In situations like this, it's best to remember why dead languages are dead: Nobody speaks these languages anymore because everyone kept accidentally casting spells!

Clearly, you do not understand THE POWER of corrugated cardboard!
This is hilarious because the whole reason why the Trump administration appointed military lawyers as immigration judges was to deny more amnesty cases. The idea being that because they're also soldiers, they must have less compassion and are less likely to believe immigrants are in danger if they return to their country of origin.
Turns out that because military lawyers have seen more of the world's dangerous places than your typical immigration judge, they're much more likely to believe that any given immigrant is telling the truth about their home country being dangerous.
Unless they're Ron DeSatan, of course.
8% of total global aviation emissions doesn't put it in second place. It's not even in the top 100. I don't think it ever will be... Because building huge data centers takes years and by the time there's enough data centers to make a huge dent, the previous AI data centers will have been used to make fusion power a reality.
Today's fusion reactor designs were all made thanks to AI. The kind running in big data centers.
It takes a lot of computing power to simulate fusion reactor designs!
Impossible to untangle the knots in it.
It's off the old block. Just don't put it on your shoulder.
You bring up a great point! When someone does that: Painting a replica and passing it off as their own, what law have they violated? They have committed fraud. That's a counterfeit.
Is making a counterfeit stealing? No! It's counterfeitting. That is it's own category of law.
It's also a violation of the owner's copyright but let's talk about that too: If I pay an artist to copy someone's work, who is the copyright violator? Me, or the artist that painted it? Neither! It's a trick question, because copyright law only comes into force when something is distributed. As long as those works never get distributed/viewed to/by the public, it's neither here nor there.
The way AI works is the same as if you took a book you purchased, threw it in a blender, then started pasting chunks of words out of it in a ransom note.
Woah! Piracy is not considered stealing. The MPAA and RIAA made that argument over and over and over again in the 90s and early 2000s and they lost. Thank the gods!
You would download a car!
If piracy was stealing, we'd all be waiting for our chance to watch TV shows in a queue of thousands.
Copyright violations are not theft. They never were and they never will be. Because no one is deprived of anything when something is copied. In theory, there could've been a lost sale as a result but study after study has shown that piracy actually improves sales of copyrighted works.
When an AI is trained on images that YOU—the artist—posted to the public Internet for the world to see it will either increment or decrement a floating point value by like 0.01. That's it! That's all it does.
How can that be considered "stealing"‽ It's absurd.
That's not "upscaling". That's having the AI color it in for you. Like a comic artist who has a colorer (person that literally does that).
Upscaling just makes the image bigger (resolution-wise). It uses the same exact technology as regular AI image generation though 🤷
There's degrees to everything. AI haters are at the point where they're arguing with digital artists over what counts as art and it's getting insane.
Don't say, "stolen". It's the wrong word. "Copied" is closer but really, "trained an AI model with images freely available on the Internet" is more accurate but doesn't sound sinister.
When you steal something, the original owner doesn't have it anymore. AIs aren't stealing anything. They're sort of copying things but again, not really. At the heart of every AI LLM or image model is a random number generator. They aren't really capable of copying things exactly unless the source material somehow gets a ridiculously high "score" when training. Such as a really popular book that gets quoted in a million places on the Internet and in other literature (and news articles, magazines, etc... anything that was used to train the AI).
Someone figured out that there's so much Harry Potter quotes and copies in OpenAI's training set that you could trick it into outputting something like 70% of the first book, one very long and specific prompt at a time (thousand of times). That's because of how the scoring works, not because of any sort of malicious intent to violate copyright on the part of OpenAI.
Nobody's stuff is being stolen.
Probably an anti-counterfeit watermark.
It's not a big deal. It's silly and hilarious. Own it 😁
