Kanyon Industries is a prominent industry on Twitter, specializing in “transforming ideas in the mind into reality.” With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generating increasingly realistic visual representations, this industry has become a trend over the past year, creating “self-generated images” that make these visuals appear more authentic. The primary goal of this individual is to create hyper-realistic images, simulating cosplayers in various costumes.
It is surprising that anyone can be amazed when witnessing these creations. It turns out that, although they resemble photographs of real cosplayers in costume, they are actually AI-generated products. The images are becoming increasingly refined, to the point that if placed on a scale alongside real photographs, it would be difficult to distinguish between them.
This phenomenon has sparked a debate on various online forums in Japan. There are concerns that AI not only enhances the work of artists but also extends to the realm of cosplayers.
Moreover, it is worth noting that AI can generate images based on content provided by users and what is already available on the Internet. So what will happen if users start utilizing AI to create images based on real individuals? Or what will transpire if cosplayers use this method to save on costs while still producing stunning visuals, leading followers to not notice any difference between real photographs and those made by AI?
Before addressing these questions, several internet users have voiced their opinions as follows:
– The cosplayer depicted by AI may lead many to be cautious. Because there will surely be many violations of image rights in the future. AI could create works featuring the faces of anyone or generate sensitive images that you might not even know exist.
– With the ease of using AI to create such products, many images could be exploited without permission. Clearly, this will harm the interests and rights of artists and cosplayers.
– In some way, AI operates by subtly borrowing ideas. However, it has the potential to elevate the work of many people in a very sophisticated manner.
– I believe that all images generated by AI should be required to clearly state their source.
