God I hate copyright law, because that's what this boils down to Any company can just claim "hey actually that's mine" and based on how copyright law is, it's up to the defendant to prove they aren't guilty not up to the prosecutor to prove they are It's litterally guilty until proven innocent, because if the domain registry ignored the copyright notice, funko could have brought it to court where itch should have to prove they own the domain God copyright law sucks
That's not even remotely how copyright law works. That's how bad faith actors like the domain registry act, but that's not law. RUclips is also a bad faith actor and will take down videos based on specious claims, but they're not following any law. Copyrights last for far too long, but that's a completely separate issue. Spreading FUD, like you're doing here, is basically giving the bad faith actors leave to do as they wish because if the plebs don't know how the law really works, then no one will challenge it when these PoS's misuse it.
This style of "AI", doesn't follow a predefined set of rules. It's a Large Language Model, you feed it data and 'hope' it actually creates a set of rules without any flaws or hallucinations. Using a LLM to file domain takedown notices is already insane, but applying it to subdomains is even more dumb. Clearly someone created a game called 'funkopop' and itch created a subdomain for that game with the same name. At no point did this crappy AI look at the parent domain, and see what kind of site it is. Nor was an actual human being assigned to sanity check this AI, 'work'. Personally I hope Itch and their domain host take legal action against "Brand Guardian", for fraudulent domain reports.
In a perfect world, they should be able to sue and win. Nobody should every let AI be responsible for anything in this manner. The sooner we take people to task for this kind of reckless use of AI, the better.
@@gardiner_bryant this could have been said forever though AI in video games is just a set of instructions and calls that NPCs follow that changes dynamically depending on the situation AI has always been a buzz word, that's not new
@@gardiner_bryant Comp-sci students can tell you that's not an entirely accurate assessment of the field either unless we're specifically addressing the idea of AGI. But you are correct that *most* things *marketing* themselves as "AI" right now are LLMs with a handful of subsystems around it to try to make them more fit-for-purpose.
@@gardiner_bryant yes, but its confusing most of the people who are not educated in the subject. That is what I'm getting miffed about. Blowing it up more than what it should be.
They’ve had that for awhile. They mostly use it on black people. Given the skin color of the first CEO assassin in awhile was white… And how the rich basically own the police…..
This was well done, as a musician I agree. I also feel AI is taking over, we get bogus copyright claims because a snare sounded similar, then it's the smaller artist that usually loses. Sad day for creators when larger brands can just delete you.
Our company publishes software, and we have to deal with this kind of nonsense. From time-to-time, some company somewhere will falsely classify our software as "malicious." They publish these claims because some automated tools observe behavior the tools consider suspect. The behavior is precisely what it's supposed to be. The worst of the offenders are antivirus companies who spent absolutely no time with a human hands-on the software to make this global, false declaration about our products. IMO, this is just straight-up defamation. I don't think these companies should be able to hide behind the excuse of "that's what the tools said."
So now you can get your website taken down because some AI bot has hallucinated... Bogus claims such as this can easily cause a lot of financial damage to someone, not to mention bad PR. Letting an AI bot file abuse reports without any supervision is a recipe for disaster. Itch could very much sue Funko for this.
I think the point you make at the end is an important one. Algorithms that control these sorts of things should be simple, not because we can’t do better, but because rules and laws should be simple. Good luck making that happen though. The AI powering is just the tip of this iceberg…
People are going to immediately blame AI and I'm going to *once again* emphasize that the user of a tool takes responsibility for it. Someone uses a pencil to write something obscene? You hold the writer accountable, not the pencil maker. Somebody uses RUclips to upload something extremely illegal? You hold the uploaded accountable, not the entire service. Somebody makes an "AI" neural network algorithm and uses it to mass attack other businesses without verifying what those things are at all? You hold the people who used/activated the tool responsible. And if lawyers weren't grossly overpriced, I'm darn sure Funko could be hit with a good few thousands in damages over this. But not like, tens of thousands like Lawyers eat for breakfast.
I think there should be a fine for both Funko and the domain registry for this nonsense and any "AI" software being used to flag violations should be banned. That kind of automation is highly prone to inaccuracies and it shouldn't even be used.
Is AI helpful for autocomplete kind of but anything else I would not trust AI to do, its sad because AI can be a helpful tool in learning but people keep trying to get it to do more instead of using it as a learning tool
I hate Funko even more now
If AI were in Stanislav Petrov's place, there would probably be no life on Earth right now.

Why the hell would you even use an LLM to handle such a dispute?
I'd love to see it land them in some hot water legally for relying on it.
I feel like this is how RUclips works, they rely on the AI and don't even have humans double check. @@MasterBroNetwork
Cant wait to hear Null talk about this, he's been screaming into the void about domain registrars for years with not even an echo of response.
I think you know how much I hate Funko Pops but man they're ugly as sin. I have no idea how they're as popular as they are.
What’s worse are grown men that LOVE Funko Pops. Freaking weird.

I'm getting tired in how "A.I." keeps getting thrown around when most is not true A.I. but pseudo A.I.(like NPC's in a video game).

An AI cop might actually be more partial since they would be based on logic and reasoning, unlike the emotion driven cops we have now.
@@Eyevou Not with the current state of AI.
LLM are too much data driven.
And I don't believe a machine always does a better job than a human.
@@0Sybylle0 Did I say "the current state of AI"? I'm talking RoboCop.
@@Eyevou The T100 from Terminator would be more appropriate then, as Robocop is a Cyborg, not an AI.
