@GaryMarcus @danielraffel @Rahll I read Reid's link and I agree that those examples are likely to land Midjourney in trouble. They are doing a poor job exploring the parameter space and over-fitting to copyrighted IP.

Being "15%" different is probably all they need to be though

@Rahll @GaryMarcus That could certainly put Midjourney at risk based on my understanding

The delta they need to be from original works isn't well defined, but likely to be judged like porn: you know it when you see it

Research into differential privacy should be applied to copyright to avoid this

@danielraffel @GaryMarcus @Rahll That's the understanding I have after discussing it with multiple lawyers from different firms that I trust to be quite ethical.

If a user says "draw me Mickey Mouse", that user is the violator.

@ryanmhickman @GaryMarcus @Rahll Maybe I missed the context for this clip but...Are you suggesting that there is no issue with the model being trained on any data it has downloaded, and that the problem only occurs when the user requests the model to do something "illegal"?

@GaryMarcus @Rahll He's correct though.

The user of the AI is to blame if they ask the AI to reproduce a copyrighted work.

Feel free to advocate for changing the law, but that's what it says today.

I honestly don’t know if I can keep using Microsoft products when their AI CEO says stuff like this.

Anyone want to join in a boycott? Cc @Rahll

First they came for the artists and the
writers, and then the voiceover actors, now it’s the musicians. Soon it will be everyone.

Microsoft AI CEO says the social contract of content on the open web "is fair use", "anyone can copy it", it's "freeware".
