Comment by A.R. Stone (a-r-stone) on What DALL-E 2 can and cannot do · 2022-05-13T16:14:04.143Z · LW · GW

I'm having real trouble finding out about Dall E and copyright infringement.  There are several comments about how Dall E can "copy a style" without it being a violation to the artist, but seriously, I'm appalled.  I'm even having trouble looking at some of the images without feeling "the death of artists."  It satisfies the envy of anyone who every wanted to do art without making the effort, but on whose backs?  Back in the day, we thought that open source would be good advertising, but there is NO reference to any sources.  I'm already finding it nearly impossible to find who authored any work on the web, and this kind of program, for all its genius makes that fully impossible.  Yes, it's a great tool, but where is the responsibility?  Where is the bread crumb trail back to the talented human?  This is a full example of evil AI, because the human who was the originator of the art is never acknowledged, so everyone on the user side thinks that these images were just "created" by a computer out of thin air.  I AM NOT THIN AIR!!!  And I know, for a fact, that my work will show up in this program, without anyone ever knowing it was the work of 10,000 hours.  Is that not evil?  I know, no one ever got to sign the cathedral wall, either.  Slaves to the machine.
