In a follow-up interview with Vice Magazine, Allen defended his decision to enter without explicitly labelling the artwork as AI generated. In a post announcing the victory, Midjourney user Jason Allen said: “I have created hundreds of images using it, and after many weeks of fine tuning and curating my, I chose my top 3 and had them printed on canvas after upscaling with Gigapixel AI … I set out to make a statement using Midjourney in a competitive manner and wow!” In August, a painting created by the AI tool Midjourney, titled Théâtre D’opéra Spatial, took first prize in the digital art category at the Colorado State Fair. The growth of AI-generated art has caused disruption other communities as well.
“We just need to do some freaky genetics that create an animal whose sole purpose and feature is to make Dune fan art,” one user proposed. In the r/Dune community, the ban has led to similar proposals.
In the Dune series, the destruction of thinking machines led to the rise of the “navigators”, humans specifically bred and raised to perform the complex calculations required for interstellar travel. “We acknowledge that many of these pieces are neat to look at, and the technology sure is fascinating, but it does technically qualify as low-effort content – especially when compared to original, ‘human-made’ art, which we would like to prioritize going forward.” “Our team has been removing said content for a number of months on a post-by-post basis, but given its continued popularity across Reddit we felt that a public announcement was justified. The ban “applies to images created using services such as DALL-E, Midjourney, StarryAI, WOMBO Dream, and others,” the moderators wrote in a post announcing the decision. There, users who number almost a quarter of a million fans of the novel series, as well as its two film adaptations, moved to ban AI-generated art this week, after a wave of automatically generated content flooded the boards.
