The article discusses the increasing use of AI-generated images in scientific publications, spotlighting a case where a poorly conceived AI figure passed peer review. While some journals restrict their use due to ethical concerns, others allow them under established guidelines. Concerns from artists like Rita Clare highlight the dangers of relying on AI for scientific communication, indicating a threat to public trust in science. Artists are finding competition with AI tools challenging, leading to decreased demand for their work and lower fees.
She says that certain inaccuracies wouldn't fly if they were created by a person, "but for some reason, having this sheen of fake polish that comes with AI kind of erases all of those standards".
Clare argued that AI images don't succinctly or accurately communicate scientific concepts and could undermine public trust in science.
I've seen a decline in the number of people who have been reaching out to me," she says, adding that she's had to lower her fees to remain competitive.
It's becoming increasingly more difficult to convince people to pay for art when they can just get it for free.
