While the figures of action, the images of Ghibi-Esque studio and other AI arts become popular, the artists fear their means of subsistence.
“People who use it (AI generators) should respect artists”, ” said An artist, Joy Cardaño, whose commissions stopped. It is “so contrary to ethics”. “Even if artists come on how they don’t want their art to be used, they refuse to listen.”
NBC reported that many artists like Cardaño go in the problem, stressing that the co-founder of Studio Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki called the art generated by Ai “an insult to life itself”.
A great concern is the ability of AI to imitate artists’ styles – the thing that makes a unique artist.
“What would you do if you take the time that you type prompts in AI and just try to draw something for yourself?” An illustrator suggested. “I know that it does not always use everyone, but I am so much more interested in seeing what people offer for themselves, because it is always more personal.”
In 2022, an artist discovered that his name had been used more than 12,000 times in a prompt on Midjourney.
“It became weird at that time. It was starting to look quite precise, a little violated,” she said The New Yorker. “I can see my hand in these kinds of things, see how my work was analyzed and mixed with others to produce these images.
In 2023, caricaturist Sarah Anderson and two other artists pursued three IA companies for copyright violation after seeing people reproduce their work with Tech. The costume is currently underway.

“Credit, consent and compensation is what we would like about these models,” said Andersen said. “This is what we are trying to achieve with the proceedings.”
“If you are an artist who works mainly on commissions, you probably lose a lot of income because it is cheaper, easier and faster to use a model to create an image than to pay an artist”, she continuous. “And of course, this is a financial problem, because if you want to use the style of this particular artist, you can also do it, and you can do it without their consent, so it becomes a big financial problem.”
Openai says that his image generation tools are “designed to support human creativity”.
OPENAI CEO Sam Altman said This month, “I think that the democratization of content creation was a big net victory for society. It is not a complete victory; there are negative things on this subject, and he certainly did something about the form of art. But I think that overall, it was a victory.”
The architect, designer, designer, artist and university professor Joshua Vermillion is not one of the artists against AI because he uses it to his advantage. Before using AI tools, he made around 10 works per year. In 2023, he was over 150 years old, he told Science News Explore.
However, he admits that there are problems to solve.
“We have to enter the fray, use the tools, experiment with them and be critical on their part”, he said.
Although artists already feel the impact of AI, it remains to be seen how much technology will change in terms of creativity.
