>I'm intrigued about the possibility of using these as stock photos Another (darker) possibility is to generate copyrighted images. Once you have (say) a trillion photos, it will be hard to generate a new one that doesn't look (in essence) like one you already have.

Copyright doesn't work that way: "copyrights can only be infringed if the infringer has access to the copyrighted work and engages in actual copying of the work" https://www.trademarkwise.com/blog/2015/2/4/copyright-infrin... , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substantial_similarity

Here’s the Guardian article which linked the site: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/feb/07/ai-in-the-ad... To my mind there is a massive need for us in the software world to pause and think about the ethics of all of this. Engineers more broadly have well developed ethical codes, we should too.

I have brought this up before, but this already exists. https://www.computer.org/education/code-of-ethics Copyright 1999. I was taught ethics in my college work, so clearly everyone else just ignores it like they do for the various other fields where there is an ethics code. People suck.

There was a pic of an older guy, but what was unsettling was the woman peeking over his shoulder; like a friend or a family member, leaning into the photo. Her eyes were melting into black and white streaks curling down over her sagging cheeks; her smile was perfectly white, and just a little too long.

So are you saying software developers should have to take the equivalent of a Bar exam in order to practice software development in a given state? That way ethical code violations have teeth because you can be debarred. As of now anyone and their dog can practice software development and I'm not sure what a nebulous "ethical code" would imply for them.

Probably something more like a PE. From the NSPE website a PE entails: "To become licensed, engineers must complete a four-year college degree, work under a Professional Engineer for at least four years, pass two intensive competency exams and earn a license from their state's licensure board. Then, to retain their licenses, PEs must continually maintain and improve their skills throughout their careers." Most PEs th…
