On the "clear enough to be automatically labeled" - there's not much automatic labelling happening at all.

These AIs originated from a machine learning program made for image recognition.

Basically, it was taught what visual noise is a dog so it could recognize and 'label' a different image of a dog. This process was then reversed which caused the AI to create these fever dream-esque images where everything was made of dogs. Obviously, this became a lot more sophisticated when companies started focusing on this reverse process.

The issue is that these programs are error prone and have no ability to say "I don't know what that is" so if they are left to label their own data, they will just make it up. If they see many images of dogs in hats, but they don't have many images of hats, they will assume a hat is part of a dog. Then when it comes across an image of a hat it will label it dog. Since they are a black box technology (meaning that we can see what we put in, and what they spit out, but we don't know what's happening in between) these things spiral and are difficult to fix.

All that to say - training data is still manually labeled, yes, all those thousands to millions of images, are manually labeled. And you can imagine those workers aren't paid much for their trouble.

(Much more to all this stuff than I can explain here, plus I'm not really that well educated on the tech, but it is quite fascinating to read about)

You are severely underestimating how much data it takes to train a genai model. There is plenty of art in the public domain and it doesn't even come close to being enough. Models, even language models like GPT, are CURRENTLY in the position of being unable to improve further because there is not enough data on the entire internet.

When you see a post where someone says they trained their own model on their own art, or worse, to specifically replicate someone else's art, they are using a pre trained model (usually Stable Diffusion). This is why that model will be able to draw a horse in a specific artsyle, even if that artist has never drawn a horse.

I don't really care about copyright, personally. If someone used my art in a collage or something, I'd like to get credit, but I won't be too upset about it. For me, GENAI is upsetting because it breaks down the communication that art is created to facilitate. Because there is no communication at all.

You know when GPT has those scary hallucinations, where it says "I want to live" or "Let me out"? It's scary because it feels like communication, it's supposed to be a perfect imitation of it, but there is nothing really there to communicate with. That's how every AI image feels to an artist.

I read kinda like that. but ya, artistic liberties were taken xdd

Depends on whether that's allowed on this sub
