• Title: At the edge of a generative cultural precipice
• Authors: Diego Porres, Alex Gomez-Villa,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Since NFTs and large generative models (such as DALLE2 and Stable Diffusion) have been publicly available, artists have seen their jobs threatened and stolen. While artists depend on sharing their art on online platforms such as Deviantart, Pixiv, and Artstation, many slowed down sharing their work or downright removed their past work therein, especially if these platforms fail to provide certain guarantees regarding the copyright of their uploaded work. Text-to-image (T2I) generative models are trained using human-produced content to better guide the style and themes they can produce. Still, if the trend continues where data found online is generated by a machine instead of a human, this will have vast repercussions in culture. 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 (eventually) trained solely on generated content.

• IntroStyle: Training-Free Introspective Style Attribution using Diffusion Features [89.95303251220734]
  We present a training-free framework to solve the style attribution problem, using the features produced by a diffusion model alone. This is denoted as introspective style attribution (IntroStyle) and demonstrates superior performance to state-of-the-art models for style retrieval. We also introduce a synthetic dataset of Style Hacks (SHacks) to isolate artistic style and evaluate fine-grained style attribution performance.

• Evaluating and Mitigating IP Infringement in Visual Generative AI [54.24196167576133]
  State-of-the-art visual generative models can generate content that bears a striking resemblance to characters protected by intellectual property rights. This happens when the input prompt contains the character's name or even just descriptive details about their characteristics. We develop a revised generation paradigm that can identify potentially infringing generated content and prevent IP infringement.

  We show how to measure a model's ability to imitate specific artists. We use Contrastive Language-Image Pretrained (CLIP) encoders to classify images in a zero-shot fashion. We also show that a sample of the artist's work can be matched to these imitation images with a high degree of statistical reliability.

  Text-to-image diffusion models can generate high-quality pictures from textual input prompts. These models have been trained using text data collected from content-based labelling protocols. We characterise the sentimentality, objectiveness and degree of abstraction of publicly available text data used to train current text-to-image diffusion models.
