I would never intentionally present images created by an AI that was a direct copy of the work of anyone else.I also would ask, at what point does a Photoshop filter’s effects on an image function differently than an AI’s manipulations. I do not think that discounts the idea that using one’s own original work to filter through an AI is inherently theft or devoid of creativity regardless of how the AI is trained. The more I read about Lensa, the less I am interested in using their product because of the ethics of the company. I will never defend how Lensa or any other corporate monolith runs their business, but I do think there is a segment of the “creative” community who are so concerned with notions of “copyright” that they can be stifling to genuine experimentation and creativity. I am not at all offended or put off by the criticisms of my work based in the ethics (perceived or otherwise) of the app I am using, but I feel like the work I am making with it is designed to open up an expansive discussion of how any intelligence (artificial or otherwise) learns to make art without some level of copying. The critique of the images and the tools can also begin. ![]() When you push an AI to try to use it skills on unexpected material (as I try to) the experimentation and frustration of the plagiaristic impulses hopefully begins. I am wrestling with the ideas of how one might train an AI without the risk of plagiarism, and my general sense is that when people use an AI explicitly to create something “in the style of” something or someone else the risk of the AI using unaltered training data as a result is higher.
