Corporations: "No, we must have international copyright law to protect small creators from exploitation. Your free Pokemon fangame is stealing other people's work!" Also Corporations: "Let's steal every single work of art ever drawn by a human at the same time to create a for-profit system deliberately designed to harm those same artists' businesses!"
I got DeviantArt just before the AI epidemic. It was really cool seeing all the cool art and sharing my own. But now, I scroll my feed and almost ALL of it is AI and it's so depressing honestly. I shouldn't be getting excited to see real person art on a website that was originally just for real people to share their art.
I only enter two o Three times Deviantrt sinse las year whit the whole IA thing And didn't find any... Guess I have been too long there ( sinse 2009 ) and only go strait to my messeges or people I watch that I didn't see any jajaj
a couple other troupes I see in ai "art": melty jewelry that looks highly detailed upon a glance but is basically metal globs of spaghetti splattered around the image. Same goes for lacey details and it will never be symmetrical. Another troupe is flyaway hairs that are attached to nothing or make no sense which makes it look like the person is shedding. Lastly, I see a ton of bootleg Sailor Moon art, variants include: wrong colored hair, outfits that are half Sailor Moon's battle outfit half casual wear, including cats that are distinctly NOT Luna, Artemis, or Diana, and many others.
Don't forget about this trope: absolutely unrealistic, whimsical, magical furniture. I once saw on Pinterest a picture of some kind of bed/chair thing that had a golden frame in the shape of a crescent moon. In said golden frame was a pattern made of stars. That floated. There was no glass or transparent material, nothing to hold the stars, it was so, so, SO obvious. Yet, people kept asking in the comments where they could buy said furniture. I simply posted a comment saying something like "It's scary that people don't see it's AI, it's so obvious it hurts", and I got a reply telling me it was easy to get fooled, because this chair thingy could exist!
@@outlawsyl Yes, but with real art there will be actual thought and purpose put into the jewelry even if the artist merely drew a blob and rendered it. With ai, there is no rhyme or reason to the shape whatsoever.
the most common version of AI art ive seen is hyperrealism, but with really unnatural lighting and ambience. like a strong blue light coming from behind the characters when the background shows a warm light, or snow appearing inside the house.
That's made by Bing AI that has a wildly overzealous censorship on 2 levels: the prompt itself before generating is filtered for inflammatory phrases and keywords and then another after generating, scanning for anything that could be erotic or racist or whatever, with a huge margin of false positives just to be on the safe side. The weird colours you mentioned is a common trick to confuse the 2nd stage censorship for the filter to not notice humans, asking for weird colours is a standard practice to minimise the risk of the dreaded doggening. The snow thing is just that the AI is not aware, so it does not UNDERSTAND the prompt or the image it creates, it's just statistical data it learnt and uses to generate visuals that statistically are associated with each other. So if it generates a mountain cottage in winter, it will likely lack some walls or won't know if the snow or the moon should be indoors or in the window, etc...
For the cute animal one, my grandma & mom saw this christmas tree made of cats on facebook & sent it to me just saying "oh look at this it's so cute", looking closely it's ai generated as their faces are all kinda deformed and some of them merged together
Omg same… I was absolutely horrified when my aunt told me how much she paid for a creative fabrica subscription; of course not all content on there is AI, but lately I’ve seen a concerningly large amount of it there…
Honestly the cute animal thing being not real has been a thing for a while like often the cats on some cat food boxes are often just relisticly painted animals or edited photos
i keep getting these ads with what looks like a bunch of conventionally attractive women with text that says something like “you can generate nsfw images of you ai girlfriend!!” and it’s honestly kind of funny, but also kind of sad
So recently i entered into an art contest at school in the digital art section. Some friends of mine said they heard people call it ai art. 😭 im honestly flattered but also offended.
