What’s the relation between using other people art and the user credentials? Should the AI art okay as long as the one published it already has good credentials?
This isn’t about “good credentials”, the person making the post was actually an animator for Invincible (where the image is from).
So it’s the artist posting a meme with their own art from a series, someone accusing them of stealing the art (saying they are as bad as AI) while the artist was actually part of the team that made the series. What is there not to get?
The original poster (Jessie Lam) worked on Invincible as an animator, so they did use their own art for that meme, which is a screenshot from Invincible.
On the other hand… animators usually sell their work to the studio… so “technically” it is no longer “theirs”, they have no right to use a copy without the studio’s permission… 🤷
They aren’t really talking about the copyright in this context. Also artists can usually still claim the work they did with a studio as their own and show it to others at their discretion, they in fact usually put their work in their portfolio to show to potential future employers, or other animators, or even just an online following. Spencer Wan for example likes to post the line tests/animation tests/keyframes/storyboards/etc for some of his animation sequences on twitter, and has done so for Castlevania, The Owl House, Spider-verse, etc. Animators just can’t sell the same work for profit or provide the completed project in its entirety, at least not without permission. There may be restrictions on how early they can show their work publicly depending on the contract, but that’s usually to prevent major spoilers or leaks, and varies between studios/projects. Also, they still get credited for their work in the project they worked on in the credits, so it’s not like they would be completely divorced from it even if they weren’t allowed to share it separately. It’s still classified as “their” work.
Yet the original characters Invincible and Omni-man were created by Robert Kirkman, who did not illustrate the original comicbooks (I think). Man, this thing goes deeeep.
The picture in the meme is a screenshot from the show. It’s not about who created the characters or drew the original comics, it’s about who drew that screenshot.
But isn’t the reply is right?

And aside, memes are memes, that specific image conveys a concept in a way that another, custom made, image wouldn’t.
I had no idea until you explained it. I’m not familiar with any of that content. So thank you.
But couldn’t it be easily inferred from the right-side of the image?
I explained that in another comment. I thought the humour was supposed to be that he could do art but choose to use someone else’s art.
I’m not good with riddles.
That the image is from anime called Invincible, sorry not knowing that
I didn’t know that either. It was more than obvious from the context.
Lmao Invincible isn’t an anime
When the “good credentials” are “drew the art”…

It isn’t as deep as you think it is
That’s what she said.
He said, in a not uncommon self burn
The picture in the meme is a screenshot from the show. It’s not about who created the characters or drew the original comics, it’s about who drew that screenshot.
It was a joke about ownership and the complications of working with other peoples IP. Something AI-enthusiasts could probably relate to.
The point being?
