Viewer Steals Genshin Impact Fan Art Using AI and Demands Credit

Another reason to be worried.

The weirdest theft happened several days ago: artist AT was painting a Genshin Impact fan art on Twitch but didn't suspect there was a thief among their audience. The wicked viewer under the name musaish took the unfinished image, completed it via NovelAI, and posted it on Twitter. After AT finished the work, musaish dared to demand credit from the artist saying they took the AI picture as a reference and showing the time the images were posted as proof.

The thief's Twitter account is now banned, but the situation has opened a new flood of concern about AI. Creators had been worried about their work being used in AI training before, but now this fear is getting even more real, with people like musaish giving others ideas. Artists now don't want to post their work-in-progress work, concerned that something like this happens again.

AI-generated art is a field of heated discussion right now, where artists fight against using their creations in training neural networks or at least striving to make the process clear so that anyone could see if their art is used in programs like Midjourney, DALL-E, or Stable Diffusion. At the same time, there are people who see art created by AI as a fascinating invention that doesn't harm anyone.

    My honest thought on the AI thing is that artists globally need to unionize.  This is going to effect 2d, 3d, character and environment artists.  The tools our trained off of our work.  AI is a 14 trillion dollar industry and if they are leveraging artists work and models to train theses systems then we need to come together.  The truth of the matter is companies are will be using this to reduce work forces and put artists out of jobs.  If we are able to  join together and get legal representation then we can actually do something.  This is not good for artists
