In the dynamic realm of generative artificial Intelligence (AI), the fusion of human creativity and machine intelligence has created a vibrant ecosystem of collaborative artmaking. However, this transformative process brings forth a myriad of concerns, ranging from ethical considerations and the need for originality to navigating the legal complexities surrounding intellectual property. As more and more online communities appear around the use of AI to aid in the creation of images, there arises a pressing need for a comprehensive guide that not only dissects the intricacies of artmaking with generative AI tools but also offers practical solutions to the evolving dilemmas faced by artists, researchers, and technologists. Making Art With Generative AI Tools emerges as an exploration of the challenges posed by this intersection of human expression and artificial intelligence. Artists engaging with generative AI find themselves grappling with issues of authenticity, social toxicity, and the commercial viability of their creations. From avoiding stereotypical visuals to ensuring proper crediting, the realm of generative AI is rife with these complexities. Furthermore, the blurred lines between human and machine authorship necessitate a deeper exploration of how these innovative tools impact creativity, representation, and the very fabric of the art world.
