I think there's some King Vitamin mutation in the bowl as well! (Does anyone remember King Vitamin? Now THERE was a....mascot.)
Yeah, I'm very happy to have a bot concerned for instance that the images "may contain errors, distortions, or artifacts that could affect the quality of your product or service." I suppose maybe being sued for trademark violation might affect the quality of my product or service?
One would suppose (and hope?). OpenAI promised a couple months ago to cover business-tier users from infringement claims, but this is not that: this is the OpenAI-enabled free service/partnership. Microsoft's terms of service for Bing/Copilot are harder to nail down--and it doesn't help that they constantly change the names of the components of these services.
And another note: the UK has decided NOT to give a blanket exemption to AI developers for copyright: "We recommend that the Government does not pursue plans for a broad text and data mining exemption to copyright. Instead, the Government should proactively support small AI developers in particular, who may find difficulties in acquiring licences, by reviewing how licensing schemes can be introduced for technical material and how mutually-beneficial arrangements can be struck with rights management organisations and creative industries trade bodies. The Government should support the continuance of a strong copyright regime in the UK and be clear that licences are required to use copyrighted content in AI. In line with our previous work, this Committee also believes that the Government should act to ensure that creators are well rewarded in the copyright regime. (Paragraph 31)" The full report is here. It is something! https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/42766/documents/212749/default/
To be fair, Toni appears to be hawking Froot Loops.
Also useful that bots are sensitive to things that might trigger your theoretical cornflake chompers.

Also? I was today years old when I noticed that King Vitamin is/was actually King VITAMAN.
Nicely done, Kathryn. Insofar as the work is Bing's, and it in fact infringes, then I suppose Bing is liable?
