Generative AI is Not Theft

I created this video after being spammed by artist groups claiming that Generative AI uses copied samples to create work.

It’s you that’s spreading misinformation. Is it possible to train an ai not to infringe copyright? Maybe. But it clearly happens today, with available models.

Infringement example
- With something like GPT sure it happens, but humans also do this when writing all the time.
  
  “Humans do it too”, and “yeah but it’s not intentional” are not counters to the claim that ai can infringe copyright.
  
  Sure they are! Should I not make and sell art as a human because I would risk this?
  
  To add to that, I consider this to be unintentional plagiarism. As someone who is about to finish a Masters degree it is no mystery that two humans can come up with the same thing. This can constitute copyright infringement, but it is far from theft.
