In the past months, the artificial intelligence named DALL-E, produced by OpenAI, has learned to “make art” by scanning millions of images on the internet and has created various images millions of times since the first day it emerged. Although this system is an artificial intelligence, it often manages to produce works at a level that can bring stones to the artists.
Microsoft, on the other hand, announced that they have developed an artificial intelligence system entirely for artists using the infrastructure of DALL-E. But many artists have ethical doubts about the entry of artificial intelligence into the arts.
New AI will be available with Microsoft Designer
At the Surface press event today, Microsoft announced that they will soon be releasing the Designer add-in as a separate application, which once allowed you to design slides in PowerPoint. Stating that there will be both free and paid versions of the program specially prepared for designers, the officials announced that artificial intelligence visual production software can be used in both versions.
“We designed this artificial intelligence to prevent designers from looking at a blank page for hours and inspire them,” said Microsoft officials, explaining that they wanted to create an environment where designers could showcase their talents by leaving the hard work to artificial intelligence. In the presentation, it was said that this artificial intelligence will soon be in the Bing search engine and Microsoft Edge browser.
Artists think these artificial intelligences are unethical
DALL-E and Microsoft’s new AI visual creator actually use the internet to turn words into works of art. Scanning millions of copyrighted or royalty-free images on the Internet, these algorithm stacks are created with the help of the descriptions and descriptions of the images it scans for the words you enter into the system. At this point, when certain searches and the right phrases are used, the images created by systems such as DALL-E can look exactly like the works of designers and artists who produce original works.
At this point, the artists state that they can claim rights on these images, which appear as if they came out of their own pen, resulting from the unauthorized use of images from their own pen, and state that artificial intelligence systems “disregard their efforts”.
For example, DALL-E, which scans the drawings of a world-famous artist in pencil drawing, can create almost the same works of the artist in seconds, using the right words. At this point, unfortunately, these works of art, for which the artist has worked for hours, maybe even days, may have no value in the eyes of the society.
Although Microsoft states that this artificial intelligence is designed only to inspire users, the art world fears that such artificial intelligence will destroy original works of art in the future and “art disappears” as we know it today.
