Another idiot who thinks "prompt engineering" is a real skill and not just another step those companies are using idiots for free AI training.

You ask AI to draw a ninja turtle on a skateboard, and that "effort" they put into phrasing their request well enough for the AI to understand makes the AI learn the 10 past attempts were looking for what the 11th got

And now it won't take ten tries to go that route

Any "skill" by the user has a very short expiration date because the next version won't need it thanks to all the time users spent developing those "skills".

But no one impressed with AI is smart enough to realize that. And since they're the on s training the AI....

Idiots in, idiots out

per Wikipedia

On September 21, 2022, Allen submitted an application to the us copyright office for registration of the image. Prior to the first formal refusal, the Copyright Office Examiner requested that the request would exclude any features of the image generated by Midjourney. Allen declined the request and requested copyright for the whole image.

So what I'm getting from that is his Photoshop edits aren't significant enough to constitute a copyrightable work on their own and the copyright office was right to deem it a non-human production.

I like the comment that said the AI is the artist and he's just a commissioner, makes perfect sense.

It's not "famous" that should be in inverted commas, but "artist".

Agreed.

Get fucked, you no talent ass clown.

Not the Onion. This was unexpected...

I said this when it was posted elsewhere- how is he calculating those millions of dollars?

eat shit dude

Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.

He made the art shown below. It's not even good lmao, why the fuck would you declare something like that if you make the shittiest looking AI art. What a fucking clown.

Ha! Not the onion was made for this headline!

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

I'm hoping someone with actual talent paints the AI picture and then copyrights it

"""Artist"""

ChatGPT, show me the world's tiniest violin playing "No One Gives a Fuck" in A minor.

I'm pretty sure there's a misspelling. It's spelled "douchebag" not "artist".

“Famous”?

Never heard of him.

Lol.

This article is annoyingly one-sided. The tool performs an act of synthesis just like an art student looking at a bunch of art might. Sure, like an art student, it could copy someone's style or even an exact image if asked (though those asking may be better served by torrent sites). But that's not how most people use these tools. People create novel things with these tools and should be protected under the law.

The layers to irony in this case is almost too delicious.
