Magic beats magic.
Today’s AI painting is no longer mysterious, and it can even be said that it has become a toy that people can see at hand. However, compared with the popularity of AI painting, the voice of resisting this technology is often ignored by people.
The problem is still centered on the dispute over copyright. Browsing any official website of a well-known AI painting, you can find the contact email address for resisting infringing materials in the relevant terms of use, but the more important statement is that the AI company will automatically own the ownership of the generated pictures, and users only need to pay For a sum of money, the generated pictures can also be used commercially.
Due to the lack of substantive laws governing this kind of creation, whether it is reproducing finished pictures when AI is creating, or AI directly using unauthorized works as its own training library, even if these behaviors are discovered, they can only be punished at best. When it comes to moral condemnation, the painters whose works have been stolen are often unable to speak out.
Faced with such a situation, Eric, the protagonist of “Dead by Daylight”, chose to fight poison with fire. Eric defied the rules of the Midjourney company to his heart’s content by generating drawings of some well-known characters.
Initially, he spawned a few slightly realistic Mickey and Donald Ducks, and even a dark Goofy.
Immediately afterwards, he targeted more well-known characters, as well as the “man of the hour” on Twitter-Musk.
But this is obviously not enough for Eric. He encourages people to use these pictures to make peripheral sales, such as making T-shirt templates.
“Totally Original”
He even said in a joking tone that Disney has no right of recourse at all, because according to the law, these AI creations have already surpassed the general copyright restrictions, and according to Midjourney’s rules, since he paid the money, it is entirely up to him how he wants to use it. If you want to say who benefits from it, it is only Midjourney.
This controversial word game has indeed attracted the attention of many people. Of course, people knew Eric’s intentions, some people suspected that he was secretly changing the concept and deliberately leading the copyright dispute, but most people still booed and added material for Eric’s actions.
Ruined childhood
Such behavior quickly attracted the attention of Midjourney. Eric has been refunded and banned from Midjourney for just two days.
Taking this opportunity, Eric wrote 15 speeches eloquently, explaining his purpose to people. He said that he did not make a profit from these generated images. He just wanted to remind people that AI drawing is currently lack of supervision. It is often stealing other people’s works for stitching, or generating some terrible things. If this technology is not controlled Constraints, forged images, pictures and other lies will emerge in an endless stream. At the same time, he also admitted that AI will become an important auxiliary tool in art creation in the future, but directly using this tool to create art will erase human thoughts, emotions, etc. factor.
“I’m just mocking”
In the following days, Eric continued to use AI to generate satirical art on other AI platforms, and made no secret of his resistance to those AI companies.
Still don’t let go of Musk
But regarding Eric’s matter of “encouraging people to make peripheral products”, some people did follow suit. T-shirts with pictures of Mickey Mouse were sold on the Internet swaggeringly. Eric did not forget to forward the screenshots, as if to show his staged victory.
