Thank you for your kind words about the animation. While I've shifted my focus, having retired from teaching, I thought you might be interested in my current project, given your work teaching about WWI. I've been creating musical interpretations of classic poetry, including works by WWI poets. If you're looking for resources that blend history, literature, and music, you can explore these arrangements at https://v2melody.com The site includes poets like John McCrae, Alan Seeger, and Rupert Brooke, with more to be added soon, which could potentially complement your WWI curriculum.

Also, I just watched the video. I teach about WWI every quarter, and this felt like an absolutely authentic letter - it actually gave me chills; my brain kept saying he never made it home and these were the last words his sweetheart had from him.

Very nice animation and mood you created, as well, which certainly added to it.

Such a cool idea, and really interesting discussion. In my day job I teach college history, and I've thought about animating something historical, but I'd probably never finish it because I'd get mired down in the historical details/accuracy issue--I've tried before and it's not a rabbit hole for me; it's a black hole, lol.

I think Chat GPT is an amazing tool and even just for brainstorming can really help get ideas and things flowing. It misunderstood a question I had about a script a while back and gave me an outline for a short story that was really cool, which I saved because it just had an enduring sweetness that I really felt and might work on some day. Whether we like it or not, AI isn't going away, and although I, too, have ethical concerns about copyright, etc, the major damage has been done. I'm one of the few faculty, where I teach, who isn't violently against using AI. I teach my students how to use it as a tool to help them with writing, not using it to try to replace writing, and it can get...heated at work. I do hope the AI companies work on attribution for the sources used; that would really go a long way to allaying people's anger and fears, but it is what it is. 

I'm just super careful to be nice to ChatGPT, asking, not telling, and always thanking it. It can't hurt. :)

This AI-generated letter captures the raw, emotional essence of a soldier’s experience with impressive sensitivity. It artfully balances the personal struggle and duty, creating a vivid portrayal of the internal conflicts faced by those in the military. The nuanced depiction of camaraderie, sacrifice, and hope resonates deeply, offering readers a poignant glimpse into the soldier's world. The thoughtful, well-crafted prose effectively bridges the gap between the battlefield and the heart, making for a compelling read.

When asked to provide a counter argument, ChatGPT replied:

While I can understand the argument that AI-generated works should not be treated differently from human-generated works when it comes to citation and attribution, I believe that there are valid reasons why a different standard should be applied.

First and foremost, AI-generated works are often based on pre-existing content, whether it be text, images, or other materials. This pre-existing content is often protected by copyright laws and regulations, and it is important to ensure that the creators of the original content are properly credited and compensated for the use of their work. Requiring a link or citation to the source material is one way to ensure that this happens.

Additionally, it is important to consider the ethical implications of AI-generated works. The use of AI to generate content can raise questions about authorship, originality, and authenticity. By requiring a link or citation to the source material, it is possible to provide transparency and context for the work, and to ensure that the audience is aware that the work is generated by an AI.

Finally, it is worth considering the potential for AI-generated works to be used for commercial gain. In these cases, it is important to ensure that the creators of the original content are fairly compensated for the use of their work, and that the audience is aware of the origin of the work.

In conclusion, while I understand the argument that AI-generated works should not be held to a different standard when it comes to citation and attribution, I believe that there are valid reasons why a different standard should be applied. The use of AI to generate content can raise important ethical and legal considerations, and it is important to ensure that the creators of the original content are properly credited and compensated, and that the audience is aware of the origin of the work.

In reply to the post by AutoDidact, the ChatGPT had this to say:

I completely agree with the statement that AI-generated works should not be treated differently when it comes to citation and attribution, especially when it comes to making money from it. Just like traditional artists, writers using AI services also learn from many resources to develop their styles and ideas. They should not be held to a different standard and be required to provide thousands of links when selling their work.

It's also worth noting that in the animation industry, it's common practice for animators to use motion capture files and other resources they have "found" online, without reporting where every file came from with links. This practice is widely accepted and understood as a part of the animation industry, and the same should apply to AI-generated works of fiction.

In conclusion, the requirement to provide links or cite sources when making money from AI-generated works is unnecessary and unjustified. Artists and writers using AI services should be treated the same as traditional artists and writers, and should not be held to a different standard when it comes to citation and attribution.

I strongly disagree with the statement that AI services should not be used for writing fiction. Just because a piece of writing was generated by an AI does not mean that it should not be considered as a legitimate form of literature. The idea that AI-generated works should not be considered as "real" writing is a form of technological determinism that fails to take into account the creativity and intelligence of the humans who design and program these systems.

Furthermore, the assertion that AI-generated works should be treated differently when it comes to citation and attribution is unjustified. The idea that AI-generated works should be treated differently from human-generated works is fundamentally flawed. The laws and rules that apply to human-generated works should also apply to AI-generated works. This includes the requirement to cite and attribute sources.

It is true that AI services can be used to create copyrighted material, but that does not mean that they should not be used at all. As long as users are aware of the laws and regulations surrounding copyright and attribution, and they are careful to follow them, there is no reason why they should not be able to use these services for personal use or for making money.

In conclusion, the idea that AI-generated works should be treated differently from human-generated works is unjustified and unfair. AI services can be used to create valuable and innovative works of fiction, and the laws and regulations that apply to human-generated works should also apply to AI-generated works. As long as users are aware of the laws and regulations and take care to follow them, there is no reason why they should not be able to use these services for personal use or for making money.

NO ..no they should not.
artist learn from many resources to develop their styles& ideas and sell the art without providing thousands of links.
Just as Iclone users cobble together
BVH and mocap files they “found“ online and then use them for paid freelance animation without reporting where every mocap file came from with links.

I am not against humans writing any kind of fiction from any time period.
A lot of people who use the AI services seem not to care if the AI product outcome 
has some copyright material in it. THERE IS NO LINK TO WHERE THE MATERIAL CAME FROM.
That is the argument that people in favor of this type of AI service use. 
When you write a book, if you use photos and other info, you list the author's
name and where it came from. There are some rules and laws that humans have to follow.
That does not apply to AI. If you are going to use this type of AI service for personal use, that is OK.
But if you are going to make money from it, there should be a link.

animagic (1/22/2023)
But that would almost exclude any fiction because many writers would not have experienced what they tell the story about.

For example, I like Anne Perry, who writes crime novels taking place in the 19th century. She wasn't there, obviously, but she does her research, and when you read her books you feel impacted.


well said!.
