- krapp 2y agoAn artist that copied an existing artist's style to the degree that LLMs do would be sued.
- gruez 2y agoSource? Has any artist been successfully sued for copying "style"?

- krapp 2y agoI don't know. I'm pretty sure if I traced his work and passed it off as my own, just with maybe a few tweaks, I'd get in some kind of trouble with someone. And in my opinion (which is unfortunately more controversial than I think it should be) what LLMs do is far more akin to tracing than inspired creative expression. And I think intent is relevant here. Someone using an LLM to create a product in Frank Miller's style, trained on Frank Miller's work, isn't merely trying to create something inspired by his style, so much as create a Frank Miller product without having to pay Frank Miller.
- gruez 2y ago>I'd get in some kind of trouble with someone. "trouble" of what nature? You'd probably face more social consequences than legal.
- cma 2y agoThere was probably an early stage where Frank Miller learned by tracing, and many comic artists trace and augment photos of models. I'm not sure how you can define that diffusion image models are tracing things though, unless using something like control net on outlines of Frank Miller drawings.
