• Abstract: Generative AI based art has proliferated in the past year, with increasingly impressive use cases from generating fake human faces to the creation of systems that can generate thousands of artistic images from text prompts - some of these images have even been "good" enough to win accolades from qualified judges. In this paper, we explore how Generative Models have impacted artistry, not only from a qualitative point of view, but also from an angle of exploitation of artists -- both via plagiarism, where models are trained on their artwork without permission, and via profit shifting, where profits in the art market have shifted from art creators to model owners. However, we posit that if deployed responsibly, AI generative models have the possibility of being a positive, new modality in art that does not displace or harm existing artists.

• Adversarial Perturbations Cannot Reliably Protect Artists From Generative AI [61.35083814817094]
  Several protection tools against style mimicry have been developed that incorporate small adversarial perturbations into artworks published online. We find that low-effort and "off-the-shelf" techniques, such as image upscaling, are sufficient to create robust mimicry methods that significantly degrade existing protections. We caution that tools based on adversarial perturbations cannot reliably protect artists from the misuse of generative AI.

  Since NFTs and large generative models have been publicly available, artists have seen their jobs threatened and stolen. generative models are trained using human-produced content to better guide the style and themes they can produce. Inspired by recent work in generative models, we wish to tell a cautionary tale and ask what will happen to the visual arts if generative models continue on the path to be trained solely on generated content.

  State-of-the-art models create high-quality content without crediting original creators. We propose the copyright Plug-in Authorization framework, introducing three operations: addition, extraction, and combination. Extraction allows creators to reclaim copyright from infringing models, and combination enables users to merge different copyright plug-ins.

  Large-scale text-to-image generative models have made impressive strides, showcasing their ability to synthesize a vast array of high-quality images. However, adapting these models for artistic image editing presents two significant challenges. We build the innovative unified framework Creative Synth, which is based on a diffusion model with the ability to coordinate multimodal inputs.

  ArtScore is a metric designed to evaluate the degree to which an image resembles authentic artworks by artists. We employ pre-trained models for photo and artwork generation, resulting in a series of mixed models. This dataset is then employed to train a neural network that learns to estimate quantized artness levels of arbitrary images.

  CtlGAN is a new few-shot artistic portraits generation model with a novel contrastive transfer learning strategy. We adapt a pretrained StyleGAN in the source domain to a target artistic domain with no more than 10 artistic faces. We propose a new encoder which embeds real faces into Z+ space and proposes a dual-path training strategy to better cope with the adapted decoder.
