    This case is not just about AI, it’s about the humans that use AI to violate the law, infringe on intellectual property rights and flout common decency.”

    Well put.

      “That use AI to violate the law”

      Watch out impressionists. If you get too good you might become a lawbreaker. The AI hysteria is beyond absurd.

        Impressionists have nothing to do with this.

        If I scraped all Beyonce’s videos, cut it up and join it into another video, and called it “Beyonce: resurrected”, I’m not doing am impression. I’m stealing someone’s work and likeness for commercial purposes.

          Actually cutting it up into another video makes it transformative and it’s protected under the DMCA. Thank you for proving you don’t know what you’re talking about. Take care.
