One of the Ukiyo-e images that you showed was pretty explicit. your content is usually pretty clean, so not sure if you realized that was in there or not. Just wanted to let you know.
Your way of speaking in general was pretty hurtful to my ears 2 years ago and then 1 year ago, but... I must admit that you really improved your way of speaking and while your movies were informative back then but infuriating on your presence side, now they're not only better told but also contain much more valuable information. It's a very nice addition to see tht you're constantly riding your waves and you're owning them instead of just floating on their surface. I truly wish you much more money and even more satisfaction from it. Sincere 'thank you' from Poland.
AI art just frustrates me so much, shitting on the talent and man hours that goes into producing high quality art, going to put creatives out of a job so people can make more profit
Right, asides from the fact it is in fact IP THEFT. Use without permission. I mean, to those who want to, by all means use it, but do so with YOUR OWN WORK! Figure out your own unique style, do not COPY AND STEAL from the work of others.
Just to clarify, a "signature art style" is not protected by copyrights and is not a form of intellectual property and is not IP theft. Anyone is allowed to draw/paint etc in any "style" that they want: www.thelegalartist.com/blog/you-cant-copyright-style If "styles" were copyrighted, it would mean then that many forms of art could not exist. For example, all artists who wish to paint in a realism style now could not, for only one person would ever be allowed to do that, which would make no sense. Everyone, including AI, is allowed to draw in any "style" that they want - there is no copyright protection and it is not an IP.
@@WholesaleTed Article you put is talking about HUMANS , not machines. AI cannot draw, it can generate images based on whever you put in the database, it is not drawing. Putting copyrighted images into a software should be illegal and I sincerly hope there will be some laws placed soon regarding the issue. Whatever image ai will spit out is not yours, you didnt make it so you have no rights to it. I can sell exact same image you will generate since it's not copyrighted. It's so sad how everyone wants to be an artist yet they have no respect to actual artists. It's disgusting If you want to be an artist so much just grab a pencil and learn how to draw.
@@WholesaleTed its not about style. Its not about its not art. Its not about its allowed or not. Its about art ethic. Right now it's allowed. But soon it will not be. You of course only care about profit and set aside the ethic. I really hope things are changing with the movement that C.A.A do. Its already ground on serious matters for us artist and have no doubt that this won't stay as it is.
You're still better than ai because you've feelings and best art comes from the feeling, I'm sure if you use these ai you can create more than a common person creates. So you're always on top dude
@@asimhero2057 No Bot can speak like a human. No Bot can draw like a human. No bot can take shots like a human. And no bot can satisfy a woman. AI, wrongly called art, is for free or for some bucks. But my Art is for hundreds maybe thousands of dollars. because it's the real and the Original Art.
This video, this lady actually telling people to sell unethical art. Its so heart breaking that people who claimed to be "artist" sells money by contributing to a machine that constantly stealing an identity from a real artist. But fellow Real artist! Good news! Thankfully, recently there's a big movement on implementing a lawsuit against people like this. Go search : Protecting artist from AI Technologies by Concept Art Association This is a huge movement for us. 65k USD is already donated within 2 days. Its gonna be interesting to see how ironic this video will be
To me, the best thing about doing art is the process of it. Although making art takes a long time, it is soothing and the longer you work on it, the more meaning it gets. But now, people type stuff and it is all meaningless. Quite a shame if you ask me.
I think AI Art will be an incredible tool in the future for artists to help speed up some of their work if they choose to use it. You can use it to generate parts of it, and then modify/expand it yourself 🌞
we already know how bad AI art is for artists but another point is that it's also lowering art prices like crazy. People don't understand how much it takes to create a true art piece: time, skills, materials, ideas etc and some people are already contrary to paying an artist what they actually should. Now, with AI art that people sell for 5$ a piece (because they didn't put any effort into it), it will become normal to spend that low for an art piece. it's crazy and very sad.
AI generated art always has some degree of randomness in it. These processes won’t take anything away because demand for custom work or in general human inspiration will always be there, even when the two will get indistinguishable. The AI doesn’t know what is gonna generate, you will that’s the difference. At least bad artists that do degeneracy like furry will not get paid.
i struggle as an artist. i make about 2 or 3 dollars on a sale if i make one. hours upon hours of painting. now a stupid app makes pictures into digital art in seconds. LIKE IT WASNT HARD ENOUGH TO BE AN ARTIST.
Many struggle as an artist, even myself when I first started. The phrase "Struggling Artist" has been here for centuries. Adapt or get left behind. Use AI to your benefit.
As much as I am astonished by this AI generated "art" or should I say pixels (I have to admit I had quite fun testing some promts), I believe we will slowly loose touch with or own human creativity/life force, if we are going down further this road. As many other people and especially artists wrote in the comments: these images are mixed and made out of the real talented minds, humans, people, maybe your friend or family relative who spend hours, if not even months or years, to channel and express the wonders of life into something that would impact and touch peoples hearts. By that we denial the credit & respect to those important individuals and what they do for our health and culture. To sell those 10sec generated "artworks" to people for ridiculously high prices seems more than morally reprehensible, even though it seems tempting in times, where we all have to pay increasingly large bills. Much respect & love to all the true artists out there 🙏🏻❤️
People still respect the real thing and are willing to pay more to support creators. Usually an artist sells his/her work at high prices through reputation and marketing. That takes time and can't really be replicated. Basically art without a personality with it is going to get CHEAP because with these AI systems, the supply is about to skyrocket.
Personally I'd pay WAY more for an actual custom piece, like really good artists, specifically ones that draw furry art, make bank even with this out. So, IDK
Beautifully said. I am a musician (we are also impacted by AI already) and what's happening with AI is worrisome. Even if we forget the business aspect of being an artist and making a living out of this, I am also thinking about ridding our lives of creativity and what impact it will have on us as a society. Imagine, soon to be born kids will not understand why they should spend hours getting good at something if they can generate everything online. Creativity and what we get thanks to the process is one of the best mental health meds!
The dark side of this is that I know many artists whose work is being swiped by Ai softwares in general, then using it produce a version of their work for other people. It's HORRIBLE. It's ruining the lives of well known artists because at this point they are powerless to do anything about it. Someone even had artwork swiped from her BOOK! IF you have a conscience at all, it's time to rethink this until these kinks are ironed out.
All ai art legally has no copyright, so anyone could just copy all listings from anyone using ai generated images. I hope predatory sellers get their listings copied
Unfortunately people have always stolen other people's work and tried to pass it off as their own. It doesn't matter if they are using ai or copying it manually on photoshop or procreate, it's the same thing, and it should be treated the same way. Plagiarism is plagiarism, no matter what the medium is. I saw a lot of people get procreate and decide to start business copying other people's work and photographs, and it's exactly the same thing as this, and it all needs to be treated in the same way, it's theft.
AI is not the problem, people using it irresponsibly is. And that’s exactly what this person is influencing people to do imo. Very powerful and very useful tech but we must remind ourselves to be kind and not let pure greed be the sole driver of our decisions when using it.
There is a bizarre myth going around that DALL-E is "stitching together images" - it is not. It is generating them completely from scratch. They are original images, and it does it through this method: czcams.com/video/1CIpzeNxIhU/video.html The myth seems to come from the fact that, especially earlier on in it's life, DALL-E would sometimes generate watermarks that looked similar to say, Shutterstock watermarks. That isn't because it was stitching together Shutterstock images. It's because it was mistaking that as being a normal part of the image. They made modifications to DALL-E to teach it that the watermark isn't part of the image. Despite that, this myth still exists, and people still state it as though it is true.
People might want to read the terms and services of the AI software they are using. Several of them reserve the copyright of what you create, others give you the copyright while reserving a sub-license. What that means is they get to use it however they want, you may not be allowed to sell them, and in the case of sub-licenses, they get to use it but you take responsibility for it. In the recent copyright argument and class action lawsuits, that may be a very bad thing.
Also; if anyone is interested, I recently found out that as of several months ago the US Copyright Office will not issue copyright for AI generated images. There is no process for it in their files and it needs to be decided upon in Congress before they can issue one. So regardless of what the TOS says, you are creating product for the owners of these engines.
Read the articles I posted. I would have legal help behind me if I decided to do this. There will be lawsuits over this kind of business. Even Getty Images is refusing to use or sell them.
There was a story on NBC news on 12/9/2022 about Lensa A.I. avatar art. They said the same thing about copyright concerns. And security concerns as well. A security expert said you could be compromised regarding your images being used for facial recognition. The news story video is on CZcams.
