We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.::Artists and researchers are exposing copyrighted material hidden within A.I. tools, raising fresh legal questions.

If you asked me to draw an Italian video game character, I'd draw Mario too. Why can't an AI make copyrighted character inspired pics as long as they aren't being sold?

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You credited it just now as Mario, a Nintendo property, which the AI failed to do. Plus, if you were paid to draw Mario then you'd have broken laws about IP. Why don't those same rules apply to AI?

Well that’s exactly the problem. If people use AI generated images for commercial purposes they may accidentally infringe on someone else’s copyright. Since AI models are a black box there isn’t really a good way to avoid this.

Sure there is, force the AI to properly credit artists and if they don't have permission to use the character then the prompt fails. Or the AI operators have no legal rights to charge for services and should be sued into the ground.
