The fucking audacity to make money off of AI generated content at all is already baffling to me lmao

    Then half of the modern world is baffling to you. Do you feel the same way about coin-operated player pianos? Or kaleidoscope projectors?

    People will seek to make money from anything they can.

    You aren’t even trying. Both of your examples require human interaction and imagination at the time of creation.

    Player pianos aren’t black boxes of plagiarism and kaleidoscopes don’t show amalgams of other people’s works.

    Does anyone have an internet archive link? The guardian website seems to be freaking out on me

    Guardian is really battening the hatches, but firefox reader mode works for me. I'm all for putting their original investigative reporting behind the wall, but when it's basically a retelling of someone's social media post, I'm less understanding and think it's kind of shortsighted.

    How can Spotify/whoever "wrote" these claim royalties and deny them to gizz, who should have a writing credit for the clone's use of the original song, and still acknowledge that AI can hold no copyright
