How Has Art Theft Been Made Easy Due To AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been the major talk of the town since the beginning of 2023. We know that AI is being used in making efficient tools, robots, programs, apps and in many more innovative ways. In December 2022, AI Image generators took the internet by storm with influencers and people using apps like Lensa to create flattering, science fictional or artistic versions of their photos. This might seem like a fun thing to try on the internet but these AI image generators are concerned with art theft.
Artists were enraged to see the remains of signatures that can be seen on the generated images, that too not from any one artist but multiple artists because these pictures are generated by remixing multiple copyrighted images. The images generated are often scribbled, inaccurate or slightly off from the original art style of the artists because AI has tried to replicate it. The visible remaining signatures are proof that these artists are missing out on profits from apps like Lensa. Plenty of artists were not aware that their art was used to generate images and faced copyright violations of AI art. AI takes scraps from original art made by artists and blends those parts to create a whole new image without crediting the artist.

Gabriel Martinez talks with Robert Boyd about Charles Burns, Gary Panter, and the art of underground comics.
“The publishing industry doesn’t work the way the art industry does. You have a royalty system. Whereas if you resell a painting, unless you’re in California, the artist doesn’t get anything.”

The Literature and Language Reading Room is what I would consider a semi-hidden gem amidst the physical spaces that make up UIUC’s massive and impressive library. Lined with massive windows and perimeter bookshelves, it’s difficult to physically miss. However, to gain the full aesthetic experience, one needs to linger. Understandably, this is a difficult task for a busy student. Trust me…I know. However, if you feel the time has finally come to check it out, I highly encourage you to drop in while the newest exhibit, Image + Verse: Poetry Inspired by Art, is still on display.
As both an art and poetry enthusiast, it felt like a dream come true to hear about the library’s collection being highlighted in this way. Two glass cases greeted me at the entrance, and I immediately spotted a few of my favorite collections bookmarked and propped open. Reading the familiar words in tandem with the art displays warmed my heart. The affection of the curator for art and poetry also seemed to be on full display. I couldn’t help but wonder more about their ideas and inspirations.
