Yeah, so far. It's super early in the modern incarnation of AI that actually has the chance to pay off, LLMs.
This isn't like Bitcoin where there's huge hype for a pretty small market opportunity. We all realize the promise, we are just still figuring out how to get rid of hallucinations and making it consistent and tuned to a certain business usage.
Well, and also navigating the minefields that the LLMs absolutely have copyrighted material in them that wasn't paid for or licensed. E.G. Dall-E can produce a full image of Fresh Cut Grass, a character owned by Critical Role.
And that the stuff they produce isn't copyright-able.
And that the stuff they produce isn't copyright-able.
Even if that were true, is there no value in public domain art resources?
Not to the companies looking to use AI.
Exhibit A, Disney, a giant megacorp whose most famous works are literally founded on public domain material.
Bear in mind that public domain is not like a copyleft license, it's not "viral." If I make a movie and the Mona Lisa shows up in it, that movie is still copyright to me even though there's a public domain element in it. It's even easier with unique AI-generated stuff because you can't even tell what's public domain and what isn't.
People are literally paying monthly subscriptions for access to a bunch of these things.
Did you read the article? The problem hasn't been getting some people to pay for some things, it's that the things that are available so far are losing loads of money. Or at least, that's the premise.
Great, now factor in the cost of data collection if not subsidizing usage that you are effectively getting free RLHF from...
The one thing that's been pretty much a guarantee over the last 6 months is that if there's a mainstream article with 'AI' in the title, there's going to be idiocy abound in the text of it.
