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.

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 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3Ssoa2bg918nrc 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 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.

They never expected their form of creative self-expression to be used to train AI and for other people who has no respect for their hard work to use their art for their own monetary gain but colour me surprise (don't colour me with AI though, use your own damn skill), this is the reality of today's artists. I applaud you for your careful thoughtfulness. I read your replies in the other comments, you do seem pretty adamant about how AI programs don't generate image from existing copyrighted arts online. When even the AI programmers themselves inform that they used a large dataset to create those AI images. The prompts even including which artist' style to replicate. It's very unethical, to say the least.

[@WholesaleTed]

I have never said that AI has not been trained with artists images, included images still under copyright. On the contrary, I have directly said even in this video, that AI is trained with images. What I have said in my replies is: * AI has been trained with copyrighted images, but that is a legal and valid use for them under Fair Use. It therefore means it is not copyright infringement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use * That the images AI creates are unique. There is a myth that many people have restated in the comments on this video, that AI is just smashing together images it finds online. This is new true. All images are uniquely created from scratch using Diffusion Models: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3Ssoa2bg918nrc That's all I have said 🙏 There is a very big difference, between AI art images using images to be trained in art styles, like humans do by studying images we see from other artists, versus actually using images to create pictures. If a human did that, it would be copyright infringement. The same for an AI. However, like a human, while it uses other artists images to learn artistic styles, it does not use their actual pictures to create new ones. There is a very big difference between the two 🙏

[@tamaralei936]

​@@WholesaleTed 'it does not use their actual pictures to create new ones' hmm but you said at 8:37 that dall-e scans historical paintings to make their output images? interesting contradiction. and stop with the comparison to artists because the human brain doesn't have the capacity to store and scan (as you so aptly put it) hundreds of thousands of images to make art. 'while it uses other artists images to learn artistic styles, it does not use their actual pictures to create new ones'. umm what? ai cannot generate images without a dataset so the only way it can is by compiling and combining stolen artworks. know your facts before you promote the use of this unethical tech. i doubt you have any but i wonder what your art friends think about this video.

[@WholesaleTed]

There was nothing contradictory about what I said. People are conflating two things to be the same, when they are not: FACT: DALL-E is trained by scanning images from other artists. FACT: DALL-E creates completely unique images using Diffusion Models. These two things are both correct & factual, yet many people seem to be conflating them to be the same thing (DALL-E is trained by scanning images, therefore it uses them to make images - that is wrong). If we compare it to a human, that helps to explain the difference. FACT: Humans learn artistic art styles, and how to create art, by looking at images from other artists. FACT: Humans draw their own unique images, using styles they've learned from observing images throughout their life. These two things are both correct & factual. 🙏 The argument of "how can an AI make brand new images? It can only use datasets, so therefore it must be using data inside of it" is a false assumption. Why do you not apply that logic to humans? Because it's not true: humans can use creativity to be inspired to create something new. And AI can use Diffusion Models: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3Ssoa2bg918nrc

[@tamaralei936]

​@@WholesaleTed Fact: DALL-E uses diffusion model to generate images. How are diffusion models trained? Diffusion models are trained to generate output images using sample image data through a two-stage computing process: forward diffusion stage (where it gradually adds Gaussian noise to the sample image/s over a series steps) and reverse diffusion stage (where it tries to reverse the process and recover the original input data i.e de-noising). Fact: Without sample images DALL-E, which runs on a diffusion model, cannot make art from scratch because diffusion models require input images to ‘noise and de-noise’ which means that DALL-E does use scanned images to make images. This implies that people are, in fact, not conflating the two facts you’ve stated because they are one and the same. Fact: Artists TRAIN to create art. How do artists train? Artists train to create art through a diverse analytical and observational process unique to the individual themselves. Also involve in this process is the analysis of how other artists apply the fundamentals of art on their own artworks, and this analysis is perceived and interpreted through a lens shaped by the individual’s worldview, culture, inspirations, and life experiences. Artists also train by applying what they analyse and observe through practice which, again, differs between individuals. This IS different from simple data-sampling. We are not the one conflating facts; it is you. You are the one conflating AI and humans as one and the same as if both have the same capacity to store and access data; the rate at which humans can gather data is nothing compared to the speed and reach of AI. You may think the process alike which, superficially, looks that way but the similarities end there. Humans are not machines, and machines certainly are not humans. This difference, although clear as it is, is what creates the dissonance between artists and non-artists not to mention the fact that there is nothing ethical about this. It exploits the hard work of living and dead artists who have spent decades of their life honing their craft and discovering their identities. The datasets of these AI technology are a compilation of stolen identities and including private information such as medical records. This is what you’re supporting and encouraging others to support. The dead cannot speak for themselves but when art is dead-and effectively everything associated with it including your shows, your books, your music-because people like you supported this, I sure will be one of the people who’ll say, ‘I told you so’.

