[Happy News] Kazuma Kaneko's new AI is caught stealing copyrighted material from Disney

automaton-media.com/en/news/ai-in-kazuma-kanekos-new-game-seemingly-outputs-images-similar-to-disney-characters-and-other-copyrighted-material-raising-concerns/

Kazuma Kaneko the famous artist that worked on Megami Tensei series sold his soul to the AIslop meme.

This has now backfired as his AI was revealed to have traces of copyrighted material from Disney and DC Comics

Kazuma has blatantly lied by saying his AI model only used his own art work, which players have confirmed to be false after seeing DC comic logos on the characters.

Another custom card created by the model featured a logo very similar to the Superman shield emblem – which is, naturally, also trademarked and copyrighted.

The moment the artist for Megami Tensei series sold his soul for profit, he is immediately now going to face legal consequences.

I liked nocturne and digital devil

on the bright side he will have to make another one of them to avoid legal debt.

OH NO, THINK OF THE POOR CORPORATIONS

really makes you question if he was an original artist in the first place or just let people do the work for him.

There is a reason why he doesn't work with Atlus anymore

Some artists actually trace over someone elses art, and then they just make adjustments to it after. Like you trace the pose of someone elses art, but then you add different shading and colors so no one will notice. AI just makes it more blatant what's happening.

He always ripped off pop culture stuff for his designs anyway. Same for his demons.

His coloring that people like was done by Megumi Shiraishi.

disney is gonna eventually spaz out and get AI banned for everyone but them

This is the most effective way for us to destroy AI. If we all just deliberately use AI to steal disney's work they will destroy it for us.

Use a shitty AI image generator

Train it on kaneko's art

It still has the shitty original dataset leaking through

Pretty obvious it's just because of how AI works on the first place

Is Mickey Mouse public domain yet?

Reminder the ugly guest designs from SMT IV was Kaneko's idea too

steamboat willy is public domain
the current incarnation of mickey mouse is not, because disney likes to pull technicalities.

Tracing with paper

:)

Tracing with a computer

:((

The lie was obvious to anyone with a concept of how these generative models work. The fact that it shat out Elsa, and they added her to the game without trying to keep up the pretense for any amount of time, is funny though.

This is how I feel about Uematsu given how his output fell off a fucking cliff the moment he left Square.

If anyone can crash the AI plane, it's Disney.

Are they claiming to have made an imagegen model from scratch? Fine-tuning something on a Stable Diffusion base doesn't remove all the info SD was trained on

This feels like some gay freemason scam, they're probably throwing this guy under the bus so they can start litigation. What a fucking cuck sell out.

I wonder whose idea to incorporate the tumor (Walter) into his design, the artist or the devs?

Nah the Japanese are just very jewish. See how they ruined anime and video games with western SJW shit all for the sake of imagined profit. Which didn't pan out either obviously, look at China.

if anyone tries to claim they "ethically" trained a model on one person's art or whatever the fuck, it's instant tell they're lying. you need actual millions of images to train a full model

Is Kanekover...

He said that the AI was used exclusively on his art only and nothing else.

every single model of AI of any kind is trained in copyrighted material, are you stupid?

kazuma kaneko said that his ai doesn't do that. He claimed his AI only uses his own art, and that's where the legal trouble comes in. You need to learn how to read.

likewise, people talking about "unthetical" AI are also mentally retarded

I'm not a hypocrite, and think all tracers should be killed. What now?

Well all other artist love tracers, I've never heard artists complain about tracing ever. What do you say now bloody bitch?

bloody bitch

I say good morning saars

Here's your Kaneko design for Idun.

You haven't heard them complain about tracing because you're not an artist.

Do they just not look at all what the toaster prints out?

Rude.

Sounds like an honest case of miscommunication.

Directors: "We need you to make an AI of Kaneko's art"

Engineers: "Oh, so you want Stable Diffusion with a finetune based on Kaneko's art, got it"

Directors: "??? whatever"

Directors: "What did you train this on? Why is it outputting copyrighted material?"

