I commented before on specifically AI writing, but I want to clarify my stance with AI art. Plainly, I'm not a painter, or a photographer (sculptor, etc), couldn't afford either hobby at this time, not on a scale to replace what I can do quickly and for cheap with the machine (time, equipment, travel costs, etc). A few preliminary hours of research, then constant growth and learning, and badaboom badabing, you have a veritable crystal ball that doesn't always understand what you want but generally does the job well.

I use artist names because 13.7 or however many billions of years have brought us to this point, they themselves were privileged to achieve what they havr, and the prompts can't afford to be a description of every intricate style I want combined, so their names become meaningful words in themselves.

I would completely support, however, an official serialization system from approved AI generators required for the selling of artworks, tracking what's even in the prompts and analyzing how much influence each element had on the final rendering and how, in which royalties are always automatically dispensed to living artists, or the families of the dead.

Wouldn't be simple at first. You could expect alot of complications in the detection systems, probably protests from many over being forced to share their prompts...

But we may want to start somewhere soon, before it's too late.

We'll see what happens. ✨🙏

Thank you for the well written piece, beautifully thought out.

Peace. ✌️
