Love to make wall art for this.
… if there would be any copyright Google and owners of Midjourney would most likely own all the stuff we generate no?
🤗 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖒𝖔𝖘𝖒
that's really sad to see, how year by year technologies replacing real artists like us and giving instruments to cheapies to just "jump into the train" to make money while it's hot. It was with photo editing industry, it was with video editing industry, nfts and now even real art can be generated and sold by any dumbster with a click of a button. The fact is that art becomes less and less an ART and more like an opportunity to make money for people, who can't build anything worth on their own – makes me sad. Humanity came to its limits in greed and shamelessness.
I dont mind AI generated art. I let it take on a life of its own, and hope it enlarge human consciousness.
There's value in everything, and I believe this will help hand made art as well, and make them more valuable than ever.
STOP.
Just an FYI:
No matter how high you upscale on Midjourney, it will always be 96dpi, whixh is way too low for physical printing. They best you can do is 5.5×5.5
You will need to use a third-party product to increase your dpi to make it suitable for physical print.
Since I recently discovered them I always use artistic AIs as a tool. The images I produce with AIs are MY own photoshop composition of several different generations of the AI, plus graphic elements made by me, colour correction, effects, contrast correction and extensive photo retouching.
To do all this took hours of MY own work and not AI's, and the end result is different from the original raw AI image generation.
Legally and under international copyright laws this is technically a 'Derivative work', as are the generations of the AI app, that use huge image databases of intellectual properties of others, including my thousands of images not produced by AI but present on the web and on many image bank sites and my website, totally produced by me over the past twenty years as a digital professional illustrator.
In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of an original, previously created first work (the underlying work). The derivative work becomes a second, separate work independent in form from the first. The transformation, modification or adaptation of the work must be substantial and bear its author's personality sufficiently to be original and thus protected by copyright. Translations, cinematic adaptations and musical arrangements are common types of derivative works.
Most countries' legal systems seek to protect both original and derivative works. They grant authors the right to impede or otherwise control their integrity and the author's commercial interests. Derivative works and their authors benefit in turn from the full protection of copyright without prejudicing the rights of the original work's author.
To know more on how legally really works a 'Derivative work' please read here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work
Anyway, Man Ray did not paint, because he was a great photographer and collage artist (he only worked with visual material not created with his own hands), but his photo-collage "Le Violon d'Ingres" from 1924 is undoubtedly a work of art, and it was sold at an auction by Christie's for $12.4 millions.
For several decades already, photography has not only had artistic value but also economic value in the art market, yet a great photographer, often very well paid, theoretically is basically just a camera operator and produces his art just by pushing a button.
But is a photographer just a technician or can he be an artist and be well paid for his art? In the 21st century I am confident that the fact that they're artists is established.
Technically if some photographers who artistically fix reality in an image (reality which they certainly did not create) with a single click, having the total intellectual property of that image, can be defined as artists, then so are the users of artistic AI.
Any ai generated fit for make comic ? Sorry bad English
I love it great video.
so nothing is stopping people from just taking artists work and running it through mid journey to create a slight variation that isn't copyrighted and they know artists are too poor to do anything about it…
I think we should limit AI, it s something we dont fully understant and it might backfire
To copyright the image would it be enough to sign it ? Or add like a name to the image ? (both done directly on the image)
i imagine copywriting the text that generated the image would be protectable in some way. it's a mine field!
What about the title of the art when selling? I don't know much about copywriting and my English isn't the most pleasing as you can tell
Ai art is literally the scummiest thing to exist.If it's used for ANYTHING other than having fun and inspiration then it is scummy. AI art is millions of people's work put into a program and used to generate a random drawing
All for AI generated art being used for concept art and helping artists get an idea of what to make, but full on selling ai generated art solely just brings more competition when it comes to commissions, people are going to pretend their ai art is completely original and handcrafted. Which I'm seeing already
I don’t like this. The images look eerie and strange. But it can be good for analog horror stories or nightmare fuel creepy pastas.
Does midjourney have image copyrights? And should I subscribe for 30 bucks ?
Why would anyone want it?
Even if does, why don't I just give him?
If u were able to make money of it u won't tell others
Soon you'll be trying to sell your 'prompts' as 'brush packs' on Gumroad. – Just a folder of sentences and words! Lol!
This is too much! I'm out. Throwing out my Cintique and picking up my pen and sketchbook.
