Ummm based? Mickey Mouse is nearly 100 years old, it should absolutely be public domain you weirdos.
Steamboat Willie copyright expires next year.
Hah. Good one.
Don't worry, it'll get extended
ArtStation had plenty of artist complaining that do not draw anime girls. Not sure of their politics, majority of artist may be left leaning but at one point there was stuff that the left and right had overlap on. And it’s perfectly reasonable for anyone not to be cool with someone scraping millions of portfolios and using your work to train ai without your permission or compensation. Especially when people make an account call themselves a “prompt artist” and start mucking up the feed reducing visibility of actual art portfolios. A frequent prompt used is “Trending on ArtStation” past couple of days that prompt would get you a result of an image covered in anti ai images.
That doesn't happen. It's hoax perpetuated by AI artists to mock the protest.
Cool, you are 6 hours late from the first person to say that
You fell for the meme. I don't know about mid journey but at least SD is using images they got, it's not live learning new stuff, a model has to be made and it cannot learn live from the Internet. Basically, those images they paraded around are a troll, specifically made by people to mock them.
I agree with the posting stuff, pixiv for example specifically has a button you have to click if you upload something stating whether it's Ai art or not. If it is it's possible to filter it out(they have an option for that) and if you don't it clearly states what is AI generated and what isn't.
Seems like it's Artstation that needs to work out how to do their feed system, make it mandatory to declare, if people find out(there's tons of ways, one is just looking) you get banned.
He got mid journey to stop posting Mickey mouse. This has been corporate shillery the entire time.
Sorry artists you're fucked. And you won't be the only ones to be replaced.
Most of these people probably don't "deserve" to lose their income - but reality doesn't give a shit what you deserve. Times change and the world doesn't owe you a living "doing what you love". Going full luddite isn't going to do anything except waste your time.
Really ironic that laptop-class guys like this are the ones being replaced by machines and not the actual physical laborers they loved sneering at.
Something something learn to code.
learn to mine coal...
For most of them, losing their income is only secondary. Over a decade of being fawned over on social media has inflated their egos to Olympian scales, and letting the unwashed masses do what they do with only a few lines of text will be the end of that.
bit of a sadistic thing to ignore all the implications just to go "sorry not sorry" internet-tough-guy style on some axewound pedo leftoids, isn't it?
it's gonna affect you too, unless you currently consume 0 art and listen to no music, view no paintings, play no games and avoid all websites that might have some imagery on them. if you think art today is shit, just wait until David ben-Shekel can churn it out by the million with his licensed AI.
Exactly. Lets push the giant corporation that is left of Mao to do our dirty work
The seething out of 95 IQ geniuses like this guy is great. He's so mad and so dumb he can't even articulate why he's actually mad.
The funny thing about screaming artists outside of their prevailing politics is if they were doing real art the AI couldn't pull it off. They are just regurgitating things in common styles they were taught. There's a skill and effort factor to real art, not just subject matter. After all, Michelangelo's David is just a statue of a man and the Mona Lisa is just a painting of a woman.
Not going to lie. I like both of those pictures. Although the one on the right has some strange fingers on his left hand?
AIs are really bad at drawing hands- much like many real artists. They are generally getting better at it but I have noticed that some will just cut off at the wrists- much like many real artists.
Don't get me started on the horror show that is feet.
AI with a foot fetish?
It should make a wonderful TShirt
There is a distinct difference between "AI trained with a million pictures of anime boobs creates anime boobs" and "AI trained with thousands of pictures of mickey mouse creates mickey mouse." Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from two, it's research. Just as if you hire an artist to create anime boobs you can sell the result (assuming you bought the rights and all that) but you can't hire an artist to create mickey mouse and sell it. I'm fairly sure "Mickey Mouse" was in the prompt somewhere. Makes me wonder what you get for "Cartoon Mouse." Of course I'm not saying Mickey Mouse shouldn't be in the public domain by now because my goodness.
I did a quick test and at least for the version of stable diffusion I used "Cartoon Mouse" creates the most generic cartoon mouse possible and "Mickey Mouse" creates Mickey fucking Mouse. So I'm gonna say this is a nothing burger argument at least for now.
lol that's not how the law works at all. the law doesn't care by what method you made the infringing work & "according to the AI models TOS" means nothing.
Putting aside the ridiculousness of Mickey's effects on Copyright law...
These images aren't potentially infringing because of a certain style of shading, a certain line thickness, colour balance, or anything else like that. They're potentially infringing because they're MICKEY, and even then, they're no more infringing than any Mickey fanart would be.
If you draw your own character in the style of Disney, you haven't infringed on Disney by mimicking their head style. Style is not copyrightable.
These images are in fact the perfect example to show that these people don't have a copyright argument against AI.
