If I do my impression of Elvis singing the national anthem what copyrights have I violated?
Drake’s AI clone is here — and Drake might not be able to stop him
Major record labels are going after AI-generated songs, arguing copyright infringement. Legal experts say the approach is far from straightforward.
… The problem with going down the copyright path to remove songs like “Heart on My Sleeve” and “Winter’s Cold” is that the tracks aren’t copying anything concretely protected by the law. Both songs appear to be written by a human who isn’t Drake and fed into voice cloning software, so the compositions are new, original works. An artist’s voice, style, or flow is not protected by copyright (for the most part). If an up-and-coming artist wrote their own lyrics, made a simple beat, recorded the vocals and put it through The Weeknd machine, there’s no individual existing work that’s being copied. Promoting the new track as a song by The Weeknd would get dicey, but that would be closer to a trademark issue rather than copyright.
Luddites or leaders? Will this become common as AI moves into the workplace?

Hollywood writers demanding studios regulate AI so it doesn’t steal their jobs
… As part of current negotiations between the Writers Guild of America and the major TV and film studios they are demanding better pay and regulation on how AI is used so tech like ChatGPT, Bing and Bard doesn’t eventually take over.

Prompt Engineer
Forbes: “A new career is emerging with the spread of generative AI applications like ChatGPT: prompt engineering, the art (not science) of crafting effective instructions for AI models. “In ten years, half of the world’s jobs will be in prompt engineering,” declared Robin Li, cofounder and CEO of Chinese AI giant, Baidu. “And those who cannot write prompts will be obsolete.” That may be a bit of big tech hyperbole, but there’s no doubt that prompt engineers will become the wizards of the AI world, coaxing and guiding AI models into generating content that is not only relevant but also coherent and consistent with the desired output. So, what exactly is prompt engineering? Getting generative AI to do what you want is no easy task, as anyone who has tried image generation systems like Dalle-E or MidJourney or language models like ChatGPT. While successful creations are dazzling, an untrained user’s results are likely to be deeply flawed or, with ChatGPT, even wrong. The same is true for AI code-writing generators…”

Beginner’s guide to extracting data from PDFs
Media Hack, Laura Grant: “Journalists get lots of data in PDF format — they can be tables of data that are embedded in reports or spreadsheets that have been thoughtfully saved as PDFs before they’re emailed to you — but until you can get that data into a spreadsheet, there’s not much you can do with it. , there are a few great tools that can liberate your data quickly and relatively easily. I’ve listed some of the ones that I’ve used most often here, but there are no doubt loads more out there.”
