Wow...a LOT of my art has been scraped according to that website. Do I feel threatened? No. What is going over almost everyone's head is this: Avery formally educated artists has studied and imitated the works of other artists. In college, my drawing professor had us either go to a museum or grab art books and "copy" our favorited artists (in my case Picasso) to learn their style. That's EXACTLY what the AI apps do. No one was shaking in their boots over it before now. Why is it an issue? The apps aren't directly copying anyone's work. They are LEARNING the STYLE. Which is what we all do with human intelligence. No artist has copyrighted a style. If this were a thing, we'd have all run out of ways to paint generations ago.
Artist trading cards (ATCs) is a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vänçi Stirnemann in 1997. It's nice to see a new generation jumping into them now. I remember that first wave. They were all the rage.
Hi hi thank you for sharing this information. The question that came to me is, do you or Carley have any suggestions for what kind of watermark to put on photos of artwork for copyright purposes in order to protect them from being used by AI or other artists? Are some better than others and are there particular ones that you could recommend? Thanks 😊
Hi, thanks for the question! I talk a bit about Glaze in the article - that and other similar techniques are a bit different from watermarking; they add "noise" to the image that is specifically calculated to throw off AI, but isn't obvious to a human viewer. I recommend that if you're hoping to protect the art from being used in AI models in particular. Unfortunately, the reality is that there's no kind of watermark that will fully protect your art from copying without substantially obscuring the art for human viewers too - it's basically an arms race, as AI and other tools become better and better at removing watermarks. One of the things I'm trying to work on with my platforms is giving artists new ways to monetize their work that doesn't require avoiding sharing their work online for people to see, since obviously artists want people to see and appreciate their work (and they need to be able to market it)!
I think there will always be art lovers and collectors who truly value original art made by hand, and they are collecting today. Although AI can do some amazing things, it doesn't have the human soul.
@@ArtsySharkBusiness hopefully so. There is nothing like seeing art in person and feeling the artists energy. ;) Like online galleries are nice but nothing like going to see a piece of art in person.

@@carlyrector2515 Thanks Carly
What AI makes me feel is that humans don't want humans anymore, what will happen when we are ALL replaced by AI?
