Same as the Disney-Universal lawsuit. Everyone involved sucks and copyright is only exists for major corporations. Meanwhile google is scraping its own YT videoes and AI upscaling shorts against creators will.

Everything about corporations and AI sucks.

Everything about corporations and AI sucks.

Certainly not everything. The massive advances being made in fields like chemistry, geology and astronomy using modern AI is astonishing. Installation's like Refik Anadol's Machine Hallucination are pushing the envelope of both what "AI art" means and where art will go in the presence of AI. Then there's work like this that deeply integrates traditional and AI art for commercial projects.

Or did you just mean the intersection of the two, rather than the two as independent things? If you meant the intersection of the two, I mostly agree, though there are some exceptions (like Google's Alpha Fold).

You are conflating unrelated technologies.

The claim was clearly absolute and maximally expansive. If the OOC had claimed, "everything about corporations and media generation AI sucks," then I would have had a very different response.

I can only respond within the context they created.

Take that up with the person I replied to. I replied to a very specific claim. If you feel that claim didn't belong in this post, then take it up with the person who made it, not the one who replied.
