"Arrr! Nintendo be sailin' the AI seas, pilferin' images of ol' Mario on the X-treme waves!"
2024-09-25
Arrr, the scallywags at Nintendo be settin' sail to hunt down them fancy AI likenesses of our beloved Mario shared on the cursed X! Aye, they be thinkin' they can bottle up the magic, but this ol' sea dog knows true treasure be in the laughter!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ‘round fer a tale from the digital seas where image makin’ AIs be causin’ quite the ruckus! This week, the crafty copyright scallywags at Nintendo unleashed their fearsome hunter, Tracer, upon unsuspectin’ sailors who dared to create images of their beloved mascot, Mario, usin’ the Grok-2 AI. Aye, many a good soul found themselves on the wrong end of a takedown notice, all thanks to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act—what a mouthful, eh?Now, Grok be usin’ the FLUX.1 model, but it seems to have all the filters of a leaky ship, lettin’ images of Mario puffin’ on cigars and swiggin’ grog slip through. The mighty Tracer even be usin’ its own AIs to hunt down such mischief, but alas, even hand-drawn fan art caught the cannon fire! It’s a fine mess, as fan art usually be sailin’ under the radar of legality.
While Nintendo be known fer their fierce protection o’ their treasure, it remains to be seen if they can truly rein in the sea of AI-generated nonsense. With other image generators havin’ rules tighter than a ship’s hold, it seems Flux and its mates be sailin’ without a care. So, will DMCA notices quell the tide of rogue Mario antics? Only time will tell, me mateys!
