Lots to unpack here.
1. The issues isn't just artistic expression, but the tools used are unethical, they are trained off of unlicensed artistic labor. Kind of implies you're okay with tech companies exploiting artists work. Many of your students are fuel for the machine

🇬🇧 GOBELINS Paris shared a student project yesterday.
The publication featured several visuals created with the help of an AI. Many people expressed their disappointment at seeing artificial work published on our networks. We're not unaware of recent controversies associating AI…
2. I know plenty of artists whose job it is to do pitch packages, concepts and prototype exploration. Should teach your Project Management students how to work with artists instead of teaching them that they can cut them out with AI.

3. The fact that these are being subitted for an actual event, helps to normalize a world that removes work from artists which feels like a disservice to your students training to be artists.

"Ethical Art." Should there be some kind of international body or panel to decide which is and isn't Ethical Art?
The "Ethical Art" panel could be made up of wealthy art gallery owners and art dealers who fake up new works by Da Vinci!

It's unethical to steal and devalue labor and craft for your own gain. We wouldn't have this issue if AI companies simply asked permission and licensed the data they wanted to train their AI on.

I’m not sure if it’s a translation thing, but their statement that it’s ok because only students destined for project management in publishing are using it is a bit of a record scratch.