That reminded me in my school there was a contest in stem class for making “mission patches” inspired by the nasa ones that they would then buy and make for the class, and the winning entry was so clearly ai(also the one the patch company responded with because obviously ai does hype realistic stuff which can’t be made on a pin was drawn by a real artist at least but it looked super bad) me and my friend were both super mad because we had put lots of effort into ours and hers looked really good, especially compared to the winner who didn’t even try since it was just an inserted image that was clearly ai generated :(
the way your first drawing is 100% perfectly a description of the ai "art" that disgraced sword-youtuber shadiversity tried to boast about being so deep and good bc he had to use SEVERAL different prompts in the ai program wow! the final product of his "art" was a dark haired anime girl with pigtails in school uniform, holding a sword and slicing through a...dinosaurs?? neck in a pose that makes me spine and neck hurt just looking at it...look it up its extremely funny how bad it looks and how proud of it he is
MIdjourney is now getting hit with a lawsuit for using thousands of unconsenting artists for their database!! One of the things that Midjourney was using to justify themselves was something along the lines that "it is very difficult to tell what artists' artwork is being used so therefore we cannot be held responsible for copyright" or something like that, so the evidence proves they were lying about it. Unfortunately, many people have identified that some of the artists they are stealing from are already deceased, but hopefully they will get justice.
Going through some extremely hard stuff right now but getting a notification from you has instantly made me feel a little better (it always does). Thank you, Haley.
One of the things I struggle with as an artist is hands and mine almost always end up backwards, or having two left hands. Seeing all this AI "art" made me worry that my backwards hands I seem to never notice until someone else points it out would get my art claimed as AI generated. So now I end up paranoid about my art and my wonky, fucked up and backwards hands that my family and friends joke about, saying it's part of my "style", lol.
Fun fact: "hand" is only one letter away from "hard". I just thought of this and, OMG, it's so true. I hope it helps that I have trouble with drawing all five fingers (I default to four) and I used to struggle with backwards facing hands too :/
if you need some tips, try putting yourself in the pose the characters making before drawing the hands!! I had a really big problem with backwards hands too but this mostly fixed it for me :]
The thing is AI images are a great starting point for figuring out what how you want to dtaw something, but it most definitely is not something you should call a finished product. Also remember NFT's? This is NFT's 2.0, and techbros be seething.
I used to love scrolling google images for other peoples' art or cosplay for inspiration for stories or characters or worlds... tried it recently and it was almost impossible to find actual images that weren't ai generated and/or nightmare fuel...
I tried to follow a few ai artist in instagram, and what I always felt following ai artists (artists or instagram accounts etc that dedicate exclusively to ai art) is that I feel like I'm following a promo account for midjoruney (or dall-e or whatever), and does not feel like I'm actually following an artist/person. Don't know if this will change in the future, but for now that's how I feel
These accounts are asset garbage dumps. It's like following someone that uploads unedited stock images. You know they are stock images, but you just don't know the source. The uploader is completely detached from the content they provide, so it's completely irrelevant who they are. They could just as well be a bot.
About the too cute animals : i recently created a new instagram account and on the brand new "for you page" EVERYTHING was just the atrocious fake pictures of cats
I put a picture of myself and my dog into an Ai art app with no prompts and it merged the pictures, it was basically an anime character mixed with a dog but with really broken limbs, like, video game ragdoll limbs when they get stretched too far
I have this bookmark that I got for free when I bought a bunch of books, and it's so clearly ai I actually find it kind of funny- It's supposed to be a butterlfy but it looks SO cursed. it has three antennas (one of them if just floating in the air), only one wing, and the most messed up looking legs. It's like one big leg that's not even connected to the body with really long hair looking things coming out of it. Also the flowers around it are literally blending into eachother 😭😭
I think one of the wackiest categories is Stable Diffusion. Usually I see this used to paint a medieval village, but they've plugged in a pattern that the painting follows, like a checker board, a spiral, or straight up text. Up close, it looks like an old-timey town, but from a distance, for example, you can see a cool pattern, or the words TWO TRUCKS.
The problem with AI art (and AI in a lot of other areas) is that is taking away entry point jobs. The kind of jobs that helps young fresh-out-of-college people to learn more about how _the industries_ they want to be a part of work. Without them it gets harder for a lot people to get a" foot in the door" of those industries, with also has the side-effect of increasing nepotism in said industries, because with less new people "entering" throught the entry level jobs the only way to get young talent is by bringing in the children of the people already inside. I know internships and grunt work are awful, but 90% of the people now working on industries like animation and advertizing wouldn't had get as far as they got if they had to be freelancers since the begining of their carreers
I see a LOT of AI art on Pinterest now, and you can usually tell just because theres a million different images that seem to be generated in the same session by the same keywords lol. Which it is kind of interesting to see how many different variations of a concept the ai can generate. I think there is something to that to aid in actual creativity and character design perhaps. But nothing is really going to compare to art actually made by a human being.
