DS9: Redefined 2.0 - The Ultimate DS9 Upscale Project

The above Sisko example is not "slightly off". It's a completely new image that only resembles the original.

I meant "slightly off" more in the vein of "doesn't look quite natural", not in the vein of "slightly altered image".

As an artist and a writer myself, the idea that someone could just take my work and run it through a soulless computer filter with no effort on their part and claim the output as their own is more than disquieting, and a touch disgusting to me.

That's why we have copyright laws.

Take this exact example. If I were to try to sell the image created by the AI of Sisko here... i'm in violation of copyright laws.

If the AI took your work and changed it adequately to not be recognizable enough to be covered by copyright laws? That really should not effect you in any way. It's really not functionally different than a human taking your work and changing the details enough to skirt past copyright law.

AI is amazing, and will allow amazing things to be done. Yeah, there will be a period of adjustment for creators... and those who fight the hardest against it are going to be the ones who lose the most. Technology moves on, times change, video kills the radio star.
 
Regarding the ChatGPT image and how it doesn't quite look like the people in the real frame. I don't think ChatGPT is allowed to make EXACT representations of people. I think it's always slightly changed. Everytime I have given it an example photo of a person, the head is slightly bigger, the smile is different. It's that way by policy not by capability.
