Charging you up the nose to sample my work IS adapting
Do it, if you can. The supply of easily accessible sample imagery vastly exceeds demand, and AI-generation only makes that problem worse. (Just don't post on Deviant Art, or any other hosting platform that can be bought.) Your task is essentially Sisyphean, but godspeed.
if not creating an adjacent industry for suing people with an equal and opposite AI that detects used artwork.
Do it. Seriously. That might be the only answer to the threat you're facing if you're making whole-ass art in an AI-image-as-basis market. Expect all people profiting from AI art to leverage their income flows to stop you.
That or turn to streaming, and build a community of people paying more for your performance as artist, rather than the image-as-product.
Either way the threat to artists remains existential, and I stand by 'adapt or die.'
If you are an artist, you have my sympathy-- a reckoning is at hand, and this brave new world will be the poorer for it.
Germans being German and squashing consent.
Kudos for using a genie as an example, because this genie is most definitely out of the bottle.
AI producing similar, but legally distinct, works finesses copywrite law as written. You don't get to yell 'theft' when the digitally produced work is distinct from what it's based on.
AI is absolutely standing on the shoulders of giants-- who are all human artists, but much like there are now chess programs that are stronger at the game than any human, AI art can't be stopped. Art is forever altered by this development, and crying 'theft' doesn't make that any less so.
Adapt or die.
'Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?'
More seriously, I find both the desire to blame the vaxx without proper investigation, and the way the authorities refuse to even investigate at all very frustrating.
In 'current year' there is no past to obscure the party's ever present now.
She's the first because she needs to score points for the revolution, not because there weren't female leads before her.
Get with the program, bigots!
It isn't hypocrisy. If it's good for the revolution, it's clearly true. If not, it's clearly false, bad, wrong, or misinformation. That's their lense.
What the 'revolution' is varies leftist to leftist, but that's their measure.
The collapse of Rome and before that, Babylon, were not supported by industrial technology. Even with the might of scientific engineering supporting the grift, we are reaching the point where something's got to give. It manifests as palpable unease.
There's a saying in economics: "The market can remain irrational longer than you remain solvent." The current situation, with grifters feeding on the surplus created by industry, can only be maintained so long.
You're right: we can't say when, but things must change.
I think it's limited to orientation.
Effort is required for performance and growth; IQ only bounds maximum potential.
You can be a high IQ burnout who doesn't exert effort anymore and fail to realize your potential, causing your IQ to decline relative to others your age, but you can't 'effort' past your limits in the inverse way. Not even the US army bothers training sub 80 IQ 'people.'
tl;dr: You can't polish a turd.
A whole new world...
You don't want to be shown, but there it is.
