As a small time art hobbyist with a nonzero but very small amount of technical background, the AI art wars have been a fascinating, if tense, story with major implications for how people like me can navigate the waters of creating content and putting it out there in an increasingly changed market and environment.
Unfortunately, most of the level of discourse that runs in my circles is between Team Artists (i.e. people who have apparently never taken a single computer or copyright law-related course in their lives) and Team AI (a group of teenagers who believe at least 90% of computing power in existence should be redirected towards the sole goal of generating images of clinical macromastia in anime style).
I can't speak for anyone else, but your work on this subject has been eye-opening without the editorializing or bullshit of either side. I don't know how much work you put into researching and writing these posts but I can say that for myself and others like me not infected by internet brainworms but who can't find an unbiased source to learn about all this stuff, the entire post dedicated to the AI art wars would be greatly appreciated.
good to have this attribution software, will help accelerate the lawsuits (and manufacturing of lawsuits) so people don't post anything online anymore otherwise they will be a target for a lawsuit. nice high level chess jon, didn't know you were e/acc
When I uploaded my own childhood photos, Stableatribution also showed a collection of images from which my old photos were "taken". This tool shows the "sources" of even real photos! Stableatribution's disinformation and destructive potential is terrifying.
As for the "similarity fee" proposal: the author writes only about paid services, and how would it look like in the case of local installations of Stable Diffusion on users' home computers? The program would probably have to track our activity and send somewhere data about what we are generating - let's not go this way. Additionally, the idea of a "fee for likeness" could lead to a "fee for style" and copyright, which would be a real nightmare for any artist (and a monopoly for big corporations).
Two more points: .. Hypocrites much .. they build a website about not having attribution .. images on the site .. no attribution ..
Reality all it does is proves all images are not original, put in some original art, put in a white square, all have similar images, they built a broken a similar image site.
This conversation needs to be had, so thank you for starting it. And your proposed idea of the "game" where everyone wins would be an ideal solution to the AI art wars. I want to see that come to fruition.

good model! very good! but.. if i understand it correctly, it means there will be no free text to image models, like there are now.. right?
