Then who created this image in your view?
That's irrelevant, the issue is whether the machine is committing a crime, or the person
Machines aren't culpable in law.
There is more than one human involved in creating and operating the machine.
The debate is, which humans are culpable?
The programmers, trainers, or prompters?
The prompters. That is easy enough. If I cut butter with a knife it's okay, if I cut a person with a knife - much less so. Knife makers can't be held responsible for that, it's just nonsense.
If you try to bread with an autonomous knife and the knife kills you by stabbing you in the head. Is it solely your fault?
That depends on whether the autonomous knife is designed dangerously and it's a common occurrence, or whether I was being a moron and essentially rigged it to stab me, akin to asking for copyright material from an AI and getting it (scene from a movie, characters part of intellectual property etc)
So you're saying if it's easy to accidentally get copyright images out of this AI by prompting ordinary worlds. Then the AI designers have some questions to answer.
Accidentally? No. By typing in a highly specific prompt that specifies the exact IP? Yes.
"The Joker" is a generic description of a character. Going back to medieval courts.
If the result is a copyrighted version of that character that's not the promoters fault.
That's the fault of the ones who compile the training data.
If someone copies a picture from a cartoon who created it?
What point do you think youre making? The answer to this question supports their point.
I wasn't arguing with them lol just wondered their opinion.
It does feel weird to me that if someone draws a copy of something people don't think they've created anything. That somehow the original artist created it.
The person who created the cartoon in the first place.
Try painting a Disney character on the wall of a waiting room.for children.

So the copyer didn't create anything? Odd way to look at it to me.
The copier didn't create any Intellectual property. They copied it.
Copy right. The right to copy.
It's fairly fundamental.
