I heard about C2PA and I don’t believe for a second that it’s not going to be used for surveillance and all that other fun stuff. What’s worse is that they’re apparently trying to make it legally required. It also really annoys me when I see headlines along the lines of “Is AI the end of creativity?!1!” or “AI will help artists, not hurt them!1!!” or something to that effect. So, it got me thinking and I tried to come up with some answers that actually benefit artists and their audience rather that just you know who.
Unfortunately my train of thought keeps barreling out of control to things like, “AI should do the boring stuff, not the fun stuff” and “if people didn’t risk starvation in the first place…” So I thought I’d find out what other people think (search engines have become borderline useless haven’t they).
So what do you think would be the best way to satisfy everyone?
Its hard cause even that analogy falls apart, lots of people believe piracy isnt stealing, because the original still exists in its entirety - and with web scraping legal in the US, by putting that image out there you’re indirectly allowing other artists to take ispiration from it - so what morally draws the line between biological and artificial inspiration? Its a moral delemia I havent yet heard a good solution to personally
