DeviantArt upsets artists with its new AI art generator, DreamUp

Looking at the comment section it seems that people struggle to understand how it works and thinks it is literally copying parts of people's images.

Educating people about such a technical topic seems very difficult especially since people get emotional of their work being used.

The big problem here is that it trains the artists style and allows third parties to create art in their style without effort. This is especially bad for artists with really distinct style as now hundreds of copycats can come and steal the previously unique style.

Hate to inform you that the "cat is literally out of the bag" now. There's no putting it back. If it isn't DA it would be someone else. Right now, anyone who does anything creative like painters, authors, composers, designers have to live with the fact that AI can generate something similar to what they can and (this is the most tragic part) generate material that would be indistinguishable (or perhaps even superior) to the general public who're not connoisseurs of their art.
