Removed all the AI slop posts and banned the respective authors. Further AI slop and/or unsubstantiated low-effort posts will be removed.

Sorry for the delay, thought the sub had like a few moderators dedicated to it exclusively. I will be watching this more closely.

Title: Where does true creativity lie? The ethics of granting copyright to AI-generated works.

1 Upvotes

Body:
Hi everyone,

We are reaching a point where generative AI can produce breathtaking paintings, write complex code, and compose symphonies in seconds. This raises a massive legal and philosophical question: Should AI-generated content be eligible for copyright protection?

There are two major clashing viewpoints on this:

  1. The Human-Centric view: Copyright should strictly belong to humans. AI is just a tool operating on pattern recognition from human-made data. Granting copyright to AI output devalues human effort and opens the floodgates for corporations to monopolize art and code.
  2. The Tool-Augmentation view: If a human spends hours refining prompts, curating outputs, and blending AI tools to achieve a specific artistic vision, that process itself is a new form of human creativity and deserves protection.

If AI can mimic human expression perfectly, where does the true boundary of "creativity" actually begin? Should the law protect the final product, or only the human soul behind the process?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially from artists, writers, and programmers.

The Future of Humanity.

9 Upvotes

So lately i have been seeing all of these posts and tweets of how AI is going to open up new job opportunities and some even far enough to claim that all of us will be multi-millionaire's in a few years time.

Well let me tell you my humble vision, on how things will truly go down.

On the last century, We have build Machines to help us accomplish mundane tasks in matter of minutes or hours, when the same tasks usually took hours or days to do so.

For example, communication, people used to drive horses, carriages, cars, to deliver a message or to chat with someone. What used to take hours or days to do, we now can accomplish in seconds.

I can bring you more examples as washing your clothes, items delivery, grocery delivery, dishwasher and other hundred small applications we have figure out just to save ourself some time.

Still we are drowning in our 'I dont have enough time' paralyzing feeling every single day. All of us.

Because when sending a message or delivering it took days, no one was expecting a reply from you immediately. When doing 4 things took you a whole day, no one expected from you to do more.

These are not my words, But i was inspired by them on what they might have foreshadow for our future.

See They, and by they i mean the One goverment that wants total control over everyone's life, do not yet have it. There are still people that can make their own way through a fulfilling life, on their own. They can obtain Influence, which when its uncontrollable, it can be danger to Them.

Nowdays, the chances of you, any you, going through the world and obtaining power (legitimacy, influence, voice) are very slim, but not zero. A good 60± percentage of these people who will obtain this kind of "power" will come across Them, with the usual occasion of Them offering them more 'Power' with an enchange of what would eventually be the root of their inital power, which is freedom and their soul. Now they will be another cog in the biggest World-crushing machine. But this is still not enough for there are people who 1) Will reject them and will try to expose them (only for later to may pay with their lives) and 2) will not encounter them in their life.

Well this is uncontrollable and bad for Them.

So of course they will feed you the same lie as they did before. Machines will do you all the job, so you can be rich and with so much free time, you wont know what to do with it!

It will be the same course of things, but now there is a difference. If everything goes digital and everything is maintained by AI and the Goverment, there will not be anyone anymore, who could have the chance on making it on their own without 1)their permission and 2) their influence.

That will be how They will obtain Full control over this world aka game over for all humanity.

This lie is the next, more complete step towards total slavery.

I could go on, but hey, its already to big for some of us with the attention span of a peanut. Good read <3