It's all an illusion now.
I love how scummy people only like money. Like geez.
the difference is in photography and music you ACTULLY took the photo or made the music… you did not create these photos the AI did and now try to make a quick buck… i believe with this app it should ONLY be used if you are going to keep the photos for yourself, use them for your music or job (NOT SELLING) or concept art for you to get an idea for what you want and to continue your work like for a game, movie, story, ect…
Copywriting txt inputs? A single txt string can generate infinite different images, you can't copywrite infinite.. so you would be copywriting the words? No u can't own words…
Concept art, game design, game art ect… Just peaked, midjourney is fkn insane. I can't stop!!
Amazing that of all things, AI will first change the process of creating art. Forever.
nice to see people supporting ai art so that millions of real artists can lose their job much more quicker to people who write a few words and do little edits on photoshops. yes, continue to monetize your 5 word generated art and make other people who spend 5-6 hours on only one artwork compete to make a living. imagine thinking you're the same as real artists just becasue you write a few words, waiting for luck and ai to do your dirty work. 👏
autotune, orquestal vst libraries, and now visual art…
remember when art was an inspiring symbol of passion and effort
I would argue AI art is transformative and thus IS copyrighted by the prompter/creator.
well if any two persons on separate computers enter the same text for the AI would the output be the same image?
is there not some part of the software to make output unique? I dont mean the file hash. thanks
What do you think make people want to pay you instead of just go to the AI instead?
The AI will evolve in their work and customer service to the point it will have better communication than you. Why need a middle man?
This is what AI is capable of. Do you see the positive and negative impact it does?
Put a font on a Midjourney render is not been a artist.
As a artist I start using Midjourney, but I spend sometimes 20h on photoshop to have the image I wanted.
I see it as a lack of respect to sell your creation by signing, when the computer has done 100% of the work
But I agree with you, the art market will soon be oversaturated. Hobbyists will get jobs as illustrators and that's a problem. When the client has an extremely specific request he will realize the trickery
Wish i could see the dislikes on this one
i think you shouldn't copyright it because different users might input the same thing and get the same output. what happens then.
Thanks for the amazing video! i want to just to say that i don't get why now this artists are coming out complaining. I'm a senior developer and i make websites, you ARTISTS make your own portfolios using WIX or tools like that instead of paying a developer to make it and you don't give a damn about it and for sure you don't know how much we have to study to keep at pace with the evolving field. So why the hell you are complaining now !? just get over it, AI has been created to help not replace, if you feel so bad about it it means you are not confident enough in your skills!
💀💀
shameful
With someone like you in the business, my art is like bad karma, you win already but go ahead and amaze us anyhow.
Start to finish, how long does it take you to market your product?
Can one copyright a paintbrush? No.
Instead of explaining us how to do it, why dont you show us by doing it yourself. Hate these kind of people.
Why does AI art look so gloomy and creepy?
Traditional art still has a market!
I don't understand the copyright issue. Why do they even need to know it was "a.i. generated"? Seems like a case of being a need-to-know basis and nobody needs to know.
I really wish someone would invite me to Mid Journey. I am excited about it.
People are malding in the comment section rn and I am all here for it
27:49 I just love the little pause in your sentence when you scrolled past that book cover.. Haaahahaa
You shouldn’t gain anything from it if it didn’t require any effort.
AI generated images are pretty perfect for book covers and such for sure. Pretty easy to make a picture that catches someones imagination.
talking conspiracy theories, it is said that the cosmos is crazy about earth art so i wouldn t worry as an artist
thanks so much..I learned a lot!
I don't understand why people hate AI-generated art so much. It's just another tool like anything else. You still need to put work into it if you want to get good work out of it. I photoshop the hell out of my ai-renders to get them just right. People should really look into things before they have such negative opinions.
AI-generated art….. is art. Some old people just don't get it yet, as always
I believe anything that's coming strictly from Ai-Image-Generators is not necessarily a self created image. It is Ai generated. There is very little human interaction between what the words mean and what the Ai does with them. So to claim that someone has actually created the image by them self? That's a bolt statement. And I am not saying that someone who''s Ai to create an image is not involved in the creative process behind it. It's their words, their text they use to navigate the Ai. But in the end it still stays an image that's generated by the bot. It's like as if I would give an very order to a chef to make something for me and claim that I was the cook. I might have been involved but I wasn't the one cooking the finished product. So this begs the question, what do people really know about the process? How much controll do they really have over it? They had no coince in the references the machine used, they had no control in how the algorithm is interpreting their words, they have no controll in the choice of images the machine decided to "learn" from. And this is not just a mere philosophical issue because it is very clear that deep learning or machine learning works very different to a human does it. We still don't know if that will have an effect on the images it creates in the future. For example, when more and more Ai content is created what could happen is that over time the image creation will become more and more similar, the machines learning from each other and devloping a bias over certain styles and images. And that's not something that can be easily resolved.
