File:Midjourney Dali.png

As works by Salvador Dalí (d. 1989) are still in copyright, it should be discussed whether this allegedly AI-generated image violates the copyright of Dali by imitating his painting-style. -- Túrelio (talk) 10:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the nomination. First of all we are all assumed to work in good faith so I am not really happy with the word "allegedly". I asked Midjourney to generate something looking like a Dali painting and here is what I got, after a few attempts. I am indeed myself curious to see if the principle that AI generated works are PD applies here. Can any element from an actual Dali painting be spotted in this image ?

I choose the term "alleged" as we/I have no means to really evaluate the true source, not out of mistrust directed at you.--Túrelio (talk) 12:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No, styles are not copyrighted. I don't think it's likely it will be discussed in a rational reasonable manner instead of people just voting whatever subjective opinions they have without any substantiation. You are allowed to go to some museum or public exhibition or publicly available images on the Web and get inspired from them or try to create something of the same style. It's for example why musical genres can exist instead of one artist producing something that then wards off anything else similar to it. Prototyperspective (talk) 11:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, see Commons:AI-generated media#Special case: intentionally derivative works. --Túrelio (talk) 12:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but you wrote imitating his painting-style as rationale. I don't see any derivative parts in this image and it would be easier to determine if the user had provided the prompt. I wouldn't object to deletion that much because the image is really bad and doesn't show the Dali style well. A better image should be uploaded and once there is one I'd vote delete because the image is not that illustrative, accurate or useful. Prototyperspective (talk) 12:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a derivative work of Dali's The Persistence of Memory. It's a rather bad one, as it's reinterpreted the "soft" clocks as an ordinary pocket watch, but it's still unmistakably based on that painting. Omphalographer (talk) 19:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete derivative of multiple elements of Dali's work, not useful for Commons. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 03:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. "Personal" art, not helpful to Commons, out of scope. --P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
