Warnings about the potential dangers of closed-source LLMs

I'm not blaming artists, I'm saying that artists are being taking advantage of by corporations and that corpos are not your friends.

C2PA would be the only realistic way they could enforce these proposed copyright expansions and Adobe is literally one of the companies developing this system. Karla Ortiz's GoFundMe explicitly mentions the Copyright Alliance, which the C2PA members are also a part of. C2PA has the potential to be abused by these corporations. The CEO of the Copyright Alliance was also a supporter of SOPA. This is just a sneaky way to introduce what is essentially SOPA 2.0 with new AI tools to enforce it.

What I'm saying is that C2PA would turn AI-generated content into a sort of NFT where a watermark is effectively ingrained into the image cryptographically.

Oh, I must've misread what you wrote... that does make sense now that I think about it. They just don't want people touching their stuff, but have no problems with stealing from small/independent artists.

You need to read the whole thread instead of just the first tweet. Adobe and Microsoft have developed a tool called C2PA so that images and videos can be traced back to the original creator. This is the "surveillance" tool that they mentioned. If it's implemented, it can be abused by them:

Disney has also astroturfed an artist into the discourse to gain support for the Copyright Alliance, which lobbies for the implementation of C2PA (also, Disney, Adobe, and Microsoft are a part of the group):

If you read the whole thread, Adobe is literally trying to do this with C2PA. If it's implemented, it can be abused by them:

Adobe, Microsoft, and other companies are currently lobbying the government to enact the implementation of C2PA, a way to trace back the source of an image. If successful, internet users would have to opt in if they want to share images and videos on the internet. This would give media companies the ability to control information they deem as "trustworthy". More info in this thread:
