When I decided to "create" and release DVM Andrea Brown Drawn By AI, the idea behind was exactly this:"The whole matter starts here", a sort of philosophyc milestone. With "the matter" I exactly intended all the pros and cons – in ethics, morality, taste, creativity, society changes – which the usage of AI would have taken into our life in general, and in particular into the Scene.
Like for Mazinger Z, the text-to-image AI looks like having a double role, which can be unbalanced on one side or the other, based on the ethic use we do of it: it can be a demon ("ma") or a god ("jin"). The same polemics are exploded in the bigger C64 scene, producing several long running discussions, a valid proposal for a Guide of Ethics, some ironic GFX compos, specific tags to assign to the prods aaand sooo on.
After two years and a half from that release, the artists reacted by activating several tools online which defend their works from the monstruous hunger of the tti-AIs, like Glaze; or they reacted by establishing organizations targeted to open a debate about how much pressure the AIs perform over several forms of job, and about the limitations to AIs to predate the artists' works, like EGAIR in Europe.
Meanwhile, in the same range of time, the tti-AIs have completely changed their potential, gaining a preponderant position of power against the plain human creativity. Compare the picture I converted in the August of 2022 with those casual four which I literally did in SECONDS with absolutely no effort.
   
Obviously, the topic here looks like veeery large and articulate in so many paths, and this is not the right thread where to talk about it. I only wanna point out that, hey: here we are into it, we too are now, taking the glaring example of the Haegar's logo as a starting trigger. |
