    So do you want to shutdown Google because I can type “spongebob squarepants” into Google images and Google with give me an image of spongebob?

    Please put some thought into the implications of what you’re saying outside of AI before you make a knee-jerk reaction like that.

      Those images in the search results are one of three categories:

      1. Officially licensed and distributed works that Spongebob IP owners signed off on

      2. Fair use works, namely noncommercial and parody

      3. Illegal works the posters of which can be sued

      Google themselves didn’t create those images. Google didn’t intentionally profit off of illegal works without giving credit. Google didn’t post those images themselves. AI did all of those things.

        It doesn’t matter if Google creates the images.

        It doesn’t matter if they “intend” to profit from illegal works.

        It doesn’t matter if they “give credit” (this is the one that’s the dumbest because it just reeks of ignorance, like thinking you can use whatever works you like as long as you put a credit to them in the description)

        Google showing you copywritten images when you search for them is not different than when an AI does it.

          It does actually matter if Google creates the images and then sells them directly. That is what this discussion is about. If you don’t want to be a part of the discussion, fuck off then.

            Imagine getting this riled up over a stranger on lemmy thinking something different to you.

            Maybe put the phone down, take a deep breath and go for a walk outside for a moment.

              I see you’ve abandoned your argument to express your mental image of somebody you’ve never seen or heard before. I accept your resignation, then, happy to help you see the light.
