Seems kind of shady imo. I know businesses is businesses but that's seems a bit too mean for my tastes.

- throwuxiytayq 3y agoCare to expand? I have no idea what you’re on about.
- rahkiin 3y agoThis could have been all with consent and adjusted payments. AI does not just replace an artist, it can also speed up the work tremendously. It gives new possibilities using volume.
- rcxdude 3y agoEthics of the use of generative AI in the first place aside, I'm pretty sure the illustrator was aware of what they were intending to do with their work (they even were interviewed about it in the behind the scenes video)
- __loam 3y agoI view this in the same way I view the use of an actor's voice for ai generations. Even if the person knows what you're doing with their data, it still feels really scummy and unethical. The idea that we can sample someone else's labor and be able to own that and generate shit from it in perpetuity (probably without paying them) feels very alienating.
- rcxdude 3y agoLike being employed to write some code which then is owned by someone else?
- __loam 3y agoMost software jobs have equity compensation now.
- throwuxiytayq 3y agoCurious. What planet do you hail from?
- Bjartr 3y agoThe illustrator was aware their work was going to be used in that way.
- breischl 3y agoI'm not in illustration, but isn't it already common to hire someone to create a "style book" of what it should look like, and then have other illustrators follow that? eg, I recall animated shows working that way. Doesn't seem so incredibly different from that.
