Here's a way to turn anti-AI rage into action:

Normalize crediting.

I can't tell you how many times an invite, email, blog post, random bit of social media content goes out with some kind of unattributed lovely art.

CREDIT ARTISTS. ON EVERYTHING. It's easy. And if we normalized crediting enough, the generated images would stand out on their own for absence of credit.

@edk how about watermarking all your digital art with the attribution? And if it's visual, actually sign it! I'd think there is almost no chance genAI will (so far) regurgitate a valid digital watermark.
Still have the problem of recognising fake artists though. Hmm.

@Slash909uk @edk are there tools for this kind of thing that are accessible to non-experts?

@kzeta @edk have a read of this and see if anything here fits your needs:

I think one key outcome is to be able to sign your own work such that your identity is irrevocably attached to it, and most importantly that another party cannot impersonate you. This acts to credit your work wherever it is used. AI output could clearly carry a similarly implemented signature but it cannot be yours (or any other IRL artist.)
C2PA seems to fit this need:

@Slash909uk @edk thank you, there are good gems in here!
