Should a drawing that was made using AI references be marked as "AI Generated Content"? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is not about any specific case. It's just a theoretical scenario that popped into my mind.

For context, in many places is required to label AI generated content as such, in other places is not required but it is considered good etiquette.

But imagine the following, an artist is going to make an image. Normal first step is search for references online, and then do the drawing taking reference from those. But this artists cannot found proper references online or maybe the artist want to experiment, and the artist decide to use a diffusion model to generate a bunch of AI images for reference. Then the artist procedes to draw the image taking the AI images as references.

The picture is 100% handmade, each line was manually drawn. But AI was used in the process of making this image. Should it have some kind of "AI warning label"?

What do you think?

A case like that doesn't concern me much. If AI has a place in art, it's as a tool like that.

No. Look, it's reference; as long as it's reference and not a study or copy, no one should care. In the same way that if you pose a 3D model that someone else made, rendered it out, and used that as reference, you don't have to mention it.

I think it should be marked under the same conditions in which you would credit another artist on whose drawings your work is based on. Is it a close reproduction of an AI-generated piece? You should mark it as AI-assisted. Did you use AI-generated content as general inspiration to create your own unique artwork? No need to mark it in that case.

No, though I think the right thing for the artist would be to disclose that the references were ai.

Yes. And photos should also have a disclaimer about what kinds of edits were done, regardless if they were done manually or by AI.

I keep seeing stupid ideas in social media because people believe edited photos match reality.

Most places I'm aware of will mention if AI is used in the creation of some product, whether it is directly displayed in the end result or not
