Is there someone in the illustrator community who is not excited about this meaningful technology? So cool. You don't have a job anymore. As a start, you will get less money.

Honestly it's not that much different than sampling in music. A few years ago Kayne West tried something similar when instead of paying Aphex Twin for the sample usage of "Avril 14th", he asked John Legend to play basically a carbon copy of the track on a piano[1]. Ultimately he had to pay for the track anyway.

Same here. Did you use my artworks while training your AI model? Cool, pay me licensing rights and residuals. No? Then remove them from your fancy art obfuscator filter.

This one impresses me: https://openai-labs-public-images-prod.azureedge.net/user-BA... The shadow of the hand is correct.

>The shadow of the hand is correct.

That must mean that the AI copied both the hand and the hand's shadow from the original.

I wonder how it interprets something like “two lesbians”. There isn’t necessarily anything a picture of might show to indicate that two women are lesbians, unless something intimate is happening. So, I wonder how the program interprets that. Does it just replace lesbian with woman, or is there actually something to indicate that a woman is a lesbian that we might not notice (gaydar?) but a program that has looked at billions of photos has noticed? Does it know us better than we know ourselves?

> she has been able to associate her name and personal identity even with her commercial works Doesn't this just mean that her future former customers will add "in the style of [her name]" to their prompts?

Possibly in the future, but not yet. I just tried several DALL-E prompts with “in the style of [my daughter’s name],” but the results looked nothing like her work. Maybe OpenAI hasn’t crawled her website [1] yet. Also, her commercial work usually includes lettering in English (and sometimes in Japanese), and DALL-E is not able to produce words or sentences yet.

This is purely an issue of scaling and is no longer true. Other text-to-image AI have already gotten around that and produce accurate text. See e.g. https://imagen.research.google/

"Pinterest" - as in, it will start clogging search results with AI-generated pseudoimages?

This is such a silly argument. People have been drawing and photoshopping non real depictions of lion elephant hybrids or whatever else for ages. It's already "clogged".

I think there is a case for class action suit from all the ripped off artists and photographers.

Totally hear your concerns! There's this article "I Went Viral in the Bad Way" from a write from The Atlantic - https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/62fc502abcb... . He got criticized so hard for using an AI-generated in his newsletter instead of paying an artist to do the work. People's concerns are valid and real. Yet, we can also imagine a future that "lower-level" artistic work can be achieved by AI,…

We hope https://openart.ai can be used by both Dalle-2 enthusiasts as well as artists to draw inspiration for amazing artwork.

if you are under the impression that working artists were suffering from any shortage of inspiration before sam altman decided we shouldn't have jobs anymore then you are sorely mistaken.

Digital artists are already using these tools to speed up their process immensely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsQgD9yNMxU

Sorry, whichever way you flip this, Inspiration is used again and again to hide the real intent of this technology: To remove artistic contribution from the corporate expenses list. Period. And this is just the beginning. Illustrators are the low-hanging fruit, they have no unions to protect them, they were undervalued for ages even before the digital age. Human made digital art will be competing with synthesis and g…

> they were undervalued for ages even before the digital age

Why are they? Why are teachers, nurses, policemen, etcetera undervalued?

I think this is because these jobs don't scale. You won't be able to show progression through time where you churn out 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... artworks/week. Nor can a schoolteacher aspire to teach 30, 100, 300, 1000 kids a year.

Our economic system is addicted to growth. S&P 500 must increase 4% a year or we're all doomed.

The ridiculousness of this in a post-peak-everything world is glaringly obvious.

I'm sorry you chose a form of human expression that is incompatible with infinite exponential economic growth.
