The right to train models on copyrighted data has yet to be determined.

Maybe they bought a Crunchyroll subscription. It's how a lot of people get trained on anime.

China doesn't know what you're talking about.

Not like chatgtp and sora which as all we all known are fully trained in public licensed content free of copyright.

    Exactly, that's why they aren't able to replicate the Studio Ghibli style.

      They are, and that's what's sad about it. Studio Ghibli is not getting paid, and would never have consented to this even if they were offered.

There are very few models out there that are not trained on data protected by copyright. So nothing new for the past 3 years

"animated video generation model presented by Bilibili."

You understand that china has "different" view on copyright,license etc right??

  • yorwba 20 hours ago

    Not that different. Bilibili is a big, above-board video streaming service; they definitely have distribution rights to a large collection of anime content. (They also have YouTube-style user uploads where proper licensing is less likely.)

    It's the equivalent of Crunchyroll putting out a video generation model. If the rightsholders disagree with this usage, it'll come up during the negotiations for new releases.

      how can you prove then??? its literally the same way OpenAI use Ghibli material and they can't do anything about it

      • yorwba 17 hours ago

        OpenAI doesn't have an existing business based on licensing Studio Ghibli content, so the only option Studio Ghibli has to stop them is to sue them and hope that OpenAI is found to have infringed their copyright.

        Bilibili does have an existing business based on licensing Studio Ghibli content, so Studio Ghibli can threaten to refuse to sell them distribution rights for future releases, even without a lawsuit.

    Do you think all that all the big guys just asked people while training their models?

    Really? We've all seen the stories on how Meta sourced book content from Anna's Archive and still you try to claim things are different in China?

    • tonyhart7 18 hours ago

      so we playing whataboutism now?? huh

      then tell me what chinnese government stance on this matters, because I can tell that Meta doing is illegal but I cant say the same with chinnese company doing it on mainland china
