But just as Glaze’s userbase is spiking, a bigger priority for the Glaze Project has emerged: protecting users from attacks disabling Glaze’s protections—including attack methods exposed in June by online security researchers in Zurich, Switzerland. In a paper published on Arxiv.org without peer review, the Zurich researchers, including Google DeepMind research scientist Nicholas Carlini, claimed that Glaze’s protections could be “easily bypassed, leaving artists vulnerable to style mimicry.”
No, Just the concept of getting a say in who can train AIs on your creations.
So yes, that would leave room for a loophole where a human could recreate your creation (without just making a copy), and they could then train their model on that. It isn’t water tight. But it doesn’t need to be, just better than what we have now.
That’s the same thing. Whatever you want to call it, “copyright” or some other word, the end result is that you’re wanting to give people the right to control other people’s ability to analyze the things that they see on public display. And control what general concepts other people put into future works.
I really don’t see how going in that direction is going to lead to a better situation than we have now. Frankly it looks more like a path to a nightmarish corporate-controlled dystopia to me.
For the second time, that’s not what I want to do - I pretty much said so explicitly with my example.
Human studying a piece of content - fine.
Training a Machine Learning model on that content without the creator’s permission - not fine.
But if you honestly think that a human learning something, and a ML model learning something are exactly the same, and should be treated as such, this conversation is pointless.
Again, it’s fundamentally the same thing. You’re just using different tools to perform the same action.
I remember back in the day when software patents were the big boogeyman of the Internet that everyone hated, and the phrase “…with a computer” was treated with great derision. People were taking out huge numbers of patents that were basically the same as things people had been doing since time immemorial but by adding the magical “…with a computer” suffix on it they were treating it like some completely new innovation.
Suddenly we’re on the other side of that?
Anyway, even if you do throw that distinction in you still end up outlawing huge swathes of things that we’ve depended on for years. Search engines as the most obvious example.
And that’s the third time you’ve tried to put words into my mouth, rather than arguing my points directly.
Have fun battling your straw men, I’m out.
Not OP, but I also don’t think it’s the same thing. But even if it were, the consequences are nowhere near the same.
A person might be able to learn to replicate an artist’s style, given enough practice and patience, but it would take them a long time, and the most “damage” they could do with that, is create new content at roughly the same rate as the original creator.
It would take an AI infinitely less time to acquire that same skill, and infinitely less time to then create that content. So given those factors, I think there’s an enormous difference between 1 person learning to copy your skill, or a company that does it as a business model.
Btw, if you didn’t know it yet - search engines don’t need to create a large language model in order to find web content. They’ve been working fine (one night even say Better) without doing that.
