I just tested it with Azure AI image classification and it worked - so this cat is yet to adapt to the mouse’s latest idea.
I still feel it is absolutely wrong to roam around the internet and scrape images (without consent) in order to power one’s cash cow AI. I hope more methods to protect artworks (including audio and other formats) become more accessible.
Artists copy from each other all the time. Arguably, culture exists because of copying (folk stories by necessity); copyright makes culture top-down and stagnant, and you can't avoid it because they have the money to shove it right in your face. Who wants trickle-down culture?
it's not an artist, it's a piece of software
in the same way bittorrent or gzip is
Sure. The person using it has intent. Now we have come to a point in which intent alone is art. Let there be light.
