I'm amazed that these shady chatbot apps aren't getting sued to death. I see ads all the time for Simpsons, Family Guy, Incredibles characters and I'm like "Disney is going to murder you."
Why are you seeing ads?
On mobile most of the time.
No adblock?
Nah, not worth the trouble most of the time. I use it in my browser, but not at the app level.
Disney bought into a long history of Fox animated properties being lax in infringement enforcement online.
But this is a whole different level. That’s where I agree with you.

Open AI gets so much free PR. Sora is free for now, and instagram getting flooded with copyright infringing crap is not what an expensive video AI creation is going to be paid for. AI videos are very expensive. There are very few people who will pay for it as an alternative for more expensive CGI. Advertising industry can consider full shift for video. They can avoid rights violations and still do it.
Point though, is that copyright controversies are irrelevant to everything important. There is a utility to it, but its not 60gw of power required market.
No!
I don't think these companies give a shit 😥. If it means US companies fall behind the White House is going to aide with these companies and allow it. Or hostilely take over your company like they're doing with Tiktok.
Hate for AI vs hate for big corporations and copyright laws. Which thing that they hate will Lemmy members defend passionately?
AI companies are not on the side of copyright reform or abolition. They just want an exception for themselves. They very much believe in trade secrets. They probably want copyright to eventually cover the current grey areas so that they can stop pretending they give a damn about open models.
It's not unreasonable to demand AI companies to play by the same rules as everyone else.

If we had a fair distribution of wealth I wouldn't care about either of these really.
Most artists care about attribution/fame somewhat but if they could live comfortably they wouldn't care about royalties much or others using their art.
Likewise for AI, automation is an amazing thing for civilization but when it is gatekeeped and used to make the rich richer it's just exploitation of workers everywhere since they have to work as hard as they did one century ago with, arguably, less buying power.

Didn't Japan rule that AI was fine to infringe copyright to train? Why are they complaining now?
Japan didn't think the face eating leopards would eat their face.
