Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis 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. Sign up for the companion "the brAIn" newsletter via this link .

1 AI Search: A "Code Red" for All Websites (96% Less Referrals!) 11:57

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHost Peter Csathy's "synthetic" co-hosts discuss a sobering reality that faces all websites (not just media publishers and entertainment companies). For general purpose search, consumers increasingly turn to conversational AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude — as well as to more utilitarian AI search engines like Perplexity — instead of traditional Google and Bing search. This new AI search reality poses a "Code Red" for traditional search. But it also poses a very real “Code Red” (perhaps even existential) threat for most websites in general and the advertisers that support them. That means all news, media and entertainment companies, of course. But it goes much deeper than that — to anyone and any business that is dependent on advertising and ad-driven traffic. This episode discusses it all, including the new data from TollBit that is the basis for these conclusions. Peter generated this podcast based on his most recent newsletter using Google NotebookLM (and he listened to, and approved, this episode as being consistent with his discussion, helpful, and engaging).

Csathy's article lays out both sides of the argument - those who say it is possible (and must be done via content licensing), and those who simply believe it's too daunting and too hard (whom Csathy calls "Fair Use Accelerationists"). Csathy spoke with several leading experts to give their perspectives. It's an episode that covers all the related issues - and is entertaining at the same time.

This discussion focuses on host Peter Csathy's latest feature article of the same name, which explores whether AI can ever create truly "original" and groundbreaking Art without humans controlling it as a tool to their own human creation. The discussion focuses on what uniquely makes human "creation" divine and unmatchable by AI content generation. Csathy argues that left to its own devices, AI generated works will always lead to the mediocre and mundane. The discussion also focuses on AI as a tool to expand creative possibilities - but not to overtake humans at the forefront of the creative process. Csathy generated this discussion using Google NotebookLM, which synthesized his article in line with his parameters.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHost Peter Csathy recently was a featured speaker at ThinkLA’s big AI-focused event (ThinkLA serves marketing and media executives). Peter invited CEO Eric Shamlin of production company Secret Level to join him. Shamlin and his team created the iconic AI-generated “Holidays Are Coming” Coke ad that became THE marketing story this past December. In this exclusive “fireside chat,” Peter and Eric discuss the story behind it all — i.e., how Shamlin and his team conceptualized and executed it — and how consumers and the creative community reacted to it. Suffice it to say that while consumers reacted overwhelmingly positively ( the ad was a smash hit ), not everyone in the creative community felt the same. According to AdWeek , the ad “went from praise to rage … signaling a wider industry dilemma.” It’s a fascinating discussion that was extremely well-received, enlightening, and entertaining.

1 How Courts Will Assess Damages In Generative AI Copyright Cases 13:27
13:27 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked13:27
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode, based on Peter Csathy's article of the same name, Peter's "synth" hosts discuss the central issue of remedies and damages for winning rights-holders in generative AI copyright cases -- and, relatedly, how the courts will even begin to assess monetary damages in a world where the relevant “harm” caused by an entire internet’s worth of unlicensed scraping has already been done (and can’t be undone unless existing LLMs are scrapped and AI training starts anew with licensed content only). Theoretical damage awards under copyright and related laws are downright astronomical. The discussion flows from the court's recent rejection of “fair use” in the now notorious Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence case — where it ruled that the scraping of copyrighted works without consent and compensation is infringement (not a defensible “fair use”) as a matter of law .

This episode is a discussion of host Peter Csathy's new article titled, "Court Rejects AI's Fair Use: Now What?" (generated using Google NotebookLM). Csathy's article discusses all the issues raised by (and ramifications of) Judge Stephen Bibas's recent game-changing rejection of "fair use" as a defense to unlicensed AI scraping in the Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence case: (1) now what will generative AI companies do (how will they act)?, (2) how would courts even begin to assess damages in this "horse is already out of the barn" scenario where the entire internet has already been scraped, (3) how would the Supreme Court rule when that AI training "fair use" issue inevitably reaches them?, and (4) would Congress itself create a new "fair use" exception to permit unlimited unlicensed AI training on copyrighted works (especially in the face of the new co-sheriffs in town, President Trump and Elon Musk)? Csathy approves the contents of this episode, and believes it is an accurate reflection of the issues (and his overall analysis). BUT there is one part of the discussion near the end of the episode that focuses on training on "synthetic data" - and Csathy strongly disagrees on that point.
