It looks like <a href=\"https:\/\/artstation.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ArtStation<\/a> is in the crossfire for using AI artwork in a community of artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ArtStation is easily the most important repository when it comes to inspiration and digital art assets. For this reason, ArtStation is a<strong> favorite of artists<\/strong> and people in artistic professions the world over. However, ArtStation is currently the setting of a war against technology due to missing regulations that have resulted in the platform becoming home to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/celebrities-look-like-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">art generated by AI<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protest has resulted in ArtStation\u2019s home page looking abysmal thanks to artists posting an anti-AI poster repeatedly. The poster currently being <strong>spammed <\/strong>all over ArtStation\u2019s website was originally created by Alexander Nanitchkov. The image has been spammed so much that it\u2019s all but completely taken over the ArtStation home page.&nbsp;<br><br>The core issue is this: ArtStation is a website for artists. Artists take pride in their work due to the amount of effort, practice, and passion each piece demands. There are many factors that give art its value in modern society, and on that list are originality and the fact that art takes so much time and effort. This allowance of<a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/adobe-sells-ai-generated-artwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> AI art <\/a>on a platform where artists are meant to be able to<strong> showcase their hard work<\/strong> feels like a perversion of the industry, and the start of a very dark future for those who rely on their artistic talent as a form of income generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Art-community-protests-to-ban-AI-generated-art.jpg\" alt=\"Art community protests to ban AI-generated art\" class=\"wp-image-207865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Art-community-protests-to-ban-AI-generated-art.jpg 740w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Art-community-protests-to-ban-AI-generated-art-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Art-community-protests-to-ban-AI-generated-art-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Art-community-protests-to-ban-AI-generated-art-150x50.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>ArtStation\u2019s overlords at <a href=\"https:\/\/epic-games-store.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Epic Games<\/a> have issued a statement, but it hardly says anything helpful nor provides a solution for the growing problem of the inclusion of AI-generated content on artistic platforms. \u2018ArtStation\u2019s content guidelines do not prohibit the use of AI tools in the process of creating artwork that is shared with the community. That said, ArtStation is a <strong>portfolio platform <\/strong>designed to elevate and celebrate originality powered by a community of artists. Users\u2019 portfolios should only feature artwork that they create, and we encourage users to be transparent in the process.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, ArtStation isn\u2019t the only culprit. Apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/prisma.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prisma<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/art-ai-ai-image-generator.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ai Art<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wonder-ai-art-generator.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wonder<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/reface.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reface<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/faceplay-face-swap-video.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faceplay<\/a> may all be in trouble in some form or another for similar activities.<br><br>If you don\u2019t want to see<a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/chatgpt-has-fantastic-capability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> AI-generated art<\/a> listed on art exchanges and repositories, the only thing you can do at the moment is report any AI-generated art you find. Hopefully, we\u2019ll have a better idea of what the future of this AI-generated<strong> art movement <\/strong>looks like. And, hopefully, platforms put rules in place that stops this perversion from putting artists out of business.