Engineers: "WE only trained this on Kaneko's art. Those who trained base Stable Diffusion, on the other hand..."

dont care, still using ai

dont care, still using ai

How hard is it to just do your job instead of trying to get a graphics card to do it for you?

why do all these chatgpt gens have that noise? watermark?

It just means that "train an ai" is nonsense and they actually just fine tuned an ai that already had all of the internet in it already.

DaMN BITCH, I AM ARTIST! I USE COMPUTER! I NEVER SEE COMPLAIN ABOUT TRACING DAMN BASTARD! YOU LIE DAMN BASTARD!

Nobody really cares bout you using ai to make gay porn but once someone starts asking money for it, it becomes a lot less acceptable.

If I'm understanding descriptions of the game right, the cards are generated locally for your game, so no the devs don't see what's being made, only (You) do.

the Japanese are just very jewish

I thought the führer himself said the japs are "honorary aryans".

you HAVE to prompt "elsa" to get a character looking like that

why, that post is 100% correct.
it aged like wine, not milk.

Does he actually understand how AI image generation works? Are you sure some suit didn't just tell him that making a fine-tune of SD is 'only using your own art'? Guy is 60, he might just have gotten tricked by definitions.

lol what could go wrong

feels like there's no doubt that this is what the story is
like the story of everything ai, there is a TON of confidence to say something that is based on missing foundation

Is the apple supposed to be the moon? Or the thing she shits out

digital distribution of illustrated smut is a problem.
only sell hand drawn paintings of naked anime women.

I read a whole jp article about this game and why kaneko was involved and its so bizarre.
Kaneko found them and applied to work for them and this noname dogshit company was like "wait... he wants to work for us? This isnt a joke? THE kaneko?"
He said he admired colopl for "having passion for creation" or some dumb bullshit. Look at their catalogue of low tier shovelware and tell me if you see passion.
Anyway he had this idea of a fake AI version of himself making art alongside his own and how the fake kaneko was like a fake god or something, while the real him is the true god. In theory the idea sounds promising and he was so enthusiastic talking about it he was like "play it yourself because if i say any more it will spoil things"
But it was clear from the get go this was a dogshit idea and kaneko really fucking lost the plot here.
I really dont get wtf he saw in this company that was promising in his eyes.

Will kaneko get jailed like the sanic founder

seemy jewdar is going off like CRAZY

I really dont get wtf he saw in this company that was promising in his eyes.

maybe he flew the idea by a bunch of companies and they were just the first to not call him a retard

oh my god, finally a company that understands PASSION and CREATIVITY despite me doing literally fucking nothing for over a decade because im lazy

Shit no actually it might not even be laziness, maybe kanekos ideas are all just so fucking bad atlus/sega shuts him down.

Ai fag is a literal fag

i did before ai drowned out all accusations of tracing. doesn't mean it never happened

Is there Nuwa in the game

Train a LORA

Call it an "AI"

This is what happens when retarded hype men sell boomers on using tech they don't understand

why do japanese boomers just stop giving a fuck after a certain point? i think the only ones in the vidya industry who haven't lost their minds and fire are miyamoto and kojima

If I'm understanding descriptions of the game right, the cards are generated locally for your game, s

wtfh.
how in the hell does this bullshit function?
How are you supposed to build a deck when the cards have random stats and attributes?

miyamoto and kojima

lol

teach AI how to draw

instruct it to draw something similar to Elsa

DISNEY SUE THIS MAN

copyright cucks needs to die

the only ones who are gay here are (YOU)

Hitler was kind of retarded. “Jews are bad” was pretty much the only thing he was correct about, and it was a commonly held opinion at the time, anyway.

I'm pretty sure it's all boomers

OP seemed a bit of a stretch but that one does make me wonder, same colors very similar design.

With what political power? their influence is done, widely hated on every side.

How long before Atlus had Doi redesigned every demon in the series?

