" 10 REASONS YOU NEED TO START CARING ABOUT THE ETHICS BEHIND AI "ART"
1.There are NO ai "art" programs that do not use stolen art. Even if you were to have a program only use sources you provide those programs are trained on stolen work. Court rulings in the US and several other countries have already ruled to allow AI to use copyrighted artwork without consent.
2. When we use AI "art" programs, share their images, react positively, and continue the trends we are only telling companies "we like AI art", "AI art does well with the public".
3. Many big companies have laid off artists and are no longer working with freelancers unless it's to have them help fix up AI "art".
4. Those who intend to hire real artists have been tricked into hiring people who pose as real artists but use AI and do not disclose such.
5. Artists who make art for big companies are not being paid very much to begin with. They are artists trying to make a living, whether that's a full-time position doing art for a company or freelancing for them. It is already a highly saturated and highly competitive market even without AI I'm the mix.
6. Trends like the Bratz and Funko-pop AI "art" aren't just using images from those franchises. The clothing, hair, accessories, etc are coming from other artwork.
7. When I say it hurts artists I don't just mean those who do digital art. I also mean photographers, painters, sculptors, even fiber artists and interior designers. Communities have become flooded with AI images and sadly there are a lot of people who don't recognize it as such. It suppresses actual creations people made and makes viewers less impressed by real works and more likely to presume it's not real.
8. AI as a whole has been having significant environmental impact similar to those we saw with NFTs. Microsoft's water usage for tech cooling has gone up by a third and could fill 2,500 Olympic pools.
9.
Artists have had AI "art" creates based off their works come up first
in Google searches for their names. Even celebrities have had AI images of them
come up as the first image on Google.
10. There are significant consumer privacy issues including biometric data. The company who owns Lensa is being sued for biometric theft from data collected through their "magic avatars".
Please support real, human artists. Stop using AI images programs, stop sharing them, stop acting like it's not a big deal."
