Do you think nintendo is going to sue A.I. art programs?
Its no secret that youtubers are using A.I. generated art of mario to create thumbnails for their anti-nintendo videos.

Examples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0R323Pljsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSxlwuLdSDo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAlhOEHkPwk

I've heard both Disney and Universal are already trying legal action on ai generation.

Can be sure they'll try. If they could trademark throwing a ball as a gameplay mechanic, they'll sue anyone for nothing.
Yes they can yet can they realistically stop it? No.
AI isn't art. It's the opposite of art. Stop using this term. It's AI slop.

Mark as answer
Yes.

They'll make their own AI slop program, patent it as a game mechanic, and use that to sue anyone who makes nintendo AI slop.
There was some poster art in that new Mario Kart that looked very AI-ish

Art can be many things. Including AI

art is subjective, so actually it is..

last time i checked, you don't get to determine what is defined as art nor do you have the ability to change it's definition.

kicking someones ass is considered an art in this day. A martial art, but an art none the less.

If a beat down is art, than so is AI.

Art requires human creativity, it isn't a synonym for beautiful. A quasar 10 billion light years away looks stunning, but it isn't art. Sunrise looks beautiful, it isn't art.

AI drawing for example might be considered art, if an artist instructs it to place pixels one by one, so it matches the vision in the mind. However, at that point it's a pencil with extra steps, not AI.

If I tell AI to draw an elephant, it isn't art, even if it looks cool and has nice colors, as neither I nor the AI can envision the end product, before it's created. It just takes data of a bazillion of elephants stolen from other artists, and blends them into a chunk of data.

Point is, art isn't the art piece, it's the "vision" in the mind, which exists before it's being drawn, sung, built etc. for the very first time. AI has no mind, no vision. It cannot ever create art.

Stopped reading here.
AI is an amalgamation of human creativity and the end result of the creativity of countless programmers and visionaries.
it also requires creativity from the user input.
You just want to define creativity and gatekeep it for your own purposes.

I've heard people at nintendo talk about using ai. Given everything else, I wouldn't doubt them one day using it.

Heck nintendo will probably start suing the very ai program it uses. And if it wins the lawsuit, make nintendo owning the ai as part of the settlement.

Plagiarism isn't creativity/art. Image generative models are just tracing/photobashing done on an unfathomably larger scale.

When I hire a fiver artist to draw me something. My "user input" doesn't mean I created art. The commissioner isn't the artist. Never has been.

Wow, the second video here even has the dude trying to scam people into buying his crypto coin. AI users being scammers? Not again, for the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th time! I'm starting to notice a trend.

Bull.

Besides, the AI needs humans to tell it what to make, so your logic is still defeated anyways.

The future is here, and will not go away.
Throughout history, many weak men have rallied against the future, afraid of the unknown. Afraid to be wrong.
While wise men have pushed ahead, pushing science and learning, developing better medicines and improving lives, even as others scoff at their efforts.

(Besides, people are calling art... some bimbo duct-taping a banana to a wall. A freaking Kindergartener can do art better than that!)
----

Besides, you look around and see times where even emergent technology can even outdo so-called artists.

Heck, a video of AI doing Star Wars better than Disney can:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRE10jSTzWA

(Admittedly, while the video and voices are AI, the script itself was taken from the Darth Plagueis novel. So, still qualifies as art by your earlier logic.
Also, they are right, Daniel Davis would have been amazing as the voice of Plagueis)
