# California Cranks Up The Heat On JSYK-You-Can’t-Just-Take-Stuff AI Companies
Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Well, it’s definitely not you, AI companies, who’ve been using copyrighted content as training data without permission. It seems like Big Brother – or should we say Big Government – has finally noticed your sneaky tactics. They are looking to blow your cover with a new bill introduced by California U.S Rep, Adam Schiff.
**Key Points:**
– Shorty Award nomination for ‘Best Drama’ goes to…the AI sector, as it witnesses escalating tensions over the use of copyrighted material in its operations.
– The script for today’s episode comes to us from California, where U.S House of Representative Adam Schiff has entered the ring with his own bill to tackle this issue.
– Unlike the romanticized AI versions we usually see in sci-fi movies, real-life AI companies might not be as perfect, especially when it comes to respecting others’ copyrighted material.
– Schiff’s bill could be the reality check these companies need – as it could force them to reveal if they’ve used copyrighted content in their training data sets. The next time you see an AI acting smart, remember to thank Adam!
– Terrifying people with its vague name, the proposed “Generative AI…” is poised to play the role of a tough new rule, if passed. Do remember, it’s the short form… So, brace yourselves!
**Final Thoughts**
Ladies and gents, it’s worth remembering that even in the exciting world of AI, no one is above the law. If this bill passes, those who’ve been playing fast and loose with copyrighted content might have to start operating in daylight instead of under the cloak of data sets. No more freebies, AI companies! As we wrap up today’s AI drama, let’s remember to take a moment for our fallen, misused copyrighted content. May they finally rest in peace in their rightful domains! Until the next episode folks!

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a realism style, the image would feature an AI robot, with pirate attributes like an eye patch and a tricorn hat, sitting at a wooden desk in an old-fashioned 18th-century ship cabin. The robot is scrutinizing a pile of parchments, symbolizing stolen content, under a dimly lit oil lamp. Out the ship’s porthole, the Golden Age of Pirates California seashore can be seen, bathed in the golden light of sunset. In the robot’s hand, a quill pen is paused above a pirate’s version of a copyright document. This image reflects the AI’s incursion into the world of piracy and copyright clampdown.
