Generative AI art was used to create illustrations for its upcoming expansion, and it sounds like the developer is all-in on using it for its future output.
“Slippery slope” is also a fallacy. Training an AI and copying a game are two different things and it’s entirely reasonable to hold the position that one is ok and the other is not.
I’m not missing the point. Just because they’re both “using data without consent” doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. Playing baseball and smashing someone’s car both involve swinging a bat but that’s where the similarity ends.
There are many ways that you can “use data without consent” that are perfectly legal.
Of course not. But “ethical” is a matter of subjective debate. You say X is unethical, I say X is ethical, and ultimately there’s no way to tell who’s “right.”
Law’s different, the whole point of it is to have a system that sorts these things out.
And the law will eventually change (I think) to mitigate some of these shortcomings that AI training has highlighted.
So it’s not currently illegal to train AIs like this? That’s been my point this whole time. It’s a different thing from the things that are currently illegal (such as “theft”).
Unethical according to your personal opinion. My opinion on the ethics of the matter differ, and that’s just as valid as yours. You don’t get to declare “that’s unethical” and then expect everyone to just fall in line with your belief. Way back at the root of this you said:
But it’s clear a lot of people don’t understand why using data without consent is a bad thing in this context,
Which, as I argued back then, suggests that you think that the notion that “using data without consent” is a bad thing that people who disagree with you just don’t understand. No, they understand perfectly well. They just disagree with you.
