🤖 AI Image Generation: Innovative Tool or Copyright Thief?

The recent "Ghiblification" trend triggered by the GPT image generation update has highlighted the issue of AI models being trained on copyrighted materials. The article points out that although imitating an artistic style may be legally permitted, AI can easily replicate specific styles (such as Ghibli animations) and copyrighted characters, which feels like a "soulless fax version" that strips away the humanistic value of the original work. Through experiments, the author demonstrates that even when using descriptive prompts that do not directly name the IP (such as "an archaeological adventurer wearing a hat and using a whip" or "a female adventurer protagonist raiding an ancient tomb"), GPT can generate images highly similar to those of Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, John McClane, James Bond, He-Man, and even the Terminator. Although some IPs (such as Mario) seem to have more stringent protection. This near-perfect imitation ability, while showcasing the power of AI technology (sometimes with better results than Google searches), also exposes its nature as "stealing" others' intellectual property, and it is still far from a general artificial intelligence (AGI) with truly original thinking. The article concludes by questioning whether the development of AI necessarily has to come at the cost of encouraging intellectual property theft.
