Q

What is the first AI generated art?

A

Jason Allen’s work, “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial,” took home the blue ribbon in the fair’s contest for emerging digital artists — making it one of the first A.I.-generated pieces to win such a prize, and setting off a fierce backlash from artists who accused him of, essentially, cheating.

Q

What is fair use

A

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster.

Q

How Is AI Art Created?

A

Artificial intelligence is designed to simulate human intelligence through computer systems. Programmed to synthesize information, recognize patterns and make decisions, these systems can complete tasks associated with human intelligence.

Current AI text-to-image generators, such as DALL-E 2 or Midjourney, are trained to mimic human artistic ability. The generator “learns” a particular style or aesthetic by analyzing datasets containing thousands to millions of images. By understanding the relationships between visual information and their corresponding text descriptions, the system can create its own images in response to text prompts.

Q

Why is AI art so controversial

A

Some argue that it takes work away from actual artists, which is essentially the ‘anti-automation’ argument–this idea that automation and using technology for tasks once carried out by humans takes jobs away from humans (apart from those humans creating and maintaining those systems of automation).

Q
A

“The answers here, as in traditional questions of copyright, will likely differ in each case and will depend on both the degree the AI exploits particular pieces of existing art and the use the final product is put to,” Ebrahimi Afrouzi said.

Q

Could AI elevate human creativity?

A

Rather than “replacing” human creativity, Buck views AI as “displacing” it. The architect described AI as a form of “mediation,” similar to other technologies like a pencil or paint, and software like Photoshop and 3D modeling. AI serves as a filter which humans “look through” and “create through,” Buck explained, and is already a part of cameras, software for editing photos, Google search and a variety of other platforms that affect how humans see the world.

“It’s not that it is or will replace human creativity but that it will change how humans are creative and how art is produced,” Buck said. “[AI is] another way in which what we make is filtered through all the different technologies we use.”

Q

Github being sued

A

Microsoft, its subsidiary GitHub, and its business partner OpenAI have been targeted in a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that the companies’ creation of AI-powered coding assistant GitHub Copilot relies on “software piracy on an unprecedented scale.” The case is only in its earliest stages but could have a huge effect on the broader world of AI, where companies are making fortunes training software on copyright-protected data.

19
Q

Has china banned artificial intelligence generated media that does not have a watermark?

A

China has recently implemented a ban on artificial intelligence (AI) generated media that does not include watermarks. This decision has been made in an effort to combat the spread of disinformation and fake news on the internet. AI generated media, such as deepfake videos and audio, have the ability to manipulate or alter real content, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine and false information. By requiring AI generated media to be watermarked, it allows for easier identification and traceability of the source material. This is particularly important in a society where the spread of false information can have serious consequences. While the ban is a step in the right direction for combatting disinformation, it is important for individuals to continue to critically evaluate the sources of their information and be cautious of believing everything they see or hear online.

Q

Did purpleport banned machine-generated images?

A

PurplePort, a popular portfolio and networking website for models, photographers and imaging creatives, announced a blanket ban on “100% machine-generated images” so that the platform can remain focused on “human-generated and human-focused art”.

21
Q

What is supply and demand jobs?

A

The labor market refers to the supply of and demand for labor, in which employees provide the supply and employers provide the demand. The labor market should be viewed at both the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. Unemployment rates and labor productivity rates are two important macroeconomic gauges.

A

In 2017, Kim published Katsuya Terada + Kim Jung Gi Illustrations Collection, a collaboration between himself and one of his own favorite artists. He also claimed to have been working on a project with Katsuhiro Otomo. Kim died in Paris of a heart attack on 3 October 2022, after experiencing chest pains.

23
Q

Who is Greg Rutkowski?

A

The digital artist Greg Rutkowski has seen his style of painting copied by A.I. image generators, which use databases of millions of images.

24
Q

Why was the printing press invented?

A

In the early days of the printing press, printers became very wealthy, but authors got very little. This was the reason copyright law was invented in the first place. It was designed so that the economy would encourage the creation of more art rather than just more printers.

25
Q

What are some solutions for how AI models can avoid copyright?

A

The AI models could be trained on public domain imagery, or they could partner with stock photo companies and use their assets to train the models. AI model companies they might develop a Spotify-type business model in which artists are compensated whenever their work is sampled.

26
Q

How is AI Art produced?

A

First, a data set must be gathered. This is done either by somehow finding enough of your data or by scraping the internet and collecting millions if not billions of image and text pairs which will be analyzed Next, machine learning will then uses this data to learn the similarities and differences that make up an image even if they don’t make sense to humans, these dimensions are associated with keywords that it can match with the words in a given text prompt. In a sense, the AI is breaking images down to the smallest conception it can, the pixels and relationships between pixels. This space where these mathematical dimensions are assigned to these properties is called the latent space. Next is diffusion, diffusion is trained by starting with an image, then random Gaussian noise is applied to it in steps until full noise is achieved. The process is then reversed and the machine learns which noise should be gradually ‘diffused’ or removed from an image. By doing this many times with many images it can learn how to remove noise from random seeds for new compositions using the text prompt as the guide.

27
Q

What is Zarya of the Dawn?

A

An 18-page comic book generated by AI, Zarya of the Dawn, full of the usual clunky uncanniness that AI is known for. After this registration was reversed, it was found that “Copyright under U.S. law requires human authorship.”. The Office will not knowingly grant registration to a work that was claimed to have been created solely by machine with artificial intelligence.”

28
Q

Is the Training of AI “Fair Use”?

A

Not definitive

29
Q

Why does Dance Diffusion only use copyright free music?

A

“Dance Diffusion is also built on datasets composed entirely of copyright-free and voluntarily provided music and audio samples. Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues. In honoring the intellectual property of artists while also complying to the best of their ability with the often strict copyright standards of the music industry, keeping any kind of copyrighted material out of training data was a must.”

30
Q

As Turkewitz quotes…

A

“Those reproductions of expression, however temporary, are the raw materials used for the development of new forms of expression. In other words, AI isn’t just inspired by the works it ingests — it owes its very existence to them.”

31
Q

Ethical concerns of AI Art?

A

It’s all about ethics. I think this is the winning point to emphasize: The fact that a monolithic machine, vast beyond the capabilities of any individual artist can be trained on the works of that artist, take their identity and style, and reproduce something new in that identity and style without the artist’s consent or knowledge, to the point where it can confuse with that artists to own works, with rampant potential for market disruption, is wrong, and anyone who advocates for AI art should at the very least recognize that for many artists, this
is upsetting and a very real possibility.

32
Q

Argument

A

The message that everyone on the internet should repeat is this: Those who develop AI should do so in the most legal and ethical way possible. AI systems, and the value they create, cannot exist without the data of artists work therefore artists should be compensated and asked for their permission before that work is used.

33
Q

The Executive Chair for Stability AI that gives you a general idea of the philosophy of some of these tech leaders…

A

“If you want to win when producing innovative technology, it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. It’s riskier, but it can catapult you to the top. True innovation unsettles people, inviting strong push back.”