I get why people don’t vibe with blank expressions, but I honestly love how understated they are. It feels like you’ve caught the character lost in their thoughts, and you don’t have a clear signal what those thoughts were about, so you start _wondering._ Scanning their face for little tells. Big expressions and small ones are both valuable. Also AI art is plagiarism. Keep fighting the good fight.
You know what would be fun? If that seemingly blank expression was painted by an actual artist who could actually hide little tells or hints to make you ponder. When it's made by an AI there's no intent behind it so there's nothing to actually think about. You and I both know that with AI art the expression is blank because 1. AI isn't that good at facial expressions 2. An emotionless face more attractive to whatever basement dwelling neckbeard with no real skill who wrote that prompt.
a content creator hired someone to do a poster for a project they spent a while on and the person they hired made the poster out of ai. the content creator fired the person as soon as it was pointed out iirc
sometimes im happy i didnt have ai as a kid, because i might have gotten lost in being able to generate images and ocs... thankfully i drew badly and unapologetically like a real man
Ai art, which I think people hate way too much, is never going to replace artist. I've been asking for lavendertowne to draw tanks of war as human characters for over 200 days (a surprising amount of stuff has happened within that short span of time) and sometimes I try to have AI draw tanks as people, but ai will never be able to do such a wacky thing. Ai can't understand wacky things like that. Yet a human can understand such a wacky thing. Humans can understand things millions of times better than AI. Stop the hate of ai please, it's not replacing anything, and please for the love of all things, don't hate on me for having a different opinion about AI than most people. Far too many people hate me for having a different opinion.
I miss when AI "art" looked uncanny and clearly computer made, because I saw an analog horror that used this to it's advantage, and it made it look really creepy and uncanny and was used amazingly. But now, we can't have that anymore because it's gotta look perfect or something. The analog horror is called Liminal Land, by the way. It's really good
the thing is that your drawings of these AI horrors just immediately have more character and charm than the AI images that inspired them. The act of actually *drawing* them makes them better
On an app called Pixilart someone followed me so I checked their account, like 6 months ago they posted like 5 AI images and the whole desc of each of them was "THIS IMAGE BELONGS TO ME AND I DO NOT WANT IT STOLEN" and in only like 2 of them they actually said it was ai. Like girly that's not your's 😂
I think what sucks about ai ¨art¨ is that all thoes people think of art in the lense of money making and efficiency. They can't understand actually having fun creating something new and having something that's yours and that you worked hard to get
I tried running some ideas through the anime style on with the AI art generator apps and it became a really distorted movie poster. I also tried to run a few of my Digital arts through it and it turned out very simplistic and cartoon ey. my art is cartoon but I ran it through an anime filter and expected something else
there is no such thing as AI ,,art" or AI ,,artist". It's like calling yourself a solider because you play CSgo or calling yourself a driver because you played Need For Speed
I've seen people on some art websites _selling_ AI generated adopts for ridiculous amounts of real money. Like, they edited it slightly and said "Give me $70."
I've been refusing to use ai art since the beginning, but one day, my male friend almost forced me and my other friend to do spider sonas with ai, that other friend is skinny and has long hair so she really had no problems getting the ai to do something similar to her, but me and my male friend are chubby, the ai keep turning him into some type of Steven universe and keep turning me Asian because apparently chubby+short hair=asian
Another way to find AI photos of women is when the skin looks like plastic. Like, even when a human editor uses photoshot, they know to leave a bit of texture in. But with AI, the images are soo smooth, it looks more like plastic than skin. Fortunately the AI is starting to use AI generated images to "learn" so that brings the quality down overall. In a few years AI will be unusable because of that.