It takes me 8+ hours to paint an original work (from my own thought process without technology) not to mention the time to photograph it, frame it etc or seal it so it is ready for sale. Then I put it online and AI steals it based on a user generated search but changes a few things and there you have a 5 minute or less hack that makes the user millions and me nothing for the original.
Hello from Texas I have many Digital images that I have created over the last five years and been feeling kind of stuck in a rut not selling them or printing them,way too expensive! Thank you for explaining Dall-E I’m really excited to use it! Who knows what the future holds🇺🇸
Excellent and inspirational video as always! Do you know if you are allowed to alter images, ie make collages out of Dall-e images? Thanks for all the great content!
I have a question! What do you mean when you say, ¿but do you retain the rights to use the artwork when necessary to maintain the operation of your services?
I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing all this info with us, in whatever accent your little, generous heart desires.... this grandmother gratefully takes as much of your advice as I possibly can manage. :) Much more success to you my dear.
Great inspirational video! I just opened a digital shop on Etsy but haven’t uploaded yet. Can I be successful just creating SVG or png files, or do I need to do both plus jpg, eps, dxf etc?
2 or 3 best performing etsy shops are not representative. I want to know how many are there TOTAL image shops on etsy and what are their average profits?
Hi Sarah. Great video as always. Just one minor thing - how much of this is easily possible using the free accounts of things like Alura and Printify or the free credits available or ideally does one have to upgrade to a paid account of these services? Thank you from Auckland NZ.
Alura isn't free - it's also not required to start a store at all. I use Alura as part of my video to show profits, but you can just easily see what products are popular on Etsy for free, by seeing which products have lots of reviews, which you can check just by clicking around Etsy and browsing yourself. I discuss how to set up an Etsy Printify store for free in this video tutorial, I hope it can help you: czcams.com/video/7ZlZFPBWC74/video.html
Hello Sara, do you have a video where you explain if we need to officially registrate before to start selling by amazon fba, or print on demand or dropssipping? To start the courses you propose do I need already been registrated as entrepreneur? Thx in advance Sara
Thanks for the always great info. I was watching while falling asleep last night, so I had to go back and grab the website links. Been having fun generating some pictures.
found this on the t&c page od dall-e : Use for non-commercial purposes: As this is an experimental research platform, users are not allowed to use generated images for commercial purposes. For example, users may not license, sell, trade, or otherwise transact on these image generations in any form, including through related assets such as NFTs. Users also may not serve these image generations to others through a web application or through other means of third-parties initiating a request.
People keep quoting that page - it's outdated & poorly written. DALL-E have clarified recently many times, including this week that you can use the images for commercial purposes. This is their LATEST update to their FAQ on the matter: help.openai.com/en/articles/6468065-dall-e-content-policy-faq "Can I use DALL·E for commercial uses, including NFTs and freelancing? - Yes." "Can I sell DALL·E generations I created during the research preview?" - Yes." "Can I remove the watermark? - Yes."
I tried Dall-e and sometimes it did alright and sometimes the art was so bad that I doubt anyone would buy it. I typed in Stegosaurus riding a skateboard and Dall-e generated a bunch of mutated weird dinosaur looking things with broken skateboards that looked like it was drawn by a 5 year old child. So even if it can generate images those will likely still have to be edited by an artist to look good.
Hello! Thanks for the info! As I was looking for images, I noticed colorful little squares at the bottom right corners..For that bottom colorful watermark, would we just have to crop that out?
Thank you very informative, one the best videos you have done, I have learnt a lot of useful information to help with my Ai, never heard of the Dal one will try.
Yeap, by stealing - “it’s legal, just copy someone’s else’s SIGNATURE STYLE that you like”. Hahahaa Do people REALLY THINK THIS IS OK? 😮 Do people really think the artist whose work you’re copying is happy for you to do so? And you dont even need to ask for their permission?? Do you not think there are going to be repercussions down the line? USE YOUR OWN WORK, put in the hard yards and figure out your own unique style.
Imagine an artist who spends tens of thousands of hours practicing and developing a unique style only to have someone start making pictures by the second, potentially millions of variations that all look like the artist's work, and the artist inadvertently creates works in their own style but looks too much like works in the vast database of copies in the AI "Artist's" hard drive and gets sued by the AI "artist" for infringing on their intellectual property because the artist made something that wasn't transformative enough and it looks just like AI "artist's" work because it was made in the style of the original artist.
Yeah, it's not like AI creates original artwork really. It just sees what is already out there from images on the web and from other "real" artists works and then reconfigures it. This is NOT real art. It is more like theft if it is taking images from sources that are not open source or offered as free images.
Original artist needs to date the art through notary if physical image, or creating a web page with the digital image, artist information, then post in several archive websites for date purposes. All AI art is datestamped, so the original artist's date of archival proves beyond a doubt who is the originator.
Not necessarily, there is a huge for AI art and many ppl out there who rather just buy them instead of making them. In time it will die down bt for now I have to disagree with you, I've seen certain accounts on various platforms and many are making over $5K a month from AI art alone 😊
Just found this channel yesterday, watched few videos, I just love her! She's so lovely, witty and funny! I understand her accent no problem, and I think that's a style for this channel! Keep sharing Girl!
I messed around with Midjourney, haven’t tried Dalle2 yet. The problem is when people want to print them into say posters the art isn’t clear, it’s blurred. How do you get around this?
Or just, you know, pay a living artist a flat fee to license work for printing to compensate them for their time and skill, instead of giving text prompts to a bot who stole the art from those artists anyway.
Let’s call it what it is: IP theft. ‘Their’ work is not possible without the style cue from the stolen without permission artwork. After all, what is it that artists strive for? A RECOGNISABLE AND UNIQUE STYLE of their own. It can take years to develop this. To those thinking of using AI: USE YOUR OWN DRAWINGS, DONT STEAL THE USE OF OTHERS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Just to clarify, a "signature art style" is not protected by copyrights and is not a form of intellectual property. Anyone is allowed to draw/paint etc in any "style" that they want: www.thelegalartist.com/blog/you-cant-copyright-style If "styles" were copyrighted, it would mean then that many forms of art could not exist. For example, all artists who wish to paint in a realism style now could not, for only one person would ever be allowed to do that, which would make no sense. Everyone, including AI, is allowed to draw in any "style" that they want - there is no copyright protection and it is not an IP.
DALLE-2 ai tool places a watermark in every picture it creates. Are you legally alowed to remove the watermark and use the picture or do you need to keep the watermark there?
"Great I no longer have to pay the person that actually put their time and effort learning how to and then creating art for me. I just type words and I can take away their money" awese video...
My thoughts exactly. Especially since this program doesn’t create “new” art. It pieces together existing art which is why you see a watermark or signature from time to time. Sad. However, Shutterstock partnered with DALLE to ethically create AI art via the Shutterstock website where artists will get paid. Ethical AI option.
so you're telling me that if i spend all day making ai art and adapting prompts, that i put no effort into making the art? you're fkn ignorant and retarded to say such things...
@@emily00firebomb I hadn't heard those two partnered together, that is good. I have no issue with AI being trained on images that are ethically sourced and artists/contributors get paid, that is the way they ALL should have been trained.
im just saying if your not gona be able to deal with ai and robots i feel bad for you because every year more and more ai and more stuff will get replaced
OMG, Sara, marvellous, I think I have found something I can do. I have tried to find a passive income idea, and although it initially looks like I can cope, I do get overwhelmed and hit a wall. But this one combines my love or art with something I can do. This is marvellous, you are wonderful. Where do you find these things? Anyway, Im so glad you do. Cheers.
This video is gonna trigger so many artist. It's not so much the ai is stealing from art itself, But the Ai learned from the art and now the ai is kicking the artist butts at their job and eating a large slice of the pie. It forces artist to create art in a non-creative way. I personally enjoy it but i'm not a "real artist". I can draw well and have lots of art skills but I'm not super attached to the process of making art. If I could press a button and get the image in my brain onto the canvas saving 100s of hours of time and energy I would love that. But I still respect that for some people, The act of making the art slowly is an art in itself.
It’s only legal for now. And it shouldn’t be. Musicians must pay to legally use a sample from another song, but AI art using other artists pieces to articulate an artwork doesn’t require a contribution? It’s harder than ever to win against technology, and people who come up with how to monetize it think that justifies their greed.
