"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

LLM "creators" just really make me laugh. They aren't "creators". They're just less competent than usual art directors. Because that's what an LLM "creator" really is: an art director. A person telling someone/something else to make something to a specification.
Is one art director taking the statement "yes, just like that, but with bigger tits" and using it when instructing his own artists plagiarizing in any sense that leaves the word plagiarism with meaning? If yes, well, then, "plagiarism" has joined the term "fascist" or "commie" or any other such political epithet in meaning absolutely nothing. It has become literally as useless a word as "literally". Of no, well, then, prompt "theft" isn't a thing.
Exactly. At best you're commissioning work to a machine. You didn't provide much creativity, at best a direction and some constraints.
In the art world it's been settled ages ago that the underlying concept isn't protected, and few if any prompts go beyond just describing a vague concept.
