@ChristiesInc They’re using DALL-E, Stable Diffusion AND midjourney. @ChristiesInc did you know those last two companies are currently being sued by artists like myself for taking our works to build their models without our consent, credit or compensation? Shame on you for profiting off theft!

Very worth listening to the great Max Richter, speaking yesterday in Parliament about the impact of unlicensed AI training on musicians' livelihoods. "In the longer term, [unlicensed training] is going to lead to, I think, some societal consequences. You're going to get a kind of vanilla-isation of music culture, as this automated material starts to edge out human creators. And I think you're also going to get an impoverishing of human creators." "If we allow the erosion of copyright - which is really how value is created in the music sector - then we're going to be in a position where there won't be artists in the future."
