AI Services, and The Law!

AI Services, and The Law!

By: Joseph M. Lenard

As the Author of “HOW TO WRITE A BOOK AND GET IT PUBLISHED: HINTS, TIPS & TECHNIQUES” book as well as a former Information-Technology expert – I felt in incumbent upon me to weigh in on the whole use of Artificial-Intelligence Services…

Let me flat out say it is “untested” in Courts the degree to which AI mined text falls under plagiarism and/or Copyright Laws – certainly, any and all aspects of any AI Service (TOS) Terms-Of-Service would/will/does apply. As an Author myself I dare say: NEVER, EVER, USE AI TEXT GENERATORS for your work. Sure, it can be a good Research Tool in some/many regards but you should never, ever, query an AI System in order to mine text for your use! IT IS UNETHICAL to say the least; and I dare add DISHONEST; and again yet “untested” in the Courts as to plagiarism and/or Copyright related Laws.

Not a single line in any of my books or online articles come from AI Generated Source (unless otherwise noted going forward by way of “example” of how they can/may work. Proper accreditation rules would apply. But, again, yes, they can be a handy Research Tool – HOWEVER, one should NOT be your sole Source regarding anything. The AI Systems have already proved to be fallible and provide incorrect information (remember the phrase: Garbage In, Garbage Out) they are only as good as the Sources they themselves “mine data and information” from and the Internet is full of FALSE INFORMATION. As Reagan said: “Trust, but verify!”

As Rush sings, the Rock Trio not Limbaugh (LOL) in “The Spirit Of Radio” (Copyright Neil Peart (lyrics) Rush (music) 1980 (All Rights Reserved to respected owners)) “All this Machinery making modern Music, can still be open-hearted. Not so coldly charted. It’s really just a Question of your honesty…”

You may recall as part of my several Movies related pieces (like this one, another one, and still a third), I spoke about AI in Movies and the whole SAG/AFTRA Strike one of the supposed “issues” was about “image Rights” going forward as had been foretold by two movies of the past “Looker” and “S1M0NE” the day would come that they could easily just “copy” someone’s likeness and Computer render them into Film as well as CGI generate entire Set/location(s) behind them. Be able to Produce a Movie without ever having to leave a Studio Corporate Office.

From “Movies and Politics 2:”

As I sit here typing and preparing this article for future week’s release, the SAG (Actors, Actresses, gender-confused-ITS, etc./whatever) had announced they will join the Writers Guild and go on Strike (as if anyone with REAL MAJOR IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS of surviving day-to-day in this #BIDENconomy (2 part series on this coming soon)) noticed or cared). Does anyone not think Politics is involved to some degree? I will say I sympathize on one point only – and that is about not allowing image/likeness a “complete sense of self” being able to be “scanned and saved” for in perpetuity use.

Now, if you do not know, Bruce Willis is having Health Issues so he “willingly” and “knowingly” signed an “advance/future use” of such Contract (and the Hollyweird Leftist loons wanting to use the “Looker” (keep reading) excuse (like Fran Drescher down-thread), conveniently want to ignore the precedence (and there will be plenty of people willing to sell “their likeness” for future for CA$H NOW; for foreground (Star) or background (Extra) use)) so he will live on in Movies long after he is able to Film any and perhaps even past his actual time Living on Earth.

Having one’s image, likeness, “lifted” for continual future AI and CGI use is indeed a moral, values, principles, political, as well as contractual/legal issue. Think if your Job could CLONE you and keep your Clone to do your Job while pink-slipping you! Those of us that lived in the 80’s new this day was coming: see the movie “LOOKER” (Susan Dey (yes, the 70’s “Partridge Family” Show Susan Dey), Albert Finney, James Coburn) as well as the more-or-less “copy” or clone (er… “reboot” in Hollywood parlance) with Al Pacino “S1M0NE” (pronounced SimOne or Simone, depending on your preference, as former IT guy I really love this film and watched my DVD of it again just the other day). And more and more will be Rendered by Computer (Studio can buy a Cray Super-Computer and never need Actors/Actresses or even Movie sets ever again (which can be created just as easily as we’ve already seen AI already creating whole “interpretations” of other Planets and Life which could exist, and just the next evolution of the SimCity trend).

Now having said that – time to rip them a new… That is where my sympathy ends – as please understand I am NOT speaking about ALL in SAG, Writers-Guild, etc., but MOST, huge majority, of all these folks are anti-American, whine about Capitalism, support FASCICRATS. They never cared how badly the obaMAO/Biden admin destroyed the Middle-Class and they were slightly starting to recover under Trump until the Wuhan hysteria put that all on hold, and now after these Leftists actively worked to Lie, Cheat, Steal the 2020 Election (and resist any and all Election Integrity measures/updates to assure you can do it again anytime you choose) to install BiDUMB. #BIDENflation and #BIDENrecession affects them (due to #BIDENflation they’re ”CRYING” now. SUFFER, like you’ve forced upon everyone else.

Continued from “Movies and Politics 2:”

You (Fran Drescher and others) are vocally SOCIALIST in your “Personal Life” rhetoric, so you upper-level higher-paid folks now should PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. Share and spread YOUR WEALTH, many of you are Millionaires, SHARE SOME OF THAT WEALTH with the lower-level folks YOU PRETEND to care about and are supposedly currently fighting for. It is ALL BULLSHIT, it as always is Leftist HYPOCRISY, no matter how much you try to deflect, distract, distort, and deny – it is all about MONEY — follow the money (and how those at the top of that pay-scale will be getting the BIGGEST CHUNK of the new monies they demand (the Wealthy getting Wealthier, the very thing they decry))! Hell we all know the stats; Leftists give least to Charity – they want to have the Fed’s steal from you to “redistribute” to others and pretend “they helped” anyone!

VIDEO (2m 9s): S1M0NE (2002)

The corresponding/correlating CTP Show goes different direction, including the issues of Writing and use of AI and “formula’s” (that AI is all about, patterning) in books and movies – especially the “Save The Cat” method someone is peddling of late. Hope, as always, you will consider watching or listening to the Show as well as reading this piece and vice-versa those who are Fans of the Show I am always pleading (no, not afraid to BEG, LOL) with them to also read the relating TLB pieces!

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
