@davidrevoy For those (like me) who are out of the loop: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/11/deviantart-upsets-artists-with-its-new-ai-art-generator-dreamup/. TL;DR: DeviantArt created an art generator called DreamUp based on Stable Diffusion, and art uploaded by the site’s users will be used for training unless they opt out.   Deviantart: Is this the line for getting into trouble for massive IP and creator rights issues? Github: Yes, it is. @Poulpette Yes, they are dominant on this market right now. But they have been bought by Epic Game, and I guess because Epic now co-own the right on all uploads/artworks on the platform, they'll try soon to use these data for something similar. I was sure this type of IA move would comes from Binance (Adobe) or Artstation (Epic Game) first, from deviantArt it's a bit unexpected. @davidrevoy @nyandzette Moi aussi. Ils aurait pu au moins faire un blog-post pour prendre la temperature avant de mettre les deux pieds dans le plat. Peut-être un vote unanyme des actionnaires/shareholders devant des projections de courbes positive financière faites par un bureau d'étude bien crapuleux? @davidrevoy these are sad times for artists indeed.. Your nice comic strip is perfectly on point @davidrevoy Yep, they definitely did perform a massive foot shooting. My friends mutual worded it as: "No matter how logical and well-intentioned the product was, no one could listen under the immediate fight-or-flight response this announcement created". I don't have very impressive art on the site, but damn did I not go to specifically opt out all that I felt I don't want used for such a thing.  @davidrevoy @the_luck_witch https://yourdigitalrights.org/ @aral used it to demand deletion of his Twitter data: @davidrevoy I wish there was an #ActivityPub project with features and UI similar to the likes of #DeviantArt. #Pixelfed is not it, #MediaGoblin is long dormant and way behind. There's nothing but if music has #Funkwhale, there's definitely a place to be made for art! @lemonheep Oh yes, true. I started to use Twitdesk because of that, but the image preview was smaller (they fixed it recently) and the prominent display of the like/reshare 'score' felt always wrong to me. Like if this amount tried to 'nudge' my appreciation of an artwork. I'm so happy the count here is not that prominent. @davidrevoy I may have missed something but... can't I DELETE my account on #DeviantArt? Only deactivate it? @Petit_Lutin Ha, I never went to this section. Not sure what their ToS says about that. In any case, the word is really badly chosen, it really feels like a simple 'offline' deactivation. Bad. |
@davidrevoy I love your 4koma type formats :)
