I was on stable diffusion art and one of my comments got removed for saying the OP didn’t “make” the AI generated art. But he didn’t make shit the AI made it, he typed in a description and hit enter. I think we need a new word for when someone shared art an AI made, like they generated it or something. It feels insulting to actual artists to say you made art with AI
This is how art has worked for millennia.
I go to a human artist and say “please make me a painting of my family. Make my wife more beautiful, me more tall, and my kids not look like little shits.” And then you give money. That’s a prompt for a commissioned work.
No one ever praises the Duke of Milan for commissioning a painting of The Last Supper. They praise Leonardo Friggin’ di Vinci for making it.
Yeah, that’s a great analogy actually.
It is not. The issue here is not “praise”.
It’s weird to see this used as a con. This is exactly the framing AI app creators use. If it’s the same as paying an artist to make you art, then there are no issues whatsoever with using that art wherever.
There are deeper questions here.
This is weird to have to say, because I feel like I’m more open to AI generation than most online people, but I still think it needs a new copyright framework, it’s not the same as buying work from a human.
