The header image for Cheetah vs Robodog was quite the tease. 

I went into that expecting a steak dinner and instead getting served a microwaved vending machine burger. 

This is an oldie but relevant to the topic and has more payoff...

Even the lions know something isn't natural about that dog and are cautious about approaching it.

But the monkey vs. robot video is genius.  I like how at one point, the monkey and robot were friends riding on mechanical 25 cents a ride horsies.

Federal judge rules that AI generated content can not be copyrighted.

The lawyers knew this was coming.

But the Hollywood moguls who were hoping to have unpaid legions of AI bots churn out scripts and animation can't be happy. 

Ultimately the lure of "free" digital AI writers being able to generate copyrighted cash-cows non-stop will go to the Supreme Court at some point....and/or some high powered tech / entertainment lobbyists will have the law changed (a likely result).

In the meantime, what about the actual human artist who uses AI to help automate some tasks? For example, using AI to do the background of an image while the artist does the main objects? Does that mean the image can't be copyrighted under current law?

Some interesting thoughts on the subject from one of my favorite 'internet lawyers.' His video is six months old (already ancient I know....), but still relevant.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

A sci-fi writer in Japan wins a prize for her work, and admits it was partially penned by AI.

The Japanese have always been good with robots...so nobody seems to care.

Japan again...

Advertising agency under fire from artists union on use of AI generated female model for TV commercial. The video has a clip of the commercial, and I have to say it looks convincing.
