The increasing sophistication and ease-of-use in AI art generators has prompted a lot of online debate recently. The ethical issues around copyright and crediting are huge. Users experimenting with programs like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Free AI Art Generator are arguing over endless topics around ownership and creative license, down to the question of whether a particularly effective AI art prompt could potentially be copyrighted, even if the resulting art can’t be.

"Greg Rutkowski is an artist with a distinctive style, known for creating fantasy scenes of dragons and epic battles. Rutkowski has now become one of the most popular names in AI art, despite never having used the technology himself."

"The generators are being commercialized right now, so you don't know exactly what the final output will be of your name being used over the years." -- Greg Rutkowski

Take 4 images of a subject, give it to this new Google AI, and it can change the background behind your little doggy... and make your little doggy swimming, sleeping, in a bucket, and getting a haircut. Similarly, if you have a pair of stylish sunglasses, you can ask a bear to wear it, make a cool product photo, or put it in front of the Eiffel Tower. Put your favorite teapot into different contexts, see it in use, or see what it would look like if it was transparent. Create art renditions of your test subject from legendary artists of the past.

OpenArt.AI is another AI art library and search engine. I tried my "driver's license" search from last week that Lexica.art excelled at but Libraire.ai totally got tripped up over. OpenArt.AI also flopped, but I got a bunny driving a school bus and a couple of images of dogs driving sports cars, so at least the result was entertaining.

But who needs a search engine when you can just generate images yourself?

"I won my three year AI progress bet in three months." "Making a bet on whether AI image models could draw some compositionality-heavy pictures by 2025."

"DALL-E2 is bad at 'compositionality', ie combining different pieces accurately. For example, here's its response to 'a red sphere on a blue cube, with a yellow pyramid on the right, all on top of a green table'."

"1. A stained glass picture of a woman in a library with a raven on her shoulder with a key in its mouth"

"2. An oil painting of a man in a factory looking at a cat wearing a top hat"

"3. A digital art picture of a child riding a llama with a bell on its tail through a desert"

"4. A 3D render of an astronaut in space holding a fox wearing lipstick"

"5. Pixel art of a farmer in a cathedral holding a red basketball"

"Imagen got 3/5 and so I would say it wins the bet."

"The original bet from June of this year was about whether AIs would be able to do this by 2025, ie three years from now. In fact, not only did they reach this level in three months, but probably they were at this level before the bet was even made -- Google announced Imagen in May 2022; it just took me three months to convince someone there to run my prompts."

"Online art communities begin banning AI-generated images." ArtStation, DeviantArt, and others have banned AI-generated art.

"However you feel about the ethics of AI art, online art communities are facing a very real problem of scale: AI art can be created orders of magnitude faster than traditional human-made art. A powerful GPU can generate thousands of images an hour, even while you sleep."
