What's the relation between using other people art and the user credentials? Should the AI art okay as long as the one published it already has good credentials?
This isn't about "good credentials", the person making the post was actually an animator for Invincible (where the image is from).
So it's the artist posting a meme with their own art from a series, someone accusing them of stealing the art (saying they are as bad as AI) while the artist was actually part of the team that made the series. What is there not to get?
The original poster (Jessie Lam) worked on Invincible as an animator, so they did use their own art for that meme, which is a screenshot from Invincible.
On the other hand... animators usually sell their work to the studio... so "technically" it is no longer "theirs", they have no right to use a copy without the studio's permission... 🤷
Yet the original characters Invincible and Omni-man were created by Robert Kirkman, who did not illustrate the original comicbooks (I think). Man, this thing goes deeeep.
It's absolutely incredible that people are such bootlickers for billionaire projects that they'll see this tremendous slam dunk and then go to the comments trying to defend the person who just got dunked. Like, seriously, you really think that's going to convince people?!
Funny how Luddite paint pigs were perfectly fine when Microsoft's dalle was the only player in the game and didn't start screeching about ai until after open source image generation software got released. And yet you conservatives still call people bootlickers.
The only true artist is Ooonga Baloonga, who invented art when he drew something roughly resembling an animal on a random cave wall 6 bajillion years ago. Everything since then is derivative bullshit, lifeless imitations of his unique vision.
That's the point. It's supposed to be a facsimile of s man. The whole plot of the show is a critique of comic book tropes and the consequences of idolizing superheroes etc
