AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.
On the plus side, China also banned all AI content unless it is watermarked last year. So there isn’t going to be a problem with people not being informed about what is and is not AI content. A significantly better position that prevents it from swamping human content because it’s easy to filter out the AI works.
I just repeat what I see whenever it’s relevant! I’m glad to the original comrade that posted this here at some point in time, because I definitely originally saw it here.
I appreciate it anyway though!
All those western educated libs China has running around inside its pipes need to get their asses purged, this shit is embarrassing
Hopefully this is just Chinese liberals exerting what little power they have left and not a bellwether for some liberal resurgence on the mainland
This is a direct consequence of the post-mao reform period.
These liberal ideas are widespread throughout China, not part of some vocal minority. Liberal economics are taught in schools. The ruling class, as you mentioned, is taught in the western tradition. Regardless of the direction of the country or the intention of the CPC, people’s day to day experience with the means of production is capitalistic, and they want to be successful in this domain. The media in China has largely taken a pro-US stance since the 90s and until very recently, most people thought it was a utopia (the majority still do), so people want to emulate that model.
This is not something a purge can fix. It’s a response to the development of the means of production.
The ruling class, as you mentioned, is taught in the western tradition.
What is this even based on? Taking the Politburo as a sample of the ruling class, only 2 of 24 people have had university education in the West. A total of 3 if you count university in HK as “western”, and only 4 if you count the one other guy who got a degree in Russia.
If you’re basing “the Western tradition” on the idea that universities in China are teaching along those lines then we’re gonna need one big-ass “citations needed”.

AI work can be copyrighted. Millions must be purged.

Absent any more philosophical arguments, the material result of this approach will be to give AI companies a lot more money, power and influence, and take away benefits of the technology from citizens both in China and the rest of the world.
Rough translation snippet from the WeChat post linked on Twitter:
- On the determination of intellectual achievement: “From the plaintiff’s conception of the picture in question to the final selection of the picture in question, the entire process, the plaintiff has made a certain amount of intellectual input, such as designing the presentation of the characters, choosing the prompt’s wording, arranging the order of the prompt’s words, setting up the relevant parameters, and selecting which picture is in line with the user’s expectations, etc.”. The picture in question reflects the plaintiff’s intellectual input, so the picture in question has the element of “intellectual achievement”."
This is indeed a very rare China L.
TIL if I make a program that just takes the Mona Lisa from a file and gives me back the Mona Lisa in another file with a bit of random noise attached that’s now my IP as long as there was a text prompt where you have to write “Adult woman, oil painting, Renaissance, smile, landscape background, art, sunny.”
Yeah it’s a bullshit ruling that is probably going to be reversed at some point in the future once public opinion demands it after enough artists have been fkd over. I swear a lot of courts right now are making decisions based on what-ifs rather than what these technologies actually do.
I’m going with this, part of me thinks this just one of those rulings that will be touted as a “contrast” to the USA. Could be wrong though.
Assuming judges even comprehend what the technologies do (not that I do, either, but I don’t have a gavel). TBF this is China so maybe things are different. But in the west, we’ve had judges making political economic decisions without any grasp of the fundamentals of political economy for decades/centuries, so…
AI Art is Copyrightable but only if your prompt is at least 1000 characters long.
