Anonymous Arizonan asked Stuart Gibbs:

The Once Upon A Tim illustrator, Stacy Curtis, is on the leaked Midjourney artists list. I believe all AI generated art is unethical, but what are your thoughts on AI generated art?

Stuart Gibbs I am not sure what the details are about the Midjourney AI list, but my work has certainly been used illegally to train AI. (My books were on a a list, with thousands of others, uncovered by an investigative journalist.) I believe that companies using the work of thousands of authors and illustrators without their permission to train AI is extremely unethical.
