Anyone with a story to tell (and no time to tell it)
But wait, there's drama! 🍿
Dream Machine's debut came with a side of controversy. Their promo video "Monster Camp" featured characters that looked suspiciously like Disney's "Monsters, Inc." crew. Oops!
Luma's CEO, Amit Jain, quickly set the record straight. In an email to The Verge, he stated:
"[The system] didn't generate the characters" on its own. The video "was created from a user uploaded image that contains the visuals," which Luma's AI model then animated.
Jain added that Luma uses "industry standard programmatic methods" to moderate content and that "uploading copyrighted content is against our Terms of Service."
This monster-sized mishap raised some hairy questions:
How transparent is Luma about their AI's training data?
Is it too easy for users to accidentally (or intentionally) infringe on copyrights?
Are we heading for an AI plagiarism pandemic?
