AI Art By crabfragmentlabs.com

The trend of AI and art is becoming more and more widely discussed. Because of the global launch of Midjourney that develops AI to create art in all genres. Just enter the order or the direction of the desired image. In addition to Midjourney, there are also developments to create art in many forms such as Adjusting the original image into an avatar image in different ways or even adjusting the scenery to make it beautiful in the way you want according to the imagination of those who want it. with this limitless capacity Causing talk about art created by AI whether it’s actually copying or creating?

First of all, who is not familiar with AI in terms of art? I have to briefly suggest that It is the use of a program that we can command the system to draw as we want by using keywords. or commands in general English We want to have any image, put that command, for example If you want a sea drawing, enter the word sea and the system will draw a sea picture for you. But in using the instruction set, we can order a wide range. or specific as sea,ship,moon simple command like this We will get a picture of the sea with the moon and the boat. This is an example, but more detailed and specific commands are actually used. to the extent that it can identify the guidelines of famous artists

Is artwork from AI really copyrighted? The issue of copyright is still unclear from laws around the world. But in the art circles, this is considered a serious violation of ethics by all kinds of painters. Because it is well known that it draws the original work of artists around the world and uses a program to modify the drawing on order. Despite the stunning beauty But it’s copying anyway. In foreign countries, the use of AI to draw pictures on some platforms will indicate the original approach that comes from which artist. There is a payment to buy copyright into the system properly. But the work that came out is still not accepted as being 100% correct. Because the subject of commercial use is still vague. Because some platforms do not buy the original into the system properly.

The source of this matter, if you really look at it, you have to say that humans created AI and developed it to be unimaginably intelligent. from wanting to create to facilitate various fields of work It turns out that AI will replace humans in almost every field, including art. Many people think that using programs is just a tool to facilitate work, but imagination, emotions, feelings must come out of the human mind who creates works, but in this era, AI can make art beyond human imagination and there are images from Not many AI’s are capable of conveying emotions and feelings so well that it’s frightening.

iodevelopment vs abuse just a thin line If analyzed objectively I have to admit that it’s still vague whether AI artwork is development or piracy. Because when using commands to actually make pictures, AI users specify lines or colors, using guidelines from artists. But the system brought only some parts, did not bring the whole work to be decorated. besides really intending That is, use the original image from the artist to put in a new order. There are many platforms developed in this way. But what’s more frightening is that it can be used commercially despite known to be vague, both in Thailand and abroad Art works from AI have been sold or images created by AI have already been used. online novel cover There are many writers who use this method of making pictures. to reduce the cost of hiring a painter The price of hiring a novel cover artist has many rates. Some people want to reduce the cost in this section. Use the method of making AI images instead, and in foreign countries, every step is taught as well. Say it’s really a thin line that the use of AI art Let’s build it commercially, is it wrong or right? must wait for many more years of clarity before coming to a conclusion on this matter.

which many fiction platforms in Thailand It is still unclear in issuing the rules of online novel cover because copyright law is not yet covered And many artists are taking advantage of AI to create better work. By using the outline of the drawing that is the work of his own Put it into the system and use commands to adjust the image format to be more beautiful, more detailed and better without referring to the work of other artists specifically to get a more perfect work. and can call for a higher price than before All that has been said, I must say. Everything happened because of human hands. I don’t use machines anywhere. It depends on who will use the brain or artificial intelligence in what way. Dare to learn and adapt along with this thing? and for the story of AI, artificial intelligence There are many interesting angles. We will introduce each other next time.
