What’s everyone’s opinion on Jake Woods AI drama ?
For those unfamiliar, I saw that Zoe bread accused Jake of using AI in his work, and Jake denied it on instagram.
I saw the post on here about his art and was pleased for him, and didn’t spot the AI tbh.
I looked at the art and the signs of AI were obvious. It looks like Jake has changed his statement saying that AI may have been involved but he didn’t use it. And since 2024 no AI has been used in his work.
I don’t really understand how you can have AI in your art, to the point you deny using it only to change your statement.
Any artists here that can explain how AI could have ended up in his painting without his knowledge!?
Is this a normal painting process He wrote: “Just to clarify I do not use AI to generate any of my artworks. I do not use AI personally.
“The images and photos I’ve used were already in existence and I have then collaged them (digitally or manually) and then painted over them digitally myself before printing and sticking them over a mixture of collage, spray paint and acrylic.”
