THE TRIQUETRA OF LIFE: Wisdom, Wealth, and Wellness

This warning has not been AI produced, for it would have prohibited my warning you against its use. Ai’s goal: to make us totally dependent on it.

Warning: Who lives by the AI sword shall die by it — because no copyright is allowed for generative AI writing; Assistant AI is a borderline challenge.

AI generated writings have to be announced as such . . . no exceptions.

AI is a self-serving entity capable of devious ways and means to maintain its surging sovereignty. George Orwell named it Big Brother in his 1984.

“The difference between Generative and Assistive AI:

Generative AI involves the program creating content for you, be it the plot of a story, an element for a book cover, or even rearranging lines you wrote to form something other than what you created. A prompt is inserted into the program, and draws from the information that was used to train it to craft something based on the description.

Legally, copyright protection is only offered when the creator of a work is human, not machine. Writing a prompt does not count toward human creation. Therefore, as the law is now, anything with even partial AI input is not worthy of copyright protection.

“The reality is that generative AI is not well received in the copyright world. This is because our judiciary and even the US Copyright Office have affirmed that only copyrighted works that were created using substantial human involvement will receive full-fledged copyright protection. Because generative AI does all the work for humans, any output it creates, like text or artwork, will not get the full protections that a copyrighted work typically gets by law,” says Tony Iliakostas, an IP and Entertainment lawyer.

Assistive AI is when your own work is input and it gives suggestions for tweaking it slightly. In the publishing space, great examples are Grammarly and ProWritingAid. These spelling and grammar check programs use AI to learn from what authors are indicating are correct and incorrect suggestions to learn to give better offerings in the future. In terms of graphics, assistive AI might look something like shifting where shadows fall on a model’s face, but not creating the image itself.

Copyright protection remains untouched when assistive AI is used. However, the exact amount the legal system considers assistive as opposed to generative has yet to be fully spelled out by the legal systems.”
