Nullbudge’s website also states that its hacking acts like the Disney hack aren’t out of “malice” but to “punish those caught stealing.” This is referencing the fact that AI models are trained on existing text, images, video, etc that it uses to learn and create content. In that sense, AI-generated content could be viewed as a form of stealing or plagiarism, as it uses the existing work of artists.
It remains to be seen if Nullbudge is truly behind the Disney hack as the company continues to investigate the leaks. Meanwhile, companies like Disney and other major entities are sure to continue to face scrutiny from artists and the public regarding the use of AI. As AI continues to become more accessible, the controversy over the technology isn’t going to stop anytime soon.
