Lawsuit Filed Against Artificial Intelligence Producing Images from Text

more integrated into our lives with each passing day. artificial intelligenceIt has also been mentioned with art in recent times. Yes; Stability AI and midjourney We are talking about artificial intelligence tools that present the texts you have entered, such as those you have entered, with magnificent visuals as if they were made by an artist. Moreover, the works produced by these artificial intelligences are delivered to millions through platforms such as DeviantArt.

These ingenuity of artificial intelligence have not satisfied the artists who earn their living with this work. Because in a new lawsuit filed in the US state of California, artists claim that they are unable to make money due to artificial intelligence. The three plaintiffs, Sarah Andersen, Kelly McKernan and Karla Ortiz, are from DevianArt, which showcases Stability AI, Midjourney and content produced by these AIs. seeks compensation.

Artificial intelligence is ‘stealing’ artists’ work! So how?

Plaintiffs claim that the platforms where the images created with artificial intelligence are exhibited/marketed. including the DMCA they argue that they are acting in violation of copyright and competition.

In other words, although artificial intelligence creates an original image, it references the works of real artists without paying any fee to produce those images.

How is artificial intelligence trained? Could the artists be right?

Machine learning is one of the most popular techniques in the artificial intelligence world. an artificial intelligence algorithmanalyzes hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of reference content. As a result of these analyzes, he ‘imagines’ what objects, landscapes, people and almost anything you can convert into text might look like. In other words, when you write “Red cat” to the artificial intelligence, the artificial intelligence actually creates an image by referring to the previously presented cat images and red images.

If you train an artificial intelligence only with articles written by me, Eray Kalelioğlu, artificial intelligence came out of the hands of Eray Kalelioğlu after a while. It will start writing articles that look like Therefore, although the article was produced with artificial intelligence, it takes Eray Kalelioğlu as a reference in the background. So, is there a compensation requirement here? A Can we talk about copyright? Since this stage of technology is partly hungry for new and concrete legal regulations, we leave the interpretation to the lawyers.
