Harrison said she had noticed a rise in AI-generated posters.
“It’s one of those things where I understand that often budget is a big issue for venues, but again, I think it’s such a shame when creatives don’t support other creatives.”
Generative AI learns from vast quantities of material from the internet, which can be used to generate new content.
This visual material can include images and videos, meaning that an artist’s published work can be used to train AI models.
“It makes me feel quite uncomfortable,” said Harrison.
“When it comes to AI replacing human creativity, that makes me really worried because creativity is such a purely human trait.”
Zase, a Bristol-based graffiti artist, said he did not mind people using AI generated artwork.
“I’m not bothered about what somebody else is doing,” he said.
“AI threatens loads of many jobs, graphic designers, office jobs, it is what it is.”
