Why AI art is so controversial

  • You've probably heard about "AI art" - pictures created by simply typing in a few words. These are text-to-image generation tools based on huge natural language models - DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and now more.
    But why are they so controversial? It boils down to two big questions:
    1. Will AI art take artists' jobs?
    2. Does AI art steal artists' work?

    There's also another problem with AI art: is making art even a task we want to automate? Why are we automating things that make us happy? Eventually it comes down what we prioritize in our capitalist society.

      Looking at art doesn't make me happy. Making art makes me happy. Traditional art like paintings, illustration and other 2d pictoral media give me almost no feeling at all alone. Give it motion and dialogue sure, but by itself? Eh. And I've felt this way for decades and have found a good amount of people in my life that feel the same way. The reason art makes most people in my experience feel warm and fuzzy is because of the artist behind it or the subject of the art and to a much lesser degree, the interaction that they associate with the art when they received or bought it. All of which can be achieved with AI art. So in the same breath it's a yes and no, but for different reasons.
      The real question is does AI art have "soul"? Which, the only way to findan answer objectively would be a double blind study where a litany of art both AI and handmade are randomly portrayed in the same media (most likely flat reprints on a sheet of low gloss paper) and having people go through and pick out which pieces of art they like and which they don't. See if there is an inherent bias toward the art created by the humans vs the AI. My hypothesis is that there will be no clear findings meaning the AI is so close to how humans create art that there is no noticeable difference and it will moreso come down to the the personal taste in subject and style of the pollees, rather than who it was made by.

      @@TheShowdown16 I don't think the comparison with weaving is accurate. Firstly, power looms don't compete with artist weavers, whereas AI generators DO compete with artists. Secondly, the power loom has huge societal value because it provides us with something we otherwise could not have gotten (because weaving by hand is tremendously tedious). AI art generators on the other hand have a negative societal value. This is because they do not solve any problem we have, yet they make art in general worthless.
      I do think your comparison is right in one respect though: the main problem being capitalism. The power loom was not inherently a bad thing. However, at the time the working class hated them. Why? Because the machines caused them to lose their jobs. For them, the power loom was a bad thing. I would say, it's not the power looms that are bad, but the economic system that left the workers to starve so that the factory owners could get more profits. If society were to strive towards human happiness instead of monetary gain, most of these technologies people hate or find dystopian would either not exist or not pose a threat anymore.
      Your last sentence seems to imply that you think there is just some natural phenomenon called "technological progress" that's completely detached from us humans, our societies and our economic systems. I can't disagree more with that. Technological progress does not exist in a vacuum. Our economic system and societal order have a huge influence on the direction of technological progress. Capitalism incentivizes profits, often contrary to the greater good. For instance, some kinds of medicine are just NOT developed further just because the pharmaceutical companies that fund it do not deem it profitable to do so.

    The problem with AI art is that, they become so progressively good at rendering art that it makes us artist lose motivation to do what we do as always. Imagine this, as an artist, my art basically take me between and around 5-6 hours, from sketch to rendering. And seeing people use AI just to replicate the art that I had created for a mere second, it just makes me go crazy.

      Therefore, the kid starts to learn the watermark perfectly, although he doesn't copy. And once you ask him to give you art from the guy, he'll replicate the watermark, even though he doesn't copy from artists' artwork.
      That's what happens with AI. there is no big database of artworks in it's model, it's only learning how to draw by looking at inspiration.

    as an artist, I would like to point out that the "stealing from artists" argument honestly has very little to do with AI being able to replicate our art styles, and more to do with the fact that our art was used without our permission in order to program the AI.
    Almost every artist I've talked to about this is more angry about the fact that our art is being stolen by random techies and fed into these programs without even bothering to ask us for permission. They're straight up just taking art from independent artists and using it for their own massive profit whilst the artists who poured hours of blood, sweat and tears into their craft aren't seeing even a single cent... even though, without the work of all of those artists, the AI would be have nothing to learn from in the first place and would be completely useless.

