Last year there was quite a stir when an American artist was awarded an award at a Colorado state fair for an AI-generated work. Other artists who entered the competition felt “cheated” but Jason Allen, the winner, argued that he did not cheat as his application was transparent about the methods used to create the work. The debate, however, exceeded the participants of that small state fair and raised important questions regarding the ethics of art generated through AI.

Today there are a handful of AI platforms and pakistan mobile database applications that are dedicated exclusively to generating artistic works from a few lines of text. Among them, the best known is DALL-E 2, brought to you by -oh surprise-, the people from OpenAI. Both DALL-E 2 and the rest of the tools of this type are “trained” with all the content available online. In other words, they not only take patterns from works by recognized artists such as Picasso or Van Gogh, but they also draw on the works of emerging artists who upload their content online. This raises very serious questions regarding plagiarism and consent. Some argue that these apps are nothing more than hi-tech rip-offs. On the other hand, many artists are concerned that their works are being used without their consent to “train” these apps.
Ultimately, there is some unhealthy competition going on if these apps feed on the works of millions of artists to produce “new” images that can then be used for commercial purposes. As early as June 2022, Cosmopolitan released the first AI-generated magazine cover. Who would pay for an illustration, a logo or even an artwork to hang in their home when they can produce it for free in an app in a matter of seconds.
