Lensa AI app uses AI to process images of artistic quality
The HinduIt seems like it is the season of all things AI. It uses a machine learning model, Stable Diffusion, to create artistic portrait images based on the input of two dozen selfie photographs. Lensa AI is now built on an image-based deep learning model that uses massive amount of digital art scraped from the web and LAION-5B database to train its machine learning engine. Their complaint didn’t end there, artists also felt threatened that such an ML model could threaten their livelihoods as deep neural networks could create digital art at a much faster rate and at scale compared to what human artists can. And when a user signs the app’s terms of use, they will be allowing Lensa AI a “perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable, sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, create derivative works of your User Content, without any additional compensation to you and always subject to your additional explicit consent for such use where required by applicable law.” Now, if you are a digital artist who plans to use get some greenroom touch up with Lensa AI for your art work, those terms will come back to bite as you will be granting the app an irrevocable right to your content.
