Artist is dominating AI-generated art, and he’s not happy about it
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoIf you trademark a name in the area of art, can you then keep companies from allowing that name to be used in AI generation of art. I would think yes.
- cloudking 4y agoWhat if the model is already open sourced and out in the wild? It appears that Stable Diffusion included this artist's work in it's training data.
- isitmadeofglass 4y agoNo, imagine if that was what a trademark allowed you to do, to disallow usage of that word altogether. Apple would be able to force shops everywhere to pay them or stop advertising the sale of Apples. Everytime anyone sat down to write a review of a product in Word they would first need Microsoft to negotiate a deal with the company in order for them to support the product names.
- origin_path 4y agoIt does sometimes have that effect in practice. You can't use the word "macOS" in Google ads without triggering a takedown because it's an apple trademark.
- webmaven 4y agoThere probably is a case to be made for at least prohibiting the use of phrases like "a painting by $ARTIST" as a trademark violation (particularly if it is a registered trademark) since what is produced is not, actually, a work by the artist named, but that would still permit the use of prompts like "a painting in the style of $ARTIST". Even if you could prohibit the use of an artist's name entirely, that wouldn't eliminate the use of their actual style per-se, users would just have to refer to it some other way, such as using a prompt like "dark necrofetishist biomechanoid style" instead of "in the style of H. R. Giger".
