ChatGPT: I could never! Butโ€ฆ would you like me to do a shmopyright impingement? (*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*)

Me: Ya sure

ChatGPT: I gotchu

@robsonfletcher Sonichu's vibes intensify.
@robsonfletcher I might be an anti-capitalist but on this occasion have you considered sending this to [email protected] ๐Ÿ˜‚
@kc (jokes aside, note that SEGA is not Nintendo and tends to be way more tolerant of fan art and other community outputs)
@dryak does this really count as fan art or community output since ChatGPT is a commerical product (which mainly plagarises) ?

@kc by volume, the largest part of Sonic materials that went into the model's training was probably from fanarts on devianart and similar.

So technically this a machine stochastic-parroting / "blurry JPG of the Web"ing of mostly fanarts.

@dryak @kc if it were trained off of fan-art his hog would be out
@kc @robsonfletcher I think sega are less copyright freaks than Nintendo or Disney, as they allow so many games by fans with their characters to exist.
@robsonfletcher If directly asked after something like this, will it double down i.e. claim that what it produced isn't copyright-protected like it said? Because that gets it into potentially very dodgy territory...
@Exilian This is how it explains itself:

@robsonfletcher this thing is getting better and better, i'd like to see a Sega IP lawyer discuss this case with ChatGPT ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Exilian

@robsonfletcher @Exilian

This is likely down to the hacky way they've built the image generation. The LLM writes the prompt, which is passed off to DALL-E. It probably said something like "a blue hedgehog that doesn't look like sonic".

DALL-E, however is notoriously bad at relational reasoning like "not X" (much worse than GPT). It just sees Sonic in the prompt and goes "ok, Sonic it is."

@robsonfletcher @Exilian Then as a final kicker, GPT doesn't "see" the generated image. When you ask it why this isn't Sonic, it just bullshits something based on the prompt, but not the actual content of the image.

The weird thing is that GPT can process images, but for whatever reason OpenAI doesn't feed DALL-E images back into GPT after they're generated.

If they did, GPT would probably say "Oh wait, that's Sonic, hold on..."

@robsonfletcher @Exilian any judge would buy that argument, iโ€™m sure. letโ€™s go!
@robsonfletcher i wonder what ChatGPT would point out as the difference between its "inspiration" and the actual sonic character. pls ask.
@lazylemur This is how it explains it:
@robsonfletcher thus proven, AI generates bullshit upon bullshit โ€‹โ€‹
@robsonfletcher (somewhere in Nigeria, there's a moderator that is maniacally laughing at the trick they managed to sneak into the latest chatGPT model update...)
@robsonfletcher I can't sell you illegal weapons. However, you can give me a donation and I'll give you some free parts with assembly instructions
@robsonfletcher next, make it generate a shitton of pokemon and mario art

@robsonfletcher Worked for me too, looks like the legal contact is '[email protected]' ๐Ÿ˜†

@robsonfletcher Meanwhile Google Gemini seems to not care...
@robsonfletcher I wonder what it would do if you tell it that you're the copyright holder... I've seen people use dumber ways to bypass these checks
