AI art is completely ripping off actual artists to build their learning datasets. They're datasets are full of copyrighted work but until now no one cares much about visual artists. Take a look at the statements for AI music generation and you'll see they're very careful to state they use non-copyrighted, royalty free source tracks. No such thing for artists
Beware the industry pushing AI art forwards, it's not at all an industry built for artists. You'll see "it's a tool for artists" or "it'll happen regardless" or "it won't get that good" or "it's useful for generating references/ideas," etc. Tell me what's the business model here?
They create non-profits to source the datasets to then pass to their for-profit parent company. I hope the class actions come quickly enough.
- CuriouslyC 4y agoTell me you're a neo-luddite without saying it... "ripping off" The statement about non-copyrighted sources is because Google is majorly bad PR/conflict averse, so they're trying to sidestep all the "They're stealing my soul, they took my job, herp derp" rabble rousing.
- headsoup 4y agoI don't understand what your argument here is? Don't fight technology because it's 'the future?'
