Since its initial public outing, AI imagery has faced many challenges and criticisms. Chief among them is the topic of copyright. Essentially, many AI models today have been trained using copyrighted content.

Now, Israeli startup Bria AI has teamed up with Getty Images, Alamy and others to take the “responsible” approach to AI imagery. Their AI models are trained on legally licensed stock images.

Misogynistic new app rates AI-generated photos of women

I just discovered a site that I wish did not exist – smashorpass.ai*. This site lets men rate images of AI-generated women. If you are familiar with Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous “hot-or-not” website, FaceMash, you will not be surprised by the similarities. (If you are not familiar with the “hot-or-not” website, check out The Social Network).

Like Zuckerberg’s original site, Smashorpass.ai invites users to rate AI-generated female images using “Smash” or “Pass” buttons. The key difference is that all the “women” featured on this site are actually AI-generated images. As a result, they are exhibiting the common biases often found in AI-generated female photos.

AI images of Paris drowning under garbage go viral

A series of AI-generated images falsely portraying Paris submerged under heaps of garbage has gone viral. The pictures were shared through a TikTok video that has garnered an astonishing 450,000 views. These images depict iconic Parisian landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Arc de Triomphe, all overshadowed by towering piles of trash.

Accompanying the images is a Thai-language text sticker conveying the message, “This is what the French capital city, Paris, looks like. The dream city… now turned into this in reality.” The caption adds, “The government invested money in war,” alluding to the aftermath of civil unrest triggered by a police shooting incident involving a 17-year-old boy during a routine traffic stop in July.

Midjourney has added a new inpainting feature that many users have requested. Much like Adobe’s Generative Fill, it lets you change only a part of your image that you manually select. As for the rest of the image, it stays intact. Of course, I just had to test it out, and I bring you some Midjourney images of cats and dogs I created with this new tool.

Thaler sought copyright for an AI-generated image produced using his Creativity Machine algorithm. The decision made by Judge Beryl A. Howell raises important questions about the intersection of technology and artistic authorship.

A recent survey has shown that over 15 billion AI images have been generated in just one year. That’s more than the number of photographs taken in the first 150 years of photographic history. Yes, you read that correctly. And it’s not that surprising when you think about it.

Over the past year, AI-driven artistic communities have taken the Internet by storm. From Reddit to Twitter to Discord, a multitude of online hubs have emerged, serving as incubators for thousands of AI ‘artists’ honing their craft through precise prompts and sharing their creations with the world.
