@neilturkewitz @thebruess @SarahCAndersen I’m familiar with this story and have been reading a lot about all of the issues/entities it discusses. I come out in a different place for a large number of reasons it would take an essay to explain. I’m not at all insensate to her upset, but I do come to different conclusions. — PolitiTweet.org

@Hugs4U6 Not sure you understand what AI art is. Nothing about this is attempting to replicate or duplicate Dave McKean. You are pretty upset about something you appear not to understand at all. — PolitiTweet.org

@gregstephenson Sorry, I mean a Capcom property licensed by Nintendo. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@gregstephenson Not sure you understand how algorithms work, man. This isn’t AI attempting to replicate McKean, this is AI attempting to find the non-existent median point between McKean and a Nintendo property that has absolutely nothing to do with McKean. Of course it doesn’t look like McKean. — PolitiTweet.org

@eEqualsMCEscher I’m a metamodernist, I understand that (a) meta-art exists and will continue to be enabled by changes in technology and paradigm, and (b) all art is an inspiration and building block for future art... which has only been the case for literally the entire history of art — PolitiTweet.org

@miskiart @Deiloh As a lawyer, I want to see laws followed. So if new technology spurs new lobbying from artists to create new laws, and if new laws are in fact created making things that are happening right now illegal, I will oppose those things continuing to happen because they are now illegal. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh AI art will change how artists operate and how certain paywalled sites operate. That’s in the nature of the law and technology: as new technologies arise, new behavior patterns emerge; people (e.g., some artists) lobby for new laws; new technology and new lobbying spurs new laws. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh I would vehemently oppose any AI product that was illegally *accessing* data that is not available to be viewed (“read”) by the public, *or* any AI product that violates a legal contract by purchasing access to a paywalled site that *expressly* forbids scraping *in its contract*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh What AI is doing is perfectly replicating how human artists work: we see data, some of it in the natural world (captured as photographs) and some of it fictionalized (as art) and we internalize all we see to create our own artistic vision. If AI art is stealing, all art is theft. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh Unless an AI breaks into sites or accesses paywalled material otherwise inaccessible to the public, its ability to “read” public data the same way humans read data and reassemble it into new things by combining millions of *other* reams of digital data is not illegal or stealing. — PolitiTweet.org

@MaxBrane lol, no doubt — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh So where we are is that this has nothing to do with the law, it has to do with what you want the law to be. And it has nothing to do with Art, it has to do with your feelings about your own art. You’re offended by AI art, and I’m not here to try to convince you to feel otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I’m saying as an attorney *and* a working artist *and* an academic who studies precisely this sort of art that absolutely nothing has been stolen. Meanwhile, *you* are saying, “I know you’re an attorney, but I think I understand the law better than you.” — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@Paul_VanDerMeer No, I just asked AI to show me an “illustrated” version of “Seth Abramson.” Then, in a separate input, I described my dog in very basic terms and asked for the “Pixar” version. — PolitiTweet.org

@EGBDF06 If you go to the Midjourney Discord on Discord you can type “/imagine” in the Newbie area, add an input (words framing what you want the image to be), and an AI bot will create several images answering to your input after a short period of processing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh Sorry to disappoint you with my personal opinions. I am going to take a shot in the dark and assume you have some personal opinions that I in turn also disagree with. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh When someone’s work is illegally duplicated, I urgently oppose it (assuming the work isn’t in the commons). An AI commingling an almost boundless body of data that’s at some point been voluntarily dropped on the internet, and doing so to create new art objects, doesn’t offend me. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@miskiart @Deiloh I spent years as a working poet and when an AI bot scraped all my poems to create a poem “in the style of Seth Abramson” and someone published it in an anthology, I was flattered and overjoyed. I’m a metamodernist—I’ve always felt the way I do now about this sort of thing, sorry. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@psuedofolio But I do understand why artists would and do feel threatened by AI art. As AI art gets better, there’s almost no question that it’s going to make everyone feel empowered to “make art” purely through inputs rather than technical skill. That’s troubling and I have no answer for it. — PolitiTweet.org
