Gaby NikoSharing this to raise awareness 🧡 I made this drawing in my sketchbook in the spring of 2024, based on a reference photo from the @leletny campaign. The pose and hairstyle were clearly my inspiration, but as always, I changed some elements, added my own color interpretation and details. Today I found these Al-generated “photos” on Pinterest - images that were clearly fed by my drawing. What’s unsettling is that now, when someone sees all of these images together online, they might assume that I copied an Al reference - even though it was the other way around. I don’t really have anything particularly groundbreaking to say about this. I just want to share it so it’s clear that people are already using Al to generate and spread such things. It’s disturbing, and makes me feel quite helpless so I guess the only thing I can do is to share it with you. I also have a growing feeling that it will soon become extremely difficult to trust anything we see on the internet. Over time, people may simply lose interest in social media altogether. Even traditional, hand-drawn sketches by artists can now be accused of being “Al-based references” - because why would anyone bother to investigate what came first? Still, I hope that better laws will eventually be introduced to protect artists and copyright more effectively.
