Art - Creativity

In this cluster, concerns about negative impacts on human creativity, particularly through text-to-image models, are prevalent. Papers criticize financial harms or economic losses for artists due to the widespread generation of synthetic art as well as the unauthorized and uncompensated use of artists' works in training datasets. Additionally, given the challenge of distinguishing synthetic images from authentic ones, there is a call for systematically disclosing the non-human origin of such content, particularly through watermarking. Moreover, while some sources argue that text-to-image models lack 'true' creativity or the ability to produce genuinely innovative aesthetics, others point out positive aspects regarding the acceleration of human creativity.
