All this is going to do is set up a wall baring people from uploading content created with SD and MidJourney, this is really the end goal.
The issue isn't "they scrape images and feed them" because they don't. The issue isn't "the programs just cut and paste images together" because they don't.
The issue is that there's new programs that allow more people to create art and the industry (that is overrun with leftoids) is threatened. If more people can create art, then they won't be able to charge $500 for a drawing of a cat with a horse penis.
Just what we need.
It is the third year of our Clown Lords, and the degenerates have bandied together to create an automaton that creates more furry porn in an hour than all the humans united could create in a year.
It automatically uploads them to galleries for sale as NFTs, which are then purchased by humans using cryptocoins.
The cryptocoins are earned by them spending day and night in their new profession as human trainers, who use supervised learning to teach the AI model to draw more and more depraved and grotesque content.
the problem with ai art is that it is derivative, not constructive. Allowing AI art will flood the boards with samey looking images.
Now, if the work uses AI, but the artist is able to embellish on it or enhance it to their style, then they should be able to post. But I agree with banning raw generations.
So if I'm reading this correctly:
To my untrained eye, it looks like they are just covering themselves from the situation where someone rips the entire site's contents and feeds it into a model, and then the copyright owners of the ripped work, i.e. their users, complain that this was done without their consent. Interestingly enough they still allow themselves to create models using their users work unless the users explicitly opt-out.
Unless I'm missing something completely, this doesn't prohibit you from uploading AI generated works just because they are AI generated. However any copyright claims over having used someone else's works without their express permission would of course overrule that.
It's quite interesting as to where the line is.
The situation is much more nuanced than the old cases of artists literally tracing over someone else's linework versus merely using it as inspiration without mimicking everything down to the exact pose. Even if you were to liken the AI models to glorified autocomplete engines for linework that compares tens of thousands of images and then uses statistics to generate a new image using a small percentage weighting of each image, how does this compare to an artist whose works are the result of every other piece of art and media he has seen in his life? Someone might say it is the difference between a machine just adding up equations versus a human using "creativity" and "imagination", but how different is that really?
The artist community is treating it like they defeated the dragon.
What is this even?
Buggy whip manufacturers complaining about automobiles.
Art Station is now against AI art creation.
Yeah, but what is Art Station?
It is a website like deviantart, but made to host the art and portfolios of working or prospective professionals and those who are looking to employ illustrators and the like commercially.
To say that it is against AI art creation is disingenuous, but rather, it honors the social contract between host and the people who literally make a website like that possible.
An artist show off site. It's one of the bigger names.
A dumping ground for shelved MMO loading screen art.