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

[@hnjk588]

@@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.

[@WholesaleTed]

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.

[@mv1988]

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?

[@WholesaleTed]

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.

[@hnjk588]

@@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.

[@WholesaleTed]

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 🙏

[@jaycollier8632]

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.

[@withak7683]

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.

[@Ryu62Alpha]

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.

[@BearBrave-wk3sy]

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 KZbin, so the haters can stop it. She's lovely.

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.

[@WholesaleTed]

RedBubble does just legitimately close stores down due to false copyright claims unfortunately, but with Etsy you can easily appeal that and win and get your store reinstated quickly. A huge number of stores get closed down on Etsy falsely due to them having a serious bot problem. Lots of stores get falsely flagged as bots/reuploaders if they're brand new. Usually due to the person making some sort of mistake in their profile accidentally, flagging the system. If you just email and tell them you're a real person and you had the right to use your images, I'm 99% confident they'd reinstate your account after a human looks over it.

[@WholesaleTed]

Usually, Etsy suspends people for good reason: they make an honest mistake when filling out their initial product listings/profiles that would be a red flag that they're a bot, and so Etsy automatically suspends you (it has nothing to do with the art uploaded). However, even though it's reasonable for the system to flag you as a bot, you aren't one, and so when Etsy gets the time to have a human to look at your account (usually in under a week) 99% of the time they see it was an honest mistake, and reinstate your account. I think people should not take it personally when Etsy suspends an account, because from Etsy's perspective, they have no choice. The vast majority (90%+) of accounts created on websites, such as Etsy, are bots. They are spammers/scammers. That is important to note. The MAJORITY of accounts that get created, are accounts designed to scam their users. Therefore, they HAVE to have very strict filters in place. What is worse: that they incorrect suspend accounts making honest mistakes, or allow scam accounts that are trying to steal money from their users through? But most people don't realize that the majority of accounts being created are spam/scam accounts and these websites don't explain it well to users at all, so I also understand why people find it disheartening/get disappointed, rather than just expect it to be a likely and necessary occurrence to keep them and others safe. It would be good for these companies to communicate this better!

[@PixiiBomb]

