If the autogenerated art becomes too close to copyrighted art, then you’ll have humans suing AI generators.

George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord is very similar to He’s So Fine by the Chiffons. And that was an easy case. But some cases in requires deeper analysis, such as Lana Del Ray’s Get Free.

In January 2018, singer Lana Del Rey claimed that Radiohead were suing her because of alleged similarities between their 1992 debut single Creep, and her song Get Free, from her 2017 album Lust for Life. The band’s publishers Warner/Chappell subsequently denied taking legal action, but did confirm requesting credit for “all writers” of Creep.

The Guardian spoke to a professional composer to analyse the songs, who noted that the chords used are rare in pop music, and the melodies bear an uncanny resemblance, although in conclusion “imagined the similarities are unintentional”.

If AI is sampling, then how do you defend it being unintentional? While all Radiohead sought was credit on the writing (in this case), would humans (whose livelihood is being threatened) be so generous with an AI composition? And if the music industry is threatened by AI, they will lawyer up.

Fair enough,

The authors may be dead, but they did exist. The work had an author.

If you’re going to use a character some human ever created, hire a lawyer. The House of Mouse has their own lawyers.

The fact that AI can produce this is impressive as to where we have come with AI. But can this actually threaten human artists?

In the United States, a federal judge ruled in 2023 that AI artwork cannot meet federal copyright standards because “Copyright law is ‘limited to the original intellectual conceptions of the author’.” With no author, there is no copyright.

“The answer will depend on the circumstances, particularly how the AI tool operates and how it was used to create the final work,” the office said.

Under current US law, that song is probably now in the public domain. If the law changes, that could mean that in the future, music charts potentially could be filled with AI songs. As it stands, this is most-likely a public domain music machine cranking out music that anyone can use royalty-free. It depends on the interpretation of the courts.

Vivek Ramaswamy, “We need a border wall with Canada.”

The total length of the continental border is 3,145 kilometers (1,954 miles). From the Gulf of Mexico, it follows the course of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) to the border crossing at Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and El Paso, Texas.

The Canada–United States border is the longest international border in the world. The terrestrial boundary is** 8,891 km long**. The land border has two sections: Canada’s border with the contiguous United States to its south, and with the U.S. state of Alaska to its west.

In 2005, there were 75 miles of fencing along the border. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico–United_States_border_wall

also from that article:

In October 2023, Biden announced he is restarting wall construction due to the surge of migrant crossings

In 18 years, the U.S. hasn’t finished building a sufficient wall with Mexico.

He knows he’s got 8 years at best, right? We’ll be fighting Klingons in space long before that wall is finished.

Not all. Not on desktop. You can use it with the IOS app. I asked it

ĉu mi povas uzi la komputilon? (which is Esperanto for “Can I use the computer?”) and without skipping a heartbeat, it replied back in Esperanto,

Jes, vi povas uzi vian komputilon. Kiel mi povas helpi vin? (“Yes, you can use your computer. How can I help you?”)

Some bots I tolerate, others not so much, so I block those. The ones that just mine another site for any new content, I block, as I could just go to that site and read it. The piped.video bot that provides an alternate to youtube (when the piped.video link actaully works) I allow, because Youtube will eventual defeat my work around. So it’s more personal taste.

I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?

I have to brag on Lemmy.world.

This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there’s still a down-vote brigade, but it’s much smaller.

Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it’s becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.

Some of his opinions I can’t agree with.

“Where young people go, older people follow,” Raghavan said.

Yeah, I hate it when grandma sends a bunch of snaps rather than posting to Facebook.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/priceonomics/2017/07/26/what-are-the-most-popular-websites-by-demographic/?sh=7f0ed13356f8 Looking at Forbes’ “Top 25 Websites with the Most Senior Audience”, look at the top sites:

• freedomdaily.com
• usherald.com
• bipartisanreport.com
• truthexaminer.com
• thejigsawpuzzles.com
• westernjournalism.com
• thefederalistpapers.org

You’re telling me young people drove them there?

So 6-10 years ago, someone’s grandkid said, “Hey, granny, I gotta go. Jimmy just found this amaze-balls puzzle at thejigsawpuzzles.com, and I’m gonna finish it before him.” and that’s how granny found out. /s

“Nobody wakes up every morning and says I have to run a Google query,” Raghavan testified.

No, but during the day I search (duckduckgo) for various issues at work, and at home for all sort of personal information (what’s that restaurant’s menu/phone number?, I need a schematic for washing machine, I even search prices to print a poster at Staples vs. Walmart vs. the UPS Store but used search engines to look at various local options too).

While search engines can provide answers, they can be the conduit to get us to the answers we need (such as how much sodium is in this dish?). I can’t imagine being on the Internet and going a full day without using a search engine at least once.

Doesn’t sound made up

A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears.

Sounds made up

Apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds are all members of the rose family (Rosaceae).

Maybe it’s somebody else’s peso?

Look they’ve already cut off free API access. Here’s some other ideas from the Muskrat playbook:

Maybe change the name to P.com

Change the logo to ₱ (surely the Mexicans won’t mind that you’re using the Peso symbol).

Hmm, why not also charge money to get a blue checkmark by your Reddit username to be a verified Redditor? or maybe call them P-ers?

Oh, how about charging new users $1 to use your platform?
