- In this video, I'm going to answer YOUR questions about using AI Art in your children's book.
- Is it ok to use AI Art in my children's book?
- Are there any legal issues with using AI Art in my children's book?
- Are there alternatives to using AI Art in my children's book?
Here is a really good source of information for a lot of what I talked about in this video:

And thank you SO MUCH to Charles Urbach, an amazing artist I know who has been posting about AI Art on social media and bringing a lot of this stuff to people's attention.

Love your channel, Heather!!! Thanks for all your help!
Aw, thank you so much!!
All great and valid points. Creating art is a human thing
Agree 100% Thank you for introducing me to Canva and Creative Fabrica. Please keep the informative videos coming…
Thank you!!
Thank you! I agree with all of this, and I appreciate the alternative ideas!
Yay!! You're so welcome!!
Tanks for this
Thank you for this great video!
You're so welcome!! ❤️
Great video! Not fair to artists to not be compensated for their work.
Thank you! I agree 🙂
This was so helpful
Yay!!
Can we use AI for generating ideas and then draw it ourselves with the help of AI and canva? I feel like even my illustrator for one of my books is using some AI for the illustrations.
What do you mean by "draw it ourselves with the help of AI and Canva"? Are you actually drawing it?
If your illustrator is using some AI for the Illustrations rather than drawing them, then you shouldn't list that person as the illustrator, as that would imply that they drew everything themselves.
Also, you should disclose on the book itself that you used AI for the art.
But those things aside, I still do recommend at this time that you don't use AI for the art in your book, until more decisions are made around the legality of AI and how it uses other artists' work as input.
Of course, the choice is ultimately yours - I'm just sharing my personal opinion.
How did you learn to do art?
Hi! I've just always liked to draw ever since I was a kid... But I also have followed some tutorials online for digital drawing, to learn how to draw on the iPad! I recommend Genevieve, Lisa Glanz, and Bardot Brush for some amazing drawing tutorials!
Right.
I love your videos and I learned a lot, but allow me to say that this one is a little problematic. I get your passion, but the technical aspects of AI aren't as simple and clear-cut as you say. Open AI's response to the law suits is "it isn't illegal for a human to go to a library, read a lot, and thereby be a better writer". AI is a so-called black box, they >process< information, but don't "save" the training corpus - the material they read and see - like androids in Star Trek do. So there will be no blanket ruling on AI, as AI requires great efforts in prompt engineering and the way information comes out is unpredictable (just like in humans who know a lot), especially in image generation. There is no way to "compensate" authors, the corpora increasingly consist of "close to everything that has ever existed". The AI doesn't know how exactly it acquired it's understanding and skill, just like a good human painter or writer. The Toy Story example doesn't really prove anything: The AI would use "popular toys" - it might as well generate Frozen dolls or the like. In this case "toy" triggered "toy story", that's as simple as AI works with lazy generic prompt "engineering" as it happened there. The situation that the sellers have no idea what they are generating and use this unwittingly also existed pre-AI in other ways and is simple negligence.
The whole point I was making is that none of this is cut-and-dry. We don't know what the future holds as far as AI and the law. There are multiple lawsuits happening right now. I was giving my opinion and advice which is to wait until we do have something concrete where we know for sure that what we are doing is ok legally and ethically.
Re: the toy story example, my entire point is that it might generate something that infringes on copyright without the user realizing it, so then if they go sell that on a shirt they could get a copyright strike on their account. I am telling people to CYA, because after a certain number of copyright strikes you could get your account suspended on the sales platforms. I don't see what part of that is bad advice.
@HeatherCashArt I see your point. I personally just feel it's worth learning to use it consciously and responsibly rather than cautioning against it in general. For example little images to decorate text pages are safe and relatively easy to generate with good prompt engineering skills, which saves a lot of time. Just saying, it's possible to integrate AI "well", which is different from the lazy prompting as frequently portrayed in critical responses these days. Also the compensation issue doesn't seem to apply to how generative transformers operate. Just trying to add to the discourse :)
@@SashaSEuler I appreciate the discussion. But, for little images to decorate text pages, I would personally rather use stock art that was created by artists. When you get a license for that, you know it's ok to use it. AND you're supporting artists. I do hope that eventually we can use AI art in a way that is responsible and ethical, but I just think it makes more sense to wait until that is more definite.
I don't want to get into a debate about whether it's ok to use other artists' work as input without their consent. There is a ton of information and debate around this and the fact is that there are lawsuits being filed around the issue.
All I'm doing is telling people to WAIT until we have better rules and regulations around AI. If they don't want to follow my advice they don't have to, but people have been asking me for my opinion so I wanted to give them my answer.
Great video Heather! I still advocate for the work and talent of people. This is just lazy and silly. I just can't wait until this trend ends and the braindead money hungry people go to the next holy grail of success and wealth 🤑
