RE: My opinion about AI art and a thought on society.

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I am a digital artist, my style is similar to the fantasy themes often mimicked by AI
I think it can become a tool for artists who actually know how to weave something unique and of their own, but right now people are claiming to be artists by the power of a click and I don't think that's entirely ethical, as it wasn't ethical it was fed millions of pictures of artists without their permission. If you create in the style of, and you know the art of that person, it regurgitates and almost but no quiet copy, maybe not a pixel per pixel but enough to be an obvious copycat. I'm against AI, no, you cannot stop progress, but it cannot be a free bar at the expense of creators, and its misuse by people to claim to have done manually what they haven't and so. Magazines are now flooded with short stories written by AI claiming to be humanly written and they had to close submissions due to the overwhelm.
Technology and progress is here and cannot be stopped, I'm not saying I'm entirely against its use, but the tools right now also provide ways of misuse and in order to move forward we need to stablish some rules.
Now there are software that can steal your likeness, softwares that even can still your voices, your style, your idiosyncrasy
and these very basic things needs to be addressed or it will carry a stain

I'm in entirely for people creating elements for their compositions, or to create video backgrounds and weave and create art out of it, but people selling a print of an AI claiming they're all of a sudden artists, that is NOT ethical. I've faced even now comments, like bad AI, for drawings taht have been published since 2011, do we digital artists need to validate now we actually put our hours in? How are we going to be paid a fair share for our time if an AI can generate a "similar if not quite the same" work in a minute.
So it's a double edged sword, it is and will become a tool
but we also need to sit down and triage the rights and wrongs of its practise which will be detrimental for all creators.

No one should post a picture made by AI and pretend that it was created by him - it's stupid and unfair. I don't even understand the point of such behaviour, he gains nothing for his personal esteem since he didn't really do anything.
But, it's probably for the money, like many things, money makes you stupid.
And I agree with you when you say that they shouldn't call themselves artists just for writing a prompt.

But I think you're wrong when you say that it's unethical for AI to have fed on the work of artists. In fact it is the principle of every artist to be inspired by the work of others.
Everyone has an artistic background from somewhere else, allowing them to do what they do. You wouldn't have the style you have if you hadn't seen the work of this or that artist before. That doesn't mean that you copy or plagiarise what he does.
The AI makes millions of attempts, it can produce a plagiarized image, as we can do inadvertently (sometimes we have the same original idea as someone else, and then good luck proving that you didn't do it on purpose...).
And I think in that case it's the user's responsibility to make sure it's not before sharing the image. (there are plenty of search engines for this, just Google for similar images)

Searching for an image similar to an artist's style can be very interesting for research, and combining it with other styles can create a new one, but it is clear that simply looking to copy an artist's style and using the resulting images as such is quite unfair to the artist in question.

Unfortunately, works such like digital artists are subject to the laws of the market, and that's why I discussed that we should change the labour system - but as it is, jobs move, sometimes this or that job is not profitable anymore.
Digital jobs are bound to be unstable, because they rely on the technology they use.
Moreover, digital artists have themselves taken a share of the market from traditional artists, who produced creations much more slowly, and with fewer resources.

Thanks for your comment, have a nice day :)
