A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well, my main concern is the characterization of this as "piracy." It's not like image generating AIs are reproducing their actual films, right? Sure, it could be used to produce similar artwork to comics or stills or something, but it's not gonna recreate the substance of the media. Yet, that's how they've chosen to classify it, and I worry that it could set a precedent that could be used to sort of sidestep fair use protections.
