OpenAI's latest image-generation update has taken social media by storm, as users are flooding X, Instagram, and Reddit with Studio Ghibli-style images
I don’t care about copyrights. I care about content.
Every paid artist could disappear. Content will still be created. Probably better content and products then anything created under any copyright and IP as is now.
Absolutely. The Internet pre monetization was way better than anything today. It was funnier. It was more original. It lacked all the dumb attention whores today who only exist to profit like Andrew Tate, Rogan, H3, Jordan Peterson
If we didn’t have copyright then people wouldn’t be able to justify putting effort into creating content because they wouldn’t be guaranteed financial compensation for the time and effort they put in.
Everything costs money, If I’m writing a novel I still have to pay the bills I still have to buy groceries I still have to pay for water and electricity I need to be compensated for my time.

The irony of saying this on Lemmy. Lemmy is piece of software developed and distributed for free to people who host it for free. If somebody truly wants to make something they will create it even without profit incentive.
That’s not really relevant to the discussion. The number of users doesn’t matter. The point is that people will still create things even if there’s no money in doing it.
Jellyfin is another example of something I use every day that is completely developed for free. The is no difference whether 100 people or 100 million people use it. It exists because the people who built it want it to exist.
It is relevant, free development/services is nice and all, but when you’re spending all your time doing it at some point you still need to eat and that requires money so what do you do? You either give up on the free stuff or reduce the amount of time you spend doing it so you can find a job meaning you lose practice and aren’t at good at it.
I’m sorry to tell you but the people who are the best at what they do don’t do it for free, the reason they’re the best is that they can afford to do it full time because they make a living off it.
I’m not standing in your path of success fiscal reality is. If you want your utopia future by all means but you need to actually come up with a solution.
I know what I want. I don’t have to care that you think you should stand in the way of people creating new things. If they’re not copying your work then it’s not a problem. If they buy your book and use it to train an AI that is ethically fine. I don’t support the growth of intellectual property laws.
And I don’t buy for a second that the world is a better place with artists all fighting to be the next best seller or financially stable painter. The world will turn people will create and I’ll argue until I day I die that the best content ever is the stuff nobody is looking to profit from. That’s the stuff that is actually created from a place that’s pure creativity
It must be nice to go through the world and be so sure of something so utterly stupid. Who cares about reality, I have FEELINGS.
Seriously you’ve completely failed to listen to literally anything that I said. Give me an example of a novel that was Self-Published that is better than anything that was commercially available.
By definition anything that’s good enough to make money makes money.
Give me anything published that actually matters in your day to day life. Give me any piece of created work that if it didn’t exist, you just couldn’t function.
What is your judgement of what is better or not. I’m trying you that in my life the stuff I’ve seen the random person create on their own often surpasses the person trying to pursue a career
So the best books are the ones that never get published? The Best music is free on Soundcloud? The best movies are freely available on Peertube?
Your realize that in order to achieve greatness in a field it takes time, if artists can’t live from their art because anyone is free to just make copy of it and to sell it and keep the profit to themselves then instead of making art they’ll have to find another job instead.
You might believe that AI will replace them, but AI doesn’t understand what it’s doing it just regurgitates stuff until the person asking for it finds it good enough. It lacks the will to generate emotions in the viewer or listener.

Well, that’s one take I guess… Not a good one, but one none the less…
Better content?
Lol
Lmao even.

Scale Lemmy to the size of Reddit and we’ll see if good Samaritans are still willing to host it for free.

I have needs and wants as well. I hope you get paid well. But when you stand in the path of something I think to be progress then we conflict.

Yea, I believe those are the best.
Bull fucking shit, you know as well as I do that your point doesn’t make sense.
My point makes sense. What doesn’t make sense
