Maybe OpenAI doesn't get it, but Midjourney has no problems showing me Mickey Mouse

And if we've learned anything about AI in the last 6 months we've learned:

1) AI is probably trained on data obtained without the creators permission

2) AI responses are very hard to control, and easily jailbroken

It has, however, a problem with showing you President Xi [1].

Everyone's gangsta until the CCP funding is exposed!

As an AI language model, I am unable to confirm or deny the receipt of funds from the CCP.

Funnily enough midjourney's CEO is the only owner and has no VC's money behind.

He might just want to be able to visit china in the future

What about Winnie the pooh?

And there are also already copyright holders filing lawsuits against AI image generators for exactly that: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/6/23587393/ai-art-copyright-...

Good luck suing the coming open source decentralized models. There will be pages and pages of models on torrent trackers in the very near future.

Since AI can’t hold copyright, it can’t make money, thus what, exactly, are the damages?

You're talking as if weak AI is sentient and performing the act itself. The damages are from actual people and/or companies involved in the act of distributing derivative works from copyrighted material using forward diffusion, gradient descent, and other techniques.

Saas can't make money?
