Wacom, a popular drawing tablet manufacturer from Japan, is catching flak online for sponsoring a high school AI art contest. Wacom was founded in 1983 and positions itself as a brand made for artists, designers and photographers. Its most well-known product is a drawing tablet, which users connect to a computer to start drawing. In fact, you may have already seen Wacom tablets in action without even realising. Ever seen videos of artists drawing on a flat ‘board’ in front of a laptop or home PC, like this or this? There’s a fair chance they’re using a Wacom tablet! Wacom...

Meta has finally released its standalone AI art generator. The generator is powered by Emu, Meta’s own image foundation model. This means that there’s now another alternative to mainstream AI art generators like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E. Meta’s newest tool is completely free, too, it has its own dedicated website, which you can access here. Here’s a guide on how to use Meta’s latest tool. Before getting started First, you’ll want to head over to imagine.meta.com. On desktop, you should be able to view an empty text box on the left hand side of your screen, and several examples...

AI-art generators. We are all beguiled by them. But Houston, we have a problem. The future of AI-art generators might be at risk. AI-art generation platforms Stability AI, DeviantArt, and Midjourney will have to appear in court soon, thanks to a class action filed against them. Being sued seems to be a thing with AI now. Here’s why. AI-art generators are trained to make new images, but they do this after being fed millions of existing images. Unfortunately, this isn’t a perfect process. Some of the AI-generated images look a lot like the original images. Some artists feel that because...

Months ago, a group of computer scientists from the University of Chicago (“UChicago”) worked with human artists to launch a tool to protect creatives from having their artwork stolen by AI art tools. That tool is called Glaze. The same UChicago team behind Glaze have now launched a second tool called Nightshade, which is able to ‘‘poison’’ AI art generators like Midjourney and DALL-E. Here’s how it works, and why the tool is important. What is Nightshade? Nightshade is a “data poisoning” tool that lets artists add invisible alterations in their artwork that would corrupt or poison AI art generators...

TikTokkers are using AI to create expanded backgrounds on their favourite photos, album covers, videos and streaming shows. They are using Adobe Firefly in Photoshop to do what’s known as Generative Fill or PhotoshopAI. It is called the expansion trend.

The creative industry remains largely opposed to the use of artificial intelligence (AI). In film, actors are fighting Hollywood’s major studios over the studios’ proposal to create “digital replicas” of performers using AI. In music, Spotify went on a purge in May to take down thousands of AI-generated songs.  But not everyone is against the idea of working with AI. Here in Australia, Sydney band The Deep Faith is entirely generated with AI – and it’s probably the first of its kind in the country. The Deep Faith: beginning with deepfakes Byron Spencer and Daniel Stricker, both multidisciplinary artists, tell...

My Little Pony, besides being an iconic children’s animated series, is also known for its fanbase of grown men known as ‘Bronies’. And now, someone – presumably from the ‘brony’ community – loves the series enough to sit down and create their very own version of My Little Pony, all with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).      As young children can only keyboard smash, we’re gonna assume that a ‘brony’ is responsible for a new AI-generated My Little Pony livestream on YouTube. The livestream isn’t just a single fan-made episode – the episode is seemingly never-ending, and its narrative develops...

Joe Rogan is no stranger to controversy. The polarising figure has had a litany of controversial figures on his podcast in the past. But the recent advent of AI has allowed one particularly ardent fan to push that envelope even further, creating episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience featuring the likes of Andrew Tate, Donald Trump, and Sam Altman, OpenAI’s boss. All of them entirely generated by AI. An Australian YouTuber operating under the name ‘The Joe Rogan AI Experience’ is gaining massive traction on the video-sharing platform. Having joined just three months ago in early February, the channel now...

A new type of scam is now spreading on social media thanks to easy access to AI art tools. Scammers are taking advantage of digital artists and illustrators by requesting drafts or rough sketches with the promise of payment, then vanishing with the incomplete artwork. The scammers then use AI tools to “finish up” the drafts, and resell them online as their own. Artificial intelligence to complete artist drafts The case first came to light via “MKKT”, an anonymous digital artist from Japan. MKKT shared on X that they were approached by an internet user who wanted to commission the...
