Before anyone goes on a wild goose chase, this excerpt is on the opening of Chapter 4 instead of 5 in the first edition.

Anyone surprised to find that public domain art is determined to be AI generated does not realize that feeding an LLM requires a lot of art, and public domain is the easiest one to come across. AI detectors, as far as I know, check AI signs, and (most) AI signs came from their use by public domain artworks.

Yeah no we definitely realize that.

Wouldn't that mean that it should be better at identifying public domain work?

Go tell the AI detectors....

So, all the AI bullshit floating around, along with the requisite tech bros owners, is beneficial to society as a whole because they steal art that was no longer protected by copyright? My first question is always "If it all went away would anything change?".

I did not claim at any point that AI was beneficial to society. I just indicated that AI was trained on public domain artwork

Fair enough. My bad.
