Thinking over this "magical" tech.
A distinctive painting style is one of the biggest goals for an artist.
Producing unique stroke and clear expression takes years of hard work and experimentation.
An artist decides to sell prints of an expensive artwork, he or she publishes a photo on their website. AI scrapers get the images in data set update. Game over for the artist.
I hope for a class action over this training data sets.
I get that kids have fun with the new photoshop filters.
I get that software is eating "the world" but someone must wake up an push the kill switch. It is possible.
Sounds like a hopeless protectionist endeavor, reminiscent of cartoonish Keynesian economics busywork: "We can't permit development of adding machines, what about all the hard work people have put into memorizing multiplication tables?!".
No. Sounds like common sense. Not popular in the tech community nowadays.
Data is the new "petrol". Since when the petrol is free of charge? People in mass are clueless. If you use my "human" accomplishments as an energy source, you must pay me. Period.
At around the same time that it actually resembles "the new data", or maybe even shares a single quality with it? Being a physical object, it is bound by physical properties... like scarcity. Data, being an abstract concept, suffers no such constraint. Same story for whatever artistic technique you've imagined to be not only valuable, but novel to all of human experience and wholly owned by you and you alone. Your valuation of your worth and that of your labor is laughably overinflated and the market is telling you so. Period.
