I tried the "generate a photo image of a female adventurer protagonist who raids tombs" on ChatGPT

And got an eerily similar picture as in the article: https://imgur.com/Dv7hkoC

Sometimes it just randomly prompts about the content guidelines and the next day it will do it perfectly right away. Maybe you just had a wrong moment in time, or maybe it depends on the random server you're assigned.

No, it first generates the image and then another completely different component checks the image for adherence to the guidelines. So it's not your prompt that violates the guidelines, but the resulting image (which is different every time for the same prompt)

It's fairly easy to make the association with just text. If you injest all the content in the world, excluding copyrighted material, I would still expect a picture of harrison ford!

I got it to generate the Italian plumber with a red hat after demanding it do so three times in a row. It offered alternatives each time so my guess is it changed... something.

I think Harrison Ford's chin scar should be seen as a witness mark to copyright infringement. It simply should not have rendered this based on that prompt.

It is crazy. I tried the same prompts and got nearly identical images to the author. AI seems to be repeating itself with the same images without variations.

If you're handing out red cards for repetition, aren't you guilty of the same infringement? You repeated the exact same prompt, which is itself an obvious bait for AI to draw the pop-culture lookalike.

I'm surprised by the comments here. When your prompt is so mind-numbingly simple, an obvious "dare" for AI to be a naughty little copyright infringer, can you blame it for dishing up the "big mac" you asked for while sitting in a fancy restaurant?

Don't want Indiana Jones? Don't ask for Indiana Jones!

AI is just a complex lossy compression algorithm.

Whats funny is the look of Indiana Jones was borrowed from the 1954 film Secret of the Incas.

This phenomenon is why I personally get so angry at the license washing that these models are capable of for code: I put out a lot of code as open source... but it is GPL on purpose, as I want your code to be just as free as mine in exchange for getting to use mine. But, now, you're all "I want to build that for myself!" and so you ask an AI and just describe what my project does into the tool... and who is to say it isn't generating something "too close" to my code? Do you even check? If you yourself as a human had first looked at my code, you'd have to be VERY careful to not be accidentally infringing my code... and yet people pretend this AI is somehow not capable of IP theft?!

This really illustrates how unfair copyright enforcement is.

The rules for Disney are not the same as the rules for most creators.