I'm a programmer and an artist, and I am THRILLED about the prospects of AI. I'm also expanding my skills into 3D art with the help of bots. Here's some points for people who are freaking out: PROS 1) 20 years ago, people thought DreamWeaver was going to "take our jobs". It hasn't, and stuff like this never will. These are all just tools to help humans progress. People said the same thing about mocaps. 3D animators were scared motion capture would take their jobs, and what it actually did was create a new type of skill set. 2) For stuff like code generation: you still need to be a programmer to actually use it. It's like speaking another language. If you don't speak Chinese, and you just copy and paste what a bot gives you: it's gibberish to people who actually speak Chinese. Code generation will help you improve your code and it will help newbies learn faster. But snippets of code do not make a complete framework. Bots will never be able to produce a complex industry framework for free. The best you can use it for is quick prototypes. 3) The same can be said for mock-ups. Imagine you have a customer that asks for a specific character design, and you spend a week drawing a concept, only to have the customer hate everything. You can instead, spend an hour with your customer prompting an AI so they can see potential variations and visuals of what they have in mind. The AI art is usually just a piece of the puzzle. It's now up to you to either clean up the piece or recreate it using the AI art as a base. If you're a freelancer, this means more money in your pocket, because you'll be able to take on more clients than you would before. 4) The generated art is far from perfect. Bots can't draw hands, because humans can't draw hands (and feet). Most of the art is a portrait of a person, and even though DALL-E can "fill in the rest"... it's not nearly as perfect as it's advertised to be. You still need an artist to fix things. 5) The bots learn from humans. Look at paintings throughout history. You can visibly see a style of drawing from different eras in time. Humans did that. A bot will never be able to learn a new drawing technique. These bots can help people learn new techniques faster and humans will be the ones to push the envelope. 6) As with Mocaps, all this is going to do is create a new type of skill. There are 3D artists that are hired to fix issues with Motion Capture. Mocaps speed up the process of 3D animation, and an entire job was born to help with this process. 20 years ago, I learned how to make websites that non-programmers can use to make websites. They don't teach that kind of stuff in schools anymore. Instead, they teach kids how to USE those websites (like Joomla, Wix, WordPress, etc) to create websites for their clients faster. It's the same thing. 20 years from now, some of the jobs we grew up with will be obsolete, but new jobs and new skills will be needed for these tools. You just have to adapt. And not only that, take C and C++ for example. There are plenty of jobs that still require C and C++, but we have C# now, which has made some other jobs faster. It just depends on the type of work that's being done. This isn't a bad thing at all. 7) Anyone who applies to a job using an "AI portfolio"... they're not going to be able to keep up with people who actually have that skill set. And it's REALLY obvious to tell what is AI art and what isn't. Ai is starting to make some amazing stuff, but you're also going to see hair coming out of someone's eyeball, or fingers that look like mushrooms, or weapons floating in the air. An actual artist has to paint over that art to fix it. If the person who was hired is incapable of doing that, they wont have that job very long. 8) Also going back to mockups, specifically for web, mobile or software in general. The bot gives you a concept, but is doesn't give you assets. You still have to make that shit lol. It can generate a really awesome icon pack, but again: you have to clean that up or redraw pieces of the set. You can't just sell a flat .jpg to a customer for $10 and expect your freelance account to get 5 stars for amazing work. CONS 1) AI art largely draws on the styles of humans. The ones that are alive today that have created their own unique style as they ones that are most affected by this, and their art is no longer considered "unique". A counter "PRO" to this of course is that the original artist has years of published works proving their skill and competency. People who know that artist recognize their work. And anyone using AI art to generate art in that artist's style needs the technical skill to be able to "fix" the art in the same style. 2) Some corporations who don't understand "how the sausage is made" when it comes to Dev, 2D Art, 3D Art, etc... will likely hire cheap labor from entries in these fields that are using AI works because they don't have the technical skill set in these fields. They're learn REALLY quick why that's a bad idea. The only real MAJOR con to this is that if it's a large company that relies on the safety of humans... (like a car company that's using code from an AI to help engineer a response for a car accident) that could be detrimental to AI as a whole, and to humans as a whole.

I think this is against copyright

[@pxljedi999]

Off topic… I love your top. Where did you get it?

[@zzurmzp]

I can bet that professionals who invested huge amount of time on their stock portfolios on shutter* for example, are just delighted with this new possibility. Maybe it is free but it's not moral. Thanks for the interesting video, tho!

[@Erzkreutz]

i follow digital artists for years now and i know how hard it was for many to make a living already. this finishes off the mediocre artists. also most ai art looks soulless. 2022 was really a dark year for humanity.

[@isolate6509]

Wow…this is truly horrible. I guess I shouldn’t have expected more from people, but it’s horrible to know that no one really cares about artists anymore. I know the art community is trying to reassure us, but I think it’s over. People won’t purchase art if they can get it for free, legally, in 10 seconds. I don’t think art is a viable career for anyone who isn’t already big. I’m sorry fellow artists. I’m so sorry. Edit: And just to clarify, this isn’t a guilt trip. But what you buy, same reason people get things from shein even though it was stolen from a small business, cause it’s cheaper, and we don’t have a lot of money right now.

