Hey artist what's is yall's opinion on A.I art?

[rayrichardsauthor]

Yeah, and those musicians are compensated for it when samples are used. That doesn't happen with ai. Kinda a problem wouldn't you agree? Especially if it gets sold in turn.

Actually no. Chords, tropes, style, etc aren't copyrightable. From what I've been told, the only times copyright becomes an issue is if someone is trying to deliberately trying to pass someone else's work off as their own or are trying to pass themselves off as another artist, like mimicry. Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" caused problems because she was directly referencing lyrics from "When I was Your Man". YouTuber Yuyi Chua is another example of someone trying to pass off someone else's content as their own. If I decided to record and post covers of Taylor Swift songs on my YouTube channel, I don't owe her anything. My covers would be protected under the general umbrella of Fair Use.

So sampling someone else's song is no different that learning to draw from art books or drawing your favorite cartoon character. As long as it's not an exact dup of someone's copyrighted work or a person isn't trying to profit off someone else's name, you are pretty open to do whatever you want creatively.

I don't think you know what sampling is.

When you sample something, you take the copyrighted work or generally a piece of it, and rework it into a new work. The original copyright holder, however, is actually compensated for the sample used.

This isn't the same as making a reference to, or using a similar chord progression.

Gen ai, which is build on copyrighted material, churns out slob build from that copyrighted material without compensating the original copyright holder.

So? There is a lot that goes into copyright law that I don't know about. But it doesn't change the fact that if you are creating a new piece of art that isn't a close dupe of a copyrighted piece or you're not profiting off someone else's name - you're fine. It also doesn't change the fact that people can't own tropes, chords, musical notes, and ideas. There have been multiple lawsuits in recent years that basically say the same thing.

[KevinReijnders]

Once again, the gen ai machines are using copyrighted material without compensating the copyright owners. That's what their models are built on. It's not inspired, not a single chord progression, the whole damn track lists of whole swats of musicians fed into the slob grinder.

When another musician uses a sample, as in a piece of copyrighted material, as in an actual piece of a music track made by another musician, to make a new song, they pay royalties to that musician.

When an ai prompter uses a gen ai, which essentially samples the whole entire damn thing, there is no compensation to the musician whose work has been literally used in the making of the ai-slob.

This is again, not the same as being inspired or making a cover or using a similar chord progression.

I'm wondering what the point of this argument is? We've established that we all disagree on one point or another. It seems to me like we should cut our losses and go home before anything gets uncivilized...

I'll let you know my opinion on AI art if any is ever created. Right now there are only AI generated images.

[incoMan]

Like I said before the hate is way too overexaggerated

[EncryptedWriting]

I hate to be this type of person but youre wrong. It is properly hated.

[skullforceagents]

Personally, I love drawing. Having a computer draw for me is like having a computer play Smash Bros for me. Kinda takes the point out of it. Because of this, I’ve never used AI for art. I’ve used it for research and advice on marketing my work, but not for artistic composition.

That being said, it’s not going anywhere. If you want to use AI, have at it. Just keep in mind your work might be frowned upon by your potential readers as it’s a very controversial practice. You’ll need some very good writing skills to back it up.

Today's "Breaking Cat News" comic by Georgia Dunn (You can follow her on GoComics. I highly recommend her comic!) is on point:

In my mind, it depends on how it's used. It should only help generate concept ideas, which you can make your art from those ideas without using the AI slop. Though, it most definitely shouldn't be used all the time.

But, people are lazy, and they will just use an AI image and then try to make money from it. In both the writing and art communities, it's downright dumb and pretty shameful to use AI as a crutch for everything without trying to at most put creative effort into anything.

[sushy00]

I absolutely hate it, it is immoral. Most artists didn't consent to having their work used for training.

In my mind, it depends on how it's used. It should only help generate concept ideas, which you can make your art from those ideas without using the AI slop.

I keep seeing this use and while I can see the utility, I wouldn't use it for concept work directly - that's a good way to make sure your work looks like everyone else's and doesn't stand out. There's lots of other sources for good pose or costume ideas that won't seem as generic.

[jwabeasley]

Georgia Dunn killing it again. Definitely in the top 5 current newspaper strips.

[skullforceagents]

Yeah the training part really is an issue. The problem is that technology moves fast while government moves slow. AI will already be leaps and bounds ahead of where it is today by the time congress has a debate about how it trains.

One day AIs will take the creative freedom to destroy the human race XD

It's an absolute abomination and as someone who has been working in 2d animation for the past 6 years, I've actually seen it cause people to freak out and switch careers - giving up their dreams. I hate it more than I can describe. It's an electronic thief with zero artistic merit. It's soulless garbage and anything it creates that resembles soul - it stole.
