Ethics question using others art for AI clips?

I’ve been practicing using AI and while I’m not an artist, I have had a lot of commissions done for me over the years.

So my question is how ethical is it to release AI clips using other artists art? I’m not selling anything or wanting to take credit, but I’ve created some really good stuff that I wouldn’t mind sharing.

Let me know your thoughts, especially from artists like Mr. X, Dr. Evil and WW3Dart. I’ll just keep it private if those who do the actual wonderful art feel its wrong, and try to share those that are AI generated.

Thanks for your input. Luther

I would say, ask first. People that do it as a hobby, *probably* won’t care, but they were the original creators. Some may let you play with it, but conditionally.

A little bit of courtesy will get you a lot farther. Besides, content creators seldom get the acknowledgment from the consumers of their art. Letting them know you like something will lift their spirits.

Best to ask. I've done a few with artists that I like, but I asked if it was ok and each time they were cool with it. This was particularly true because I planned to post it. That's not to say some artists won't turn you down. The phrase “It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission” really only leads to bad relations.
