Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI

"legal earthquake" Why is everyone talking in apocalyptic terms about AI? A new legal framework will have to be constructed around this, just like with any new technology. Copyright holders will get relief or we don't have a legal system that works. Have we lost faith in our system so much that we think we live in a disaster movie?

I think it's accurate. The foundations of those models are prior material which might be copyrighted.

The premise is rejected reductio ad absurdum, since it inescapably also implies that artists shouldn’t study art.

Because it's good clickbait-generating content. Much like their picture of Mickey promoting a McDonald's.

Back in the 70's it was the population bomb and the coming ice age. I just wish they'd leave AI alone. I like it.
