Wanted an illustration for an upcoming feature, and spent some time using DALL•E for the first time. Fascinating. Generated dozens of images, then drew some parts myself and put them together. I don’t think these models should be trained with copyrighted works, but credit is murky to me now.

@manton Hard to do since you can't credit the training data, but there are some good examples out there of writing something that explains how you used the generative AI. Joanna Penn shares an author's note at the end of this post where she explains her use of AI.

@KimberlyHirsh Interesting! I think I will write a blog post later about how I used this too.

@manton I understand that in US law that images generated by AI are copyright free. How you argue derivatives from the training model no idea but it’s a mess really

@adamprocter Yep. It'll probably sort itself out eventually. For now I'm compromising and putting credit in the title tag of the image so you can see it when rolling the mouse over the image.

@KimberlyHirsh @manton – That article is fascinating! So much she could do on her own. That book cover is amazing.

@vincent Yeah, I found it a great read. It really helped me understand how generative AI can be a tool that supports creativity, rather than replacing it.
