Remember kids: AI is just very lossy image compression

Intellectual property shouldn’t exist in the first place, so I don’t really care if it’s “stolen”

If someone invents something that can better people’s lives, everyone should be able to access it

In the ideal world yes. IP is a fuck but under a capitalist system I still think artists should be able to sell their work and not have it used by machine learning programs to undercut them without their consent. For industry stuff? I don’t really care but I think individual independent artists having some IP control under this absurd system is slightly better than just fucking them all over entirely.

Edit: the copyrighting words, concepts, and techniques shit has to stop though

Oh I think I misunderstood the person I was replying to, I thought they were referring to Chinese IP theft in terms of industry stuff. I agree that art is a different story.

Love that you are so focused on defending China you randomely bring up good points against simping for China. (Simping for any country or company is cringe anyway.)

China is using AI to improve life for working people, but at what cost?

Jokes aside this was interesting to read over

An article published by the Center for a New American Security concluded that “Chinese government officials demonstrated remarkably keen understanding of the issues surrounding AI and international security. This includes knowledge of the U.S. AI policy discussions,”

😂

This is actually not true. The use of AI media in the Chinese entertainment industry is just as pervasive and probably more so than the US, and Chinese universities and private firms are developing their own AI image/video generators at an equivalent pace to the Western firms. For example you have Chinese-developed SOTA DiT txt2img models like Pixart, Hunyuan and Lumina, and even SOTA video models like Kling. Tencent, Alibaba and Bytedance are putting out various models, optimizations and distillations in this space as well. Even back in April of last year, there were articles indicating a 70% decline in illustration jobs in sectors like video game development.

China banned all AI generated content without watermarks. That law went into effect January 2023.

The 70% decline in videogame illustrator jobs number in that article is not cited, I would be interested in what time period the claim draws its data from.
