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 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
