Well, no. NFTs are inherently unethical.
Have we reached the point in society where imaginary races can't be inherently evil, but artificial intelligence and inanimate objects can be?
What a time to be alive.
Well, no. NFTs are inherently unethical.
So far no artists who are "inspired" by decades of Disney, DC, Marvel, etc who make their living sellling knocks of Spiderman have been arrested by cops for Stealing. And I don't think Marvels gives out license to their art library to the casual street artists.They take the products of artists’ labor to use without their knowledge or permission. I don’t care if a court decides they’re allowed to do it, it’s still theft by any meaningful definition of the word. It is not the same process as human artists taking inspiration from other art because these algorithms are not thinking beings. They aren’t capable of contributing anything original to a creation, they can only recombine elements directly copied from elsewhere.
As I said in my post, what these algorithms do is inherently different than how humans take inspiration. Human artists learn from other artists’ work, but they make original creations influenced by those inspirations. Algorithms are not capable of making original creations. They can only recombine elements of the creations of actual artists.That's pretty much what human artists do too. That's why art courses spend years studying the work of great artists.
Right, because they are creating something new influenced by something that exists, rather than merely recombining things that exist.So far no artists who are "inspired" by decades of Disney, DC, Marvel, etc who make their living sellling knocks of Spiderman have been arrested by cops for Stealing. And I don't think Marvels gives out license to their art library to the casual street artists.
Imaginary races are abstract representations of ideas about people. Depicting them as inherently evil expresses ideas about people that as a society we generally don’t want to perpetuate. A creator certainly can use inherently evil races in their fictional works, but it is becoming increasingly unpopular because people are becoming more aware of the ideas their media communicate and the effects those ideas can have on people.Have we reached the point in society where imaginary races can't be inherently evil, but artificial intelligence and inanimate objects can be?

So what does that make these two?As I said in my post, what these algorithms do is inherently different than how humans take inspiration. Human artists learn from other artists’ work, but they make original creations influenced by those inspirations. Algorithms are not capable of making original creations. They can only recombine elements of the creations of actual artists.
A meme. Obviously.So what does that make these two?
Back when it was a tv show if not "recombine elements of the creations of actual artists."? Were the authors & costume designers involved with magnum & indiana jones not producing original creations of art?A meme. Obviously.
Oh, you were asking about the show? That’s unequivocally art. Just because it takes inspiration from other sources doesn’t mean it lacks anything original. I thought you were asking about the specific image you put in the spoiler block.Back when it was a tv show if not "recombine elements of the creations of actual artists."? Were the authors & costume designers involved with magnum & indiana jones not producing original creations of art?
Well, no. NFTs are inherently unethical.These programs don’t create art, they steal it. Yes, if one was made that only used seed art that was legally purchased or willingly donated by the artists, it could be ethical, but that’s pie-in-the-sky fantasizing. Might as well be talking about ethical NFTs.
yep. While attribution is a needed feature, I don’t need permission to make fair use of a work. The procedurally generated art program is a tool, any action is ethically taken by a person. People use existing ideas to make new ideas. All new ideas build on and recombine existing ideas. Full stop.That's pretty much what human artists do too. That's why art courses spend years studying the work of great artists.
