Want to find out if your artwork has been training AI generators?

If you are interested to see if your artwork has been scraped by thieving A.I. training algorithms, you can stick your name into this site and it will show any matches:  haveibeentrained.com/  

If someone's using my pictures to generate art then I think they may end up suing me for the dodgy hands they get.

Considering A.I. generators are renowned for dodgy looking hands, it may be that they were only trained with your artwork   (not that I think there is actually anything wrong with your hands... or those that you draw/paint)

Seems my Limbo piece from way back is included. That is one very low-quality picture to practice on....

There's a load of my old artwork from my Deviant Art account in there, which makes DA's whole opt out system that they eventually implemented completely useless when the images have already been used.

I don't get why anyone should have to "opt out" from having their automatically copyrighted work used without their consent or knowledge.... Shouldn't it be mandatory for AI thingies to only use stuff from people who "opted in"? (And the dead guys)



Then again we have to "opt out" of getting drowned in advertisements via mail and phone....
As if that's something anyone wants....

You would think so 

A list submitted as evidence in a court case containing names of artists the developers of Midjourney were caught discussing intentionally scraping for mimicking their styles:  storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco...nd.407208.129.10.pdf

Yay! They've still never heard of me!

Me either. Then again I didn't know who they were, either. Had to google...

Also looked for my name without any expectation of finding it. I did find there were 30 Charles and one Charlie (not Bowater) but not a single Charlotte on the list, though. So looked some more and there are female names on the list. Just comparatively few.
