For many artists, we're not scared of new tools and tech. The dilemma here is that billions of our images have been added to datasets to train these word-prompt AI image (#WPAII) platforms without our knowledge or consent.

Artists' labour has been put to use unethically.
Would I enjoy loading up my portfolio into an exclusive dataset to create some images based off my own work? Sounds fun.

But what DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc have done --wherever the legality lands-- is rob artists of agency and hand it to commercial interests.
And so now that the AI rollercoaster is loaded up with riders, artists are left begging for someone to take us seriously and put guardrails on the thing.

Artists should have been in the room at its creation. Ethicists should have been in the room.
