Thanks for your response.
I use AI often to help generate photos and help with the writing process and its common practice with many more advanced publishing outlets.
Its where the above is going to get tricky. The images that you have created are essentially a mashup other art work or photographs by individuals. Those individuals when publishing or making such work available online what conditions were given for re-use/remix of the work ?
If you take my personal experience, I have this particular photograph shared under Creative Commons Attribution license in 2007 and is available here in wikipedia
Now, the same image used by multiple AI image generation tools and only Stable Diffusion has provided a means to report and remove the image from their database. Basically I don't even have an easy way to find who all are violating the license under which the art / photograph is shared.
Informing users is definitely needed but beyond that the rights and lively hoods of artists and content creators also must be protected. Platforms like ours for example is established to help with content creators and its high time we start having more clarity on next steps.
I have contributed quite a few of my photos to AI without any strings attached, but ideally it would be cool to train a local AI with all the original photos I have taken. I know you can run some AI tools locally utilizing multiple GPUS to render content. Its something I am looking into, but the hardware requirements for fast results could be prohibitive.
Training local images is a cool idea - https://colab.research.google.com/ can help to bypass the hardware requirements though its paid.