[@alinaholtmann]

or maybe it's an opportunity for art to become something completely different, a new medium. we can use ai to generate art images fast, but then say, create virtual spaces with it that you can walk through the art (in the metaverse for example). it's the horse vs car argument. you also can put your original work into ai and generate variants of your work. if, as an artist, it's more about your process of doing art, that's not being taken away. one could use ai for client work and regular art for personal work. also, fine art: like massive canvases, that people use for money laundering, is not going anywhere.

[@daniellepaxton7427]

Hopefully some people will still prefer original artwork from artists since is has spirit and soul in it. AI will never be human or better that human. It has no soul or life force and never will. But I agree, since most of the art that is purchased is usually just prints, not original art, this is going to make it much harder for truly talented artists to make a living with art when anyone and their grandma can use AI to create it. Art is one of the things that has defined culture and made humanity special. Now...well... Now people with no artistic talent or vision will create art just for money and not because their soul yearns to create it. Only an artist would understand how special it is to envision a piece and bring it to life. We are not the average person.

[@chaddsteinberg3758]

Technology, robots, ai has been stealing and replacing humans in every field, I guess it’s finally affecting you.

[@toddspangler6669]

I'm an artist, and while some of this is horrible, like stealing artwork and just changing it slightly is pretty low as it should only use images that are declared as free use. However, I can see artists creating a work from layering their own drawings or photos with this, but only if I know it is coming from free use images, not somebody's hard work.

[@letsmeditatetogether7668]

Hi. I am in awe. What a fabulous video. Unfortunately I can't see how to register. Have they closed access to register now? Thanks for the video

[@muxxt_art]

“Don’t have to hire artists to do it for you.” … instead just steal thousands of artist’s work from them with the push of a button *facepalm*

[@vanleerfridge5829]

Most of her videos are about legal theft to make money. Just steal someone's hard work, modify it and resell it. Does nothing but flood the creative space with the same thing everywhere and take money for those who work hard at building a real skill.

[@_Sosfinder]

Well nowadays i don’t think we can only apply that term to some people that creates those images, with social media everyone is a digital creator, everyone has the dance access as the other people and there is tons of image banks giving away for free or a simple like. I don’t think it’s a way to protect everyone’s hard work or know if they didn’t use the same steps into creating…

Question: what do they mean by this? why would they be invoicing us for taxes? what taxes? what are they talking about? "(b) Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Fees do not include federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, and other similar assessments (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all Taxes associated with your purchase, excluding Taxes based on our net income, and we may invoice you for such Taxes. You agree to timely pay such Taxes and provide us with documentation showing the payment, or additional evidence that we may reasonably require. OpenAI uses the name and address in your account registration as the place of supply for tax purposes, so you must keep this information accurate and up-to-date."

[@adideno2771]

There are artists, who have worked passionately their whole lives to make the art that the AI is now trained with. They are getting kind of screwed in that sense. And then there are people like you: uncreative opportunists that take advantage of the hard work of other people and make videos (and your idea or video is not original at all - lots of "make 10000€ per day" videos out there) about how to make money based on the work of thousands of artists. And then, the best part, you are even highlighting coldly that no one has to pay artists anymore to make art.

[@maryewell7621]

Thank you, that was a great video. I've been thinking about starting my own print on demand business.

[@TheJohnManga]

Hi, i came here by KZbin Recommendations. There is a virtual war these days with Artists vs AIs in Artstation and a lot of social media. I think this is gonna make large debate these weeks. (Btw, sorry for my english, actually my languaje is spanish).

[@CyberTechJordan]

when using Dall-E, do you include the watermark on the lower right corner when you sell?

[@ashen_kills]

Yes, then you sell it on your shopify site with only $5 in FB ad`s and make 40k p/m, understand?

