Kbin calls them "magazines", which has the advantage of being only three syllables but has the disadvantage of being a dumb name for them.

The AI witch hunt is kicking into high gear. This law explicitly allows burning people that had nothing to do with AI witchcraft in the first place.

How convenient for the witch hunters that this includes people who make parodies about the witch hunters.

Especially if those thieves live outside of US jurisdiction.

If they're in a jurisdiction that doesn't define what they're doing as "thievery", are they thieves? That's kind of a problem if go down that path, there are plenty of jurisdictions that criminalize things that people inside the US do freely.

it seems like the examples they mention in the article; - parody, public figures, film rights, etc. - are already pretty well carved out in the courts.

I can’t just make a biopic about Michael Jackson

Is Michael Jackson not a public figure?

I also don't consider them a "nightmare", so that sounds fine to me.

All of those limitations you describe on AI also apply to a lot of humans.

It's always a crapshoot "psychoanalyzing" anything over the Internet, let alone an AI, but I'm betting that some of the concepts involved in the image are coming along with baggage that the AI is having a hard time getting over.

  • Ghosts are usually depicted chasing something, not being chased themselves.
  • Pac Man is a protagonist, usually when there's art depicting Pac Man he is depicted front and center.

So it's weighing your "have Pac Man chase the ghosts" directive against "but ghosts normally do the chasing" that it has learned from its training set and it ends up that way.

Not sure what to try to swing the interpretation. Maybe describe the ghosts as cowardly and terrified to put more weight into "they're being chased?" Describe Pac Man as menacing or looming to make it more appropriate for him to be behind them?

Yup. I of course mean that in the nicest way, but you're saying "the magic art robot that can paint me a high-quality picture in a matter of seconds for free isn't quite understanding what I'm telling it to do." Seemed like a good opportunity to reflect on how the technology for this stuff was like just six months ago. :)

I've lost track because I don't care who the whipping boy is supposed to be. I form my own opinions.

The current top whipping boy is AI, apparently. "AI must be bad" is the highest level assumption, so apparently even in this piracy community that overrides the usual "copyright must be bad" assumption.

Or is it actually "Meta must be bad?" I've lost track of who the Five Minutes Hate is supposed to be directed at lately.

What a bunch of losers, thinking they are making the future…… by stealing from as many artists as they can?

Are you aware of which community this is posted in?
