DreamUp is an AI art generator that allows users to create AI-generated art with built-in checks and balances. DreamUp is powered by Stable Diffusion, an open-source AI tool that was developed using images scraped from the web. DeviantArt DreamUp allows creators to create any image they can imagine with the power of AI. Users can enter a prompt, giving as much detail about the subject, the style, colors, and background as possible, and generate an image from that prompt. DreamUp images are automatically labeled as AIart and have a DreamUp indication. All images are upscaled at the highest resolutions, and users can keep creating to achieve their vision with variations.
Artists can choose whether or not AI images can be generated in their style, and if they allow their style to be used as inspiration in DreamUp prompts, they get clearly credited in the generated images. DeviantArt is the only platform to provide such control mechanisms for creators with regards to AI art. DreamUp images must comply with the Terms of Service and Etiquette Policy, and AI images should be clearly marked as such.
DeviantArt launched DreamUp to enable safe and fair AI-image generation with built-in checks and balances. However, the launch of DreamUp and the initiative that made everyone’s art opt-in by default angered many members. Some members fear that their work may already have been used to train DreamUp without their permission. DeviantArt has recognized the backlash and is working to address concerns.
