Is Lensa AI Stealing From Human Art? An Expert Explains The Controversy

TL;DR

— Lauryn Ipsum (@LaurynIpsum) December 6, 2022A 🧵 https://t.co/0lS4WHmQfW pic.twitter.com/7GfDXZ22s1To really grasp the positives and negatives of Lensa, it's worth taking a couple of steps back to understand how artists' individual styles can find their way into, and out of, the black boxes that power systems like Lensa.We might see "modernism" or "thick ink" in its outputs, but Stable Diffusion sees a universe of numbers and connections.So if Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image system where we navigate through different possibilities, then Lensa seems quite different since it takes in images, not words.However, while it is easy to make an artwork that looks good using AI, it's still difficult to create a very specific work, with a specific subject and context.It may be that artists themselves will need to borrow a page from the influencer's handbook and invest more effort in publicizing themselves."
