'Greg Rutkowski is an artist with a distinctive style: He's known for creating
fantasy scenes of dragons and epic battles that fantasy games like
Dungeons
and Dragons have used.
He said it used to be "really rare to see a similar style to mine on the
internet."
Yet if you search for his name on Twitter, you'll see plenty of images in his
exact style — that he didn't make.
Rutkowski has become one of the most popular names in AI art, despite never
having used the technology himself.
People are creating thousands of artworks that look like his using programs
called AI-image generators, which use artificial intelligence to create
original artwork in minutes or even seconds after a user types in a few words
as directions.
Rutkowski's name has been used to generate around 93,000 AI images on one image
generator, Stable Diffusion — making him a far more popular search term than
Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Vincent van Gogh in the program.
"I feel like something's happening that I can't control," Rutkowski, who is
based in Poland, told
Insider. "My name is being used a lot to generate AI
images, along with the names of other working artists."'
