AI generated art? No thanks.

Art in this book includes:

Neoclassical paintings by Albert Aublet, Nikolaus Baur, Nils Blommér, William Adolphe Bouguereau, Benjamin Constant, Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Marcantonio Franceschini, Gustave Guillaumet, Ferdinand Leeke, Louis Jean Francois Lagrenée, Jules Louis Machard, Lorenzo Pasinelli, Salvatore Rosa, Peter Paul Rubens, Frederick Sandys, Cesare Saccaggi, Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, and John William Waterhouse

Background images drawn by me (the arcane letters and shapes along the margins)

AI images in this book include:
Images from Shutterstock, which compensates artists and gives them the choice to opt out, so their art isn't used in training. You can read their policy right here and here. As of last spring they had already paid out several million dollars to contributing artists.

"Contributors will receive a share of the entire contract value paid by customers licensing datasets. The share individual contributors receive will be proportionate to the volume of their content and metadata that is included in the purchased datasets. Contributors will earn a 20% average corporate royalty rate of revenue received by Shutterstock for data licenses."

You are taking steps to use AI generated art ethically . . . but you are still using AI generated art. IMO, there really is no way to use AI generated art ethically, it still replaces real art created by real artists.

So, still, no thanks.
