This is yet another article that misses the point, which that these art generators create images from stolen copyrighted art on the web.
None of the winning piece belonged to the winner!
- Kiro 4y agoIf you think everyone is consistently missing the point, then maybe your point is not what people actually care about.
- qu4z-2 4y agoI mean, that's just tautological, kinda.
- mandmandam 4y agoTo be fair, many people are missing many points on this issue. People miss that the tech is here, and it's not going away. We've open sourced it already. It's burgeoning at a wild speed. Most people seem to miss that this artist was entirely honest about his use of AI assistance. Many are missing the point that this was a casual art competition; a state fair. There wasn't a huge prize at stake. Many are missing the fact that there was undeniably artistry in the methods used, including weeks of work, touch ups with Photoshop, etc. I doubt that one in 100 people could get a work like this from MidJourney even given a week of unlimited research and experimentation. People don't care about these issues. It's ignorance. Trying to have a fruitful discussion on this stuff when basic facts are left by the wayside is like trying to drink water with a fork.
- NicoleJO 4y agoI inadvertently excluded the news, which has thus far been smart enough to address the issue.
- yreg 4y agoCreating derivative works, getting inspired and stealing styles and ideas is a cornerstone of art, present throughout all of its history.
