Flooded by AI Art
Yesterday at 6:27pm
 
Hey there,  
It seems GCU is becoming a platform for AI art, as these designs appear to be flooding the site. It’s sad to see this, as I've always appreciated that GCU supported individual artists, and this feels like the opposite of that.
 
I'm wondering if there's been any official statement from GCU on this matter, or if this is simply the direction the platform is heading. I'd appreciate any feedback on this.
 
Thanks,  
Gerda

Hi Gerda,  
 
GCU has had an AI policy in place for a couple of years now and I recommend taking a moment to read it.  
 
You'll find that GCU does not accept straight AI generated work. Artists using AI software must add value by significantly making artistic changes to the piece, and GCU requires a link to the original AI creation to ensure during review that added value is sufficient.
 
Many artists, myself included, have dabbled in AI purely as a fun way to create. The artist's heart is one that should always explore and grow.  
 
GCU's AI Policy for submissions:

Hi Doreen,  
Thanks for the reply. It seems like these guidelines are a clear green light for AI creations. Ultimately, this is a numbers game where the sheer volume of AI submissions overpowers the smaller number of traditional ones. After all, AI is always faster and more efficient. Why bother drawing a dog for a greeting card when AI can do it so much better and quicker? I was just hoping GCU might have taken a different path to support art made by humans and not by AI. I'm not even talking about the concern where AI takes all its information from. It's just really sad to witness this.  
 
Thanks again, Doreen.  
Gerda
