Copywriting Your Creation

Copywriting Your Creation

SEPTEMBER 25 2023

Let's dive deeper into the world of AI, copyrights, and protecting artists' work in a way that's easy to understand.

Imagine you're an artist or photographer, creating beautiful artwork or taking stunning pictures. These creations are like your babies – you've put your time, effort, and creativity into making them unique. In this digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, and it can do amazing things, including creating art.

However, there needs to be a solution. Some AI companies use people's artwork and photos to train their AI systems without permission. It's like someone borrowing your favorite toy without asking – not very nice, right? This can upset artists because their hard work is being taken and used without their say-so.

To make things fairer, we want to put the power back into the hands of the artists and creators. We can do this by setting up simple rules, like saying, "Hey, you can't use this unless I say it's okay."

Here are these rules in plain language:

1. If you see a picture or artwork on a website that says it's protected by copyright, you can only use it for something if you ask the person who made it first. It's like asking for permission to borrow a friend's toy.

2. You can only use pictures or art if you ask for things like training AI systems. If you use them without permission, you might get into trouble, like breaking the rules in a game.

3. When you visit a website with these rules, you agree to follow them and respect the copyrights of the pictures or artwork you find there. It's like deciding to follow the rules at a playground.

4. The person who created the picture or artwork can change these rules at any time. It's like them saying, "I'm okay with you borrowing my toy today, but maybe not tomorrow."

These rules might not stop big companies from using pictures without asking, but they're a good starting point. In the future, there might be even more robust laws to protect artists, and these rules will ensure that people who misuse pictures or art will have to remove them from their AI systems. It's like ensuring everyone plays by the same fair rules in a game.
