So even though this tool is only searching a fraction of the artwork #StableDiffusion was trained on, and I'm small-time, I was still able to find it has my "Darwin Took Steps" painting in the database.

Interestingly, it's scraped from @redbubble.
I removed this painting from my RedBubble store a few years ago.
I care a lot about artists getting their due, especially credit and consent. I've written a lot about copyright, sharing and effective image use, including at @sciam for 4 years. #sciart #AIart #artcred

(Also, apologies: one of the only times in recent memory I’ve neglected adding alt text to an image.)
I am not okay with my artwork being included in word-prompt AI image databases without my consent and permission.
It’s not ethical. These are powerful tools being built recklessly.
#StableDiffusion at least allows enough transparency to see this much.
The internet has had problems with artist credit since the beginning.
Word-prompt AI image generators, so-called “Web3, and NFT marketplaces have magnified these problems to a destructive degree.
