some before-and-after pictures of how I’ve been using AI generated images in my art lately 🤖

I share other artists’ concerns about the unethical nature of the theft going on in the training data of AI art algorithms, so I refuse to spend any money on them or to consider the images generated by them to be true art, but I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on using it for reference and paint-over like this?

my hope is that with proper regulation and more ethical use, AI could be a beneficial tool to help artists - instead of a way that allows people to steal from us more easily.

#ai art #art #digital art #artists on tumblr #right now i use ai as an extension of how i already create art #i make regular use of reference photos and free-use stock images for a variety of different purposes #and i think that with enough of a transformation of the source material #true art CAN be created from ai 'art'#but it's a complicated subject for sure #how do we decide how much transformation is enough to consider it an original work?#how do we regulate the use of image generation algorithms as more and more people get access to them #and start to run them for themselves?#we're in extremely uncharted territory here as technological progress continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace #it's important to think about these questions and stay informed on how we're reacting #because no matter how hard we try technology doesn't go backwards #but we do still have a say in how we choose to use it and how we feel about it
