Heather Tal Murphy hat für das SLATE Magazine einen spannenden Artikel über Spawning, die Firma hinter haveibeentrained.com (der Website, wo Künstler ihre Bilder aus LAION 5B, einer Datenbank, die zum Training von KI-Modellen genutzt wird, entfernen lassen können) geschrieben, und ich komme auch darin vor – in Wort und Bild! 

“Iris Luckhaus, an illustrator based in Berlin, was one of many artists who turned to HaveIBeenTrained in December (…). She wondered whether her own illustrations had helped train Stable Diffusion, (…). Indeed, through the tool, she learned that 3,280 of them had, including early drafts of illustrations that she hadn’t realized were findable on the internet. (…) “I felt violated and terribly angry,” Luckhaus said. Just because she puts artworks online, that’s “not an invitation to just do with them as you please”—in this case, to create a tool that she is concerned will replace human artists. She refuses to use A.I. image generators because exploiting other artists makes her feel just “as dirty as buying cheap clothes made with child labor,” she said.”

“Alongside these arguments, you’ll find artists like Neil Turkewitz, a copyright activist, who praised the Spawning endeavor on Twitter while also arguing that it’s best to see it as “a step towards accountability and not the destination.” Luckhaus agrees that the realm of training sets needs regulation as well, but for now, Spawning is the only endeavor offering her a concrete way to protect her images. For that, she is grateful.”

Vielen Dank an Heather Tal Murphy für den Artikel – und die interessanten Fragen! Und noch ein Dankeschön an Spawning für ihre Bemühungen, Brücken zwischen Künstlern und KI zu bauen und eine Art Erste-Hilfe-Kit für Künstler anzubieten.
