Following the rise of the “Made by AI” label to point content created by artificial intelligence (AI), the label “Created with Human Intelligence” is spreading. That is an attempt by artists to appeal to human creativity as AI creations increase.
Forbes recently reported that the ‘Created by Human Intelligence’ challenge is popular on social media resembling Instagram. This event, which was began by one individual, has had 1,200 artists take part a month, and is thought to be expanding worldwide, including to the US, UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Brazil.
In accordance with this, this was first attempted by an illustrator named Beth Spencer in June of last yr. Seeing the growing concerns about AI creations around him, he sooner or later uploaded a drawing of a hand holding a pencil with the phrase “created by human intelligence” on it and posted it on his homepage.
The label, which was later posted on Instagram, quickly gained traction among the many artist community. Spencer said she gave permission for it for use on her site, and received 50 requests on the primary day alone. “I believed possibly two or three people can be like, ‘Thanks, I’ll take one,’” she said, adding that it was unexpected.
While he was at it, he opened a challenge where people could interpret the hand-drawn images he posted in their very own style. He later explained, “It just blew up.”
In only a couple of weeks, 1,200 artists, illustrators, and designers have posted their work in a wide range of formats. Ink, pastel, coloured pencil, watercolor, paper collage, claymation, and even ceramics have appeared. There are currently several similar challenges on social media.
The message here is evident: human artists cannot and shouldn’t get replaced by AI.
But Spencer said, “I’m not saying we must always ban AI,” adding, “I’m saying we must always prioritize human creativity over opposition to technology.”
The challenge will run until the tip of August, and Spencer plans to randomly select a winner from among the many entries. The winner will receive a free $70 annual membership to a web-based art community Spencer founded. It’s not an enormous deal.
In fact, this challenge isn’t receiving much support due to the prizes.
“I don’t normally do these challenges, but this one felt different,” said Christopher Sonnock, an illustration professor at Utah Valley University. “It felt like a method to show solidarity with other artists.”
He also said, “I would like the general public to know that we’re connected to our work through our hands, our heads, and our hearts,” and “there may be a human soul and experience behind our work.”
