The artists castigated a new Cat Creator of images which can imitate their styles – accusing its manufacturer of copyright violation.
The OpenAi technology giant launched its GPT-4O model this week, hailed by the founder Sam Altman Like “a new high -level brand to allow freedom of creation”.
In addition to the advanced image generation capacities, the tool has significantly lower guarantees than previous versions, allowing users to create resemblances of celebrities and images that resemble works protected by copyright in a few seconds.
He quickly became viral for his ability to produce high quality images in Wallace & Gromit style, The Simpsons, The Muppets and Japanese Animation House Studio Ghibli.
Mr. Altman, 39, even changed his own social media profile photo into a version generated by AI in the Studio Ghibli style.
OPENAI expects its income to be triple at 9.8 billion pounds sterling (12.7 billion dollars) in 2025, but it is unlikely that artists will be imitated.
British illustrator Dave McKean, whose work includes Batman Comics, Alice Cooper The album covers and Stephen King Book covers have seen his unique style copied with great precision – and believes that tools like GPT -4O will destroy the art industry.
Mr. McKean, 61, said: “ I am no illusion that they will get more and more reproduction of this kind of thing.
The founder of Openai, Sam Altman, says that his new image generator is the most advanced to date and has changed his social media profile photo in a version generated by AI in the Studio Ghibli style
Users have created images in well -known styles, including that of Wallace & Gromit
Various styles can be imitated by the new Chatgpt tool, including Studio Ghibli, Wallace & Gromit, Rick and Morty and Attack on Titan
“Why would someone pay me to illustrate something if he can just tell a computer to do it in my style?”
“AI could do incredible things in science, study of weather conditions, virology – but it must be far from the creative arts.
“If the government is determined to remove all barriers to copyright, then it’s a game for artists like me.”
He stressed that AI had no innate capacity – it is capable of creating that “art” in copying what real artists have created.
The founder of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, 84, has already expressed fierce opposition to the art of AI, calling him “an insult to life itself”.
“I have the impression that we are approaching the end of time,” he said. “We, humans, lose confidence in ourselves.
Luiza Jarovsky, from AI, Tech & Privacy Academy, said: “It is not clear if Openai has license agreements with Ghibli studio and other creators whose styles are imitated. For me, it seems unlikely that such transactions exist. My bet is that a new wave of copyright prosecution arrives.
The government of Keir Starmer wants to exempt the major technologies from copyright law, which allows it to use online equipment protected by copyright to improve AI products. The creators should withdraw from the exploitation of their work.
Illustrator Dave McKean thinks that IA images will mean “game out” for artists like him
Sam Altman welcomed the success of his new Chatgpt image generator, saying that his enormous success caused the “fusion of graphic processing units”
Mr. Altman praised the freedom that GPT-4O gives to users, but rights holders fear that this leads to the reproduction of their work
Mail campaigns to protect British threat creative industries.
The Children’s author Chris Bradford supports the campaign. He discovered that pirated copies of his popular railings and his young samurai books had been accessible by AI in November 2023.
“You can now ask Chatgpt to write a story in the style of Chris Bradford, and that imitates my work very precisely,” he said. “You can ask him to use young samurai plots, and that can do so in the smallest detail.
“There must be a reward. Authors like me just ask for equity.
Mr. Bradford, 50, from Hove, East Sussex, added that IA chatbots were unable to write convincing news a year ago, but can now develop passable fiction works. At this rate, they may be able to write convincing novels by next year, he thinks.
Author Harriet Evans, 50, felt shocked and raped when she asked Chatgpt “to write a novel by Harriet Evans” – and he produced a virtual replica of his work, with names of characters and plots.
The title of history was the place of Lost Gardens, a merger of two of his successful books – a place for us and the garden of Lost and Found.
“It was like being struck in the guts,” said Ms. Evans. “My job is to distill my thoughts, experiences and emotions from the last 50 years of my life in books. See a machine imitate everything that is horrible.
“This threatens not only the livelihoods of thousands of authors, booksellers, printers, publishers and librarians, but the idea that my children grow up by reading books generated by a computer is horrible.”
Ms. Evans, a mother of two, said that allowing IA societies to ignore copyright would be “incredibly bad for Great Britain”. She added: “I don’t think the government knows what’s at stake here.”
Openai said that it prevents images from being generated in the style of living artists, but allows wider studio styles ‘that people have used to generate and share original creations of truly delicious and inspired fans’.
A spokesperson said: “Our goal is to give users as much freedom of creation as possible. We always learn from the use and comments of the real world, and we will continue to refine our policies as you go.
