  1. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    This is what lawyers like me (#advertising and marketing law) help our clients avoid. Either someone ignored legal advice or never sought review, or someone used the image as a placeholder and no one recognized the celebrity nor went back to check that they had a proper model release, or, also possible that someone used an “AI” tool to generate an image to “look like Dua Lipa”, thinking they could avoid liability.(Wrong.)

    tldr: Hire an advertising lawyer.

  13. "This morning, the court’s copyright-specialized 42nd Civil Chamber (Presiding Judge Dr. Elke Schwager with Judges Mattes and Hahn) commenced the one-day trial in GEMA v. OpenAI. The presiding judge left no doubt in her introductory outline of the issues in the case that the panel deems OpenAI liable for copyright infringement. She noted that the facts (which OpenAI addressed in apparently voluminous pleadings) were actually “not complicated” given that OpenAI does not dispute the use of the copyrighted works at issue in the training of its ChatGPT model. The judges are furthermore unpersuaded that users, not OpenAI, bear the responsibility for ChatGPT’s outputs."