I think it depends. Take the Japanese art style discussed here. How can a human artist learn the style without studying and to a degree copying the style of the old masters of the art? Who would the contribution be paid to when someone copies the style of Da Vinci? Even with a contemporary artist, if an art student sits for hours studying the style in a gallery are they required to pay the artist? I can see some interesting court cases possibly on the horizon though.
I actually don't think there will be any court cases in the future in regards to that, because it's already been litigated & the courts have decided that art styles can't be copyrighted, so anyone can use any art style they like. Otherwise you can just imagine how many artists would be sued for painting in a Realism style! 😉 www.thelegalartist.com/blog/you-cant-copyright-style
Hi sanjeev here i have some images ready from the ai app so now how to approach etsy or digital stores where i can sell my digital photo and make money can i know at the earliest
Think about the fact that she makes a video about making money instead of making the ai art for herself and then sell it. Now ask yourself how does she make more money? With CZcams or with selling ai art?
That's what most of these videos/books/articles are doing. They're telling you 'free/easy money', but they're making their money off ads from the video/book/article. Why would people pay for this AI art junk when they can make it themselves just as easily? Maybe someone who doesn't know about AI, but that won't be something that lasts long.
I just use them as patterns on other sites to sell and have done good with the geese ones, but mostly that is what I do with AI just turn them into patterns, or stickers on redbubble or even zazzle.
This is great, but it doesn't fulfil the video's title; it doesn't show us HOW to get $300 per day. It doesn't even suggest that Sarah generated $300. Also, Sarah said you can make MORE profit by using the images on Print On Demand. Well, Print On Demand has very low profit margins. Most of people's high dollar amounts are revenue. After all costs and fees, it could even be $0 or negative. Potentially. Other than that, a well presented video. 😁
It's same style of videos, " you could potentially earn X by doing this..." But no real actionable steps to take as the variables are too great. It's the money formula of taking about earning money and not actually earning the money for said method. Rinse and repeat.
Just wondering, how much marketing do those top shops do to get people to come to their shops and see what they have? Seems to me, that's the hardest part, yeah?
I'm glad you brought up the resolution issue. As well as upscaling with AI, it's possible to covert bitmaps to vector graphics with free tools like Inkscape. Ukiyo-e sometimes have gradients that don't work well with this technique, but for some images that are mostly solid colors, it works great.
I want to say I'm sorry I have taken your videos for granted even though they show every often I watch however this is genius you increase my potential potential higher than I can imagine we'll get started immediately on using this product. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
When does this channel become Wholesale Sarah and not Wholesale Ted?? 😁😁 thank you Sarah. Helping to change lives. I only have time to catch up to what you find out there so it's great for motivation to check in and see what's next! G'day from over the ditch.
AI Art is a combination of Radom people’s art scrapped of the internet combined or melded to make new art. But really it is stealing please people support real artist.
is there a particular ai image enlarge site or application that you use ? I just got the 10k e-book and signed up for the ecomm clubhouse that was offered after i got the book
Thank you for this information. I am really excited about the possibility this offers. I am, however, confused about the rights to use the generated content for commercial products. You say that the user is given full rights to use the images however they like, including commercial use. But when looking over the info on their site I found the following paragraph, and it leaves me wondering if one really is allowed too use the output for commercial use Under "Additional policies": Use for non-commercial purposes: As this is an experimental research platform, users are not allowed to use generated images for commercial purposes. For example, users may not license, sell, trade, or otherwise transact on these image generations in any form, including through related assets such as NFTs. Users also may not serve these image generations to others through a web application or through other means of third-parties initiating a request. Does anyone have additional comments that may help clarify this?
Question. DALL E/DALL E 2 have colour bars on the images on the bottom-right hand corner. Is it a copyright thing or are we allowed to delete/crop it out before we sell?
I'm glad you included a video for us eComm Clubhouse members. This looks like another great income stream. So many possibilities. I signed up for your course a couple weeks ago. I'm having a lot of fun setting up a Shopify store. Still waiting for a few designs to come back from Fivver. But I am progressing along nicely. Thanks, Sarah for your videos.
Sarah, what about the copyrights of the original images that AI used as "inspiration" or to compose part of the newly created picture? How can I legally sell my creation if Dall-E used pieces of other copyrighted images to make it?
That's a myth a lot of people say: that DALL-E uses parts of other images to make new images. It's not true: it generates them entirely from scratch each time, just like if a human were to create an image pixel-by-pixel within photoshop. Except DALL-E is a computer, so it can do that within seconds.
@@WholesaleTed this might not be as true as you think - while it is true that the AI generators don’t use *parts* of existing images, what may be happening is that the AI is generating images that look waaaay too close to other existing images - e.g., some have found that prompting Midjourney for “afghan girl” brings up images that, though inexactly, very closely resemble Steve McCurry’s 1984 image “Afghan Girl” - more than close enough for a successful lawsuit if one of these generated images were to be used commercially without permission. This is “overfitting”, and it is likely that this happens way more than we currently are aware of with these AI generators.
The original comment I was replying to was about whether DALL-E uses "pieces" or pre-existing artwork to create images. That is a myth, they don't. It is uniquely generated pixel by pixel each time. Your comment regarding the fact that DALL-E can generate pictures similar to others is true: it can due to machine learning. Not because it's using pieces of the picture, but by the nature of AI trying to use it's knowledge bank to generate an image. It's very rare but indeed possible. That is part of their TOS/disclosure statement you have to agree too. I actually included it in this video too. Luckily though it's extremely easy to check if DALL-E has done this with any image before you use it though. You can just put the image in a Reverse Image Search Engine & see if it triggers anything 🙏
Dall-E utilises another OpenAI model called CLIP which is trained on caption and image pairs collected/scraped from the Internet. Whilst Dall-E does generate images, I would not class this as "from scratch" - I have a paid subscription and have seen Dall-E generate images with corrupted portions of artist's signatures or other watermarks present and Dall-E is not the only AI generator guilty of this.
I don't believe in the TOS you can ask for a famous or known person to use as your base. I might be wrong because I'm trying Midjourney and a couple others, but they tell you not to use such a person, the Mona Lisa would be fine, but not say Elvis.
Thanks for this video. How do you do to have multiple Dall-e accounts, when I register a seond one it ask for my phone verification, and an error apply. Do you have a trick ?
HELLO. I have a super important question. I want to start using the AI art to sell digital prints. I would like to know how and what sizes or formatting should I change the file to make sure the customer gets what they need to be able to have it printed correctly.
If you have an Etsy store that does things like t-shirts and clothes, do you recommend setting up a different shop for things like digital downloads and more graphic art? Or just put it all together?
It depends on the concept of your shop. As in what your shop is about if it's tailored to different types of things available in one place. Or one thing specifically.
@WholesaleTed..So does this allow a digital artist to include their signature on an AI creation if the piece is their own original idea, not a copy of some other painting or piece of art?
Madam , my question is , are these photos made by ai such as dale e or midjourney, ok with printing, Wont ot make them loose pixels, tell me the prompts so that they are ready for prints.
Regarding Etsy, way before AI art came on the scene, it was not allowed to sell "one click" art that could be produced by Photoshop actions for example. The shop owner had to have some kind of creative process. So why do you think Etsy will allow AI work to be sold?
Etsy's full of drop shippers and people flipping cheap stuff from Aliexpress. They don't care, sadly, because it's srill revenue. This is just another example of low effort, non-handmade goods on Etsy.
The lawsuits against AI are going to be interesting because they scrape images that are under copyright for learning on the algorithm. Which then is passed on to the user of AI as the copyright infringement. But proving it is another thing. And then there is the fact that AI datasets can be trained on your own artwork.
