@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital I don't know man, I feel like this is where you're bringing too much emotion for me to relate. I have nothing against them, but you're spitting vitriol like they roundhouse kicked your grandma ;-; They've been hypocritical, I get it, but dude I'm at like a 4 and you're at an 11.
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital Sure, if they're found to be culpable, let them do their time. I don't think you would need to just 'make a new one' though, the same tech could totally be used. Just scrape from a sample of consenting artists who may volunteer their art to be contributed, for compensation.
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital the frustration at the company behind the software. You're quite right, it's extremely shady. I don't think Corridor deserved nearly as much hate as they got for trying to use it as it is.
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital I can definitely see how the creation of stable diffusion could be unethical, yeah. I do hope that one day they can continue to work on the technology, perhaps getting consent from the artists of future batches of models. That being said, I think it's more productive to aim 1/2
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital bothering you about this. I still don't really know if I think this could be considered stealing... the fact that no images are actually stored anywhere, the model has just collated the mathematical qualities of these some 5bl images. I'm super curious to see how it turns out.
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital Hm, you know what? I did actually go and look up the Getty images/Midjourney lawsuit. I see what you meant now, about the ethics of stable diffusion itself. The model was used by scraping images from across the internet, and that's what Corridor used. I sort of see what is 1/2
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital And I agree with you that some uses of AI do deserve to be criminalized, as I've said. Not all, though, and AI art generation is largely still legal - and should be. Corridor's use, in my opinion, was ethical. o/
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital In critique, parody, news covering and documentary, you can absolutely use other's stuff to make a product. I could see a future where this concept is taken into consideration when litigating certain uses of AI, for sure.
@bligboi@Malachi108@DrLilo1@RubberNinja@CorridorDigital What have you proven? What have we proven at all here? You have proven that you believe Corridor's use of stable diffusion is unethical. I have proven that I believe that it was ethical. We have not changed each other's minds on this, so what have we achieved? xD
