This will supercharge artists, it won’t replace them because details matter and when you need to get it just right, you cannot just keep rolling the dice by “prompting better”

#22Anyone able to comment on where in their opinion the measure is for current state of copyright law when generative AI is a subset of an image?

#23What I love about this AI generative art is it will finally put the right price on computer generated art: $0.
It will be interesting to watch the entire Hollywood and associated creative industries lose control to AI. Entire movies will be created in small basements. Same with AAA video games.

#24One thing that disturbs me is the push to censor the AI output.
Photoshop is used to produce a ton of porn, but Adobe doesn’t try to stop that.
In terms of “safety”, models Photoshopped to impossible standards have helped create impossible beauty standards causing depression and even life threatening eating disorders in teenage girls.
Yet, Adobe and all the others will carefully censor the output of these generative models.

#25I found the little sketch-to-vector-variations part interesting and surprising- this is something that is solidly not done via a diffusion model unlike everything else shown. Although I note it says "We plan to build this into Firefly" implying that... this isn't something already finished.

#26The high compute costs for training and legacy software foothold seems that it may encourage rent seeking in the big tech companies. I hope the huge costs and compute demands won't only enrich the big tech companies that can afford to run the models on heavy duty hardware. If it does,
it will potentially lead to the rich companies, individuals, and persons greatly outpacing their peers.

#27I wonder about how companies are approaching letting their customers understand what is and isn't copyrightable with the results of these ai models.
The us copyright office has made it clear that elements of designs that lack human authorship cannot be copyrighted. A prompt is not enough - the same way if you provided a prompt to an artist while commissioning a work does not grant you copyright to that work. The results (including specific elements) of these ai models cannot be copyrighted which has extreme implications to commerical art in general. If you have your ai models come up with a character you cannot claim copyright of that character. If your ai models comes up with a composition you cannot claim copyright on that composition.
If you use the ai to generate an idea and then have a human develop the idea, the elements of the design that the ai came up with cannot be copyrighted because they lack human authorship.
Commercial operations that care about ip beware.
Re: Adobe Firefly: AI Art Generator
#28Interesting that the large company AI products (this, Microsoft copilot, etc) are so much more compelling than any of the startups I’ve seen. Makes me think that we haven’t seen what true innovation looks like in this space. Right now, AI is a feature, not a product. Edit: Not talking about the models themselves (stability, mid journey, GPT-x), talking about what is built on those models.
In Adobe's case, it absolutely makes sense it would be a feature of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere. They've been adding various "smart" masking features and the like over time already.

#29Imagine paying for Adobe products.
I did that once. Never again. What a shit company. Cancelling the subscription was a total drag. Fuck you Adobe, I hope you go bankrupt sooner rather than later.

It's currently unknown, but copyright law is really political in nature and companies are hopping on using AI like crazy and delivering real value so my expectation is that it will be granted fair use for no philosophical reason but because US legislators don't want to put their boot-heel on American business.
Because if they stifle this is will basically cement China is the world's AI powerhouse who will give zero shits about copyright.
This is gonna be interesting times for copyright because this is the first time copyrighted works are actually useful in building tools. I think it's a very neat real-world example of how universities are actually right to make engineers take humanities courses because your code writing AI is actually better for having read Vonnegut.
