I've been caught out in a recent post I made of a Youtube DJ mix that used AI art in the video (I didn't actually watch the video: that's on me). I've also seen some comments about album artwork being AI in some posts.

From a personal standpoint: I don't want to hear/see generative AI stuff, and I don't want to intentionally promote it. However, it's impossible to determine with 100% accuracy if something uses gen AI, so any kind of approach to monitoring it is going to be best-effort.

I'd like to hear this community's thoughts. Would you like there to be a community policy for the exclusion of gen AI content?

It's the Luddites vs the looms

I always thought using the term Luddite as an insult completely missed the point πŸ˜‰

Future generations train on the creations of the past

I think that's a nuanced difference, or at least, I see it that way. Artists are inspired and influenced by what came before them, but they are also awarded both rights to and responsibility for what they create. If an artist plagiarises someone else's work, they can be held accountable.

Gen AI muddies that. An artist using a gen AI model has no knowledge of what that model was trained on. The organisation that provides the model does, but they are at a remove from any process that results in an output, and the major AI platforms are openly hostile to being held accountable for the output of their models. What about the model itself? if we accept it's using a creative process to produce output, should it be afforded rights and responsibilities to what it produces? that opens up a whole ethical debate too.