Reminder that superman couldn't fly in his first year, wonder if DC will try and ping anybody on that in a few years, although if I was the judge I would say flight is a generic enough power to allow people to independently put it on superman

Probably never if they still keep the pace of 10+ new demons every game

Not necessarily. AI imagegen models can be coerced into drawing Mario by simply prompting for a red plumber.

Imagine AI Doi

I can't take it anymore, anon. I want sexy redesign for old demon, and I want them now.

Not necessarily.

You absolutely do. They're using ancient models too.
You're not even remotely correct about this, you cannot possibly get Elsa without typing "Elsa", Mario is a completely different thing and you're thinking of how Dalle or Midjourney treat prompts which has nothing to do with how SD treats them.

If they weren't lying or being deliberately disingenuous for PR purposes then they fundamentally misunderstand how AI works.

A model requires millions if not billions of reference points to be trained. There is no way Kaneko could possibly have done that, it is simply not humanly possible. And it's hard to believe that a game company would have the knowhow, staff, or funds to create an AI model from scratch to begin with.

What they seem to be saying is that they TRAINED (not MADE, important distinction) the AI with Kaneko's art, but "training" just means adding a directional bias to the AI. The model itself is still based on the millions of other pieces of art that it was created with.

you absolutely can get characters without their name on stable diffusion retard

Probably will output lolis like Demeter and Amanozako

Feel free to prove me wrong.

inb4 "frozen"

no

All good Japanese artists steal. All of their original stuff especially music is total slop. F to Kenji Yamamoto

an honest case of miscommunication

Yeah I'm totally sure him saying that creating the AI model was harder than him doing the art by hand was totally not to outright scam people.

millions

tens of thousands is fine for latest models
it's possible to ethically train a model from scratch by training it first on licensed reference pose art to give it an anatomical/pose layer
then training it on a specific art style to create a style layer (<200 images)
but NOBODY does this because it takes effort and you have to hire software engineers

They'd probably argue that Superman is the one who popularized flight in the first place. Comic book characters are probably going to be a mine field of legal shit. Specially with the whole multiverse focus establishing that the same character across different editions are in fact in their own universe each one is essentially an original character. So when Spider-Man does go public you still won't be able to pull from anything else that's ever been done with the character.

No need, they did a lot to purge Kaneko's artworks already. Anything after, what, Deep SJ? is either models only or redraws like P5X/SMTV.

Nigga that's not tracing

I don't care. Stealing from corps is based.

ethically sourced

Why would anyone fall for this? Also every techbro grift turns out to be a scam in the end.

AI sloppers usually steal from danbooru

I don't know if Kaneko is willingly lying or if he's relaying what the scam techbro company told him. It's very possible that he was told the model was being trained on only his art which turned out to not be true.

copyrighting hairstyles

really?

Anyone tried the game? Honestly I dont understand why anyone would pay money in this STS like for RELICS which you roll with gems(real money) thats not shared between characters. They also have a monthly subscription for about 15 usd which lets you create more doodoo ai cards, why the fuck would you pay for that instead of buying any deckbuilder instead on steam? I think it would be an OK deckbuilder after spending an hour on it if they removed the stupid monetization and AI garbage.

grimacing.jpg - 716x828, 305.17K

aisloppers get another L

You think you hate jeets enough but you dont

maybe theyre being led to self destruct art as a whole.

All I've learned from this is that AI takes talent after all.

Imagine being a well acclaimed artist working during the golden age close to retirement age and the last thing you do is ruin your reputation with AI slop.

Imagine doing what you want and not being constrained by the expectations and wants of parasites who don't love you.

Sounds like a bullshit PR story the scam company cooked up.

Miyamoto

The overrated hype man who's spent 30 years seething about Donkey Kong?

Kojima

The retard obsessed with C-list actors because he's always desired to be a Hollywood director?

noname dogshit company

They're one of the biggest gacha companies in asia

I did, it's boring as fuck, the pace is slow, everything is ugly, the cards have really dull effect, I don't even understand why it needs to pretend to be a dungeon crawler when all you can do is deciding to go left or right so the whole thing only purpose is to waste more of your time
The only interesting bit about it is putting cards in front of attacks to block them
