On AI Art...

 

 

For the book "The Wadjet-Man: The Future Adventures of Alexander the Great" (Novel, Action & Adventure), I originally planned to include illustrations in A.I. but after seeing the "legality issues of A.I. Art" I declined.   Amazon said I would need the Copyright for those images even though the website said such images are in the Public Domain.  Not wanting to risk that issue, I added a Public Domain image not AI for the cover, with some added features also PD.  

I read about how one author used AI for Art in his book and that it "upset Artists" because they had their art "manipulated by computer."  The computers in AI use a collage effect, mixing images together into a composite.  

The following was a quote from that original version of my book: 

"In A.I. Art, someone else makes the paint and you, the user, takes the paint and creates a painting.  Just as the base images in a Photo-mosaic are another’s image, the ending result is a separate image.   If one photographs a statue does the person own the image, or does the sculptor own it? Does the culture that produced the sculptor own the statue’s origins? Does a current Nation own that culture, or does the reincarnated original culture own it?  Does a computer that reorganizes the images into a new form own the image? Or does the programmer own the image? Discuss this in Society.

 MC 2023.
