I am aware of this problem and was eager to see what people think about this approach and of the paper "Extracting Training Data from Diff. Models". Currently working with an open source lawyer who describes the copyright issues of AI-generated images in an article. The abstract ways in which images from the training database are represented within the models' latent space does not allow a copyright attribution at present, afaik. Our focus is the output, though.

Journalists, You’re Walking Away From A Gold Mine - The Canadian Online

UPDATED FEB 9, 2023: Added some great corroborating numbers from Martin Holland @[email protected] Let's time travel back to December, a time when Elon decided he didn't care for journalists anymore and laid down the ban hammer on a wide swath of the press corp. There were headlines (ironically) about the death of free speech on

With all of the GPT talk about "the death of writing", can anyone agree with me that we should not care?

Strap in folks --- we have a blog post from @sundarpichai at @google about their response to #ChatGPT to unpack!

New AI Chatbots? Google's "Bard" is announced. Quora released "Poe" today. Anthropic made "Claude". "Sparrow" by #DeepMind is winging its way, I'm sure Meta will join the choir.

Some alternatives in Europe: "Lumi" by Jonas Andrulis' #AlephAlpha (multimodal: any combination of text + images as input), YouChat by Richard Socher - a German expat in the Valley. Andrulis & team however are here: Aleph is based, hosted, created in Germany (AI R&D). #ResponsibleAI #XAI #TAI

"We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it." Excellent piece by @danmcquillan
https://www.danmcquillan.org/chatgpt.html

I suggest you read the whole thing, but some pull quotes:

"ChatGPT is a part of a reality distortion field that obscures the underlying extractivism and diverts us into asking the wrong questions and worrying about the wrong things."

>>

We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it.

@matthewmaybe Hey Matthew, I have summarized the article in 25 tweets (in German) but I mean to translate them, at least for Mastodon. Haven't figured out yet how to create a "thread" over here... Any idea?

Hang on, I'll get this done after work :)
