The actor told an audience in London that AI was a “burning issue” for actors.

      Here is current precedent:

      This isn’t the first time technology and copyright law have crashed into each other. Google successfully defended itself against a lawsuit by arguing that transformative use allowed for the scraping of text from books to create its search engine, and for the time being, this decision remains precedential.

      Please explain, in your view, the substantive differences.

          The AI doesn’t scrape words, in context. It scrapes morphemes and pieces them together. That’s how voice AI works. I work with voice AI as part of my job, and learning to feed it morphemes instead of full words is often important, because the AI trips up on some of its inflections.

          It’s weird that you still think I’m defending this usage after this many posts. What are you missing?

              Yeah me and the Harvard Business Review are wrong about existing precdent because you have very strong feelings.

              Guess the SAG strike should end then, since this is all settled!

              Fun fact: by your current interpretation, since movie companies own the likeness of characters within movies, they can reuse those characters, and potentially even those actors in some instances (since they can claim they are representative of similar archetypes) forever and the movie stars don’t need to get paid. Writers are flat fucked so long as the studios train AI on prior scripts they own.

              This is why semantics are important in law.

                  You don’t know what ad hominem means if you think I’ve attacked you at all. Idk what you think a straw man is, but maybe just leave those words for another day when you know what they mean.

                  Your points are wrong on their own merit, and you have no case law to back you up. Quite the opposite.

                    Your “nuh uh” arguments are as ineffective here as they would be in your pretend court scenario.

                    Again, I say, good day, sir
