IANAL, but at least for the moment, you can't copyright a style. I think where things get sticky and complicated is where an artist's name, and therefore his/her brand is being used without their permission. But there are common cases of using brands and even product names outright, that seem to fall under the radar. Ever see a fragrance named something like "Smells like Polo"? Or advertising claims which name the competitor directly? The thing which seems to trigger action in these uses is if the consumer of said goods is reasonably misled into thinking the copy is the real deal. Of course, there are other angles which could be pursued, like the use causing damage to a brand, etc. Almost all of that type of stuff happens civilly though, so all it really takes is a judge willing to hear the case and a sympathetic jury to get restitution. --- Quote from: Zebidee on September 22, 2022, 04:32:25 am ---Then you have the problem where the AI doesn't really get the artist's style and/or techniques right. Friend showed me an AI Monet few weeks back and, while I recognised that it emulated the Monet style, it was wrong.The blobs of colour were too far apart, not "colliding" with each other. There was not enough of the intricate little background details I expect from Monet, even in a "still life". That, and I doubted that Monet would ever paint a cat. Least not that particular cat. I will leave you to enjoy one of my favourite paintings of mountains, trees and waterways. No pine trees. --- End quote --- I totally agree. In the nature images I generated, I was trying really hard to get it to do a proper "Bob Ross" because, why not :). While it did a fairly decent job with composition and his tree structures, there is still something missing. The interactions of the paint and tools he typically used weren't really present. It ends up looking more like a generic painting, than if it was even just a photo of one of his works. For that reason, I think the AI, at least in it's current form, is more well suited to digital art than it is analog. It makes a certain amount of sense, though, as it was trained on digital representations of painted work which may not have had easily discernible examples of all those small details. It could also be that the model just hasn't yet been trained enough to get to that level. I do like the style of that painting. Though, I did have to look at it for a bit to appreciate it. I have to admit that I like pine trees, or really any trees in art. The structure of them is complex, and just the way the artist deals with that complexity can set the mood for the entire piece. Well, that and the fact that there's a lot of them where I live so I can relate :) |

How does someone mess around with generating AI artwork? Do you need a fancy computer or some crazy program or is this all done on a website somewhere. The images that have been posted are pretty neat. |

It can be used with a vanilla laptop using CPU, but it will take a long time to generate images. Any Nvidia GPU (currently) with at least 4gb will help that along tremendously, but the better it is and the more NVRAM it has on board, the faster things will go and the higher the resolution you can generate. Right now, the best bang-for-buck is an RTX 3060, due to it's 12gb of NVRAM. With this card and 512x512 images, a 50 iteration image only takes 5-7 seconds. That same image will take about 20 minutes+ using CPU only. --- Quote ---or some crazy program --- End quote --- Yes, the free one is called "Stable Diffusion 2.0". There are a number of "one-click-installs" and custom GUI's out there for both Windows and Linux. --- Quote ---or is this all done on a website somewhere. --- End quote --- Also yes. The company (StabilityAI) who created and released SD into the public domain also offers a service called DreamStudio. It's in beta and offers time for free at the moment, but it is/will be a pay service. There are also sites like huggingface where it can be run remotely on their machines. Obviously, you get what you pay for with these. |