      @Dani your use of the word "y'all" implies to me that you are not an artist... So I'm not sure you are entirely qualified to make such confident statements on our opinions.
      Listen, I'm not against AI art, I think it could be a great tool for animators to help with tweening and for artists in general to help speed up tedious processes and therefore be able to focus on the parts of creating art that are more enjoyable to us, but the way these AI programs have been created is extremely sketchy and extremely distasteful.
      There's a big difference between an artist looking at another artist's work for inspiration to create something, and an AI directly USING that work to create something, especially when the people who created said AI did not ask for permission and are now profiting from it. It's like the difference between an oil painting on a canvas and a collage of magazine clippings, both can be made into whatever image you like, but any imagery in the painting had to be created by the artist themselves, whilst the collage directly utilises the photography and graphic design works of someone else to create its imagery.
      I know this tech is new and exciting and seems super futuristic, but if we don't slow down and really examine *how* and *why* technology is being developed, it can only lead to serious issues in the long run.
      Tbh, I probably would've gladly turned over my work to help program something so cool, and if it was an open source kinda thing, I'd probably have done it for free, so the stealing thing is just so unnecessarily mean-spirited, and really shows the true intentions behind these AIs... they weren't created as a helpful tool for the advancement of humanity, they were created to make a profit.

Frida Kahlo painted images of deep loss and sorrow as well as fighting against that and fighting against oppression and societal norms and images of rebellion and empowerment. Plus you can ask an ai to make a picture of sadness or of happiness, love, anger, etc. but it’s just going to sample a bunch of different things and give you an average; it can’t depict what those emotions feel like for a specific artist. It’s like using an emoji like 😊 for happiness, but that is the generic “happiness” and can’t really depict what happiness looks like when emotes by one individual’s face.

    Let me explain - Consider the Starry night by Van Gogh. Now if we look at the painting for what it is, many people will sya that it isn't something particularly attractive or interesting.
    But when you learn about what went into making the painting, the artist, his life, his reason for creating that painting, the fact that the distortion represents his teary vision etc(you get the point) you will definitely start to appreciate it.
    Even if an AI creates a visually similar piece thats "equally as good" as the Starry Night, it still wouldn't have much value... Because it's just a bunch of pixels lightning up in a specific pattern mathematically calculated by an insentient algorithm.

An artist have to train and practice for years to perfect their style and techniques just to be disappointed in themselves when they see that a machine can make arguably better "art" and faster without putting any effort.

      Let's say you trained a kid on replicating his entire world : Trees, forests, ponds, lakes...
      Now, you put a strong emphasis on one artists' work in particular. You don't tell the kid anything, but you give him 100 tries per arwork (this is what AI usually takes). However, every piece of art from this guy has the exact same watermark.
      Therefore, the kid starts to learn the watermark perfectly, although he doesn't copy. And once you ask him to give you art from the guy, he'll replicate the watermark, even though he doesn't copy from artists' artwork.
      That's what happens with AI. there is no big database of artworks in it's model, it's only learning how to draw by looking at inspiration.
      However, it CAN overfit signatures, if they are present in HUGE quantity in the training data

Nowadays we have undos and filters and content aware fill all placed on layers we can rearrange by drag and drop. It's all about abstracting away the boring stuff so people can turn their idea reality quicker. AI art generation is the next step. Instead of using arbitrary commands to tell the computer what to draw, you just write it out in natural language. It's pure creativity. Now people can spend their time honing their creativity, rather than spending years to home their muscles memory to draw the most realistic looking egg.

It takes the prompt and tries to essentially find those patterns in the noise field. I'm not an expert, though, so maybe the people who explained it to me were wrong. But it's not just "mashing pixels together to make a collage", and no part of the original art was used to do anything other than allow the AI to recognize patterns.

      Portrait painting used to be an enormous industry for artists. The camera destroyed that - but it didn’t destroy art. There were more commercial domains for art to survive in, and art became more about expression than it had been before. Cameras are lovely and I personally think they were a massive benefit to humanity (quickly getting an exact image of reality is amazingly useful). In fact, entire artistic industries only exist because of photography (movies).
      AI art will do the same but for illustrating easy-to-describe concepts. People will lose jobs. It will be rough. But art will not die. Visual art will lean more and more towards pure being about expression, and a new artistic medium might even be created. I think humanity will benefit in the end (being able to instantly get an image of a phrase that you thought of is amazingly useful), but it might be hard to see now.

It's not "letting non artist create thing" it's "mega corporation choosing to hire Ai instead of an artist for work", do you want movies in the future being generated by Ai and so does the character design was generated and the dialog with the writing? Go ahead. Can't wait until there's no artist, writers and director in the future until all entertainment becomes repetitive and boring since AI is stealing from each other's work until no new interesting plot, character or story ever gets created.

      You can use it as an ressouce, these AIs with their latent fields can visualize what different words mean to people. Art is often a hard field because one has to convince others that their work is valuable and often the top 1% gets 80% of the attention and the 80% least successful artists get 1% of the attention. So on the one hand a few artists are extremely rich artists and most artists can't live from their work.

