Actually, we can. All that has to happen is for current copyright laws to be enforced. ai companies gleaned billions of copyrighted images from the web. Then turned around and used the images to train their BS. Then paid 1000s of people pennies by the hour to sift through said images and label them over and over and over and… (because after all, ai doesn’t know the difference between a frog and a horse). But ai pockets are too deep and we find ourselves in the situation we’re in now.
What’s hilarious is that ai images can’t be copyrighted. You can even prompt ai to create a more detailed image prompt. It’s to the point now that literally no one using ai is creating anything.
AI is just a compilation of things that already exist, and it's hard to know what percentage of what is being used. most of what is seen in those clips could be mostly actual footage that is combined with a few other details enough to qualify it as "AI." from that perspective, it's not that impressive. I'd be more impressed if there was nothing remotely like what is in the "footage" already
Just think, in a year or two, you’ll be following your favorite ai movie star on the instagrams, liking posts of them purchasing their favorite made-up beverage at their favorite made-up starbucks. Sounds dreamy.
The craziest thing I've seen is AI...onlyfans. I think it's pathetic enough to pay for a real girl but to pay for some guy's AI creation is next level c-cked.
AI needs new human-generated content to create content. It needs to constantly be fed data like a weather model or it goes stale. It's not sentient.
The worst possible thing to happen for this AI revolution is data getting hidden behind a paywall or going off-grid. Data is the currency that will get harder to get as people get wiser and go de-centralized or off-grid.

I will most definitely not be doing that, but you do you

Nah dog, AI is transcends copyrights and intellectual property.
We've created an alien form of intelligence from sand (silicone).
We trained it on our own data, from our own human experience, but in reality we don't even know how it thinks or what it is. Even the top AI labs admit this.
We're hurdling towards a completely new reality. And you're here talking about copyrights. OK, sure bud.
The only thing I can think of that makes me less worried about this is the fact that people in 20 years might realize how dumb and pointless it is to just "consume content from screens." Isn't there a chance people will get bored of videos?
I like reading people's opinions on Letsrun because you are actual people. But in terms of "looking at videos," I am over it already. I never scroll. And if AI produced a million hours of "content" then I don't think I would click on any of it. I am bored of videos of all kinds. Aren't you?
Things I did today: pre-work meeting (not zoom), full day of work with real humans, drank a great coffee, ran 61 minutes (trail/road mix), then watched my kid PR at a track meet in the 3200m. It was all "in real life."
This post is the first thing "on screen" I've done today since I don't really use my phone for looking at stuff.
