    So then the people operating this AI and offering paid services are legally in the wrong and should be taken down or pay reparations to everyone they’ve stolen from.

      Again, that makes as much sense as holding Staedtler responsible because someone used their pencils to duplicate a copyrighted work.

        If Staedtler sampled copywritten works to create pencils that automatically steal it without attribution on demand, then yes it would be exactly like that.

        Those images in the search results are one of three categories:

        1. Officially licensed and distributed works that Spongebob IP owners signed off on

        2. Fair use works, namely noncommercial and parody

        3. Illegal works the posters of which can be sued

        Google themselves didn’t create those images. Google didn’t intentionally profit off of illegal works without giving credit. Google didn’t post those images themselves. AI did all of those things.

            It does actually matter if Google creates the images and then sells them directly. That is what this discussion is about. If you don’t want to be a part of the discussion, fuck off then.

                I see you’ve abandoned your argument to express your mental image of somebody you’ve never seen or heard before. I accept your resignation, then, happy to help you see the light.