And people trashing the creation of diffuser models that mimicks artist have to remember that people have always done that to people. Both of them are just plagiarism, humans or not.
      From my experience working with Stable Diffusion i can tell u that at this point, art creation with “””AI””” vs art creation by hand is just a different thing, none of them are actually superior to the other if we’re talking about building a cohesive body of work ( if its just a one-time illustration “”AI”” is more superior. ) And I’d say people in general underestimate the workload of creating a body of work with ML models, the amount of trial and error spent to create a model that caters to a style might be not worth spending resources on vs. “just draw it bro”

      Sounds nice, but heads up that having certain “intentions” is completely arbitrarily as a criteria and doesn’t seem to have any logical rigor connecting it to the art. Maybe you’re fine with that, and that’s cool.
      For example: A dead artist doesn’t have intentions, or you might not know their intentions. Does that stop their work from having meaning after they are dead?
      If you consider the value of intentionality to survive (after any intentions themselves are missing), then you must assume the value from their intentions must somehow be transcribed into the painting to survive after their death. Mood in the viewer color scheme style etc. This important part is that it would have to be a physical property or characteristics to survive.
      IF it is physically part of the painting, then another artificial process producing the painting could be equally capable of transcribing the same signature effects as intentions.
      At the end of the day, claiming “intention is a property that matters to artistic value” relies EXCLUSIVELY on your belief of who made it.
      If you don’t know if the artist was a human or as an AI, you won’t be able to judge if there was intention. Your rule wouldn’t help you distinguish if it was even art.
      You’d have to say identical work from a robot is less valuable than work from a human, even if you can’t tell the difference.
      “Intention” is code for your own internal rule for when you personally judge art: That you like it more art more because you THINK a human made it, but that rule isn’t really about the art.
      That rule is about you. 🤷

      It is in this way that AI "art" becomes fundementally distinct and unique. Of course, when prompted to, it can be made to replicate someone elses "style" to the best of it's ability, but the quality and similarity of those images to the original works vastly differs owing to the input and specifications of the prompter.

Copying machines can be helpful, but If you use it to generate copies of a material without the owner's consent, it definitely becomes a device for piracy. The same goes for making mangas, those artists are paid and permitted by the main author to replicate their artstyle for the sake of uniformity.

    There are a few things missed
    1. Its not just public domain art, and some Ai tools have even been found with peoples medical records in their data
    2. When an art piece is inspired by someone else, most artists will give credit to the original creator. AI tools don't even give you the ability to give references
    3. Due to a monkey, an image without a human creator technically doesn't have a copyright to my knowledge their is no case law on AI art being included in this
    4. People use AI tools and claim it as their own hand drawn art. This makes the stolen art issue even more complex and also really makes legal issues because they are claiming that it's something copyright protected when the current law says it isn't

    AI replicating a style is NOT the same as a human getting inspired by it. A human who wants to mimic a style will inevitable add their own experiences, technique, emotions, and style to what they are trying to copy / get inspiration from. When AI does that, its more like literally cutting out a piece of an existing artwork and pasting it together with with a mix of other stolen artworks. There is no creative process behind it. No human experience. Just math and theft.

    The machine doesn't create new pieces through inspiration or even imitation. It samples existing images and mashes and blends them together to compose an image. Thus the original material still exists - just with modifications.
    It's like cutting out the Mona Lisa and overlaying it with some other pieces of art while filling in tiny details with more tiny pieces of existing art until you make a "unique" image.

    There is very much a debate there to be had, but on the topic of “doesn’t both humans and AI copy artists styles” I think very important differences can be made. The big difference between humans and AI in the art space is, that humans might take inspiration from other artists, but they create their own style through their journey, and AI simply copies every single detail about the style of the artists they were trained on.
    That is at least my current thoughts, please tell me what you think

      This is definitely important to note, but a lot of the ways companies are using these are by using them for concept art, or they use it to generate basic designs and have artists touch them up so that there is still a work unique to them in the end (and i would assume copyrightable). Despite AI Art itself not being recognized to copyright, it definitely can affect (and already has affected) the jobs of artists.

    As an artist, there's not really a thing such as "stealing a style", since I found out that everytime I find new inspiration and learn from it, some minor details from my style will never be gone, like details on eyes, how to shade, body proportion are something that is hard to change even if you do find art style inspiration. Sure maybe the first one or two art you make inspired look like you copied the style, but after a few more artworks you will see your own style incorporated into the style you are inspired by, and that just continues and continues until we find our stable style.
