I want to piggyback off what you’ve said, but for *additional* problems with this:

To me, this is terrifying. Major use-cases presented on this page:

  * photo editing / post-processing
  * branding
  * infographics
Photo editing and post-processing seems like the “least harmful” version of this. Doing moderate color-space tweaks or image extensions based on the images themselves seems like a “relatively not-evil” activity and will likely make a lot of artwork a bit nicer. The same technology will probably also be able to be used to upscale photos taken on Pixel cameras, which might be nice. MOSTLY. It’ll also call into question any super-duper-upscaled visuals when used as evidence for court and the “accuracy of photos as facts” - see the fake stuff Samsung did with the moon; but far, far more ubiquitous.

However, Branding and Infographics are where I have concerns.

Branding - it’s AI art, so it can’t be copyrighted, or are we just going to forget that?

—

Infographics, though. We know that AI frequently hallucinates - and even hallucinates citations themselves, so … how can we generated infographics if they’re magicking into existence the stats used in the infographics themselves?!

Copyright is done, for better or worse. Up until very recently, many if not most HN'ers would have considered that a GOOD thing.
