"Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery, or theft? Perhaps it comes down
to the imitator.
Text-to-image artificial intelligence systems such as DALL-E 2, Midjourney and
Stable Diffusion are trained on huge amounts of image data from the web. As a
result, they often generate outputs that resemble real artists’ work and style.
It’s safe to say artists aren’t impressed. To further complicate things,
although intellectual property law guards against the misappropriation of
individual works of art, this doesn’t extend to emulating a person’s style.
It’s becoming difficult for artists to promote their work online without
contributing infinitesimally to the creative capacity of generative AI. Many
are now asking if it’s possible to compensate creatives whose art is used in
this way.
One approach from photo licensing service Shutterstock goes some way towards
addressing the issue."