Have you heard of "Fair Use"? Just because images are copyrighted, doesn't mean they can't be used for legal purposes that meet Fair Use. Using images to train an AI is very clearly Fair Use, as it is a transformative purpose. To learn more about Fair Use, and why it is so important, I recommend reading the Wikipedia page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use
@@WholesaleTed "transformative" as you (and I, and the rest of us humans mean in ordinary, everyday speech) doesn't mean what "transformative" does in fair use-copyright-legalese - works (i'll call this one new) can only get away with using other unauthorized copyrighted works (and this one old, so i don't repeat "unauthorized" too many times more) when the new work is used in such a way that it doesn't infringe upon the old work's copyright - i.e., cannot be argued to financially damage the old work. i think we'd be pretty hard pressed to say that AI art would not financially damage the artists whose copyrighted work it was trained upon. you could (and many do) argue that every artist already does "financially damage" the work they trained themselves upon - but here's the thing: _(traditional) artists do not use -- literally use -- the actual existing images to make new works._ this probably sounds both obvious and incorrect, but that's the distinction here that i don't think we have an English word for - while artists 'use' images (among many other things - reference is probably a better word) to create new images, the AI *_needs_*_ to use -- to be trained upon -- existing images to create new images_ - and the usage of these images - the .jpegs, the .pngs, the literal 1s and 0s, the data that composes these images - is where the infringement comes in. assuming the American iteration, copyright law protects "the tangible form of expression" of works - and what else does AI use but these tangible forms? it absolutely can be argued that AI works get exemption due to the third point of fair use - the "amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole" (from copyright.gov again) of the original works in the AI generated image, and that's where the law has yet to catch up due to the tech being so new (even ignoring the fact that the AI art literally had to use existing work to produce a new image). however, i can definitely find a lawyer or three who can argue that the second and fourth points ("nature of the copyrighted work" and "effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work" (from copyright.gov once again) are enough to strike an AI generated work - though by here and beyond, it becomes more of an argument about the spirit of the law than the letter, and there's a reason why i'm not in law school.
Financially damaging an artist has nothing to do with whether something constitutes as Fair Use or not. I could use someone's art to critique them and damage their reputation as a result, causing them to lose money. I can also infringe on their copyrights without financially damaging them. It's not a requirement for or against Fair Use, so the truth is, I'm not quite sure why you're mentioning it. It currently constitutes as Fair Use.
@@WholesaleTed Are you saying that as long as it is "fair use", and it is not, it does not matter if the artist gets financially damaged? As an old follower, how can you say that? Or you really do not care about it and see it as such?
hi i just wanted to ask you for some help i want to get into affiliate marketing and i would like to do it with a website but unfortunately i have no money to start and i pay for a web host so could you help me? please.
Regardless of how these AI generate images, it is very plain to see the market is quickly becoming saturated with people imitating the work of artists. Art is more than just an end product for many artists, it's a thing that we do. Its a process that is cultivated, practiced, learned, and slowly crafted after countless hours to develop a visual language. The way the vast majority of artists learn is the same way AI does, but humans are learning the visual vocabulary and creating their own voice. To communcate visually. Style is a difficult thing to quantify or even articulate how deeply personal it is to most people. It's a continuously evolving the process of creating each sketch, painting, or photo, that accumulates emotional weight. So when artists share these pieces, they are sharing a very intimate part of themselves. Style is an artist's voice. Style can't be copyrighted, but that doesn't make the act of mimicking them with AI any less disturbing. AI generators are an amazing technology, but encouraging people to use it to make money like this is giving the green light to bad actors to profit off of someone else's voice. Right now, artists are being harrasses by images that are a warped reflection of the years they have dedicated to crafting a very real part of who they are. It doesn't just diminish their work in terms of monotary value, but also as people. Art isn't just something we want to sell, but a piece of ourselves we a share with others.
Minh P, the way you and many artists describe how you communicate deeply personal feelings through your art is frankly (laughable) a waste of your talents because viewers of your art aren't going to appreciate or 'feel' any of that. People look at art and extrapolate their own reactions from it. You're better off writing to express yourself to be heard. Frankly, your type of artists are (in your own dream world) wasting your time. No one viewing your art cares about the intimate parts of you and whether you got them in. For God's sake, does your art have hidden messages and weirdness that we have to 'get'? It's pictures. Just pictures. AI is just another tool, albeit an amazing tool that creates art out of an idea. Pretty much like you do. You get an idea. The AI gets its idea, it's called a prompt. And creates art. As for copying all the art works in existence. Well, aren't all artists inspired by the art they've looked at. A bit this person's style, a bit of that style, Oh I like how she does skies. And the only thing, at this early stage missing from the AI is the ability to come up with its own style, which is what humans do. But maybe that's the next 'thing' - you get the AI to create a scene that is inspired by six different artists to conjure up something original! Oh, and Wholesale Ted is one of the best communicators on CZcams, so the haters can stop it. She's lovely.
@@BearBrave-wk3sy You can say that about anything that interests people, people who like wine and enjoying the tasting process? who cares its just alcohol people who like sports and watching it? who cares its just rich people running with a ball people who like video games? who cares its just a bunch of pixels people who like music? who cares its just noise people who like art? who cares its just pictures YOU may not care but people who like art care. Imagine devoting your life in studying art just to be ripped off by an AI. They aren't appreciated as we speak let alone when the AI becomes the norm. Now I understand if you are talking about the people that put 2 dots on a huge canvas and call it art, thats bs. Have a nice day.
I was in my art nutshell when I get the AI news. My heart is weeping but imiginatly I reminded of the era when these Adobe software's or coral draw like software's harasses the true artists and are the actual reason why people are print addict they don't have soul to feel original art.
How do you have to edit the photos you generate on dall-e before posting them on etsy for selling them to print on paper, or selling them to print on t-shirts?
Every piece of art that is generated with DALLE has 5 small color cubes in the bottom right corner. Is there anyway to remove this or have the art generated without those color cubes? Thanks

One of the Ukiyo-e images that you showed was pretty explicit. your content is usually pretty clean, so not sure if you realized that was in there or not. Just wanted to let you know.
Your way of speaking in general was pretty hurtful to my ears 2 years ago and then 1 year ago, but... I must admit that you really improved your way of speaking and while your movies were informative back then but infuriating on your presence side, now they're not only better told but also contain much more valuable information. It's a very nice addition to see tht you're constantly riding your waves and you're owning them instead of just floating on their surface. I truly wish you much more money and even more satisfaction from it.
Sincere 'thank you' from Poland.

The T is silent in Christmas.
AI art just frustrates me so much, shitting on the talent and man hours that goes into producing high quality art, going to put creatives out of a job so people can make more profit
Right, asides from the fact it is in fact IP THEFT. Use without permission. I mean, to those who want to, by all means use it, but do so with YOUR OWN WORK! Figure out your own unique style, do not COPY AND STEAL from the work of others.
Just to clarify, a "signature art style" is not protected by copyrights and is not a form of intellectual property and is not IP theft. Anyone is allowed to draw/paint etc in any "style" that they want: www.thelegalartist.com/blog/you-cant-copyright-style
If "styles" were copyrighted, it would mean then that many forms of art could not exist. For example, all artists who wish to paint in a realism style now could not, for only one person would ever be allowed to do that, which would make no sense.
Everyone, including AI, is allowed to draw in any "style" that they want - there is no copyright protection and it is not an IP.
@@WholesaleTed Article you put is talking about HUMANS , not machines. AI cannot draw, it can generate images based on whever you put in the database, it is not drawing. Putting copyrighted images into a software should be illegal and I sincerly hope there will be some laws placed soon regarding the issue. Whatever image ai will spit out is not yours, you didnt make it so you have no rights to it. I can sell exact same image you will generate since it's not copyrighted.
It's so sad how everyone wants to be an artist yet they have no respect to actual artists. It's disgusting
If you want to be an artist so much just grab a pencil and learn how to draw.
@@WholesaleTed its not about style. Its not about its not art. Its not about its allowed or not. Its about art ethic. Right now it's allowed. But soon it will not be. You of course only care about profit and set aside the ethic.
I really hope things are changing with the movement that C.A.A do. Its already ground on serious matters for us artist and have no doubt that this won't stay as it is.
People can be really selfish when it comes to this. All they want is more money but no real meaning to it.
As an artist who has spent the better part of my life refining and developing my skills, this is incredibly sad :(
You're still better than ai because you've feelings and best art comes from the feeling, I'm sure if you use these ai you can create more than a common person creates. So you're always on top dude
You have soul dude. There will always be a place for sincere artists. Your audience will find you, don't get disheartened. AI is just another tool
AI creates products. It can't pour meaning or feelings behind aesthetic decisions. You can. You make art
I will pay for your art and not from a seller that got his art for free in seconds
@@asimhero2057
No Bot can speak like a human.

AI, wrongly called art, is for free or for some bucks. But my Art is for
hundreds maybe thousands of dollars. because it's the real and the Original Art.
as an artist who has struggled to get clients this hurts.
Yeah same
This video, this lady actually telling people to sell unethical art. Its so heart breaking that people who claimed to be "artist" sells money by contributing to a machine that constantly stealing an identity from a real artist.
But fellow Real artist! Good news!
Thankfully, recently there's a big movement on implementing a lawsuit against people like this.
