A comic book illustrator says artificial intelligence (AI) is "a threat to [his] livelihood", over fears the quickly evolving technology could render artists obsolete.
Gloucestershire-based author Nich Angell spent years perfecting his signature style but worries there is enough of his work in existence that AI could reproduce it perfectly, without him.
It comes as the Lords, who are looking for more protections for artists from AI, rejected the latest amendment to the Data (Use and Access) Bill.
"What AI generation is doing is focusing purely on the product and removing people from that creative process," Mr Angell said.
AI generators are programmed to analyse patterns and relationships in vast sets of data points to generate similar looking outputs based on user text prompts.