Not to mention that in a short time the whole market for illustrations will become completely saturated. Even more than it already is.
I think a lot of artists define the value of art through suffering. “How long did it take to make? How many years did you study? How long did you suffer to make this beautiful thing? You didn’t suffer at all? Then it isn’t art.”
Prompts are no less than magic words, prompt files no less than spell books, and AI artists no less than wizards.
Ai generated, it says it in the title. It's not someone's art, it's the ai's. I think that's the issue
New ai "artists" (because typing keywords like a google search is artist worth title) don't own the art, they can't satisfy a customer that might want specific changes to the end result.
Ai as a job tool is only useful to actual artists that have the skill to manually fix the resulting image
Thanks for the ideas good man
I have a problem and I would like people give me their opinion on this.
_When you are criticizing art you are looking for two things: The technique of the artist and the creative idea of the artist, but when you are looking to a AI generated image the only thing that you can give credit is the creative idea? or the theoretical knowledge of art and composition of the person who give their idea to the AI? because I feel there is not efford at all (physically speaking) when you are making AI art, I think the only efford people would make is speaking in a way that the AI can understand and the technique of the painting it is made by the AI so, I feel like is just giving Ideas to the AI and just choosing the one you like. so I would like to give my opinion (no intention of offending) I don't see myself buying something that is just generate by a AI because is just a pretty image somebody choose. I apologize for my bad english.
Very informative thanks
As far as I tried in top three sites, things only came out as child doodles. May be some kids could do that better. A normal sentence can't do it at all, may be a more complicated guideline needed or only paid ones.
H.G. Giger was way ahead of us
It's funny, because even with AI making art so quickly its not certain you'll be profitable 😂
Makes me feel pretty bad for my artist friends
ai art is debatable in terms of copyright since its made by thousands if not millions of artist's art. someone won an art contest using ai art which made me feel.. uncomfortable. i hope they realise the difference in human and ai art and make them a seperate category in contests. im just commenting this to see what people think.
though, its REALLY GOOD for concept art, as it can spark that tiny creative side of the brain to create a masterpiece
You can't sell it as NFT it's clearly stated in Midjourney TnC.
rarible?
Legal and philosophical issues there. AI art is art, I'd argue. The copyright question is tough, but I'd say if you typed in the commands, it's yours, and probably also keeps belonging to midjourney unless you pay them extra. That's where it will end up. Why? Because AI (think midjourney) is a tool. Photoshop is a tool, and includes neural filters now. Kind of the same thing. It's just that tools are getting more powerful. If you feel you need to spend 20h on an image to call it art or call it your own, you're ultimately just lying to yourself. Artists have very little moats.
I am not a lawyer, but as an author, we can see that The List or ingredients and measurement part of a Recipe can not be copywrite protected, only the description is protected. So for me that is just the same as the prompts. They are a list of instructions to bake an image.
If you take the image and use it as a reference and basis of an image and then enhance it yourself as a reference, then the art you create using the reference is now UNIQUE..
So just like adding the description to a Recipe.. is the protected part of the recipe.. so the Prompt and output are considered generic but if you add your own input then it is unique.
its not possible to copyright A.I ''art'' because you cant tell if its man made or not. I follow countless artists online that create art that looks like alot of the cityscapes etc that people make with A.I, but by painting, drawing, digital art etc. Its never going to get copyrighted, simple as that.
You can't says AI art is strictly a computers art. It's your imagination. The ai is just a tool to express your mind. If we give the computer 100% credit then musicians and many other artist need to credit the technology and team their using. The more of a vision you have the more of the credit becomes 50% yours and the ai tool just helps you achieve that.
Thanks brother. Liked the video and subscribed. Gonna check out your stuff. Keep making the genuine content, Cheers!
