Very clear example of intellectual property theft via AI, touted as proof of how good the AI is by AI company employee

[highplainsdem]

The employee is Hamish Kerr, who works for Anthropic, one of whose AI models is Claude.

The plagiarism, which Kerr was unaware of, was nailed by Twitter's Community Notes.

Some of the replies to Hamish Kerr's post:

looks to be plagiarized without attribution from @kishimisu


Hmm. I’ve seen this before on a YouTube shader tutorial I think? That’s a pretty recognizable work, at least stylistically. Now, that may make this even more interesting?


Impressive? First link on my Google Search. What is impressive here is the wholesale theft and misattribution of honest work done by others.


Damn just right now looked that you work at anthropic. Stealing and training ah. Hypocrites.


Easy for a machine to do that if it's just stealing the work of an animator that did that first, I think.


It is without doubt a very powerful stealing software


You could call it what it really is though.

Theft.

You're stealing the work of @kishimisu, not attributing it to him and then passing it off as AI.

I hope there is a punishment for what you're doing.

1. Writing killed minstrels

AI kills thinking

2. Thieves gonna thieve.

And to do it, the latest in world-destroying electrical monsters. First, search and profiling. Then crypto, now AI.

If I gotta choose between AI and A/C, as the power grid buckles and breaks so that mental adolescents and compete for **** length, oops, I mean AI superiority among the mediocre, I choose A/C.

This is a race where the horses all die trying to reach the finish line. And end up even, where they started.

Race as fast as you can to stay in the same place.

Lewis Carroll, red queen?
Rainbow’s end? (Remarkably appropriate)
Special Relativity?

Or just damn fool humans killing each other (and us) for an imaginary ring?

Can people use AI to sue AI? That’s about where we are headed. Cue Star Trek references.

WAIT!

A Taste of Armageddon

In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise visits a planet engaged in a completely computer-simulated war with a neighboring planet, but the casualties, including the Enterprise's crew, are supposed to be real.

3. We have laws around this already. Use them.

Thievery is thievery regardless of what tool you use.

Again I do not get the hype.
