My Case Against AI

"AI image generators use two neural networks. The first neural network creates an image while the second judges how close to the real thing the image is, based on real-life examples from the internet. Once scoring the image for accuracy is complete, the data is sent back to the original AI system. That system then learns from the feedback and sends back an altered image for further scoring until the AI-generated image matches the control/template image. "We recognize that work involving generative models has the potential for significant, broad societal impacts. In the future, we plan to analyze how models like DALL·E relate to societal issues like economic impact on certain work processes and professions, the potential for bias in the model outputs, and the longer term ethical challenges implied by this technology."-openai.com AI-generated image results are made from a collection of images it has no right to use. It does not create as artists do. Artists did not opt-in their work for this. AI is sourcing from portfolio sites like Behance, Art Station, Deviantart, Dribbble, and Pinterest without the original author's consent. The text below is taken from a now-suspended Kickstarter by Unstable Diffusion. The 2nd paragraph is especially telling. It's as much a tool as a robotic arm is on an assembly line. It's not meant for artists but as a replacement for artists. AI companies want amateurs to produce artwork without the need for further editing. It is marketed toward amateurs with the promise that they can create art without being an artist. Making good art is harder still. It is the very antithesis of what AI companies are claiming to stand for. And as it stands today, illegal and unethical. Why are they doing this? To unleash your creative power? If you believe that, I have some NFTs to sell you. "Our hope is that DALL·E 2 will empower people to express themselves creatively.
