Swift kicked off "The Eras Tour" at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which was ceremonially renamed Swift City from March 17 to March 18 in her honor. There was a dispute with Big Machine Records over the rights to the masters of her first six albums. Swift has also released two re-recorded studio albums, Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version).

However, these piecemeal moments of resistance may not be enough, as major tech companies like Google and Adobe continue to develop their AI offerings.Taylor Swift performing onstage during her "The Eras Tour" at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on March 18, 2023. “We spend years and year perfecting our craft, we’re underpaid, this is a big deal.”Įxperiences like Kinkaid’s have made illustrators wary of AI tools even being offered as an assistive tool, hence the backlash to Clip Studio Paint’s announcement. “I’m not against AI generators existing, but there need to be protections put in place,” Kinkaid told ARTnews at her booth at Anime NYC, a convention for anime fans in New York in late November. Jordan Kinkaid, an illustrator with a relatively small following but who makes her living illustrating books and selling merchandise based off of her illustrations at conventions, was surprised when she saw that her work had been stolen and input into an AI generator that could roughly reproduce her style.
For example, after famed illustrator Kim Jung Gi died in October, a fan uploaded his illustrations into an AI text-to-image generator that could replicate his style at will. In addition, many users have been using these AI image generators to produce work in the style of a specific, often living artist.
In Clip Studio Paint’s initial announcement about the new AI tool, the company assured users that it was using Stable Diffusion - a powerful AI text-to-image model - to power their generator and wouldn’t be harvesting their users’ work to further train Stable Diffusion’s well developed AI.ĪI text-to-image generators have been highly controversial in artist communities, particularly amongst digital illustrators, because their models were built by ingesting and analyzing hundreds of millions of images, many of which were by artists who did not consent to their work being used.
