AI and Copyright: Implications for Art and Animation

This episode features a discussion of the great debate that is front and center now about OpenAI's new image generator, and how it's being widely used by users around the world to create anime art based on the "style" of famed anime artist Hayao MIyazaki. Many creative artists find what OpenAI is enabling to be infringing Miyazaki's works. But OpenAI and Silicon Valley in general pushes back by saying that an artist's "style" is not copyrightable. 

The discussion is based on Peter's most recent article about the subject, where he lays out precisely why OpenAI's actions here can, indeed, be copyright infringement for two separate reasons. It's a fascinating discussion that Peter approved as being faithful to his article - and to his perspectives.
