Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “DeviantArt is Using AI to Copy Your Work”.
The evantart reminds us that great artists steal this particular topic was provided by Jonathan Horst uh, the uh. Well, they tweeted the release of man. This is kind of wild their new AI tools and controls. Uh dream up a new tool to generate art control. The amount of AI art in your feed, clear, labeling of art that say I generated uh directive to opt out of AI data sets and the ability to opt out of prompts so pretty much uh their their plan for how to address AI art going forward.
Uh. There’S a man wow okay, so they you can output computer generated images from a detailed prompt using the stable diffusion model and deviantART account holders will get five free prompts with more included in the site’s core subscription plan. They’Ve got a gallery of outputs that people can take a look through, oh dang, it you have to log in for this uh. Oh no, you do not. You can just say no.
I do not wish to do that. I can’t tell if I have actually: no. This is just their home page dang it you guys ugh all right.
Well, apparently, I can’t find that so that’s annoying, but there’s a gallery somewhere uh. This one is apparently generated from sunny day in Canada. Wow. That’S really impressive, I believe that’s a sunny day in Canada. Oh 100! That’S super cool, oh dream up, collection! Okay! Can we no, of course I can’t click that. Why would I be able to click that that would be just two? That would be too convenient all right, fine, whatever it doesn’t matter uh.
What do I know about interface anyway? Um deviantART also published their stance on AI art, so they said, artists should be able to tell third-party AI data sets not to use their content. Artists should be able to choose whether or not AI images can be generated in their style. If an artist isn’t opted out and their style is referenced in a prompt, they should be clearly credited. Ai images should be clearly marked, as such viewers should have control over how much AI art they see.
Ai should not be used for abusive or hateful content, and they said they’re not ready for monetization for artists who want to opt out. It appears that when they upload a work, there’s a checkbox, you can click to not authorize for AI data sets, though it can be edited on existing deviations. Um later they plan on adding a way to flag all deviations uploaded to a profile. Anthony had a note here, everyone should be able to opt out regardless yeah, but only some can opt out globally and only by filling out a Google form with a 10 business day lead time, yeah, okay, so that’s interesting. Our discussion question is: how is this good versus? How is this bad for artists? I think that, regardless of how good or bad it is for artists, this stuff is happening.
Ai art is not going away any time soon. Yeah, that’s interesting. The uh generating art in people’s style, how to even prove like I feel like they could back up and be like no, it’s just someone else’s style.
That looks like yours, let alone that’s such an interesting feature to choose to implement or just happened by accident. Sorry, man, I don’t I don’t know yeah how do they police that and especially the creditation again, how do they police that unless it’s like a watermark on the photo uh, but that just seems so messy? Oh, they apparently backpedaled a bit and said that people will be opted out automatically. I don’t remember the last time I ended up on deviantART, though, to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t I don’t I’m not saying they’re not relevant, I’m just saying that, as you know not an artist, I I don’t know that they are relevant, yeah and Omnia Says you have to opt out per picture, so you can’t just opt out like all of your art. You would have to like select what art you don’t want to allow .