What im trying to figure out is, im trying to make my own card game with ai art. Not to sell, just for fun. But card printing companies will not print copyrighted art. However, since AI generated art is not "copyrighted". Do you think there will be any problem getting them professionally printed?
What a con. I'd never buy this junk. Toaster art.
Just today (Sep 2022) Getty Images has announced they will no longer accept AI generated images for use as stock and all existing images will be removed. They cite the copyright “issue” as a reason.
I have my own store, but the big problem with having your own store/website is traffic/visitors coming to your store where the larger platforms has been around for years and about everyone knows about them.
PLEASE read the whole thing before constructing your argument
Y’all are actually trying to give art a concrete definition 😭 “art” is subjective, expressive, and boundless. You do not get to say what it is and is not just because AI generated art isn’t the kind of “art” that appeals to you 😂 no, the users who divulge in it are not being artistically engaged in there drawing, painting, coloring, and maybe even editing when doing this stuff, but they are engaged in the cognitive cultivation of literary art nomenclature required for the production of these pieces. If they edit it after, even better, but knowledge and imagination encapsulate art. In this very DIFFERENT type of art than the more revered and appreciated kind, some threshold artistry is required for the production of ORIGINAL and UNIQUE works that OTHER PEOPLe (the audience) are willing to invest and interact with! No computer-generate image in a reputable ai software will ever be able to be replicate completely so it actually is unique and original, especially when nobody knows what nomenclature the user put into the AI art TOOL. However, it is true that the user did not originally CONSTRUCT the RANDOMIZED image. But they did inspire something that will most likely never be replicated. Moral of the story: ART comes in many forms. Sorry that this isn’t the type that appeals to most 🤷♂️. And I’m not saying that the ai artists are more talented or skilled than contemporary artists who don’t need technology to produce amazing art, but I am saying that one could not exclude an ai artist from being an artist just because they use completely different approach and SKILL SET in the composition of their ART images. AND I say “their” because if the ai software gives ownership of the generated image to the ai artist, then 🤷♂️ it IS NOW theirs.
Tell me what you guys think. at the end of the day, I can recognize that this is just my opinion and perspective.
Please parse your video into chapters. https://youtu.be/TiKCutSNIJM
can I sell images of the stable diffusion demo version?
Hello Vladimir,
I would like to attend the A.I. Generated Art : Community Workshop. Can you please tell me the next time the A.I. Generated Art : Community Workshop will be available? Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Great info my man…
But the export size is 1024×1024 pixels which is too small
Hey man I love your videos!!! i wanted to start my online Tees store but I don't know how to get my art in high resolution and the correct sizing to upload on my store for the mock ups
Thank you heaps
Let’s be honest, every postman would of been worried when the first text messages were being sent, now they all have smartphones in their pockets.
who buy A.I GENERATED IMAGE if they can make their own image??????????????????????
The way I see it is like a tool where a non artist get to create something without putting years of effort just like cooking at home you don't have to spend years to become a MasterChef
And gives insane powers to the actual creators and artists and aid them with their masterpieces
Win-Win for all
You do realize this will oversaturate the market and all art will be faaar cheaper, hence you'll earn much less?
How to get these ideas for images
Your text with produce a different image when used again though…so I still dissagree with your reasoning. Also, its made with millions of images on the internet righ? Its a very interesting too for artists to use as their own personal concept artist, than copyright the work they make themselves.
In 5 to 10 years, almost anyone who needs a book cover, wall art, prints etc will know about this technology and just do it on their own. Makes me feel sad for artists who have true skill and knowledge of art.
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
infinite NFTs.
My favorite use for AI is to give it just enough that it has to fill in the latent spaces, and then see what wild and weird things come out. To me, it that brings back the primal aspect of contemporary art that is getting lost in pixel-perfect 8k renditions and is much harder to detect as AI.
ice its actually working, im suprised
Thank you! <3
Ai is taking over Artist, want game asset, just type in few word boom, want a loading screen? just type if few image boom, want a whole scene? type in words boom!
Can we sell these Ai Art for money?
if it's AI generated it's NOT Art. . . Art is a creative process (or a product of such) used by conscious living human beings to express higher states of emotional and intellectual being informed by years of hard work, practice, life, happiness and suffering, etc… AI is dead robot or a machine, so it produces images or assets or products, but it does not produce ART.
Why should you be able to copyright the AI produced art when the machine has stored and learned from copyrighted material taken from other artists without consent?
A useful vid! Thank you! 🙏
