Utilization chat And MedjourneyReshi created drafts of scripts and illustrations that would put together a story that would, as he put it, show children the magic of artificial intelligence. Both programs, free for at least a trial period, require the user to write prompts which they then improve by recreating images or text.
The end result is impressive for anyone unfamiliar with AI but often far from perfect: images tend to turn up with strange anomalies — in Rishi’s case, Crooked eyes and 12 fingers – And ChatGPT-generated text can contain quirks and errors that remind us that AI is not completely Human. Rishi spent hours refining the claims and editing the script created for the book, dismissing the criticism that all he had to do was “press a button.”
He has sold over 900 copies since he penned his book.Alice and Sparkle,” on Amazon in early December. But a look at the reviews — 60 percent 5 stars and 40 percent 1 star — as well as his mentions on Twitter suggest there’s a growing divide around these gadgets as the public considers whether they’ll cause harm. starving starving artist, or whether they are moral at all.
The man who made [this] He is not an “author,” nor is he an “illustrator,” yet in his bio above, he claims to “write,” writes one Amazon reviewer. “Our world is turning into a joke.”
Rishi is not averse to technology, but he understands why some are concerned.
“With any kind of new technology that’s incredibly powerful, it’s somewhat threatening to people,” he said, adding, “You see people asking, ‘Is this going to replace my job?'” “…that concern—we shouldn’t pretend it’s not something serious.”
One of the main complaints about AI art, for example, is that some tools seem to have learned from art data sets created by real people—with real copyright protection—to provide fodder for their own computer-generated creations.
Reshi doesn’t have an answer for that: “People say, ‘Well, if this model is trained on my artwork, and my artwork is copyrighted, is that fair or legal?'” But then I think you’ll get into this philosophical debate, which is how this differs from human learning [about] Their favorite artist or anyone who draws Batman fan art? One could argue that the computer is doing the same thing here.” He adds, “I don’t have a very specific position here yet.”
Already, artificial intelligence has made its way into the creative world. Last summer, a guy from Colorado She won the State Gallery art competition With an image created on Midjourney. In November, Lensa debuted a new feature that was submitted AI selfies They stream on social media channels. a Comedy robot It was devised by an Oregon State University professor who began learning how to gauge a crowd while telling pre-written jokes. Shudu, the “world’s first digital supermodel”, was created through artificial intelligence and has been created Used in a Louis Vuitton advertisement.
Some notable creators have made their disdain for this technology clear. Australian singer Nick Cave recently described ChatGPT as an exercise in “Replication as a hoax— and a song he wrote in his style “a grotesque mockery of what it means to be human.” During a presentation on artificial intelligence, famed animator and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki referred to the technology as “An insult to life itself. “
Online, artists have also come together to organize a digital protest against art created by artificial intelligence. Last month, ArtStation was criticized by many after AI-generated images appeared on its site. One protest image called on AI users to “pick up a crayon like the rest of us did.”
Earlier this week, a US law firm announced a class action lawsuit against Midjourney, Stability AI, and DeviantArt, alleging the use of “billions of copyright images” in a dataset “without compensation or consent from the artists.”
AI photo products are not just infringing artists’ rights; Whether they aim to or not, these products will eliminate the ‘artist’ as a viable career path,” A Release From the law firm of Joseph Savery. She added, “If music streaming can be implemented within the framework of the law, then artificial intelligence products can do so too.” The law firm did not respond to interview requests from The Post.
Nick Thompson, an expert in human-computer interaction at Curtin University in Australia, He said he had heard of cases where a real artist’s signature appeared in AI-generated images, and that the creators were “completely upset about it”.
“The thing is, the cat is out of the bag and there is no going back, so I don’t think litigation is going to stop these platforms from continuing to develop and collect as much data as possible,” he said. “It will continue to happen.”
Thompson believes that many are overestimating the current level of sophistication in AI software such as ChatGPT or Midjourney, both of which were released last year. He said that AI is really just a “simulated intelligence” – it can’t think like a real human being.
“Over time, we will realize that it is not as great as it may seem,” he said. “… I’d like to believe that an astute consumer who appreciates art and creativity will still be able to notice the difference and be drawn to the work of creators.”
After the explosive backlash on Twitter, Reshi “warmed up” before sharing his latest personal project with the public — a fictional video about an animated Batman that he put together using an edited version of a script he created on ChatGPT. He created images on Midjourney, scaled them to greater resolution using Pixelmator’s AI functions, and then recorded himself doing a voiceover that he edited using the Adobe AI tool. He edited the video on the Motionleap mobile app.
“I’ve seen claims that this is going to replace comic artists,” he said. “I actually don’t agree with this matter.”
While he admits he may be too optimistic, he said he hopes professional creators can also find a use for these tools. Storyboard artists or illustrators can test their ideas by generating them with AI and then use their hard-earned skills to create a more accurate product, he said. He said that amateur content creators might also use these AI tools to help their visions come to fruition, as he did with his Batman video.
As it is, some amateur video game developers have begun to look to Midjourney to create game assets and graphics, while others have used the software to brainstorm visual ideas for an indie board game.
“A lot of people see this as empowering for a new set of creators — kids who can’t shoot or write a story well, may now get a head start or jump on this,” he said. “I see this as equalizing in many ways.”
