How do the actions of the prompter differ from the actions of someone who commissions an artist to create a work of art?

Because it wasn’t created by a human being.

If I ask an artist to create a work, the artist owns authorship of that work, no matter how long I spent discussing the particulars of the work with them. Hours? Days? Months? Doesn’t matter. They may choose to share or reassign some or all of the rights that go with that, but initial authorship resides with them. Why should that change if that discussion is happening not with an artist, but with an AI?

The only change is that, not being a human being, an AI cannot hold copyright. Which means a work created by an AI is not copyrightable. The prompter owns the prompt, not the final result.

So what you’re saying is that the AI is the artist, not the prompter. The AI is performing the labor of creating the work, at the request of the prompter, like the hypothetical art student you mentioned did, and the prompter is not the creator any more than I would be if I kindly asked an art student to paint me a picture.

In which case, the AI is the thing that gets the authorial credit, not the prompter. And since AI is not a person, anything it authors cannot be subjected to copyright, just like when that monkey took a selfie.

Dude is a manipulative creep. He spent years stalking her, love-and-money-bombed her and her family to get her affection, then used drugs to control her until they killed her.

If you think anything he did is remotely normal, I feel sorry for the women in your life.

Fuck this guy.

If simply being convicted of a crime makes you a person not worthy of serious consideration in the political sphere, is that implicit endorsement of the legal system? Seems pretty conservative if you ask me.

Tell that to the “party of law and order” over there.

I have definitely done 8 hours in a US ER waiting room before. If you haven’t, count yourself lucky.

You had to go to Canada for that? I had that same experience right here in the states.

Well, almost. It cost me $1500, and that was after my insurance paid down the majority of the bill.

No, indefinitely implies you don’t know when you’ll be able to go back. It does not mean you’re never going back.

But she’s a woman! And not white! That makes her dangerous!

I’ll admit to mispronouncing her name on occasion myself, but mostly because I associate it with two other figures who did/do pronounce it Ka-MAH-luh. I have to make an effort to get it right for her. But I am making that effort. And I have little doubt that these assholes are not.

I’m kind of afraid that I’ll mispronounce it in mixed company and make someone who doesn’t know me well think I’m one of those weird Republicans or something.

By the same token, Biden was tied for dead last in the 2008 primary. Things change.

But I was talking about Israel and Palestine/Gaza.

Who did you think I was talking about when I said Trump was Bibi’s bestie?

For future reference, Bibi is Benjamin Netanyahu. And if you don’t know that, you should probably educate yourself a bit more before talking about Israel and Palestine/Gaza.

Trump is Bibi’s bestie. There is absolutely no way on Earth he would do a damn thing to end the genocide. In fact, he’ll happily cheerlead it, without even the token hand-wringing we get from Biden.

Hell, I would say Biden was the better candidate from a pro-Ceasefire stance, since, at the very least, he is vulnerable to pressure from the left to push for a ceasefire. Trump is not.

He really earned that $44.9 billion, didn’t he?

They can, but as we can see from Thomas and Alito, they don’t.

13 makes the most sense. There are 13 circuits, why not 13 Supreme Court justices?

If that didn’t cross the line, one wonders what would.

And yet you show an inordinate amount of faith in it to save us from fascism.
