they are also one of the main driving forces of custom trained generative image models tho.
Did that person draw that specific frame all by themselves? If no then it’s still using others’ copyrighted work + own input.
They also were inspired by other creations. Like Superman’s strength and flight ability.
It shouldn’t be. That’d stealing work from others and I doubt most are paying the original artist
The only true artist is Ooonga Baloonga, who invented art when he drew something roughly resembling an animal on a random cave wall 6 bajillion years ago. Everything since then is derivative bullshit, lifeless imitations of his unique vision.
That’s the argument they’re making against people who think LLMs are inherently theft.
It’s absolutely incredible that people are such bootlickers for billionaire projects that they’ll see this tremendous slam dunk and then go to the comments trying to defend the person who just got dunked. Like, seriously, you really think that’s going to convince people?!
Funny how Luddite paint pigs were perfectly fine when Microsoft’s dalle was the only player in the game and didn’t start screeching about ai until after open source image generation software got released. And yet you conservatives still call people bootlickers.
But isn’t the reply is right?
What’s the relation between using other people art and the user credentials? Should the AI art okay as long as the one published it already has good credentials?
Public education has gone down hill. Reading comprehension is at an all time low
Meme recognition? It’s just reading the fucking text that’s right there, dork.
This isn’t about “good credentials”, the person making the post was actually an animator for Invincible (where the image is from).
So it’s the artist posting a meme with their own art from a series, someone accusing them of stealing the art (saying they are as bad as AI) while the artist was actually part of the team that made the series. What is there not to get?
Invincible (where the image is from).
Are we all expected to just know that?
Not at all, but this is how this sub works. It usually goes:
-
Person A posts something
-
Person B tells them they stole it or have no clue about the topic
-
Someone brings up that Person A is actually the owner of the thing, or a leading expert in the field (see the right side of the the meme in this case)
-
(optional) Person B finds out they are dumb and apologize
You’re expected to infer that it’s from one of the shows listed on the right, both because the creator’s name is listed there and because the community’s name is “Don’t You Know Who I Am?”
I had no idea until you explained it. I’m not familiar with any of that content. So thank you.
The original poster (Jessie Lam) worked on Invincible as an animator, so they did use their own art for that meme, which is a screenshot from Invincible.
Yet the original characters Invincible and Omni-man were created by Robert Kirkman, who did not illustrate the original comicbooks (I think). Man, this thing goes deeeep.
The picture in the meme is a screenshot from the show. It’s not about who created the characters or drew the original comics, it’s about who drew that screenshot.
On the other hand… animators usually sell their work to the studio… so “technically” it is no longer “theirs”, they have no right to use a copy without the studio’s permission… 🤷
They aren’t really talking about the copyright in this context. Also artists can usually still claim the work they did with a studio as their own and show it to others at their discretion, they in fact usually put their work in their portfolio to show to potential future employers, or other animators, or even just an online following. Spencer Wan for example likes to post the line tests/animation tests/keyframes/storyboards/etc for some of his animation sequences on twitter, and has done so for Castlevania, The Owl House, Spider-verse, etc. Animators just can’t sell the same work for profit or provide the completed project in its entirety, at least not without permission. There may be restrictions on how early they can show their work publicly depending on the contract, but that’s usually to prevent major spoilers or leaks, and varies between studios/projects. Also, they still get credited for their work in the project they worked on in the credits, so it’s not like they would be completely divorced from it even if they weren’t allowed to share it separately. It’s still classified as “their” work.
This burn is far too much for the likes of Neosporin. This Atsuhiko needs a hospital.
