Stop STEALING AI 'Art'

As much as AI 'art' isn't copyrighted and you legally can use the images you should really think before you claim ownership over an OC that's depicted in AI art on various places like pinterest. In this speedpaint I ramble about why you need to be aware of copyright law and why you shouldn't 'steal' ai art. If you're inspired by the art just make your own pieces and illustrations rather than outright taking from people. Don't even use it as reference for your pieces, you never know what mistakes are contained in these 'art' pieces. Anyway, see you next week with hopefully a more upbeat video.

I can smell the comments already. Much like the last AI video I did, if I so much as THINK you're being mean to someone in the comments or advocating use of AI your comment will be deleted. BE NICE and don't be an art thief

The best thing you can do is honestly try and reverse search. If you like the AI image and want to make an OC based off of it use it the way it's SUPPOSED to be used - as a reference. It's honestly pretty easy to find the original artists, the databases usually steal from large or medium sized art accounts that are very active on socials.

THANK YOU. Ive been thinking about this for a while now. I remember when people talked a lot about how immoral AI images were because of the stealing. And now... people just. Ignore that? It's. Strange to say the least.

Yeah i agree, i don't see this side of view often sadly, it also weaken the main argument against ai that stealing is bad lol.

That one time on twitter where there was an ai image of a cat covering one side of a girl's face gave me 2nd hand embarassment soooo bad. Artists thought they owned the guy after basically making it a DTIYS 😭😭Like stop it girl you're giving them engagement :c

It's sad that content creators "repurpose" ai arts by redesigning because the AI design "looks sick but unfortunately AI generated so I can steal from the thief". People are prioritising content creating over the morals they're fighting for?? Thanks for raising awareness because no one seems to talk about it

This! The trend has been bothering me alot, thank you for making a video of this.

Would it count if I took inspiration from it? Like not redraw it but as if I redesigned the ai character persay

[stardoogalaxie]

I wanted to participate in the redesign of AI adopts but the more I scrolled through the more my brain was able to recognize a human artist in the AI and was discouraged. Its all so... generic! And it feels more ethical and technically sound to do a credited master study of a human artist than a redesign of an AI oc.

last thursday vincent van gogh's aquarel Meules de blé ), was sold for 31 million, it's in private hands and never to be seen, , thanks to AI you can... you can even print it on canvas and sell it on little amateur art markets ( like i do ) before Ai i sold a few posters, mostly building or landmarks from the city where i live in, Now i get special questions and requests, so i let Ai do the work and a happy customer that don't care how it's made .. they want replaceable decoration on their walls .... If you can't beat the system then become a collaborator like my grandad back in 1940 orso
