I entered the prompts that produced these images.

Behind AI art is data – countless images used to train an AI art generator. When a user types in a prompt, the generator takes apart those pre-existing images to produce a new combination of colors and shapes, a debatably new piece of art.

AI art generators draw information from what they're exposed to, as do human artists. But there's a difference in scale in the way that humans go through input, process it, and attempt to produce something new when compared to AI.

When DeviantArt released its AI art generator, DreamUp, there was immediate backlash from its community over community artwork automatically being opted in for use in AI datasets.

Creators would have to manually opt out in order to protect their work from future AI image training. The opt-out request, however, would only go into effect after their work had presumably been used to train DreamUp in some capacity.

DreamUp is an AI art generator that creates art based on prompts, with roots in Stable Diffusion. Its ability to create art rests on content taken from the web, without the notice or permission of the artists who made the work. An artist on Twitter summed up the process well:

this is how dreamup is being developed. it adds training on non-opt-out artwork on top of the stability diffusion model, which is ALREADY trained using unethically sourced data. they CANT UNLEARN those parts.

The content scraped from DeviantArt and other sources goes into a LAION dataset, which is then processed through machine learning, eventually resulting in a 3D model. The opt-out request occurs before more machine learning, but does not apply to the initial training.

DeviantArt addressed concerns in an update saying that:

They won't use art submitted to the DeviantArt community on DreamUp or other AI models or training sets.
They didn't consent to images being scraped from the site by third parties.
To help stop future unauthorized use of art in training AI models, they're rolling out a "noai" flag that will let AI models know that the artist doesn't want their work used. This will not guarantee that the artist's wishes are honored, but it's a start.
