makes funny pictures" and "The World Burning Content Theft Machine must die. "

Same. I accept that genie is not going back in the bottle but I don't love AI. The prevailing opinion in my career is that I have to embrace it or risk falling behind... but I hate it, lol.

I also confess I SOMETIMES like AI art. Especially for comedic purposes.

I sorta think of it like the movement that started using sampled music beats to create 'new' music content. There's an art to it, but to me it's more of a craft.

To me, 'Arts' stuff is generally sourced and created from scratch, a very low level to ensure the exact qualities and characteristics desired in an expression of .. something.

and 'Crafts' is assembling more distinct pre-made components into a larger work. (ie: macramé)

So using samples to make new music, or trained AI to make images based on pre-existing works... seems more like a 'craft' to me than an 'art'. I dunno. Maybe I'm off in left field with this.

I do think that AI companies should pay for at least one license of the content that they use and ensure that it's never reproduced exactly or in part, beyond what 'fair use' would allow someone else to publish. It should be careful not to plagiarize. But I'm not sure an author or artist can patent/copyright a 'style' the same way they would a creative work or the subject matter within them.

The model for handling this has been working (imperfectly, but working) for over 100 years. ASCAP, the American Society of Composers and Performers, and BMI, Broadcast Music International, collect music royalties from users; radio stations, background music services, nightclubs, jukebox operators, game makers, etc. (There's a lot of "etc.") They then distribute the royalties to the owners of the copyrights who have registered the title with ASCSAP and/or BMI. Look at any CD or piece of sheet music and you are pretty sure to see one or both mentioned.

Basically, if your tune is more popular you get more money.

Almost universally, the users buy blanket licenses. For a radio station, that means you can play any song that is registered with ASCAP or BMI.

The license fees are based mostly on revenue. They are not cheap! Broadly speaking, every time you play a song it costs somewhere around a penny to a nickel.

Question is, when an AI includes a composition in its training data, is that the same as being played for a person or an audience? It only really needs to hear it once to 'remember' it. If the AI comes up with an answer based on heuristics derived from training data that's comprised of the lyrics from 10,000 songs, does that count as a 1/10,000ths of a use of each song?

I'm sorta glad I'm not part of a committee trying to decide what royalties should be levied for AI involvement in creative content. It's seems like an absolute nightmare.

I'm thinking the LLM company would pay the original data owner to include the data. In turn, their rates are determined by total usage. Do whatever you wish with it after that, so long as said use does not violate existing copyrights.

Not that any of this will happen -- the horse left the barn years ago, and I really doubt there's any way to backtrack to determine precisely what data was used. Besides, the Silicon Valley kleptocrats have purchased themselves a dandy little Federal government.

This was the first version but I asked it to make it more friendly and colorful.

This was just "Jesus as a Gangsta with the word G-sus" on it.
