We all witnessed last year how generative AI tools exploded in popularity, offering users the ability to create \u201cart\u201d by typing prompts. Everything from tik tok filters, profile pictures to actual \u201cprompters\u201d selling their images as hand-drawn. While it may seem fun and harmless at face-value, this rapid advancement has sparked a heated debate, particularly among artists who feel their work is being exploited, and the craft undervalued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many AI models are trained on massive datasets that include millions of images scraped from the internet. This often includes copyrighted artwork created by professional artists (Quach, 2023). This raises serious concerns about copyright infringement and the potential for AI \u201csteal\u201d the unique styles of individual artists. There\u2019s even lawsuits in the process due to this (Nguyen, 2024). Artists even took to X to point out that Ai was creating things in their style:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A lot of platforms now require you to \u201copt out\u201d of having your data used for training, however if that is where it ends is up in the air.<\/p>\n

Another concern that gets brought up a lot regarding Ai is the replacement of humans. Art is one area that this is already becoming evident. AI-generated art devalues skills and diminishes the importance of the creative process. Some argue that it allows those who cannot create traditionally a means to express themselves creatively. But at the end of the day is this the proposed point of generative Ai? Likely not. The goal is more likely to cut artists out in endeavours where they would typically be hired (Merchant, 2024). The proliferation of AI-generated art could potentially flood the market, making it harder for artists to sell their work and earn a living. I personally have had a significant decrease in art commissions over the last two years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just visual artists at risk; it\u2019s being used to produce books and to narrate audiobooks too (Ai Audiobook, 2024). Consumers are also concerned about how difficult it is to screen out media that utilizes Ai:<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 100 titles by AI \u201cnarrators\u201d were in their catalog, and Robin was having trouble finding indications that the authors themselves are real?\u201d (Ai Audiobook, 2024).<\/p>\n

Many book consumers are fighting against this, and will automatically block authors who chose to engage in artificial intelligence in any way.<\/p>\n

As artificial intelligence only continues to get better, will we even be able to tell the difference?<\/p>\n

But there is hope: artists are fighting back. New programs like Glaze and Nightshade protect an artists\u2019 work from being trained and used. By Ai. Nightshade turns any piece of data to one unusable by training systems. It caused the output to be distorted. Glaze also protects by making sure any usage is minimal. (Choo, 2023).<\/p>\n

But will it be enough? Perhaps we will continue to see a decrease in the wares of artists. Or maybe a new revival of the traditional arts.<\/p>\n