Go search : Protecting artist from AI Technologies by Concept Art Association
This is a huge movement for us. 65k USD is already donated within 2 days. Its gonna be interesting to see how ironic this video will be
@@syafiqahasseggaf there has been someone who sayd that someone want's to make they portfolio by using an AI. I just sad.
To me, the best thing about doing art is the process of it. Although making art takes a long time, it is soothing and the longer you work on it, the more meaning it gets. But now, people type stuff and it is all meaningless. Quite a shame if you ask me.
As an artist, AI is terrifying to me lol.
I think AI Art will be an incredible tool in the future for artists to help speed up some of their work if they choose to use it. You can use it to generate parts of it, and then modify/expand it yourself 🌞
@@WholesaleTed that’s true!
As an artist, AI makes me work faster
@@WholesaleTed Please look more into it before promoting such thing !
photography was terrifying for painters at that time
This makes me so sad for the future of actual artists using their hard practiced skills
What's also worse is that digital artists make more money than traditional artists who put the work in.
@@odesamusic already happened now we got ai that writes stories
its like handcrafted bread vs factory made, you can buy a factory one on every corner store, but there is a reason bakery made has more value
As someone with art as a persuit, yeah, it's so depressing. We are in the process of a race to the bottom with videos like this.
@@Golden504 I think the future is going to be ai pretty much. Soon we'll have ai robots flipping our hamburgers.
we already know how bad AI art is for artists but another point is that it's also lowering art prices like crazy. People don't understand how much it takes to create a true art piece: time, skills, materials, ideas etc and some people are already contrary to paying an artist what they actually should. Now, with AI art that people sell for 5$ a piece (because they didn't put any effort into it), it will become normal to spend that low for an art piece. it's crazy and very sad.
AI generated art always has some degree of randomness in it. These processes won’t take anything away because demand for custom work or in general human inspiration will always be there, even when the two will get indistinguishable. The AI doesn’t know what is gonna generate, you will that’s the difference.
At least bad artists that do degeneracy like furry will not get paid.
Art is meaningless.
@@uwotmate-d3mjust like your life 😢
i struggle as an artist. i make about 2 or 3 dollars on a sale if i make one. hours upon hours of painting. now a stupid app makes pictures into digital art in seconds. LIKE IT WASNT HARD ENOUGH TO BE AN ARTIST.
Many struggle as an artist, even myself when I first started. The phrase "Struggling Artist" has been here for centuries. Adapt or get left behind. Use AI to your benefit.
@@HokkaidoSan i do digital paintings...thats enough adapting for me, thanks.
As much as I am astonished by this AI generated "art" or should I say pixels (I have to admit I had quite fun testing some promts), I believe we will slowly loose touch with or own human creativity/life force, if we are going down further this road. As many other people and especially artists wrote in the comments: these images are mixed and made out of the real talented minds, humans, people, maybe your friend or family relative who spend hours, if not even months or years, to channel and express the wonders of life into something that would impact and touch peoples hearts. By that we denial the credit & respect to those important individuals and what they do for our health and culture.
To sell those 10sec generated "artworks" to people for ridiculously high prices seems more than morally reprehensible, even though it seems tempting in times, where we all have to pay increasingly large bills.
Much respect & love to all the true artists out there 🙏🏻❤️
People still respect the real thing and are willing to pay more to support creators. Usually an artist sells his/her work at high prices through reputation and marketing. That takes time and can't really be replicated. Basically art without a personality with it is going to get CHEAP because with these AI systems, the supply is about to skyrocket.
RIP artists... Join me on the catwalk in the wharehouse... Before robots will get this job before you. LOl
Personally I'd pay WAY more for an actual custom piece, like really good artists, specifically ones that draw furry art, make bank even with this out. So, IDK
Beautifully said. I am a musician (we are also impacted by AI already) and what's happening with AI is worrisome. Even if we forget the business aspect of being an artist and making a living out of this, I am also thinking about ridding our lives of creativity and what impact it will have on us as a society. Imagine, soon to be born kids will not understand why they should spend hours getting good at something if they can generate everything online. Creativity and what we get thanks to the process is one of the best mental health meds!
@@JoannaLero Thank you! :)
Yes, I often imagine how the world must be for the new generation without any reference point to the old "analog".
The dark side of this is that I know many artists whose work is being swiped by Ai softwares in general, then using it produce a version of their work for other people. It's HORRIBLE. It's ruining the lives of well known artists because at this point they are powerless to do anything about it. Someone even had artwork swiped from her BOOK! IF you have a conscience at all, it's time to rethink this until these kinks are ironed out.
100% agree with this
All ai art legally has no copyright, so anyone could just copy all listings from anyone using ai generated images. I hope predatory sellers get their listings copied
Unfortunately people have always stolen other people's work and tried to pass it off as their own. It doesn't matter if they are using ai or copying it manually on photoshop or procreate, it's the same thing, and it should be treated the same way. Plagiarism is plagiarism, no matter what the medium is.
I saw a lot of people get procreate and decide to start business copying other people's work and photographs, and it's exactly the same thing as this, and it all needs to be treated in the same way, it's theft.
AI is not the problem, people using it irresponsibly is. And that’s exactly what this person is influencing people to do imo. Very powerful and very useful tech but we must remind ourselves to be kind and not let pure greed be the sole driver of our decisions when using it.
There is a bizarre myth going around that DALL-E is "stitching together images" - it is not. It is generating them completely from scratch. They are original images, and it does it through this method: czcams.com/video/1CIpzeNxIhU/video.html
The myth seems to come from the fact that, especially earlier on in it's life, DALL-E would sometimes generate watermarks that looked similar to say, Shutterstock watermarks. That isn't because it was stitching together Shutterstock images. It's because it was mistaking that as being a normal part of the image. They made modifications to DALL-E to teach it that the watermark isn't part of the image.
Despite that, this myth still exists, and people still state it as though it is true.
As an artist, I’m appalled by this 😢
People might want to read the terms and services of the AI software they are using. Several of them reserve the copyright of what you create, others give you the copyright while reserving a sub-license. What that means is they get to use it however they want, you may not be allowed to sell them, and in the case of sub-licenses, they get to use it but you take responsibility for it. In the recent copyright argument and class action lawsuits, that may be a very bad thing.
Also; if anyone is interested, I recently found out that as of several months ago the US Copyright Office will not issue copyright for AI generated images. There is no process for it in their files and it needs to be decided upon in Congress before they can issue one. So regardless of what the TOS says, you are creating product for the owners of these engines.
Read the articles I posted. I would have legal help behind me if I decided to do this. There will be lawsuits over this kind of business. Even Getty Images is refusing to use or sell them.
There was a story on NBC news on 12/9/2022 about Lensa A.I. avatar art. They said the same thing about copyright concerns. And security concerns as well. A security expert said you could be compromised regarding your images being used for facial recognition. The news story video is on CZcams.
@@JMulvy they already gave copyright to AI art
Dall e 2 is open source. I bet your doing this and trying to cut competition out by spreading fear good job but not valid
It takes me 8+ hours to paint an original work (from my own thought process without technology) not to mention the time to photograph it, frame it etc or seal it so it is ready for sale. Then I put it online and AI steals it based on a user generated search but changes a few things and there you have a 5 minute or less hack that makes the user millions and me nothing for the original.
that’s not how it works 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's not how it works. Plus you're nobody online. No AI or person is stealing your art style lol
The second half doesn't make sense.
Yea bro it's not how it works, until someone takes your artwork then upload it to img2img and call it theirs
I think technology needs to be updated and protect artists more by NFT codes.
Hello from Texas I have many Digital images that I have created over the last five years and been feeling kind of stuck in a rut not selling them or printing them,way too expensive! Thank you for explaining Dall-E I’m really excited to use it! Who knows what the future holds🇺🇸
Excellent and inspirational video as always!
Do you know if you are allowed to alter images, ie make collages out of Dall-e images?
Thanks for all the great content!
Yes you are! There is an example of someone doing that in this video: czcams.com/video/TYCNoN9OQww/video.html
Thank you, that was a great video. I've been thinking about starting my own print on demand business.
I have a question! What do you mean when you say,
¿but do you retain the rights to use the artwork when necessary to maintain the operation of your services?
I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing all this info with us, in whatever accent your little, generous heart desires.... this grandmother gratefully takes as much of your advice as I possibly can manage. :) Much more success to you my dear.
Thank you for this! I love your videos and the transparency you always give ❤️
Great inspirational video! I just opened a digital shop on Etsy but haven’t uploaded yet. Can I be successful just creating SVG or png files, or do I need to do both plus jpg, eps, dxf etc?
