Last week, a Redditor fine-tuned an AI image model on the work of one illustrator, sparking a debate about the ethics of reproducing a living artist's style. I talked to that artist to see how she felt about it, and the person who made it. https://waxy.org/2022/11/invasive-diffusion-how-one-unwilling-illustrator-found-herself-turned-into-an-ai-model/
@andybaio Wow, a kicker of a last paragraph. After dancing uncomfortably around the first artist's objections, they went and did the same thing to another artist. They could have just... not.

@andybaio What an interesting reading, thanks for your work.
