I've said this dozens of times before, but Deep Dream Generator (which is owned by Aifnet Ltd.) is my main engine. The skits use Runway ML, but also a significant amount of Adobe Premiere-based motion graphics to turn those loops into something effective. The Israel-Gaza stuff was Stable Diffusion. - I've been pretty open about which engines I use, but I don't see the need to label every image. DDG is very clear that I own the IP of those images.
And it's not like many people would mistake the recent satirical cartoons for something done by a human artist. The AI-ness is part of the effect, and adds that surreal touch. The Dakumentary title is Runway ML. - This is Deep Dream Generator's view, which is quite enlightened: 'It is permissible to utilize the resulting images for commercial purposes solely if said images were generated while the user was in possession of an active paid, monthly subscription plan.' - yep, and I pay because the pro version parses text better... those recent cartoons are only possible via their AI Vision tool. 'Deep Dream Generator does not claim ownership of any Content that you upload to the Service. Instead, you hereby grant to Deep Dream Generator a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free worldwide license to use the Content that you upload to the Service.' So, in essence, if RNZ or another media outlet wanted to pay me to make cartoons, they could and it would be nice and legal. Hit me up!
