Copyright?

[its4ufrumee]

Just wondered if it was OK to copy information from AI.  I have an old antique bottle that I can't find any information on ....except AI on Google gives some information that I would like to pass on to my customers thru my auction.  Is that OK to do?

Can't tell you it is OK to do but I'd use it. 😁

You are absolutely fine with that. However realize that the AI might be totally wrong. I have had google's AI give me complete fiction about an item that changed completely if I even slightly changed the phrasing of the question. 

In fact I have an unidentified plush that google keeps insisting is various characters that don't exist.  As in it will insist is is character "Bob" from "Rumpus Rangers" except that Rumpus Rangers doesn't have a character called Bob.

Thanks I appreciate the help.

Yes....we have noticed that.  By just changing a word....it sometimes comes up with a totally different situation!  thanks for your information...I appreciate it.

You can simply indicate that the info about item xyz was found on internet but you can’t guarantee 100% that information is correct…

I don't recommend that at all, If you can not verify correct information, Do not use it!

I've never understood why somebody would say, "The information I've provided about my item may not be accurate."  Why not just say, "You may or may not be buying what you or I think this might be.  Please don't file an INAD just because I used wildly inaccurate AI-generated blather."

AI is computer generated although for antiques it may be better to investigate your item on your own especially if it is a one of kind.

There's no copyright on AI - it's just regurgitated slop. Some may be right, some may be wrong

I looked up the fiber content of plums. I was told adults can eat 1 to 2 a day and children should eat less......about  2 to 3. 

Trust AI  hahahha.

I'd be leery of using the information given to you by Google AI. I'd use what it tells you as a starting point for you own research. If the AI information is wrong, you can be hit with an INAD and get socked paying for shipping both ways (for a large glass bottle, you could be looking at the 2-3 pound GA rate.)

Antique bottles can be a pain to identify, especially more obscure ones, even with a brand or maker mark on it. Sunk many hours trying to identify a handful of bottles recently, many near matches but not an exact one.

AI is not all it's cracked up to be.  It's full of erroneous and often outdated material.  I don't recommend using it for this reason.   You have zero chance of being sued for plagiarism by a computer.  They are not currently recognized by the court system.

I'm shocked none of Dr. Google's patients have sued him for malpractice. 

[simply-the-best-for-you]

Sure you can use it.  There are entire fake AI bands, putting out 12 albums a year (looking at you Devil Inside), but the odds of AI being correct are about 50/50.  It's really good at some things & terrible at others.   Do NOT include it unless you know it's correct.

Much AI blather is a copyright violation of some uncredited source. Proceed with caution, you do not know who might sue you.

Much of the AI answers I find to fill holes in my knowledge of things I have decent understanding of are WRONG. I know enough about the subjects to know the AI rarely finds anything that is truly arcane or obscure.
