Unfriendly fucking reminder that AI is a copyright violating machine, that the original AI projects were funded by Elon Fucking Musk because he does not see value in the work of artists, and that AIs have problems with constantly putting signatures and watermarks back into art
I will continue to use NightCafe to generate personal reference images of fantasy architecture because it's fun and I have no ethics, but this is true. In landscape images especially, the AI will every so often put a "fake" watermark onto a generated image. More often than not, this watermark clearly comes from Alamy or Getty Images, and fuck both of those companies. Sometimes the watermark is a bit more of an artistic signature, though, and that's when things start to get dicey.
Obviously this is not ideal, but I wish I understood more about how it works and where the stolen art is coming from. Would there be a way to create AI-generated "art" ethically?
I'm putting "art" in scare quotes because it is so, so, so obviously generated by AI. It works (sort of) if the prompt is "giant gothic castle labyrinth," but not so much if the prompt is "a flower" or "a human hand." Some of the fingers I've seen this AI generate are going to haunt me forever, no joke.
