I’m not sure there’s a difference in the sense of copying style. We do it as actual artists. Prompting just takes the skill away is the difference. The truth is that the only way to not have our art stolen or for others to be inspired by it and incorporate into their practice (speaking on real artists not prompters but also to avoid ai scraping) is to never share or sell your art which then means your art isn’t alive. It’s the trade off. Either be hidden and the art doesn’t live, or it lives and is at risk of inspiring someone or being scrapped by ai. I’m probably not gonna post on instagram anymore or join Cara. My photos and art for me only. I’ll let my stuff not live.

Have you ever done any videos about VARA rights? I HIGHLY recommend studying those laws and the history of those rights of artists. I have been able to hold the rights to mu murals when people try to replicate it. Moral rights to our work is very important and can really protect artists federally.

I joined no followers or notifications I think it’s gonna be dead before it takes off because iv lost interest already

The only diffrence between your art and AI art is you can copywrite your art. Ai art is copywrite free so anybody can use it regardless who prompted ai to create it. So it learns by looking at everyones art. Artists have learned from other artists. Businesses always look for ways to reduce costs. Eventually even business will be replaced by AI. The writing is on the wall.

Ai generated imagery has destroyed more than big name artists, anyone trying to run a pod sticker or art shop cannot complete with the output from a prompt writer. Human art has been drowned out.

Yea if you starve the AI it wouldn't last very long probably. I think another way to help would be to teach art without needless criticism put emphasis on creativity and positive emotions. Art is all ready really hard AND you get a lot of people both teachers and peers that will ridicule amateurs. There's a lot of elitism that pushes people into A.I A.I is an evil temptress, especially for people who worked really hard but the result wasn't recognized.

I don’t like AI generated anything. It feels fake and I find it offensive to have that put in my face in place of artwork done by a real human. I will never buy it and I will never support it.

why are artists NOT getting a class action lawsuit figured out for Meta. This is possibly the biggest instance of IP theft of our time

A lot of people seem confused about Cara. It was not built as a replacement for Instagram. It came about after Artstation embraced AI and Jingna threw around an idea of creating a place for artists that resisted ai, a place where AD's or anyone wanting to hire artists could go to find artists that don't use ai as well as just a place for artists to gather and learn. There are a lot of traditional artists on there! I joined Cara about a week and a half after it was launched in January 2023 and I'm fully traditional (watercolor and gouache). I follow a ton of other traditional artists including many fine artists and wildlife artists. Many of the artists that first joined the site were fleeing Artstation - so, they were industry professionals that often work digitally. Cara has a lot going for it (I mean, other than being owned by someone that isn't a huge corporation and actively fights for artist rights). There is a social feed integrated for community with a 5000 character limit and every post is chronological. No algorithm to fight. No "we'll show your post to 10% of your following and if they like it THEN we'll show it to more of your following" bs. AI images have ruined so much for me, that Cara is a refuge of art where AI isn't allowed. When I scroll through there I know it's real art made by people. I can *enjoy* art again without questioning everything I see. It's so much more than just "but I have to build an audience!". Not everything is about numbers. However, if you want to build a varied audience then BlueSky Social is where to go. A true social platform with no algorithm and a huge array of moderation tools. It lacks a gallery feature however (which is something Cara provides), so it's more like Twitter in setup. I use Cara as my gallery-social and Blue Sky as my general-audience-social. Getting away from all things Meta several years ago was the best thing I've ever done for my health and my art.

Pretty sure the reason images dont show up in your portfolio immediately on Cara is because they Glaze it first. While my existing artwork on Instagram is already scraped, I would never had uploaded anything if I had known. I will continue to stay there for the time being, but never post anything there unless it is glazed first. For video content Im not sure what is the best advice at the moment. This seems very dynamic and changing right now. I hope profit and power driven Meta (and Adobe) goes bankrupt and is replaced by ethically driven companies

You could use AI to create a piece of art and then correcting it to make it more accurate and enjoyable, that would be both educational and engaging. A video like this could really highlight how important the human touch is in true art. It would be interesting to see the experimentation process, pointing out stereotypes, errors, and details that don't quite work. This kind of content could bring more attention and awareness to the role of human creativity in art. LLMs are just a statistical tool, not that impresive once you have seen their limits, they are just a helpful gimmick. By the way older generations seems to be totally unaware and unwilling to explore LLMs so they are easily fooled by them.

