The battle between artists and artificial intelligence (AI) is heating up and one online art platform thinks it has a solution.
This NEW way to STEAL art using AI is INCREDIBLY sneaky…
Magma, a browser-based creative service, is launching tools it claims will protect artists from AI copying their work. The tools will block the use of artist names in prompts unless the artist has given explicit permission to do so.
“The conversation around AI art has moved beyond unethical practices for training models and, for many, into moral questions about how artwork will be created in the future,” Damian Kaczmarek, CEO of Magma, told Lifewire in an email interview. “Ultimately, the divide itself is what allows generative AI to exist for the foreseeable future, and simply means that no matter how strong the opposition to AI is, generative AI is here to stay in one form or another.”
Magma claims to have nearly a million monthly active users who create more than 15 million drawings a year. The platform recently launched a beta test of the kind of AI tools that have become popular with artists around the world. However, the AI test was met with fierce resistance from artists who feared that AI would take over their work.
