Piracy and AI-generated art — how photo and video editing apps will change the art world

The Lensa photo and video editing app has shot into social media prominence in recent weeks, after adding a feature that lets you generate stunning digital portraits of yourself in contemporary art styles.

It does that for just a small fee and the effort of uploading 10 to 20 different photographs of yourself.

Wonder what they do with those pics of yourself...

Also, I imagine there will be laws passed on this in future but I would imagine it is logical that the creator, not the tool owns the rights unless the potrait is clearly of someone else? For example if I tell DALL-E to create a picture of Ryan Reynolds in a suit shooting someone - in photorealism hyper-animation and so forth. It is still clearly Ryan Reynolds and so he has the rights on that piece of art?

These images borrow ideas from other artists’ work, but do not contain any actual snippets of their work.

I follow some of the artists have issues with Lensa, and some of the images they share to illustrate the "copyright" infringement show bits of artist signatures and watermarks, which contradicts the above statement.

If does not have brush strokes it's waffle art.
