[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9704866, member: 19675"] Well, having been on both sides of this situation, I’d say yes and no. They’re expressing someone else’s idea, but unless doing it in someone else’s style is part of the commission, they’re probably doing it in [B]their unique manner[/B]. And art history is full of commissioned work that was initially received with a “Not THAT way!” reaction. My personal favorite is the sculpture of a a fallen Lucifer by Joseph Geefs that was removed and replaced by one by his older brother, Guillaume.* Beyond that? A prompt for an AI is almost guaranteed to be much shorter than an analogous discussion between a patron and an artist. To clarify my personal POV: even knowing all of this, I’ve never had a work I’ve commissioned turn out exactly as I’ve envisioned it. Nor has anything I’ve been commissioned to do ever been mistaken for someone else’s work, nor a perfect realization of the idea the patron had in mind. The person doing the crafting always influences the final product. * Joseph’s is on the left, Guillame’s is on the right.