Hey there! I had a little art question that I was curious if you could help me with. I love drawing characters but I always end up making their color pallets the same. I’m always drawn to blacks and grays for clothes. Any tips on how to fix this?
i hate AI art sm 😭 the whole point of art is creativity and something human and genuine that we’ve made ourselves, so AI is just taking that and ripping out all the soul and humanity from it, which is literally the whole point.
Most -"AI artists"- only care about the profit, so they usually forget to check the quality and now it feels like they are creating instant noodles art.
As an artist and someone who currently works in a retail print place, it's been so irritating seeing orders come through that have AI art. I've seen a banner advertising social media, I've seen booklets and "children's books", I've seen a holiday advent calendar activity thing...some of these I sit here and wonder if the customer did the generating themselves, or if someone got scammed and bought a product they thought was hand drawn. I enjoy admiring the actual art that occasionally comes through, so whenever I realize that it might be AI generated, it's so sad.
I’m not for Ai art( I have seen an Ai ad for talking with Ai that stole from the people who made the amazing digital circus, they’re using Jax for their Ad but it doesn’t show on the mainstream stuff but it shows on the small stuff).
I was some time ago asked if I use image generators to my work (im a design student, but focusing on illustration and animation) I said that 100% no and i hate that someone acually asked me that! But now that I'm getting used to it existing, I can see that it could be a bit helpful in a concept art sphere! Where you ask your generator to peech you some ideas, and then you create something OF it not like use it mindlessly but use them to create something new. I can imagine that AI could drastically cut half of a time use to do research for inspirations and such
8:11 these drives me nuts as a bird person because like baby birds are kinda ugly and I think that’s the cutest thing about them, but these AI people disagree
I honestly miss when AI art was extremely freaky and bordering on Lovecraftian Horror. It was so genuinely fascinating to see the beautiful horrors it could create
@@abiliv-lf9tzIm not so sure. Disney has been going down the drain in terms of entertainment; if they turn to AI it’ll outright kill their company. They’ve been struggling with their streaming platforms and their movies have been mediocre for the past few years.
Exactly! Like when they make ads made with ai, don't they understand that unless one scrolls by very fast they will see an abomination advertising the company???
Theres something fascinating in a human looking at a machine image and replicating it in their own eyes. Like the character has too many fingers, but you know it's a person that wanted that detail specifically considered how many to add
There is this entire genre of image I found on Pinterest where it’s Park Jimin from BTS but he’s like, in other professions or movies and he’s in immense pain
i used a prompt that was "Hutu people" (the hutus are an ethnic group from Rwanda) and it gave me a bunch of greyish brown bald shining little kids with the most anime girl face ever holding a water bucket and i laughed for an hour straight.
I remember learning something like that in philosophy class. I was told that AI still can’t understand things in context like humans can. While a human would hear “salmon in water” and immediately know it’s a living fish, a machine might not and just give an image of salmon meat.
@@ahseymaniaI did the same but with Sámi people (Theyre some indigenous Scandinavians) and I got a girl with a blue dress and a giant bow and anime eyes. I draw a lot of Nordic things because Nordic stuff is my hyperfixation (and I have a Sámi character) and I died
It’s actually quite sad. Ai art has been ripping creativity out of artist’s hands. It’s a shame honestly, and Ai doesn’t deserve to call it “theirs” Edit: yeah I can see how it”s not ripping creativity out of artist’s hands, but I have seen some Ai art that’d copying artists’ creative ideas, and I just think it’s a shame
Lets just hope that it doesnt get worse and that artists like us dont need to worry about these "anti-arts." (I might call it anti instead of AI from now on because AI art isnt even real art-)
I used gacha before and yea. Eslecially gacha club because it has much more costomizability, my dumbass vampire oc was more original than anything a flippin software could make
There are some seriously cool dress up games out there tho too! As an artist I find it to be be really inspiring to play around with dress up games as a way to get my creativity flowing.
I loved when ai art sucked ass, because the strange and nonsensical nature of it was fantastic for giving me inspiration and ideas and color pallets. Now it's too good, it doesn't just give me something to build off of, it tries to _do_ it for me- and badly. It's becoming less and less useful to me the better it gets.
