Note to anyone who buys art from an artist: DO NOT EVER RUN THE ART THROUGH AN AI-PROGRAM! It will change details and destroy the art AND feeds that art into the program to be stolen over and over again!
To do this is to allow the theft of the artist's work.
Sincerely: Artist whose map just got absolutely ruined by AI "filter" and is shared in instagram with all the million mistakes that makes my skills look absolute shit. Plus the theft thing.
I am so so sad.
Thank you for sharing this, the topic is so important.
And not to defend the idiot, but I don't think your client meant any harm. They probably weren't thinking at all, which of course isn't really better.
Your issue reminds me of the times when everyone first joined Google. I never did, but they got my name and number anyway, merrily handed over by my some of my best friends … who never meant me any harm. They just weren't thinking.

The issue has been cleared. The author, ak.a my client, said her PA did the graphics and she her self did not realize what had happened. The ruined map has been removed and if/when she posts the map again, it will be in its original form without AI "edits".
Apologies have been given in plenty, and I will be credited accordingly. She has learned a lesson, and hopefully the PA has also done so...
That sounds good!
And thank you again for posting this. I think it's pretty common for artists to use AI with no thought for possible consequences. Wo bothers to read the terms of use?
That'y why it's a really good thing when examples like this are out there.
