Sloperators are using AI to rip off comedians, artists, and other creators. Instagram head Adam Mosseri says it's a "tricky problem."

    “That’s not enough, though, as I assume many comedians and dancers haven’t gone through the trouble to copyright their material,” he added. “We need a way to help those creatives without letting bad actors make more fake claims (happens all the time unfortunately).”

    Creative works are copyright by default. I guess Mosseri means to say “many [performers] haven’t gone through the trouble of registering copyrights with the government or with copyright policing services,” which is, like so many other things, a hoop that big, prosperous organizations can jump through more easily than individuals can.

      Fuck me his quote got me torqued. If I create a thing, it’s fucking mine. I can go further and register for a trademark, but the copyright is mine. If I so much as take a pic of a mushroom on my phone, that pic is copyrighted instantly and without question.

      Having gone through my own DMCA slog with a news site using my artwork without permission, having copyright without it being registered is basically useless. I consulted two different lawyers and both of them recommended the same thing, register every work I produce, which is just not feasible.

      Took 2 years and multiple self submitted DMCAs before they finally removed my artwork. Lawyers basically told me I couldn’t do shit unless I registered my art.

    In a way gen AI is kind of a blessing in disguise in a silver lining kind of way. I use the internet less and have all but cut out social media. The second I see someone trying to pass AI slop off as their own art I leave.

      Yep. I pretty much use antisocial media exclusively these days. Smaller, more human oriented and operated, with no “algorithms” to drive perpetual engagement. It’s like the internet of almost 30 years ago in all the best ways.

    Dude, your boss Zuck is pushing AI in every Meta product. Of course you’ve got AI posts on Instagram. Get over it.
