I will probably delete this toot later. I have seen AI-generated images containing the same elements (e.g. an AI-generated image with the same amount of cats, two small, and one large white cat with intricate golden patterns, a lotus flower, and a remaining coin at the top) & the same colors in my artwork. I especially mean the right picture in the three-pictured layout.How should I feel about such situations?#art #mastoart #fediart

In this second example, someone uploaded my Disco Dingo artwork directly into an AI tool and changed the main character from a Dingo to a cat into a woman. By the way, this AI tool also allows further edits of at least 30 AI-generated image versions based on my original.

@sylvia_ritterYou know... On the one hand I can understand that people do the later. I often looked to that DJ Dingo and thought: it would be so cool to have it with a cat *dreams *On the other it's "Übergriffig" to take your art and just modify it and republish it :/Dunno... It's hard I guess.

@NexCarter Heh, yes I've received many commission requests (Huskies, cats) but think it is the Dingo and should stay that way. Otherwise, it would water down the original. It is already pretty difficult to put something original out there, at least in my opinion.

@ruisan Not sure if this will help I can tell you that I have done so many things to prevent copyright infringements. E.g. during the most difficult time I added text and it just didn't have a good effect in general. Also, it seems that you as a creator have to change and invest time that makes you tired e.g. after submitting thousands of DMCAs. It is also sad that artists can't post higher-resolution images anymore.

@sylvia_ritter I am so sorry for that.I would feel very pissed.First by not giving reference, second to not ask permission to use your art to feed an AI to make a shittier copy of it.But I keep thinking and saying to whoever talks about that topic.An LLM image generator will never surpass the human artist.Everytime you make art you improve. Everytime a machines chew and spit some garbage copy out. It's merely a shadow of whatever the original artist(s) did.

@sylvia_ritter I really hope the Automated Incompetence bubble bursts real soon now. It's concerning the impact it's beginning to have on creators, artists, musicians, authors, educators and anywhere else it gets its grubby little tentacles into. I can't see how AI is a net good for most folks, eroding the very foundations of human expression and creativity that we perhaps take for granted.I don't how you should feel, but I hope you keep making great works of art :)

It's the same as any art theft, your work used by someone else to make quick money without permission or compensation.Nothing can be done before new laws are set to prevent this. Dumb that it needs to go that way around.

@sylvia_ritter Yes, there is gonna be a lot of noise and shitty llm generated images.But in the end, I believe humans will be the filter to curate and recommend art. And I deeply believe that llm generated content will get stale, boring, repetitive, uninteresting, netflixish. Humans will train the eye to detect and see how fake or soulless these content are and will seek for real human art that makes us feel humans.That is my hope

@sylvia_ritter it really sucks. A following just means reposted art (which is already ouch) is going to reach people who don't know you or your work, don't care, and who'll feed the work into an ai. For what it's worth, I always appreciate seeing your art on my timeline. It's clear you care and think a lot about what you create, and it's inspirational.

@sylvia_ritter They even cropped it to remove the copyright information... Depending on what kind of licensing you have on your images, you can definitely go after them (for instance, a CC BY-ND requires credit to be given and doesn't allow derivatives, so this would not respect it).

@Varpie Yes, I am used to cropping by now. I have three older more abstract artworks with a CC BY-ND license and nobody has given credit so far. CC licenses are also not flexible. Once you've given this license it can never be changed. I understand why but you have to be sure about your licensing decision.

@sylvia_ritter Yes, of course, the CC licenses aren't made for everything, I was just giving an example in case you were not aware. Licensing is something a surprising amount of people don't know as well as they should (and I don't know much about art licenses other than CC, licenses for code aren't the same).

@Varpie Thank you. :) I started with CC licenses in the beginning but then it shifted because I realized that I would not be good for anything else than art. Without a basic income or very rich relatives, you won't get far. It is sad to say but the copyright law brought me this far at least. Without this awkward support system, many artworks wouldn't exist.

@waterfeature In my experience such alterations damage the artwork. It looks uglier to the viewer, possible clients, and especially to the people who love your work. I've already scaled the images down, which has so far the best effect when you want to protect the artwork. Of course, there are already upscaling tools that upscale art at least with worse quality.