2 or 3 best performing etsy shops are not representative. I want to know how many are there TOTAL image shops on etsy and what are their average profits?
Hi Sarah. Great video as always. Just one minor thing - how much of this is easily possible using the free accounts of things like Alura and Printify or the free credits available or ideally does one have to upgrade to a paid account of these services? Thank you from Auckland NZ.
Alura isn't free - it's also not required to start a store at all. I use Alura as part of my video to show profits, but you can just easily see what products are popular on Etsy for free, by seeing which products have lots of reviews, which you can check just by clicking around Etsy and browsing yourself.
I discuss how to set up an Etsy Printify store for free in this video tutorial, I hope it can help you: czcams.com/video/7ZlZFPBWC74/video.html
Hello Sara, do you have a video where you explain if we need to officially registrate before to start selling by amazon fba, or print on demand or dropssipping? To start the courses you propose do I need already been registrated as entrepreneur? Thx in advance Sara
Thanks for the always great info. I was watching while falling asleep last night, so I had to go back and grab the website links. Been having fun generating some pictures.
Sweet I just started doing this about a week ago!! Good to see I'm hopefully doing something right..
That was very useful for a reason completely different to what you probably intended it for. Thank you.
you know artist don’t even make that much money normally right? What make you think some congeal shit from an AI will net you passive income?
found this on the t&c page od dall-e : Use for non-commercial purposes: As this is an experimental research platform, users are not allowed to use generated images for commercial purposes. For example, users may not license, sell, trade, or otherwise transact on these image generations in any form, including through related assets such as NFTs. Users also may not serve these image generations to others through a web application or through other means of third-parties initiating a request.
People keep quoting that page - it's outdated & poorly written. DALL-E have clarified recently many times, including this week that you can use the images for commercial purposes. This is their LATEST update to their FAQ on the matter: help.openai.com/en/articles/6468065-dall-e-content-policy-faq
"Can I use DALL·E for commercial uses, including NFTs and freelancing? - Yes."
"Can I sell DALL·E generations I created during the research preview?" - Yes."
"Can I remove the watermark? - Yes."
Can we use DALLE for affiliate marketing?
I tried Dall-e and sometimes it did alright and sometimes the art was so bad that I doubt anyone would buy it. I typed in Stegosaurus riding a skateboard and Dall-e generated a bunch of mutated weird dinosaur looking things with broken skateboards that looked like it was drawn by a 5 year old child. So even if it can generate images those will likely still have to be edited by an artist to look good.
Hello! Thanks for the info! As I was looking for images, I noticed colorful little squares at the bottom right corners..For that bottom colorful watermark, would we just have to crop that out?
Thank you very informative, one the best videos you have done, I have learnt a lot of useful information to help with my Ai, never heard of the Dal one will try.
how do you remove the four square in the corner of the Ai photo if its in your image
So now talentless people can make money from art they don't make.
Phew, what a time to be alive
Yeap, by stealing - “it’s legal, just copy someone’s else’s SIGNATURE STYLE that you like”. Hahahaa
Do people REALLY THINK THIS IS OK? 😮 Do people really think the artist whose work you’re copying is happy for you to do so? And you dont even need to ask for their permission?? Do you not think there are going to be repercussions down the line? USE YOUR OWN WORK, put in the hard yards and figure out your own unique style.
use ai to your advantage or get left behind in the dark bitching about it it is your own choice
Using ai does not exactly give off the same feeling as the traditional art does. I call it lazy and just trying to gain profit and profit.
Imagine an artist who spends tens of thousands of hours practicing and developing a unique style only to have someone start making pictures by the second, potentially millions of variations that all look like the artist's work, and the artist inadvertently creates works in their own style but looks too much like works in the vast database of copies in the AI "Artist's" hard drive and gets sued by the AI "artist" for infringing on their intellectual property because the artist made something that wasn't transformative enough and it looks just like AI "artist's" work because it was made in the style of the original artist.
Yeah, it's not like AI creates original artwork really. It just sees what is already out there from images on the web and from other "real" artists works and then reconfigures it. This is NOT real art. It is more like theft if it is taking images from sources that are not open source or offered as free images.
Its not that easy really lol theres skill needed when it comes to prompt
Eh, that's their bad for choosing that profession. Technology is just gonna keep getting better and better. 🤷🏾♀️
@@cholou1 It's about a million times easier than becoming a skillful artist and developing your own style
Original artist needs to date the art through notary if physical image, or creating a web page with the digital image, artist information, then post in several archive websites for date purposes. All AI art is datestamped, so the original artist's date of archival proves beyond a doubt who is the originator.
With the number of views these videos get, this craft will be completely oversaturated in no time.
Not necessarily, there is a huge for AI art and many ppl out there who rather just buy them instead of making them. In time it will die down bt for now I have to disagree with you, I've seen certain accounts on various platforms and many are making over $5K a month from AI art alone 😊
Oh I forgot to say how BEAUTIFUL you are ❤️❤️❤️😁

I messed around with Midjourney, haven’t tried Dalle2 yet. The problem is when people want to print them into say posters the art isn’t clear, it’s blurred. How do you get around this?
She covers this in the 3rd chapter. Ai photo enlarger software
@@tobydobo4080 thankyou I saw this but because it’s bigger the quality is then usually bad
Or just, you know, pay a living artist a flat fee to license work for printing to compensate them for their time and skill, instead of giving text prompts to a bot who stole the art from those artists anyway.
^ THIS. Recommending everyone use this poorly-generated AI art INSTEAD of supporting local artists is major cringe.
Let’s call it what it is: IP theft. ‘Their’ work is not possible without the style cue from the stolen without permission artwork. After all, what is it that artists strive for? A RECOGNISABLE AND UNIQUE STYLE of their own. It can take years to develop this.
To those thinking of using AI: USE YOUR OWN DRAWINGS, DONT STEAL THE USE OF OTHERS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Just to clarify, a "signature art style" is not protected by copyrights and is not a form of intellectual property. Anyone is allowed to draw/paint etc in any "style" that they want: www.thelegalartist.com/blog/you-cant-copyright-style
If "styles" were copyrighted, it would mean then that many forms of art could not exist. For example, all artists who wish to paint in a realism style now could not, for only one person would ever be allowed to do that, which would make no sense.
Everyone, including AI, is allowed to draw in any "style" that they want - there is no copyright protection and it is not an IP.
DALLE-2 ai tool places a watermark in every picture it creates. Are you legally alowed to remove the watermark and use the picture or do you need to keep the watermark there?
"Great I no longer have to pay the person that actually put their time and effort learning how to and then creating art for me. I just type words and I can take away their money" awese video...
My thoughts exactly. Especially since this program doesn’t create “new” art. It pieces together existing art which is why you see a watermark or signature from time to time. Sad. However, Shutterstock partnered with DALLE to ethically create AI art via the Shutterstock website where artists will get paid. Ethical AI option.
so you're telling me that if i spend all day making ai art and adapting prompts, that i put no effort into making the art? you're fkn ignorant and retarded to say such things...
@@emily00firebomb I hadn't heard those two partnered together, that is good. I have no issue with AI being trained on images that are ethically sourced and artists/contributors get paid, that is the way they ALL should have been trained.
im just saying if your not gona be able to deal with ai and robots i feel bad for you because every year more and more ai and more stuff will get replaced
180k etsy accounts just started after this video lol. There won't be any one to buy the art, just people selling. 😂
Yeah, why would anyone buy someone elses stuff if they can just have an AI make it themselves? Etsy used be be a good place to support real artists.

Love this. Thank you! This makes me want to try print on demand again.
when using Dall-E, do you include the watermark on the lower right corner when you sell?
Yes, then you sell it on your shopify site with only $5 in FB ad`s and make 40k p/m, understand?
You're allowed to remove the watermark, ignore the person above.
crop it out
us AI to remove to watermark lol
the AI images are not protected by copyright.
Thanks for all your great advice! As an artist and print on demand designer I'm very excited about this new frontier of AI art!
WOW! Thanks for the awesome video. Do you know of any sites that have public-domain artwork that can be used to create items for resale purposes?
THIS IS AN AMAZING FIND!!!!!!!!!! CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR REVEALING THIS TECHNIQUE, this is gonna help soooo much. :)
This video is gonna trigger so many artist. It's not so much the ai is stealing from art itself, But the Ai learned from the art and now the ai is kicking the artist butts at their job and eating a large slice of the pie.
