Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a significant transformation to the art world, offering emerging artists a robust tool to express their visions like never before. AI systems like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney provide artists with the freedom to experiment with various styles and techniques to create unique and thought-provoking artworks.
However, it’s crucial to keep in mind the importance of respecting the owners of the original training data. It’s crucial to avoid infringing on their rights and take the time to understand copyright laws. Ignoring these legal obligations can have dire consequences.
Nevertheless, AI tools offer endless possibilities, and emerging artists should not be deterred. With passion, creativity, and AI tools, they can improve their artistic visions and redefine traditional art boundaries. By creating unique and original works of art, emerging artists can utilize AI tools in a respectful and revolutionary way.
So, it is my opinion that emerging artists should embrace AI and its power to help them achieve their artistic dreams. The possibilities are limitless when AI is used respectfully, creatively, and with a focus on originality.

The problem is that A.I. “borrows” artwork created by real artists, cannot be copyrighted, and users can be accused of plagiarism. It is a fun tool, to be sure, but users need to be aware of the liabilities involved.

There is a real problem with people purposefully generating images that look like other artists.
I have noticed that if I add artists’ names or specific artists’ styles, doing a Google image search will definitely raise the eyebrows, so to speak. But, when I prompt for generic objects in generic styles (or better, just by describing a style), Google image search shows things that are vaguely similar but not at all looking like any particular artist.
Not every image used to train these AI tools were copyrighted, so we can’t say that all the training data will necessarily generate plagiarized art. Human artists take inspiration from other artists, so where is the delimiter when it comes to AI? For now. it is the responsibility of the artist to ensure their work is original, whether using AI tools or not.
