That's so cool! At first i thought you've meant like hashtag of a character for example # Rem and you've used a Textual Inversion to train an anime module on a thousands of copyrighted characters, which would be cool, but I don't know how legal that is. But that's even better!

Since we are training on Danbooru, it also learns character names and their visuals. You can prompt for "masterpiece portrait of smiling rem, re zero, caustics, textile shading, high resolution illustration" and get this:

Oh my god! This is truly a masterpiece! Which Danbooru dataset do you use? Judging by some of the results of testing the Discord bot, it should be the Danbooru 2019 dataset or something like that. But maybe you're training on a 2021 dataset? If you have 5 TB of storage of course

There's literally a blurry signature at the bottom-right of the left picture. This is just theft.

Pretty much yeah. If we take the practice of tracing and how much people disapprove of that practice unless it's for practice. It's doing the same thing basically.

It's like double plagiarism, because nothing on danbooru is posted with artist's permission. Scum.

I was a lot more ambivalent towards AI generated art before it just boiled down to stealing art. Oh, sorry, it's "training".

So essentially, you’re using a bunch of artists work without their consent?

You aren't "training" anything. You're just stealing the work created by people with actual talent and then calling it your own.

The machine doesn't "steal", it learns like humans learn (it just does it faster)

The AI makes the connection that an artist signs their work, as 'masterpieces' and 'portraits' are known to have. You know it, I know it, most of the world at large knows this, and now AI has learned it. Generally speaking most art is signed, the AI does so in turn.

Did you get any of the artists' permission before feeding their work into the thing that's meant to put them out of business?

Even if the AI used every piece of training data with permission this would still show up. And argument exists for whether it is art theft but having a randomly generated signature is neither here nor there

Could you not just draw or commission artwork specifically for this purpose

Replying to

and

Maybe I will. Maybe I'll hand the commission artwork person an AI picture and say "do something like this, but change this, this and that". Probably more comfortable with trying to describe the whole picture I want and hoping the person understands me.

There are people who would absolutely be willing to offer their art to train an AI for the sheer science of it, but instead you're stealing that art and teaching an algorithm to plagiarize it. Nice job.

Scraping off other people's work without their consent, as long as you all make a buck and cut out the middle man right?

How many artist copyrights did you violate to build your dataset? All of them, is my guess.

Artists are really going to need to coordinate a a petition or something for some automated commercial use copyright legislation. The bigger the organization be better. Convince Disney this is costing them money.
