I still have to recognize the genius of artificial intelligence with this proposal for the cover of Pepper&Carrot book 5 and its half-melted Pepper and its faithful companion Carrot as a yellow rabbit with a dragon-cow in the background (with obviously hemoroid problems). Or this cocaine addict Kiki mascot in the midst of a withdrawal crisis. Striking!

@davidrevoy is this dall-e? When did it get chance to train on your work?! Whoa!

David Revoy

@mahmoudajawad Hey, it's stablediffusionweb.com/#demo , and it's trained on laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/ dataset (same for DallE and Midjourney). This set contains 20 years of all my art online, so hundreds (thousands?) of artworks of me. Open-movies concept art, all pepper&Carrot, all my illustrations, etc... It's possible to find them in the dataset directly (link on the LAION page, or haveibeentrained.com/ . It's against my consent, of course. Here is a screenshot sample:

@davidrevoy this bothers me. I'm all for #AI advancement, but also with total respect to everyone's work. For me we will be there when we end-up with an AI that is able to tell which works derived the end-results from, which would contribute to ending this dilemma.

@mahmoudajawad Hi, Yes, I have nothing personal against AI, or Image resynthesis software based on neural networks. As a geek and enthusiast for visual art, it's amazing to see this tech. But it should just be trained on Public Domain material. There is enough of them on Wikimedia and other websites for a good starter set. That's why I decided to not use it in my work, and added a "🚫 No A.I." on my bio for now.

@davidrevoy @mahmoudajawad So AI generation would even violate your Creative Commons licence, because the generator does not give any kind of credit. Right?

@davidrevoy @mahmoudajawad
I have an idea of somewhat like "free art dataset initiative", to enable everyone to send their drawings to a common dataset under highly permissive license like wtfpl, and everyone will be allowed to use it in whatever kind of project, commercial or not.
I am lack of technical knowledge to maintain this kind of thing by myself, but I'll be glad to donate all of my drawings i can find if someone else will run this initiative.

David Revoy

@lonelyowl Yes, good idea. Maybe just ask the one who want this to upload on Wikmedia Commons under Public Domain.
Then it will be probably possible to download the picture in a batch way (they have an API for sure). @mahmoudajawad

H₂O 💦

@davidrevoy The cover is terrible! 😱 Kiki is better, as long as you don't spend too much time scanning the drawing.
You won't be replaced so easily! 🥰 😂