[@generalzucc462]

You're allowed to remove the watermark, ignore the person above.

[@redballoonstickers]

crop it out

[@morrisalanisette9067]

us AI to remove to watermark lol

[@lblack_sugarl1213]

the AI images are not protected by copyright.

[@mahalicious2512]

Hii, I am your new subscriber and very happy that i found you 💫

[@plotagonroy7997]

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.

[@domenicofumarola141]

If any of you, without any doubt, think this is ok... let me tell you... you have little to zero morality left in yourself. Just saying "you don't have to hire an artist, or paint the picture yourself" might be problematic on so many level, but if you add the fact that AI's feeds on literally stolen copyrighted materials (with zero credits/payments to the original artists, or even their consent), you understand how fundamentally wrong this is. I suggest a title change: "Get $300 PER DAY, and PROFIT at the expense of REAL artists, LEGALLY (for now) (New method ;)"

[@Nasauniverse001]

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.

[@harukamichiru2924]

One question: Why should anyone buy a digital image for a poster to print it themself? I mean, couldn't you just take a free picture from the internet and print it yourself without having to pay money for the picture? I don't want to make the idea seem bad I just wonder who pays money just for a picture that you then have to print yourself?

[@ambivelent-artist]

As an artist, I simply cannot get behind this. AI art crosses the boundaries regarding the rights of artists because they don't get to consent to having their art gathered and put into a machine. And no, it is not the same as an artist learning to draw by taking influence from other artists. It takes years to learn to draw proper anatomy, to add proper lighting, to design characters. All an AI needs to do is chew up a bunch of drawings that fit the keywords you put in and spit them onto a canvas. Artists already suffer from no one taking us seriously, AI art is just another way of showing it.

[@CaptJPurdie]

Art guy here too (comix)... Since these robots don't quite know proportions or how many fingers a human has (yet) there's still some time for us human artists to adapt to the new landscape... I hear you, but at the same time: part of me is kind of glad of this new technology. I don't intend to use it myself at all, but I can anticipate what the longterm impact will be in one sense... Alot of the guys who half ass it and don't put the hours into practicing and learning their craft for real are either gonna be forced to look for employment elsewhere... or they'll step up and actually commit to being an artist full time (not just part time whilst blathering on about it the rest of the time 🙄). And those of us who survive will be too stubborn to care if we're taken seriously... but maybe that's just me. ☺

[@deitus1375]

What do you mean no one takes artists seriously?

[@ambivelent-artist]

@@deitus1375 Bit of an exaggeration on my part but I mean people who take the talents of artists for granted. Art thieves and "reposters", entitled customers, people who complain about the price of commissions, "NFT bros", and now AI artists (especially the ones who use AI to make fun of actual artists). Even other artists don't take artists or their rights seriously. Not to mention that artists in the industry tend to be underpaid and overworked, especially in the anime industry, but that's another can of worms altogether. Of course there are plenty of people who do respect artists but in general, it appears the rights of artists are low on the creative rights list.

[@ambivelent-artist]

@@CaptJPurdie Honestly, you make a very good point there and I do agree. Until a robot can figure out how to make a comic, I'm not gonna let myself get kicked out of my industry/passion. Hopefully this whole thing will fade into obscurity like NFTs have appeared to. Only time will tell but until then, all we can do is keep trucking along.

Hello Sarah, Is your online courses are updated with the last information on the market? Or its still the same since the creation? Thanks

[@tristanwatts4728]

AI "art" is theft! And is hurting us real artists! You not struggling to make money, a lot of us are, especially now because of AI. Its disgusting.

[@digitalprincess99]

It's almost 2023, there are tons of ways to make money selling your art. Getting sales has nothing to do with your artwork and everything to do with your marketing. If you want to make money, market yourself and your work better. It's simple. Don't blame the AI creators for making money. Sure you can hate on them for being able to create sellable art without doing as much work as an artist would, but you can't blame them for making money, because everything they do to make that money are things that you can easily do as well.

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.