I’ll just stick with ArtStation, Adobe Portfolio, and Behance. I’m too lazy to make any more socials . Instagram was like a highschool phase.

I'm usually not a fan of framed artwork cause people generally have terrible taste in framing which really overpowers and takes away from the artwork. But I do love when the piece and the frame become one cohesive artwork like the heart in the sun frame!

I want a longer version of the interview with this Mr. Andrew. 😊

As a concept artist having been driven out of the industry by AI, the future belongs to indie artists. You can choose to scale with AI, or revert to traditional. The worst thing you can do, however, is to hide from it. The more you learn about it, the more you can help yourself and others.

<3

Ma'am, do not be alarmed, but there is a skeleton behind you!

I got into RISD this round. But I can’t go because of the cost. Womp womp.

Just joined Cara. I'd say give it some time to get used to since it's now hitting the scene in recent weeks. Though, being the stranglehold of widespread social media that is Meta (Instagram/Facebook) it's gonna be an uphill battle. As cool as the images created by AI may seems, the practices they're going about with could potentially backfire. It's no secret to why Meta chooses to train AI into scraping all existing images and then claim is as their own. It's no different to many would point out as plagiarism. Instagram is the biggest juggernaut of social media. But I'd say give it some time for Cara to flourish. That being said, with them coming out of the woodwork telling you that they've trained AI to make artworks only now should tell you everything you need to know. Kinda scary, really.

Um ... sorry, no ... Exit Meta/Instagram

please please please look up the software called Photoguard it messes up the ai big time when used on your art please review the software it made by mit

You need to know that there is a total way of replicating every single one of the artists watching this in words and other ways, without any use of a scan or photo.

I watched this video yesterday (it's a subject all artists should pay attention to) and it stirred up some questions-as it will continue to do. My husband is a member of SAG-AFTRA so he understands what this means for actors, writers and songwriters. Anyone who is creative has to look out for themselves. For example, I just visited an artists' grants web site to see their past winners. That's when this thought struck me: anyone could use AI (by itself) to "create" "art" and submit that in a competition against REAL artists, and possibly win. That's another way artists can be cheated. Unfortunately, as much as AI can help people who would use it ethically, its power and unlimited range offers many opportunities to the criminal element. The main thing is: never be intimidated by the negative. Artists are the ones who create the future (technology, architecture, fashion design, it's endless). Keep on producing; don't let the negative aspects of AI (or those who use it to harm) get in your way. There are people working on copyright, security, and other protective measures, so, hopefully, it will not be a world catastrophe. Thanks for the videos.Thank you to all artists everywhere-you are very much appreciated. :)

Stability AI, Midjourney etc have a terms agreement that if you stop paying the monthy subscription you must relinquish all the AI generated content immediatly. So in other words if you generate anything from their platform you have to pay then monthly in perpetuity or they can sue you.

This sucks I finally woke up the courage to make my own comic. And I post my character up. I’m not a big name, of course, and I’m not gonna lie I’m scared but you still have to fight through it to make my dreams come true.

Why is this such a big deal? I honestly don't understand. All work is derivative by definition. Nothing that you ever painted or drew is original, you had to first train yourself by looking at other people's work (and a lot of it) for it to get into your subconsciousness before you could create something of your own. No single novelist wrote anything before first reading lots and lots of other people's work. Same goes for music and sports, quite literally. What is the difference between me being influenced by your art style and AI doing it?

I had to setup for filming without a viewfinder recently. But I was alone, so I couldn't frame it right for my height. My solution was a sewing mannequin with a wig head on top of it, which managed to jumpscare me for a few nights every time I went in the kitchen cause I would forget about it 😂 didn't help that it was in the same direction as the door so it seemed like someone was watching me from outside

Thank You for this important update concerning meta unv. & ai. I'm going to play it safe & delete all my photo's & videos for now . I will relpace my images with images that have the glaze protection.

IG was great until it wasn’t anymore. I feel Cara would be the same. Started off with a good intention but the pressure to upkeep and it takes money and they’ll have to put ads in. Nothing is ever free. With AI art rampant all over, I’m just not going to post anymore.

Works of the us government aren’t copyrighted. So it depends on the source, but if the photo is from an official us photographer, it’s fair use.

