Hi guys, I want to discuss the morality of using commissioned art into AI generator without the artist’s knowledge.
I think this could be a great starter to let artists, authors, readers, and whoever else share their thoughts so this can become a more known topic in the IF community.
QUESTIONS FOR THE ARTISTS
-
What if someone uses a commissioned art piece they’d paid for and uploads it into an AI art generator as a seed?
-
Would you like to know before starting if this is something they would do?
-
Would you disallow it as part of terms and conditions before drawing?
-
Would you have strict rules? Like no putting the art you made for them into an engine that will keep the art as a reference once set as a seed? Or only allow the art to be seeded into an engine that throws away the seeded art piece after use?
-
Would you charge more for the permission to do this?
There’s actually a lot of questions arising from this as I think about it. It could even become a job in the future! “Seed artist for hire”
FOR AUTHORS
Ima throw a curveball at yall, lmao
-
Have you heard of AI story generators?
-
What do you think about this emerging new factor?
-
Do you threatened by this? Or do you feel unworried?
-
Now returning to the AI generated art. Would you use it? How would you use it? I think a number of us already use Artbreeder, and if you didn’t know; Artbreeder is an artificial intelligence (AI ) portrait and landscape image creation tool.
-
Would you commission artists with the intention of having them make a reference image to use for AI generation art?
For the readers
-
Did you guys know this was a thing?
-
How often do you use AI art generators?
-
Do you think the Interactive Fiction industry and community will be changed by this? Think Tumblr, Discord, and other social media. Will this be more of a topic going forward as AI-generated art becomes more popular?
-
How would you feel if CoG decided to use AI art?
-
Do you think AI generated art is going to be more beneficial or harmful to your reading experience? In more focus, would you be okay with it if it helps create more art in your games, or do you rather want to use your imagination?
