Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can’t prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on

    No, that’s fine - just as we understand it.

    Your stance against unfettered capitalism is that - if I make some art and aomeone puts it online, some multibillion dollar games house should be able to grab it and use it in their game for free.

    I can feel the capitalists quaking in their boots already. I’m sure the Reddit admins agree with you.

      Is that what you think we’re talking about, directly copying artwork? There’s already laws for that, regardless of who or what creates the art. What is concerning people is that AI can be trained on other people’s art and then told to create new art. It’s not a copy, it’s a new thing, but it used old stuff to come up with the new stuff. (humans do this too)

      I’m sure the Reddit admins agree with you.

      I don’t even know what this means.

      Edit: I don’t know if this needs to be said but I am not the original person you replied to.

        What I was trying to talk about is what the commenter meant by “unfettered capitalism has not, and will not work except for those already at the top.” - it wasn’t clear how it related to this story - but we seem to have gone off at tangent.

        Yes. It is entirely dependent on the old stuff. We have laws for that too, in terms of licences for derivative works.

          My guess is that they saw the phrase “let the market decide” and took that to mean “unfettered capitalism”. But yeah, sorry about the tanget I’ve dragged you into, haha.

          but they’re not derivative works, at least not in how I understand the term. They’re entirely new works.
