Pixiv decides to set up a leaderboard for AI paintings to reduce controversy


But you have to be conscious.

With the popularity of AI painting, how should the rights and interests of human creators be protected?

When AI painting was just popular, those novel ideas, designs and styles completely stole people’s attention. So much so that when we look back, the ethical issue of AI painting has become one of the most pressing dilemmas at the moment.

On October 20, the well-known illustration website Pixiv issued an announcement saying that in the future, AI-generated works will be marked with a separate “AI-generated works” label, so as to be completely separated from the works of human painters. The content of this update includes: : Add the “AI Works” option to the work editing page, users can search for AI works separately when searching, and a special ranking will be set up for this purpose.

A large part of the reason why Pixiv responded quickly to this was that the community was about to be overwhelmed by homogenized AI mapping. We have talked about it in the article before, because AI is not good at drawing human fingers, so the protagonist often has his hands behind his back when painting, like this:

Nowadays, the search interface of Pixiv is often filled with a large number of beautiful girls with their hands behind their backs:

Even passers-by users who are not very interested in AI painting, it is difficult not to be disgusted by this picture. In recent days, Pixiv has received a large number of complaints about AI painting. Most of these works are shoddy products that have not been properly trained, which not only pollutes the painting pool but also reduces the exposure of real painters.

Another part of the reason for this update is probably that the attitude of painters towards AI painting has become more and more subtle.

A month ago, there was a big controversy in AI painting. An American painter believed that after AI had learned a lot of his own painting style, the copyright ownership should also be related to himself by imitating his own painting style. Above is truly original.

As Pixiv mentioned in the announcement: We are in a transitional stage where the relevant ethics and regulations are not yet clear.

Pixiv believes that AI technology may become the right-hand man of creators in the future, just like painting materials, materials, image production software, equipment, 3D technology, etc. that have been born so far, but before that, the game between humans and AI still needs to find a balance The point, in their own words, is to find a way for the creator community to coexist in harmony with technology.

The only regret is that the “AI-generated tags” in this update still need to be manually added by the uploader, which means that as long as the uploaded pictures are not conscious enough or the tags are ignored, there will still be a lot of fish that slip through the net in the community. But in the end, no matter how restrictive the rules and regulations are, self-consciousness itself is the biggest problem in the conflict of AI painting.