People are saying that "artists will still have a purpose, because someone needs to fix the AI's mistakes". No. That's image editing. It's a completely different skillset and missing all the fun parts of the art making process
tbh if you want weird nonsensical surrealism, just use dall-e mini (or whatever theyre calling it now.. craiyon?) bc it puts out rough pixels that someone with an eye for design could truly make something of instead of the polished intentionless finished product
I've seen ai "art" sort of get harder to actually spot as ai, which makes me worried for other artist because 100% real artist will be mistaken for ai "art". I've even seen adoptables of ai and almost thought it was legit
Same I was scrolling Pinterest because I thought splatoon fanart couldn’t be ai since I never see ai splatoon fanart until then and I was like oh cool and I saw in the comments it was apparently ai I wouldn’t have know it was ai until I looked at the comments, which is scary……..
I’ve also seen some artist be accused to using ai. When the picture was created before ai started to be used for that. Which kind of makes sense since AI is stealing from artists so of coarse it’s going to look like some people’s art styles.
Also doesn't help that some more skilled AI users paint over the errors, making it harder to tell that it's AI. Which is even worse because it means the user has the skills to make good genuine art but just chooses not to
i've already been tricked into buying AI pngs for a stream. there was no disclaimer, and the creator changed the description after i bought it to gaslight me. it was only obvious looking at the details to try and learn from what i thought was "good art" - the bows were a mess, the outer lines were all wrong.. there are now several sites you can run images through to detect stablediffusion, midjourney, etc. use them well, and Glaze your own art.
On a somewhat similar note, the widely known eccentricities of AI "art" can also potentially be harmful to artists who are experimenting with more bizarre features in their work. For example, one of my most complex creature designs is directly based on Happy Meat Farms and having said that, I'm sure you can probably guess how fucked up his appearance is. Given how difficult he was to draw and how many times I had to tweak the design, I can't imagine how gut-punched I would feel if people assumed I used AI just because he's got extra fingers and limbs.
The animal one I have experience with. On Christmas this year I received a bag my aunt gave me, it had a frog design on it. As an artist who has had experience with ai art I realized it was ai art, I felt horrible, my aunt probably didn’t know the design was ai art, since she had sewn the bag. I don’t know how to tell her it’s an ai generated art piece since I know she put a lot of effort into sewing the bag. It had all the stuff that Haley mentioned, sparkley raindrops, huge eyes, it looked very small and chibi.
I got a pencil case with what I suspect is AI imagery printed on it as well. I still like the gift because I'm sentimental like that, but you just gotta shudder a bit.
I agree with the idea that at least a kid tracing is making an effort. To emulate a style that speaks to them. A I does not do that I think the word I'm looking for is "aspiration". A kid feels that. An A I can't
What infuriates me about AI art (that isn't the obvious reasons listed) is that people with a smooth, glossy, air brushy, sort of art style (like the promotional official art for genshin) are being called AI when it's clearly not.
Ooh, I actually fell for that when I saw the Navia Webevent, the art style used in the title image is so reminiscent of AI that the warning bells were setting off in my head even if the details all made sense
People who think that are stupid imo because who thinks of ai so often that to the point where they get paranoid and harass completely normal artists over a “suspicion”? Ridiculous
@@______________url its actually so weird just how much ai u find online. I was trying to find fanart of a character, and found a really cool image, so I went to check the creator out and it’s just ai. so I genuinely have to question what is just really impressive ai ‘art’ and what is created by an actual artist. (I don’t harass artists that I suspect of using ai, I just kinda move on)
I became very suspicious of people with such art styles since AI has taken over a small OC sub I'm a part of, the AI art has been banned from there already, but now I always do a double check when some people I've never seen before in that place post their art, mainly by going through their post history
Or when my friend draws her character with broken fingers for a fight scene, she gets accused of using AI because "the fingers don't look right" Yeah, because they're BROKEN!
One time, I was in a room where the walls would project AI art of whatever you typed into a small device, someone in there with me decided to type “Family love” the results were terrifying.
