Lots of young people use Instagram.

And if you read the article (what a concept LOL), this can be used for photos taken and spread on Facebook a long time ago. If your cad of a high school boyfriend posted the pictures you gave him 15-20 years ago on Facebook, you can send a hash to this thing to have them removed.

An honest question… a lot of artists say they are mad because AI scrapes the internet for photos and then uses the ‘knowledge’ to creat its own imagery with consent or credit. But isn’t that literally what all Artists do? Or many? Go to art school, study the greats, learn by copying their styles, then one day you become good enough to sit down and think of a ‘prompt’ in your head and make art.

I agree that AI art should be labeled as such, but I don’t think it’s any less of an art (especially when you’re working with photoshop to post process it etc) but why are artist mad about its existence and feel like there is ‘credit’ due?

Not trying to be contrarian, looking for a conversation and input from artists.

No, it wasn't that. And I don't think it was Adam Harvey. I'm thinking it was around 2006 or so, but I could be off by a bit. It was really the same, an art project with bright infrared LEDs that washed out the face on nighttime surveillance cameras. But he may not have invented it. The guy who did the hoodie says in another post that he read about the idea in a William Gibson novel.

OP you should change the title of your post. Microsoft doesn't control ChatGPT and the article is about their Bing one.

Everyone in the comments is right about what they're saying, but I still think it's important that it's clear they know who this article is about (we know not everyone reads the actual article, but your headline doesn't even match that of the article)
