  • AI can absolutely produce copyrighted content if it’s prompted to. Name drop an artist in Midjourney and you will be able to prompt their style - see this list of artists and prompted images. So you can just tweak the settings a bit to heavily weight their name, generally describe the composition of the work you’re looking to approximate, and you can absolutely produce something close to their original works.

    The image is wrong because the original artwork is not stolen. It is part of a dataset by LAION (or another similar dataset, basically a text-image pair where the image is linked at its original source). To train the imagegen, its company had to download a temporary copy, which is exempt from infringement by copyright law. There is no original artwork somewhere in a database accessible by Midjourney, just the numerical relationship generated by the image-text pair it learned from.

    On the other hand, AI can obviously produce content in violation of copyright - like here. But that’s specifically being prompted by the user. You can see other examples of this with Grok generating Mickey Mouse and Simpsons characters. As of right now, copyright violations are the legal responsibility of the users generating the content - not the AI itself.



  • 2 hours after he left an Anesthesiologist I didn’t know came to check some PCAs, so me being me, started asking questions about the device and given that I’m thinking about studying medicine I asked about it and he told me where he studied, what he did afterwards, started showing me the documentation anesthesiologists use.

    Are you being considerate of the doctors’ time and attention? They have work to be doing. As in this example, he came in to check PCAs. Sometimes people can even volunteer information (like showing you the documentation anesthesiologists use), but maybe because they feel socially compelled in that moment to do so even when they should be on task.

    Another possibility - maybe your boss is trying to maintain cohesion between nurses. You seem to have a fairly low opinion of the other nurses. Separating yourself and trying to speak only with the doctors kinda demonstrates an intentional division with new co workers that is liable to lead to larger problems working together down the line. Maybe he expects you not to respect their judgment calls, or to put doctors in a tough position by saying, “doctor x told me we do things THIS way” when that process is all-but-on-paper owned by nurses.

    I know you’re viewing your situation as learning, trying to get smarter, intentional curiosity - but I don’t really think that’s the problem your boss has. Maybe if you accomplished this in a different way, he wouldn’t complain. Your boss definitely doesn’t want you to be dumb.
