We’re heading into autumn, but technologically we’re in for a protracted “spring” of artificial intelligence, and the biggest evidence of this is the machine learning software that creates the images.

The most famous of these, OpenAI’s DALL-E, and its more advanced version, DALLE-2, have been released over the past year and a half and are slowly shattering many of our long-standing ideas about art, creativity, and spirituality. own. It is no coincidence that DALL-E is named after the animated robot WALL-E, and its name is directly related to the surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Here we are talking about a genuine collaboration between man and machine, opening up a whole new era.

In addition to DALL-E, which is still operating by invitation, several more similar programs have been released that are freely available to everyone. The best example is Midjourney. People who use the respective apps say they are delighted.

You write a sentence, and the AI ​​system gives you an image, as well as several options to choose from. Want to make an Andy Warhol-style astronaut on horseback?

The machine learning model scans the millions of images available to it on the web and thanks to its 3.5 billion parameters can provide you with new images. The results are really impressive.

It is clear that we have entered uncharted territory, where the concept of intellectual property is beginning to blur.

Who owns the project you just created with the AI ​​software?

What claims can be made by the copyright holders of Warhol’s works, or even by the company that made the model? How will an artist in the future be able to protect copyright on a work created using artificial intelligence tools? We are at the beginning of a major upheaval. Connect yourself.
