Wow, I got a 12/20. I thought I would get less. I'm scared for the future of artists
Why? A lot of artists have adopted AI and use it as just another tool.
I'm sure artists can use it as another tool, but the problem comes when companies think they can get away with just using ai. Also, the ai has been trained using artwork without any artist permission
The training data containing non licensed artwork is an extremely short term problem.
Within even a few years that problem will literally be moot.
Huge data sets are being made right now explicitly to get around this problem. And ai trained on other AI to the point that original sources no longer are impactful enough to matter.
At a point the training data becomes so generic and intermixed that it's indistinguishable from humans trained on other humans. At which point you no longer have any legal issues since if you deem it still unallowed at that point you have to ban art schools and art teachers functionally. Since ai learns the same way we do.
The true proplem is just that the training data is too narrow and very clearly copies large chunks from existing artists instead of copying techniques and styles like a human does. Which also is solvable. :/
Which is an issue if those artists want to copyright their work. So far the US has maintained that AI generated art is not subject to copyright protection.
Only if it's 100% synth art. What about partial? We don't know.
As with other AI-enhanced jobs, that probably still means less jobs in the long run.
Now one artist can make more art in the same time, or produce different styles which previously had required different artists.