It forces artist to create art in a non-creative way. I personally enjoy it but i'm not a "real artist". I can draw well and have lots of art skills but I'm not super attached to the process of making art. If I could press a button and get the image in my brain onto the canvas saving 100s of hours of time and energy I would love that. But I still respect that for some people, The act of making the art slowly is an art in itself.
It’s only legal for now. And it shouldn’t be. Musicians must pay to legally use a sample from another song, but AI art using other artists pieces to articulate an artwork doesn’t require a contribution?
It’s harder than ever to win against technology, and people who come up with how to monetize it think that justifies their greed.
I think it depends. Take the Japanese art style discussed here. How can a human artist learn the style without studying and to a degree copying the style of the old masters of the art? Who would the contribution be paid to when someone copies the style of Da Vinci?
Even with a contemporary artist, if an art student sits for hours studying the style in a gallery are they required to pay the artist? I can see some interesting court cases possibly on the horizon though.
I actually don't think there will be any court cases in the future in regards to that, because it's already been litigated & the courts have decided that art styles can't be copyrighted, so anyone can use any art style they like. Otherwise you can just imagine how many artists would be sued for painting in a Realism style! 😉 www.thelegalartist.com/blog/you-cant-copyright-style

Think about the fact that she makes a video about making money instead of making the ai art for herself and then sell it. Now ask yourself how does she make more money? With CZcams or with selling ai art?
That's what most of these videos/books/articles are doing. They're telling you 'free/easy money', but they're making their money off ads from the video/book/article.
Why would people pay for this AI art junk when they can make it themselves just as easily? Maybe someone who doesn't know about AI, but that won't be something that lasts long.
I just use them as patterns on other sites to sell and have done good with the geese ones, but mostly that is what I do with AI just turn them into patterns, or stickers on redbubble or even zazzle.
Thank you for the yet another amazing video. How do you get rid of the watermark on the platform? If you pay, does the watermark go away?
Well, I figured out an easy solution. Didn't even need to use AI to find it.
This is great, but it doesn't fulfil the video's title; it doesn't show us HOW to get $300 per day. It doesn't even suggest that Sarah generated $300. Also, Sarah said you can make MORE profit by using the images on Print On Demand. Well, Print On Demand has very low profit margins. Most of people's high dollar amounts are revenue. After all costs and fees, it could even be $0 or negative. Potentially. Other than that, a well presented video. 😁
It's same style of videos, " you could potentially earn X by doing this..."
But no real actionable steps to take as the variables are too great. It's the money formula of taking about earning money and not actually earning the money for said method. Rinse and repeat.
$ 300 per year is more realistic! I earn 30 $ per month with 10,000 pictures online! if you don't pay to promote your products nobody will see them
@@CrimsonCrystalRosesplease explain..you do what she explained? You Post printable images on Etsy and Shopify?
I always come away from your videos completely gob-smacked... You are so inspiring!
Hii, I am your new subscriber and very happy that i found you 💫
Just wondering, how much marketing do those top shops do to get people to come to their shops and see what they have? Seems to me, that's the hardest part, yeah?
I need to give this a try. Watched a number of your videos but still to actually take the leap and start a p-o-d business.
Did it work?
I'm glad you brought up the resolution issue. As well as upscaling with AI, it's possible to covert bitmaps to vector graphics with free tools like Inkscape. Ukiyo-e sometimes have gradients that don't work well with this technique, but for some images that are mostly solid colors, it works great.
That is a really great tip, thank you so much for sharing 🙏
thank you very much
I want to say I'm sorry I have taken your videos for granted even though they show every often I watch however this is genius you increase my potential potential higher than I can imagine we'll get started immediately on using this product. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
When does this channel become Wholesale Sarah and not Wholesale Ted?? 😁😁 thank you Sarah. Helping to change lives. I only have time to catch up to what you find out there so it's great for motivation to check in and see what's next! G'day from over the ditch.
I really appreciate the content you share. I never would have thought to check into AI artist/graphic programs. Thank you
I can give you a better, more ethical, and fullfiling advice. It's leran to draw.
AI Art is a combination of Radom people’s art scrapped of the internet combined or melded to make new art. But really it is stealing please people support real artist.
Hello Sarah,
Is your online courses are updated with the last information on the market? Or its still the same since the creation?
Thanks
is there a particular ai image enlarge site or application that you use ?
I just got the 10k e-book and signed up for the ecomm clubhouse that was offered after i got the book
Thank you I hope both of them can help you! Yes, at the end of the video I discuss AI Image Enlarger.
I think this is against copyright
Thank you for this information. I am really excited about the possibility this offers.
I am, however, confused about the rights to use the generated content for commercial products. You say that the user is given full rights to use the images however they like, including commercial use. But when looking over the info on their site I found the following paragraph, and it leaves me wondering if one really is allowed too use the output for commercial use
Under "Additional policies":
Use for non-commercial purposes: As this is an experimental research platform, users are not allowed to use generated images for commercial purposes. For example, users may not license, sell, trade, or otherwise transact on these image generations in any form, including through related assets such as NFTs. Users also may not serve these image generations to others through a web application or through other means of third-parties initiating a request.
Does anyone have additional comments that may help clarify this?
Seems pretty clear to me 😁 It's not legal..
Gotta take into consideration that things legal in one country may or may not be legal in new Zealand
I’m glad you posted this info for awareness
This video is useless then
Question. DALL E/DALL E 2 have colour bars on the images on the bottom-right hand corner. Is it a copyright thing or are we allowed to delete/crop it out before we sell?
wondering the same thing a response would be great
I'm glad you included a video for us eComm Clubhouse members. This looks like another great income stream. So many possibilities. I signed up for your course a couple weeks ago. I'm having a lot of fun setting up a Shopify store. Still waiting for a few designs to come back from Fivver. But I am progressing along nicely. Thanks, Sarah for your videos.
Hello, anybody knows what the size of the image can go (in cm) with clear resolution after the 800% enlarge? Thx.
1st comment!
Always love to see a new video sarah!
I want dancing videos again! 😅
They will have to make a comeback!
Sarah, what about the copyrights of the original images that AI used as "inspiration" or to compose part of the newly created picture? How can I legally sell my creation if Dall-E used pieces of other copyrighted images to make it?
That's a myth a lot of people say: that DALL-E uses parts of other images to make new images. It's not true: it generates them entirely from scratch each time, just like if a human were to create an image pixel-by-pixel within photoshop. Except DALL-E is a computer, so it can do that within seconds.
@@WholesaleTed this might not be as true as you think - while it is true that the AI generators don’t use *parts* of existing images, what may be happening is that the AI is generating images that look waaaay too close to other existing images - e.g., some have found that prompting Midjourney for “afghan girl” brings up images that, though inexactly, very closely resemble Steve McCurry’s 1984 image “Afghan Girl” - more than close enough for a successful lawsuit if one of these generated images were to be used commercially without permission. This is “overfitting”, and it is likely that this happens way more than we currently are aware of with these AI generators.
The original comment I was replying to was about whether DALL-E uses "pieces" or pre-existing artwork to create images. That is a myth, they don't. It is uniquely generated pixel by pixel each time. Your comment regarding the fact that DALL-E can generate pictures similar to others is true: it can due to machine learning. Not because it's using pieces of the picture, but by the nature of AI trying to use it's knowledge bank to generate an image. It's very rare but indeed possible. That is part of their TOS/disclosure statement you have to agree too. I actually included it in this video too. Luckily though it's extremely easy to check if DALL-E has done this with any image before you use it though. You can just put the image in a Reverse Image Search Engine & see if it triggers anything 🙏
Dall-E utilises another OpenAI model called CLIP which is trained on caption and image pairs collected/scraped from the Internet. Whilst Dall-E does generate images, I would not class this as "from scratch" - I have a paid subscription and have seen Dall-E generate images with corrupted portions of artist's signatures or other watermarks present and Dall-E is not the only AI generator guilty of this.
I don't believe in the TOS you can ask for a famous or known person to use as your base. I might be wrong because I'm trying Midjourney and a couple others, but they tell you not to use such a person, the Mona Lisa would be fine, but not say Elvis.
In the ai image enlarger, what size would I need if I was putting the image on t-shirts?
Thanks! Love your channel!
QUESTION! when I'm selling this on Etsy do I have to package the orders or Etsy do it for me?
What tool are you using for ecom research? How are you able to see which products are most popular so quickly?
You really are the best. Thanks for making this, I've got a little bit of hope today that I'll be able to get something selling!
Thanks for this video.
