Except all those artists’ art being used without their consent to train these models that subvert the exclusivity of their style, or obviate their work altogether. It ingests their literal effort and eliminates other humans’ need to put forth a similar level of effort.
I’m all for cool new tools, but this is very much like the invention of digital sampling, and models should be required to “clear” all the works that they “sample” for training.
- bawolff 4y agoHow precisely were those artists trained in the first place? Did they get consent from the artist of every painting they ever studied?
- squidsoup 4y agoThere's a difference between studying a work of art, and literally ingesting that work of art for training. A study is always an interpretation.
- stale2002 4y ago> Except all those artists’ art being used without their consent to train these models As someone just brought up previously, though, there are other AI art models that don't use other people's work without permission. For example, the new adobe ai stuff is done this way. And yet people will refuse to concede the argument at that point, and still think it is bad.
