In my Geopolitics class, we discussed how labor is the largest determinant of a product's final price, causing many companies to outsource production where labor is the cheapest. AI art is used similarly. Products are regulated by labels that state where they were made. Maybe in the future art will have labels that state how they were made.
Several artists online share my idea, but labels are scarce so I designed more for others to use.
The AI labels use partially formed letters and circuits to reference computer-generated images while the cursor as “I” represents the typed prompts.
"Human-made for humans" indicates that the art is not to be used for AI training. The labels resemble ancient forms of art and writing with the “a” in “made” as a pencil.
Where a product is made can influence whether or not a consumer buys it. Having art state how it was made would not only provide transparency but also help artists as consumers may place more value on human-made art.
