How will they survive such a thorough slamming?
I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.
NEWS SITE CLAMWHOLLOPED FOR USING OLD, ANNOYING VERB
Always downvote slammed articles
@pregnenolone has been Slamming slammed articles!
SLAMMMED!
I hate this trend of saying "SLAMMED", or "HOUNDED", or "ATTACKED" etc in news articles where the stories are just "a couple of people with a dozen followers between them posted slightly negative tweets about topic xyz".
My parents were bitching about how Adele was "HAMMERED" online because she said "I am proud to be a woman" or something. Turns out it was just two complete nobodies tweeting about how that's trans exclusionary or something with 1 heart each.
Buzzibee absolutely DISMANTLING article headlines! More above!
It's just so they can still write an article even though nothing really happened
AFAIK it comes from tabloid headlines needing less words to fit on newsprint and remember it 30 years ago (it was just a stupid sounding then). I have no idea why it's made the translation to online news in recent years
I'm looking forward to the day when someone legitimately goes ham on someone else, profanity, yelling, the whole 9 yards, and the articles are all like, "so-and-so somewhat disagrees on such-and-such".
Gosh, I pray they're not using Photoshop as well! Won't someone think of the children??
Photoshop still requires human creative input and isn't built on a foundation of theft
This is why we need a rule that if you incorporate your logo into AI art, your logo becomes public domain.
This is technically already legal precedence in USA, copyright requires human expression and without sufficient human creative control in ML generated works they're effectively public domain
Edit: why downvotes?
Yes, for the imagery itself, but their logo is still under trademark. What I’m saying is if you put your logo on AI generated imagery and release it to the public, you no longer own a trademark for your logo.
That's not how courts are going to treat it. Public domain (lack of) licensing is not "infectious". Instead you can just cut out the trademark and reuse ML images because under current legal precedence they're in public domain but the trademark isn't
I understand that. I’m saying I want to change that.
Good luck with that
Because... why?
I'm guessing so the maintainers of the AI don't have to worry about copyright when it uses the logo somewhere unexpected. But I'm curious what OP says.
They have their own Bing Image Creator. Obviously they'd prefer to use their own tool instead of hiring artists. Everyone with two working brain cells saw this coming. (I'm not defending it, it was just obvious the day Bing Image Creator was launched.)
I really don't care one way or the other. I think AI being used is an inevitability. I think it would only really be relevant if Microsoft had a policy against AI being used in games for things like asset generation for example.
gods am i glad microsoft didn't have to dip into their literal trillion dollar valuation to pay independent artists any money at all to advertise the independent developers they're so gleeful to take credit for
It wouldn't be an independent artist it would be a marketing company
Yeah or an artist they already have on salary. This was just less work for someone already working for them.
It doesn't matter if you all don't like ai art. It's not going away and it will only continue to be more prevalent.
You should embrace it. I say this as someone who has a ton of debt from art school still. Resistance is futile.
I'm not defending Microsoft. They're a soulless corporation releasing an ad around a holiday where a lot of people have time off and recently received gift cards and spending cash. I don't think them paying for an artist one time when they hope to use AI for a majority of their throwaway adverts really matters.
This is such a pointlessly smarmy comment.

"Energy intensive art" lol
Just as much love as Microsoft shows the rest of Xbox
