I have no clue how you can't see it. Literally the first thing I thought when I saw the banner for this game was "Is this AI afrobull?"
And creating art of existing characters has nothing to with an artist's artstyle. You can find 1000 of images of Mickey Mouse on the internet and clearly see the difference between each of them, and probably also recognize which known artists have drawn which versions. Afrobulls style is quite unique. I know of another artist out there who has a similar style to afrobull's but I can still tell that the other artist has taken inspiration from afrobull and is not just straight up copying them. This AI is not taking inspiration from Afrobull. This AI is just trained to replicate afrobull's artstyle
Are these specific characters drawn by Afrobull? If so, then you could say that it's plagiarism. On the contrary, using a way of drawing (it doesn't matter who was previously used it) is not plagiarism, it's like saying that using a writing technique is plagiarizing others who used it before.

For example, if I try to write a piece the way Arturo Pérez Reberte writes it, I would not be plagiarizing him (in fact the crime would be passing it off as the writer's original), if, on the contrary, I take a series of his articles and I write one taking fragments of them to pass it off as my writing, then it would be plagiarism.

Is it so hard to understand that a machine that can replicate a person's art style in less than a week is not comparable to an artist who spends years perfecting their craft.

Also what are you even talking about? Writing styles are in fact something that can be copy righted why do you think certain font types are exclusive to certain franchises? And before you say '' I wAs TaLkInG AbOuT WrItInG TeChNiQuEs '' writing on a piece of paper and drawing is not the same thing.

Plus, there's that whole problem with all of these large pattern models are all 'taught' by indiscriminately scrapping content from the entire internet. That's why you can get LLM's to quote entire pages worth of copyrighted work, because all of it was just shoveled into them whole-hog. All so that some Silicon Valley Tech Bros and Venture Capitalist Ghouls can then turn around and sell it to the public (and more specifically, other investors and shareholders), a monolith to greed built on the trampled remains of millions of artists unaccredited and uncompensated work.

Man, I fucking hate this anti-human, fake futurism bullshit...

Yes, it's the same style, but I'm not seeing that the fist one is one of his drawings.

Using another author's drawing technique, even if it's an AI that does it, isn't plagiarism.

And speaking of plagiarism, I guess you've noticed that almost all of his drawings refer to famous mangas and animes (which weakens your arguments quite a bit).

didn't play the game yet but a question nevertheless: how did you manage to get the same character with different poses? did you train a lora or is it inpainting or something else? Nuteku

Just super detailed prompts and the character designs are simple. I haven't trained a lora though I've used a little bit of inpainting.

A-Fuckin'-men it's not even real AI, it's just a more sophisticated search engine.

LMAO at people who try to complain about "ripping off someone's style"... on a pirate site...


:LOL:
Boy am I sick of seeing this braindead take. Even if we accept that piracy and plagiarism are morally equivalent, piracy for one's own entertainment and piracy for profit sure as hell aren't, and the latter is what's comparable.

So... we can download a game with "plagiarised art"... for free on a pirate site... Where's the profit LOL?:ROFLMAO:

There is a patreon being advertised with the game. And on that patreon page there is AI art being shown. Art that got produced by AI that got trained to replicate afrobull's artstyle as closely as possible
So? Don't support the dev on Patreon. And nobody's forcing you to. "Vote" with your money. I don't see a problem here.
Unless your problem is that people have opposing views on AI than you and the "it's plagiarism" argument does not affect them and they'd gladly support the dev who's using "plagiarised AI art"?
