one step at a time, moodboards used to be painted, sometimes photosourced. now the painting part might be gone.it's not like, just because you are no concept artist, it doesnt effect you or might not sooner or later.there are companies and products known for cheap labour, their current artists get tasked with cleaning up…
I totally agree that the data created from training should be considered exactly the same as directly copying images and applying a filter to them in photoshop. You are still deriving a product from the original work, doesn't matter how convoluted the process is. The fair use doctrine needs to be updated to account for…
@Tiles Okay. Noting this is a game art forum, I think it's safe to assume a large majority of the members in the discussion here understand that Photoshop, Maya, Zbrush, etc. are graphics software. I think what's central to the topic is the impact of AI's standout feature of rapidly converting text prompts into images.
Well there are basically two layers to this : at the lowest level, there are the billions of images and artists (+ all the relevant metadata) that got scraped and potentially given some so-called "aesthetic rating" in Laion5B - all done and used without consent. A simply query through HaveIBeenTrained using any random…
I've been seeing this sort of thing a lot; person shares objectively cool image, gets a compliment, doesn't mention it was AI. A lot of "I made" "I did" "my" language. I understand liking AI art, but at least be up front about it. He just calls it "digital art".
I appreciate that Verge article, Tiles. It's a good read. Although I found it odd that while they talk about the amount of "human input" as a key criteria for copyright for images that ai spits out...It completely skips over that same criteria in the following section about the input side/training data. I sort of wished…
It mentions in its FAQs That all it is, is a url repository of the source. That a "researcher" needs to download the data set for use, and then the copyright of that data set would apply since they aren't an image hosting service. By wording it this way they have absolutely limited their accountability to usage of the…
Many people supporting AI art really are clueless. Instant gratification is all there is here. Though I can see it being used for some meaningful work, its just where the images were sourced from makes it disturbing to use. That and the endless saturation, any iota or creativity even in the prompts is totally lost on me.
aprats91 sed: In my opinion, for these technologies to be truly useful for us, they need to give us total control over the outcome, and this is impossible to achieve just by writing prompts. Yep it's been done: If you go to youtube you will find tutorials that show you pieces of software you can use to pose a figure. Very…
Well, for me it is simply a tool like Photoshop :) You still underestimate the effort to create something really good looking with AI. It is not enough to type in a few words. You still, and even more than in traditional art, need the artistic skills and knowledge to steer the AI where you want it to be. Else it will go…
