AI Copyright Clashes | Let’s discuss what you need to know as creators/consumers using AI
Join a live stream hosted by Crowd Render this Friday to discuss the subject of copyright and AI, in the context of Blender.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that AI is everywhere now, even in Blender. Your use of AI, or someone else’s use of your content for training AI has potential consequences for your rights, and you need to know what those are.
So we’re doing a live stream to discuss and take questions on the subject of copyright and AI. This stream will be this Friday evening at 8pm, GMT, 3pm for the US east coast and midday US West Coast.
We’re also going to talk about the consequences for anyone, including tech giants like OpenAI and Meta, when they use your, or anyone else’s work to train their generative AI models without consent. We’re going to cover some of the current cases of companies that are using this practice and what is being done about it.
So whether you are using AI in your Blender work, or curious about how your art work could be used to train AI, or you are training AI yourself, you need to be across the issues the world is facing as we ride this new wave of tech innovation.
How did this come about? I’m passionate about education and especially when it comes to intellectual property rights. I studied IP law at University and then decided I’d rather be a developer and make great tools for artists. Ken from www.katsbits.com shares a similar interest in the most recent developments of legal issues and cases that shine a light on what the current status of your rights are when you use generative AI in your work.
You can help us out by registering for this live stream event, to be held on youtube, by grabbing a free ticket here. This really helps and you get a chance to submit a question to ask us during the stream which we’ll have a think about before hand.
I think this initiative is noble for several reasons…
The true definition of “AI” is… “Software for managing unauthorized third-party content”, because in terms of intelligence, it has nothing… In fact, tell me just one thing that “AI” has done to date that hasn’t depended on stealing other people’s content created by humans… I don’t know…
The Drug of the Future is not marijuana, it is not cocaine, it is not LSD, it is not synthetic drugs, but it is “AI”, a technological drug created by Big-Techs that with the promise that everything can be easy,
This drug comes to demotivate humans’ search for artistic, intellectual and even moral knowledge, as they no longer respect what belongs to others…
A drug that is inside homes, everyone has access to it, not even children are protected, and I can hear them saying: We don’t need to study this or that anymore because there is “AI”.
Most people use these things, not only does it infringe copyright, but it also compromises their Cognitive and Creative capacity… So, in a few years what kind of human being will exist on the Planet? Imagine children growing up no longer enjoying drawing, playing with colored pencils… Stopping themselves from using their creativity… What kind of human beings will there be on the Planet in the coming generations?
People without pleasure in creating, without using creativity… What a boring world this will be?
I know people who spend the whole day in front of a PC or cell phone waiting for an image that never arrives, “the one they are really imagining”…
These people are suffering from anxiety, they get irritated easily, they have sleep and eating disorders…
The problem is that Big-Techs are in a headlong race to demotivate human creativity so that future generations become dependent on their services…
This talk of letting “AI” do it for you is a trap…
In this generation the damage won’t even be that great because people lived through previous decades of their creativity, but what about the next ones who were born into a world with “AI”?
Users without basic artistic knowledge, who will become dependent on “AI” even to write a simple advertisement for a product…
“AI” users say now we no longer need writers, now we no longer need artists, but in fact they are using their content, since what “AI” has in its database are literary works, art, and content created by incredible humans that are being stolen by these companies, stealing other people’s content without authorization from its creators.
The Brain is like a muscle, if you stop using it, you will lose the capacity for logical and creative reasoning… Make no mistake… “AI” is a Hard Drug…
It seems funny, but “The Zombie Apocalypse will be real”, very soon we will have a planet with a multitude of humans who no longer exercise basic thinking, intellectual and creative bases, we will soon look at many humans who most resemble Zombies in their behavior, They will no longer have social intellect capabilities…
The Zombies are coming…
Now I know why “Elon Musk” and “Jeff Bezos” want to go to Mars…
Shout out to Big Techs… “We don’t do things for results, we do things because we love it and because the creative and artistic process is pleasurable and rewarding…
We don’t want misleading AI tools.
We want our children free from this technological drug