Shoulda read t.o.s.

that sun frame is sooo cool! plus frames can get pricey so win/win!

3:35 The Fallacy of Sunk Costs...

Why Instagram, why META? META = TAME ... Leave Mark Suck-her-berg alone...

I do love Cara, and I love the fact that it's by artists for artists... the only aspect of it that I have difficulty with is how i get my art to the general (non-artist) public.

My first job was milling pigments to make paint. I make indirect oil paintings over linen about tropical flora and fauno, looking for buyers of physical artwork and patrons to finance time and production. 🫡

Doesn't matter if you move to Cara or not. Your art is scraped as soon as it's uploaded to the internet. I would be more worried about google and microsoft ai.

1:20 In USA you don't have different laws, you have wrong laws. Call your lawmakers to correct them or they won't get your vote next time.

Nightshade may have potential... if literally everyone putting pictures on the web uses it, not just artists. Even then GenAI can just got back to previous versions of the dataset if new versions are poisoned. Glaze always felt like a cope to me. The psychological profile of the common user of GenAI won't care for the difference you have shown on the John Tenniel. We need to start thinking bigger than "style" and such things. Copyright won't save us. We need legit enforcement for identifiable metadata and a supply for our demand of a way to filter out what's real and not in a post-AI web. The old net may soon be locked behind due to geopolitical damage. This is way bigger than art.

The effects of the layering are beautiful and have depth and richness. I really enjoyed seeing glimpses of your studio and work space. A proper artist studio should resemble a mad scientist's laboratory. 😂

It just feels like the tech world is taking a shot at the creative community right now. Adobe, Meta and all the AI engines. With 4 of the 5 top companies in the world investing in AI there is an inevitability about this. I'm not against AI being used in an ethical way, there are some artists using it in ways the button pushers, casual users will never match. Getting to an ethical use is the challenge as well as having people be honest about their usage. I'm a traditional artist and hate how the AI debate is turning creative communities against each other. Artists are a robust bunch I have little doubt we will get through this and continue to thrive. Let's not loose sight of the fact that all digital art is still a fledgling industry that has only really been around 50 years, it will continue to adapt and grow. Where us traditional artist can count in the thousands of years and yes we are still adapting too..

One of things I will never understand is that why people cheat to win with using AI art for art competitions, recently people use AI art for pokemon art competitions, theres me worrying about the copyright law whatever I should do fan art or not. The AI art makes me question the copyright law in detail, is copyright law is protecting artists and normal working class people? Or copyright law protects rich people and companies who manipulate people? I uninstalled Adobe products to get avoid being spied on, Adobe tricked artists inside the terms and conditions which translates to we are spying on you in private files mode and we steal your art without consent. I could not share my human art on Instagram now because I know that metaverse steals art, nowadays i post writing alot on social media and repeat written content. I think its time we need more privacy and physical buildings that gives art community a physical place to go to instead of social media uses

Some people are deleting Instagram not because of Cara, but because they are tired of putting so much effort to posting art while onlyfns models get promoted above your work!

Good video, would it be possible for you to mute when your sipping on your cup? Your mic picks it up loud and clear. Or maybe just cut that power out. It’s kinda gross.

What laws? Congress does nothing about anything.

first of all, artists must know why, why and for what they do this, why they are artists and whether they are artists at all, and only then know where what platforms and tools are... the world is drowning in mental, symbolic and real trash... and not the least of which are the legions of artists reproducing all three types of thrash.

This is pretty much a nitpick and a technicality, but Cara _does not_ currently apply Glaze "protection" on every single piece of image file that's uploaded to Cara, because as Cara themselves said it would be too computationally and economically expensive to do so. What Cara _does_ do is they offer users the opportunity to _choose_ to apply Glaze on their art _but at a limited number_ of images per day. For more details on what all that really means I do recommend going to Cara directly, and/or to consult with digital artists & Web-programmers who are more well-versed and knowledgable about such Web technologies, _of which I most certainly_ *_am not_* an expert in such matters. _...All that said though:_ yes the makers of Cara _are_ artists and _they are_ making much effort towards protecting artists from AI-scraping and AI-related "bad stuffs". And _that_ at the very least is doing much more than what Instagram or Meta or Adobe or BeHance or ArtStation et cetera seem to be interested in doing on behalf of working artists, at this time.
