Clip Studio Paint Is Incorporating Stable Diffusion

Clip Studio Paint is Incorporating Stable Diffusion

***THE BUILD GOES LIVE DECEMBER 6TH***

Here's the bullet points you need to know about Clip Studio Paint joining deviantArt as today's 'villain for no good reason' de jour.

They are adding Stable Diffusion as a function of the program.

It is using the same stolen dataset we're all very familiar with.

This, in lieu of the millions of other features artists have actually been asking for.

This should be enough to make anyone angry. Really. The SD dataset is still a tirefire of stolen material. Nothing has changed that, and Celsys has made no steps to create their own AI database. Which is ironic, because they could've managed to bring in a lot of good will by seeking volunteers and buying up stock, but they did not.

As with dA, this is a case of 'do the thing, then apologize later, and hope people just kind of go along with it.'

What the new changes do not currently do:

Celsys is allegedly not scraping content from their users.

Celsys is allegedly not going to scrape content from their users without the users' express permission.

Celsys has not explained how they aim to do this, or what formal steps users must take to opt in or out.

I personally don't trust that it will stay like this. So:

What I'd recommend is freezing auto-updates on iPad (you have to do it through Settings -> App Store -> App Updates toggle) and just not updating CSP at all on any other platforms until this gets sorted out.
