Is nintendo replacing their lawyers with ai soon too?
Isn't this the same broken AI that has been striking youtube videos about Minecraft clients? Why is every company suddenly using this?
Edit: Yes it is. I really don't know what to say anymore. Imagine applying youtube's broken copyright system to the entire internet, but even worse.
Energy wasted to create an AI image to have more energy wasted to have an AI remove it. I'd say this is a win for AI
- AI actually stands for Artificial Incredible harm being caused to the planet
- It's more of a win for Nintendo really.
  
  I forgot the "/s" at the end 😀.
  But on that point, Nintendo's actions are making it more difficult for me to play on my switch.
Why does the title specify that the tool is taking down “AI-generated” pictures if the article focuses on how it’s taking down fan art indiscriminately?
- Because anything AI-related gets more clicks.
Two can play that game. I bet it is possible to create an AI tool that generates and posts Mario pictures faster than they can take them down. Why you'd want to do that I don't know.
- Spite. That's why.
I thought AI generated pictures were automatically public domain and unable to be copyrighted?
- You've got that the other way around. You can't copyright AI generated pictures, but pictures created by AI can still be taken down as violations of copyright law.
- Do you have the time and money to fite that in court against Nintendo?
Nintendo is trying to protect their number one Mario drawer.
It was only a matter of time, especially for Nintendo.
Just let the man have a pint! He’s certainly earned it.
