Another clever man comes to touch my b… as no one gets inspiration because of batman or whatever…
I created my own trained model and guess the artist???

Technically I doubt you trained your own model (that takes weeks on GPU clusters atm). You probably adapted existing Stable Diffusion model on some new data. Adaptation just biases the model into certain direction, but doesn’t remove anything from the data. So if something was ‘stolen’ (I’m not sure how to legally classify machine learning on data from the internet) it still is in your adapted model.

Ok, @VertexMachine apologies I’m stressed, and as people asked me to stop promoting the plug-in…
I hope this ends the discussion in my case:
1.- Makes no sense at all to have a model in unreal that you can use random artists, the idea is to train the model in your own style
EXAMPLE: Imagine you are making a new Resident Evil and generations are Pokémon 
2.- Which artists? And don’t tell me Batman…
3.- Yes I’m training the model and I’m paying
- All training for metahumans is dreamahuman and is mine, I decided to paid for sets of pictures with models, results are better
Celebrities etc… no need to explain
- All training for assets is quixel, because is the default…

Also perhaps someone can explain to me why thousands and thousands of new jobs appeared related to unreal… if we are destroying the jobs…
You know what happens? Each time the workflow is improved we can say yes to more projects
In 20 years I never saw an improvement destroying jobs, in the opposite what happens is we never find enough people with the skills are required
Ai is not god, is ok to some general content and so so, but for small studios is a hand. There are more little than giant so…
The truth is the people who says NO, is because they are comfortable on sofa
Like omg to learn something new, no way
An artist can train a model and make wonderful generations and then his final art
Because of course to use photoshop filters substances are ok, isn’t? I think to have the right to paint first you need to kill an animal and use his blood on a cave, rest is not art 
Perhaps the day that ai kill is will come, but not now

Here’s a little preview of what the marketplace, and content creation in general will look like. This person started posting 3 months ago

This is exactly what I mean. I don’t even look at the 2D section of the marketplace anymore and buy 2D assets elsewhere, because it’s being spammed full with these low quality AI generation assets.
And I know multiple 2D artists who have no interest anymore in selling their assets on the Epic marketplace because of this problem.
And it’s hilarious that Epic believes this is fine. Artstation (which was recently bought by Epic) is very soon going to be abandoned by real artists for another platform, because their work is drowned out by all these cheap AI generations.

2D AI assets should be banned, or at least restricted, not because copyright infringement, but because, as noted from others, it floods the marketplace with useless icons (sorry but it’s true).
I’m not even mad at them for trying but let’s be real, no one is buying those assets and no one is even checking the 2D category anymore.
I’m not even a 2D artist but I feel bad for those whom actually put passion and effort in their nice.

Hi, I have a question. Do you agree that it’s tons more better that we can do art designs by hand when it comes to 2d and 3d art?. And also, if every artist is speaking up to protest and doing the right thing. Why some other people that I see on the internet like twitter is not so pleased about all artist saying ai is not good?. Like I don’t understand if the people agree with us about Ai is not good for current things. Or they’re just trying to not agree with us, and saying that Ai is good to use. I need some better conflict of who’s on the rightful side of doing the right thing. Because I’m quite confused and scared of all of this

I think only time will tell. In my opinion both extreme sides ('ban all AI art" and “AI Art is the best thing ever”) are oversimplification of very complex and multi-layered issue. Till emotions run as high as they are I doubt there will be any civil discussion about it (or if there are those will be flooded with all the heated comments/debates that are happening now).

Like any other tool, it might be used for good reasons or not.
In my opinion, AI assets and MetaHumans are not that much different for example. At the end of the day, you’re still generating assets out of a complex algorithm in both cases, but you’ll never sell a MetaHuman character on the marketplace.
We should share more knowledge about AIs and treat them like tools, like @alberto was doing, instead of deciding “what’s right or wrong”.
If everybody knows how to use those AI, trust me, no one will ever consider buying their derivate products, and as a consequence, no marketplace will ever accept them again.

Yeah it happened the same when photoshop was released
What about to learn how to use it, is an amazing tool for artists, rest of the people is playing to “Feel like an artist” and “Megan fox naked”
That guys are like 99% and at some point will be just bored
And Seriously is very limited, its ok for to get some ideas, just try to do a concept such as a StarCraft marine fighting a zerg…
no one who has no idea about design can work in any company
guys just see the requirements in whatever job offer…

Totally agree, what about all assets of quixel? I was years learning how to do assets in my own…
Thanks, I know people won’t believe but there are new positions and we need more people
We can improve quality and deliver sooner than before → more projects

I suspect that the recent posting on Artstation summarizes Epic’s current view of AI generators.
Basically, the use of A.I. generation tools in the creation of artwork is permitted as long as the resulting works meet copyright guidelines.
This is a disappointing statement by Epic. Artstation caters to a more professional artist audience and acts as a kind of portfolio for creators.
I feel A.I. generation tools are mostly used to pump out a torrent of low-effort images. The clutter will reduce the site’s usefulness as a portfolio, and make it harder for artists and employers to make connections.
On top of this, we have statements from Tim Sweeny himself that make it clear he’s aware of the murky copyright issues.

Maybe, but I wouldn’t go that far, as that is specifically ArtStation’s stance. Even if that’s a single company, there can be different policies for different services… but maybe that’s me just being naive…
Hold on and just ignore them. As you know twitter is big echo chamber, and extremists on both sides of the debate are… well extremists. Twitter and social media in general aren’t really conductive to deep philosophical and nuanced debates.
