[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( CREAM OF THE CROP Yesterday, we opened nominations for the [Golden Kitty awards](, so go [nominate your favorite products]( today! Also in today’s Digest: The rise and rise of AI for [photos](, [videos,]( and [ads](. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [Are you team AI or team Authorship?]( Thanks to the explosion of AI image generators, there are a ton of new ways to get your paws on creative assets for a product launch or marketing campaign. [Synthesys X]( is a chrome extension that creates variations of existing images using AI, but it’s been stirring up debate in the [comments]( around what constitutes ‘Fair Use’ (i.e. should marketers have to get permission from the artists who created the original artwork?) Truthfully, it was only a matter of time before we started using generative art for commercial purposes. And, as with all the most exciting emerging technologies, ethical considerations are controversial and crucial. Advocates say that the art produced by AI is original and unique. It’s one of the key value props in marketing (imagine getting an image for free that no other company has — goodbye, stock photography). Opponents say this art is not actually original. You’ll find techies and artists on both sides of the argument. Text-to-image AIs like [AI Photo]( and [Memorable Ad Maker]( can be used to create ad imagery from a few simple word-based prompts, so these feel like safer bets, but still use what they learn from art on the internet to produce new art. Authorship advocates, makers, and creators are making moves towards self-regulating the proliferation of potentially copyright-infringing AI apps. Tools like [Originality]( and [Detect GPT]( are capable of identifying GPT-3 and ChatGPT-generated text content, for example, but for right now, spotting rights-violating AI-generated imagery doesn’t seem to be quite as straightforward. If recent history is any indicator, it’ll be a long while before regulators make a decision and catch up with innovators. When it comes to arguing AI vs. Authorship, what is your position? [Weigh in on the debate]( Sponsored By Being a founder is HARD. Finding product-market-fit is one of the toughest challenges that constantly poses questions like “Are people using my product? How are they using it? Are they returning to get value week over week?” When first starting out, Segment co-founders didn’t understand how important these questions were or how to use analytics to answer them. So they spent 1.5 years and 7 different MVPs in the pursuit of product-market-fit before finding the secret sauce. Segment helps you collect, clean, and act on your customer data. You can now build fast with a reliable, performant, and compliant stack.
