wife has now to prove in court to a commercial infringer that her work is not ai generated. what a time to be alive.
@lritter jesus fucking christ
@lritter fucking hell. wtfff.
@mmby and a german court no less.
@lritter draw them a middle finger onsite
@lritter (another great paragraph of Germany respecting their artists)

@lritter oh, we've moved to Aicussations as a *legal maneuver* now, that's uh, impressive

and the court is just with this? like the infringer just goes "it's OBVIOUSLY ai" and that's... enough?

@halcy i can't comment in public on what i think about the judge.

@lritter seufz

viel erfolg und/oder glück

@lritter Alter...! Viel Erfolg!
@lritter Wait, what?! This is ridiculous - why?
@ratqueen accused says they don't need to pay because it's ai. so now she has to demonstrate that it is not.
@lritter So weird ... I mean, they've seen her work before, right? Sucks. Always thought her work looks quite genuine and different from what is out there....

@ratqueen she's not happy that she has to reveal work secrets in front of a court that might make their way to the internet and be used as fake proof by opponents in future disputes (there's the other category of infringers who brazenly claim they painted the image).

imo it should suffice that she swears an oath on it + shows her long history of previous works, and then it is up to the accused to demonstrate how an AI could have produced this work but legal procedures are not rational.

@lritter Can't she just show her work from before 2022/2023? before we got generators?
@ratqueen the work is from before that time even. but what does that say for any works made after this time? what does it even mean then that "german works of art are copyrighted by default" in this kind of world
@lritter It sucks when you achieved to have a popular, very likeable high contrast style - that gets also emulated by AI quite often. But that's not her fault.
Reading a lot threads about "exposing" artists on Bsky that allegedly used AI...but actually didn't. It's a mess.
@lritter It's so much easier to make money off of artists than it is for artists to make money off their work.
@lritter Just doing a large painting using the infringers blood is t going to work?
@acetylcholin they should rather reimburse her. that would help us more.
