  • Additional info

    Additional Note: The issue is illustrated with collages constituted with Midjourney images I prompted to represent the work of the authors or that the authors provided themselves. For the sake of transparency, all of the generated images were prompted without using any living artist as a direct reference (i.e. no “in the style of ____” for anyone who hasn’t been dead for many years. The only named artist in my prompts was William Blake, who is lovably very dead.) I did use public domain/royalty free stock art from rawpixel.com as well. To add on that, all fonts are free or public domain fonts available on dafont.com. The amount of compositing, collaging & digital editing post-generation varies from image to image but everything was touched by my “digital” hand. I also searched each AI image to ensure there was no blatant copyrighted reference image, but I’m aware this is not a definitive approach. This issue and the images within will not be available for sale at any point as AI images cannot currently be copyrighted.
