In an email, Stålenhag says that he objects to the way Guadamuz framed his stunt, but accepts his apology. The artist doesn't view the AI images mimicking his work as plagiarism because of how novel they look, and thinks that tools like the one used might prove useful for exploring new artistic ideas.
But Stålenhag does not like the way new technologies can be set up to enrich already powerful tech companies and CEOs. "AI is the latest and most vicious of these technologies," he says. "It basically takes lifetimes of work by artists, without consent, and uses that data as the core ingredient in a new type of pastry that it can sell at a profit with the sole aim of enriching a bunch of yacht owners."
