There’s a debate about data, intellectual property, and identity brewing in regard to an app that charges you $8 to turn your selfies into art.
To generate these seemingly unique photos of people, Lensa uses what’s called Stable Diffusion, a model “trained” to learn patterns through an online database of images called LAION-5B. Once the training is complete, it no longer pulls from those images but uses the patterns to create more content. It then “learns” your facial features from the photos you upload and applies them to that art.The learning isn’t the concern for artists. The source of the knowledge is.
“Artists dislike AI art because the programs are trained unethically using databases of art belonging to artists who have not given their consent,” Claire, a digital artist who didn’t want to use her last name to protect her career, told BuzzFeed News. “This is about theft.”I was confused about this too. Y’all, the AI isn’t compiling images to make unique art. It’s stealing art, removing the details, & putting ur face over it. Those are someone’s pre-existing drawings.
