Welcome to Data Science Dojo’s weekly newsletter, “The Data-Driven Dispatch“. In this week’s dispatch, we’ll discuss how AI generated art is changing the creative landscape forever.
Creative work has always been perceived to be valuable; something not everyone is capable of. After all, how many creative minds such as Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, and Pablo Picasso have we ever witnessed in history?
However, new AI tools such as DALL.E, MidJourney, etc. are challenging the traditional notion of creativity, empowering everyone to express themselves in new ways. Read more
Yet, the convergence of artificial intelligence with something as sacred as creative work raises questions for the future. Will creative work also be commoditized as other tasks? What about copyright infringement issues? Are these tools going to be biased given their training data is biased?
Well, hang on tight as we answer these questions for you!
Here are some major advancements in the AI-verse since we last met:
1) Meta Releases Stable Signature – A Method to Watermark AI-Generated Images: Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and Inria have introduced Stable Signature, an invisible watermarking solution to authenticate open-source AI-generated images, enhancing trust and responsibility in AI content. Read more
2) Google Joins Adobe and Microsoft in the AI Copyright Battle: Google, following Microsoft and Adobe, pledges to protect users of its generative AI systems in Google Cloud and Workspace from intellectual property claims. Content creators have raised concerns about copyright violations related to AI training data and generated content. Read more
3) XLANG Lab Releases Lemur-70B and Its Chat Variant: XLANG Lab presents Lemur-70B and Lemur-70B-Chat, powerful open language models. They ace 15 agent tasks and closely match GPT-3.5. Lemur is designed to help language agents understand instructions and perform tasks in real-world scenarios. It excels in both language and coding, making it a game-changer. Read more
Yes, Generative AI is Going to Alter Creative Work:
AI has already started to make marks in the creative work. Did you know Jason M. Allen used MidJourney, an AI tool to create this piece of art in the Colorado State Fair’s Annual Art Competition and he won the blue ribbon for emerging digital artists?
Just like this, there are several ways generative AI can augment human creativity. This includes:
- Promoting divergent thinking
- Challenge expertise bias
- Assist in idea evaluation
- Support idea refinement
- Facilitate collaboration among users

The Intellectual Property Problem of Generative AI
While creative industries are rushing to implement generative AI, there are legal uncertainties related to copyright infringement and ownership of AI-generated works.
A U.S. court has ruled that AI generated art without human input cannot be copyrighted, affirming the rejection of a copyright application for an AI-generated art piece. Read more

Prompting for AI Generated Art
Prompting for art generation tools is quite different. You must have some information related to arts to generate certain outcomes. Here are some prompting techniques that can be helpful!
Here’s a quick comparison of DALL.E 2 and MidJourney depicting Pablo Picasso’s work. The prompt used was, “Spongebob Squarepants painted by Pablo Picasso, oil on canvas”.
