But how is that any different from creating an image from scratch? If I make a logo and use it for my business, but it turns out to be very similar to one already being used by another company, itβs the same situation.
I think the main concern here is with the top 1,000 or so brands/copyrights which seem fairly straightforward to deal with using the method I described.
It's not the same situation. You can't possibly expect someone to be exposed to the entirety of the internet like ChatGPT is. It is a matter of scale. If you still think they are the same thing, the industrial revolution was about scale and had transformative impacts in the society.
It's the user's responsibility to ensure they aren't infringing on copyright. If you are producing creatives for pay, you absolutely shouldn't be right-click saving images and using directly off the web whether you got it from DALL-E or a Google search.
Who cares about plagarism? Plagarism is a made up boogeyman created by high school English teachers.
If the work is sufficiently composed of your own thoughts, the fact you used someone else's structure for part of it is not a problem as long as it isn't your entire work or entirely derivative of one work.
If I use a Coca-Cola bottle cap as structure in a sculpture, that doesn't mean I am infringing on Coca-Cola's copyright. I still had to mold my original work to work with it.
I linked a 4h video on that which goes into painstaking details, which you skipped. It is in the context of content creators but can be extrapolated to various areas.
And about intelligence, what do you mean by intelligence? ChatGPT is certainly not thinking like a human, if that is what you mean, but it can reason really well when given directions. That taxes demo when gpt4 launched is certainly a demonstration of emergent cognition in the predictive system. So depending on how you see intelligence, ChatGPT certainly shows a lot of it, if we only let go of human constraints of cognition.