@maia Thank you, Maia 💚. Yes, I've heard about them. Visible artifacts are a big issue. I've already scaled the art down and don't feel well about it. Additional artifacts wouldn't be a good option. I have thousands of artworks already online, which also couldn't be protected by this method anymore. They will invent new filters to change the artifacts. I also refuse that artists always have to do the work and change, while big companies don't have to raise a finger.

@Neotheta Indeed, it is difficult to tell. Open AI isn't non-commercial anymore which is so strange.

@Chancerubbage @sylvia_ritter we still need alt text for accessibility and can't just stop doing that. There are 2 programs now out there who can butcher the images for AI making them unable to read for ai correctly. I'd promote that instead of stopping providing accessibility.

@NafiTheBear @Chancerubbage Yes, as I mentioned I won't stop adding alt text. These two programs won't work, unfortunately. They will always find a filter or a loophole and what about the artworks which have been online for a long time?

@sylvia_ritter it seems like it was a solid strategy: Use special research rights to scrape copyrighted and illegal content. Then use it to make a thing, release it as open and wash your hands of responsibility with "now it's out of the bag we can't take it back". Move to corporation mode that's already prepared to make use of the thing before others have and start making a lot of money.

@sylvia_ritter @Varpie too bad "AI" companies found a loophole to use it for scientific training data.It really really sucks.

@Neotheta If you look at big reseller pages you can see who profits the most ;). I can also see people with low income finally being able to create some album art for their songs. So it is not all bad, but rights should be respected. I mean copyright only lasts ~70 years and then it is free to everyone forever. In which profession does that happen and isn't this the least one can do?!

@JennyFluff @Varpie Yes, I also saw them advertising their AI tools as "painting", which seems pretty odd. I mean digital painting was already a bit awkward back in the days but calling generating pictures painting is very far-fetched, I think.

@sylvia_ritter Although nothing has stopped artists and musicans teaming up.The problem I've faced with album art (because it happens to be one of my passions) is that musicans would prefer to not give credit, generated content solves this problem. Or sometimes it's not good enough, even if it's free. But generating content on style of a trendy artist also solves this problem.It just overall feels very off, it's never to help the poor, it's to take away from the poor.

@Neotheta Yes, I also love to do album art. Recent commissions were unfortunately too creatively unattractive because they wanted it to be based on an AI picture. Nothing fun, at least for me. I have a relative, a musician, who can release music faster because it doesn't take that long or so much money to get album art. In this case, it helped someone with a low income. But it probably doesn't happen often enough. It feels very off and you get the feeling not enough people care about it.

@sylvia_ritter Problem is probably not that they don't feel but because the structure benefits them staying in power (and money is power).People do have strenght in numbers but there are so many big issues that demand time and attention currently that most are too tired and it's exactly the momemt for even more problems to be started :/

@Neotheta I was just expecting a little bit more from e.g. the EU Digital Services Act. With time maybe things will change. Lots of terrible things are happening right now that need a lot more attention.

@sylvia_ritter If what's happening in EU is anything similar to US, the ai corps are just paying a lot to their representatives to go and talk all gibberish about how it works. I watched some of the court hearings in US and it was just frustrating derailing of subject for hours, so basically they couldn't come to any conclusion.

@sylvia_ritter @Chancerubbage You could include licence info covering the alt text and image for use with AI in the alt text.It would also be pretty damning if generators came to associate your licence text with your style.

@sylvia_ritter As someone who has purchased from you before:Everyone who has ever posted something on the public internet has been stolen from, regardless of what model creators say. Your case is an egregious one.Feeding any model should've been only ever opt-in. In a truly just world, the thieves would be punished.But I've also had to unfollow your husband due to too much LLM-spam...Everyone needs to choose their principles: either fully embrace or fully abstain from generative AI.

@prsn Thank you for your support. Opt-in would have been great. I just hope some laws or support for creators will sort it out in the long run. It is sad to hear these systems let you unfollow people who are curious for a while but bored in the end. Good people should meet :). It is difficult to completely stay away, e.g. I was invited to an exhibition to tell what is real and what is fake to educate and help artists to survive.