How do you do to have multiple Dall-e accounts, when I register a seond one it ask for my phone verification, and an error apply. Do you have a trick ?
HELLO. I have a super important question. I want to start using the AI art to sell digital prints. I would like to know how and what sizes or formatting should I change the file to make sure the customer gets what they need to be able to have it printed correctly.
If you have an Etsy store that does things like t-shirts and clothes, do you recommend setting up a different shop for things like digital downloads and more graphic art? Or just put it all together?
It depends on the concept of your shop. As in what your shop is about if it's tailored to different types of things available in one place. Or one thing specifically.
Thank you for sharing this valuable content. It's inspired me to build my own brand soon! Luv your content so so much 💕❤️
@WholesaleTed..So does this allow a digital artist to include their signature on an AI creation if the piece is their own original idea, not a copy of some other painting or piece of art?
I'm in love with your accent. thank you for the info and stay safe.
Thank you! I’ve followed you for a long time. Nervous about starting. I trust you though you’ve stayed the same! Thank you.
Thank you Sarah for another genius video! You are so helpful! 😊
Awesome!! Love your work. That's one of the most honest videos I have seen.
Madam , my question is , are these photos made by ai such as dale e or midjourney, ok with printing, Wont ot make them loose pixels, tell me the prompts so that they are ready for prints.
Regarding Etsy, way before AI art came on the scene, it was not allowed to sell "one click" art that could be produced by Photoshop actions for example. The shop owner had to have some kind of creative process. So why do you think Etsy will allow AI work to be sold?
How would they know?
Etsy's full of drop shippers and people flipping cheap stuff from Aliexpress. They don't care, sadly, because it's srill revenue. This is just another example of low effort, non-handmade goods on Etsy.
They do allow A.I. art and even have a category for it.
@@Lissbirds In other words, more opportunities to make money
@@SunnyGirlFlorida it's a shame.
The lawsuits against AI are going to be interesting because they scrape images that are under copyright for learning on the algorithm.
Which then is passed on to the user of AI as the copyright infringement.
But proving it is another thing.
And then there is the fact that AI datasets can be trained on your own artwork.
Have you heard of "Fair Use"? Just because images are copyrighted, doesn't mean they can't be used for legal purposes that meet Fair Use. Using images to train an AI is very clearly Fair Use, as it is a transformative purpose. To learn more about Fair Use, and why it is so important, I recommend reading the Wikipedia page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use
@@WholesaleTed "transformative" as you (and I, and the rest of us humans mean in ordinary, everyday speech) doesn't mean what "transformative" does in fair use-copyright-legalese - works (i'll call this one new) can only get away with using other unauthorized copyrighted works (and this one old, so i don't repeat "unauthorized" too many times more) when the new work is used in such a way that it doesn't infringe upon the old work's copyright - i.e., cannot be argued to financially damage the old work. i think we'd be pretty hard pressed to say that AI art would not financially damage the artists whose copyrighted work it was trained upon.
you could (and many do) argue that every artist already does "financially damage" the work they trained themselves upon - but here's the thing: _(traditional) artists do not use -- literally use -- the actual existing images to make new works._ this probably sounds both obvious and incorrect, but that's the distinction here that i don't think we have an English word for - while artists 'use' images (among many other things - reference is probably a better word) to create new images, the AI *_needs_*_ to use -- to be trained upon -- existing images to create new images_ - and the usage of these images - the .jpegs, the .pngs, the literal 1s and 0s, the data that composes these images - is where the infringement comes in. assuming the American iteration, copyright law protects "the tangible form of expression" of works - and what else does AI use but these tangible forms?
it absolutely can be argued that AI works get exemption due to the third point of fair use - the "amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole" (from copyright.gov again) of the original works in the AI generated image, and that's where the law has yet to catch up due to the tech being so new (even ignoring the fact that the AI art literally had to use existing work to produce a new image). however, i can definitely find a lawyer or three who can argue that the second and fourth points ("nature of the copyrighted work" and "effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work" (from copyright.gov once again) are enough to strike an AI generated work - though by here and beyond, it becomes more of an argument about the spirit of the law than the letter, and there's a reason why i'm not in law school.
Financially damaging an artist has nothing to do with whether something constitutes as Fair Use or not. I could use someone's art to critique them and damage their reputation as a result, causing them to lose money. I can also infringe on their copyrights without financially damaging them. It's not a requirement for or against Fair Use, so the truth is, I'm not quite sure why you're mentioning it. It currently constitutes as Fair Use.
@@WholesaleTed Are you saying that as long as it is "fair use", and it is not, it does not matter if the artist gets financially damaged?
As an old follower, how can you say that? Or you really do not care about it and see it as such?
You said it on your video, you dont need to buy nothing from them ever again, zero dollars, because somebody is already damaging them.
Wow!!! So exciting!
Thank you❤️

hi i just wanted to ask you for some help i want to get into affiliate marketing and i would like to do it with a website but unfortunately i have no money to start and i pay for a web host so could you help me? please.
Regardless of how these AI generate images, it is very plain to see the market is quickly becoming saturated with people imitating the work of artists.
Art is more than just an end product for many artists, it's a thing that we do. Its a process that is cultivated, practiced, learned, and slowly crafted after countless hours to develop a visual language. The way the vast majority of artists learn is the same way AI does, but humans are learning the visual vocabulary and creating their own voice. To communcate visually. Style is a difficult thing to quantify or even articulate how deeply personal it is to most people. It's a continuously evolving the process of creating each sketch, painting, or photo, that accumulates emotional weight. So when artists share these pieces, they are sharing a very intimate part of themselves.
Style is an artist's voice.
Style can't be copyrighted, but that doesn't make the act of mimicking them with AI any less disturbing.
AI generators are an amazing technology, but encouraging people to use it to make money like this is giving the green light to bad actors to profit off of someone else's voice. Right now, artists are being harrasses by images that are a warped reflection of the years they have dedicated to crafting a very real part of who they are. It doesn't just diminish their work in terms of monotary value, but also as people. Art isn't just something we want to sell, but a piece of ourselves we a share with others.
Minh P, the way you and many artists describe how you communicate deeply personal feelings through your art is frankly (laughable) a waste of your talents because viewers of your art aren't going to appreciate or 'feel' any of that. People look at art and extrapolate their own reactions from it. You're better off writing to express yourself to be heard. Frankly, your type of artists are (in your own dream world) wasting your time. No one viewing your art cares about the intimate parts of you and whether you got them in. For God's sake, does your art have hidden messages and weirdness that we have to 'get'? It's pictures. Just pictures. AI is just another tool, albeit an amazing tool that creates art out of an idea. Pretty much like you do. You get an idea. The AI gets its idea, it's called a prompt. And creates art. As for copying all the art works in existence. Well, aren't all artists inspired by the art they've looked at. A bit this person's style, a bit of that style, Oh I like how she does skies. And the only thing, at this early stage missing from the AI is the ability to come up with its own style, which is what humans do. But maybe that's the next 'thing' - you get the AI to create a scene that is inspired by six different artists to conjure up something original! Oh, and Wholesale Ted is one of the best communicators on CZcams, so the haters can stop it. She's lovely.
@@BearBrave-wk3sy You can say that about anything that interests people,
people who like wine and enjoying the tasting process? who cares its just alcohol
people who like sports and watching it? who cares its just rich people running with a ball
people who like video games? who cares its just a bunch of pixels
people who like music? who cares its just noise
people who like art? who cares its just pictures
YOU may not care but people who like art care. Imagine devoting your life in studying art just to be ripped off by an AI. They aren't appreciated as we speak let alone when the AI becomes the norm.
Now I understand if you are talking about the people that put 2 dots on a huge canvas and call it art, thats bs.
Have a nice day.
How are artists being harrassed? Are people making art similar to theirs and sending it to them, to taunt them?
I was in my art nutshell when I get the AI news. My heart is weeping but imiginatly I reminded of the era when these Adobe software's or coral draw like software's harasses the true artists and are the actual reason why people are print addict they don't have soul to feel original art.
As always Sarah, you are amazing and that's why I stay joined to your monthly payment for the web builder info. Thanks so much, Kathryn
How do you have to edit the photos you generate on dall-e before posting them on etsy for selling them to print on paper, or selling them to print on t-shirts?
Every piece of art that is generated with DALLE has 5 small color cubes in the bottom right corner. Is there anyway to remove this or have the art generated without those color cubes? Thanks
Creativity was nice while it lasted.
How can one upload the arts that were created by Dall.E to Etsy?
