Illustrator discovers her art was used to train an AI art generator

The adaptor of the software has changed the name of it and included a disclaimer “Hollie is not affiliated with this.” in the README (which we all know nobody reads).
So, that’s alright then /S

He then went on to release another artist version (this time a more conventional comic book style), with this message

“Speaking of that, Hollie was not pleased. Among a few issues with it, she didn’t like her name being associated with it and that’s why the name’s been changed and her non affiliation been made clear.
Now i don’t know Daly but i’d guess he won’t be pleased either. If that bothers you, keep it in mind and don’t download or use it.”

Internet police thyself

BTW the thumbnails do not do justice to Hollie Mengert’s work – there is far more texture and detail than is apparent. And there are already Disney-based versions of the software, classic and modern.