Who thought that was a good idea 💀 Like it’s definitely gonna show some weird stuff, I hope there weren’t children there Especially if the prompt involves “love”
WAIT WHAT THE HECK I WATCHED SOMEONE PLAYING A HORROR GAME AND THIS COMMENT BLEW UP- I was about to walk away until I got a notification and decided to check. Anywho- the results were just people for the most part, like if you were far away you would mistake it for a normal photo, except, I wasn’t far away. Basically all but one of them were people (there were 7 frames with different images) except one, which was the least horrifying one. (It was like a heart with the words “love family love” written on it,) long story short all the other art were huge families, each one more disturbing than the last, I can get into specifics if you really want me to.
I find the term "AI artist" to be quite generous, they're more like "brat who bashes face against keyboard" to me. But hey, at least they're using their head for something, right?
@@londonraptor-859 I'd say it's like if the librarian decides to rip pages out of books, fed it to a device that chomps it up and barfs it out as some Lovecraftian monstrosity.
@@londonraptor-859 so what? Everyone knows AI steals. By using AI, you're endorsing and supporting it. And several, if not most, people who use AI use it with the intent of claiming it's theirs when it's not.
@@londonraptor-859 you can use AI generators for inspiration or just to goof around and all, just don't profit off of it, claim it as yours, or call it actual art. And etc
I honestly think AI is very annoying and dangerous to be available for anyone to use, and in this case I'm sure I've seen that a lot of AI art has parts taken from other people's art but you never know where, I've also asked questions and for written things and the AI mixed information about fictional characters that certainly are on the internet. And of course, that thing with the voices sure is creepy...
The voices is a huge problem, there's even ads saying you should never hire a voice actor again.. And that's LITERALLY just a set of people's voices that it uses, so imagine not being able to get a job because YOUR VOICE is already being used with no credit, compensation, or permission from/for you. It's honestly disgusting, not to mention that lots of AI supporters I've spoken to don't even see an issue with deepfakes or people's actual faces being used to generate NSFW content. It's an ever bigger issue than what artists are pushing, honestly.
@@huglife626if the same people promoting this stuff see no moral or ethical issues with deepfake AI p0rn that should be the warning every sane person would ever need to know this stuff should either be heavily regulated or just outright removed from society
@@huglife626I feel like, if an actor's voice has been copied by AI for something that generates a profit, they should get paid anyway. As a law. AI stuff can be funny or useful for memes/placeholders, but using it legitimately for a profit is disgusting.
@@fennwenn3317yes, this especially! It’s really awful how they’ve been starting to create fake voicemails to scam/fool people, I can see older folks falling for this especially as well, and it’s just horrible.
I have a story: My friend started to use AI art and CLAIMED IT AS THEIR OWN and I FELL FOR IT. I now hate her for it, she could have asked me to draw it but, NO! She can't wait for art made by an actual artist! I told her it looked nice and had amazing rendering (I use cel shading and if I tried to do anything else I'd die) she sent me a bunch more and I started to wonder how she drew so fast. Also, this wasn't the cute animal art, it was AI generated versions OF THE CHARACTERS I CREATED I asked her if it was AI and she said "No." I told my other friend who I trust better, and she said "It's Definitely AI." She asked her and guess what I was told by her: "It was made by bing." So... 1) The friend who had the AI art in the first place didn't tell me to my face, I'm literally the artist in the friend group. 2) She lied to me, and also used my OCs as bases. I'm so pissed.
@@idkhonestlyy Yea I basically did that Small issue: So this is a whole other thing. She is obsessive and threatens me with her unaliving herself if I leave her. I will not go further because I don't want to get too personal.
@@SolarenForgersA friend who threatens you with unaliving themselves if you leave is NOT your friend. That's straight up manipulative blackmailing. I'm pretty sure they actually wouldn't go through it but I think having a friend like that is legit dangerous.
I've been getting little chibi models, pixel art, and really gorgeous scenery pieces and it always rips at my heart when people say in the comments 'it's ai' Like the fact u have to zoom into the hands to check if it's actually ai is so disheartening because I can't just enjoy people's creations Edit: I found a string of character design SHEETS from ai and they're really nice designs. The pinterest's commenters have collectively decided that "ai designs = designs up for grabs" I love the uno reverse
It’s the same thing with ai generated fashion and I ADORE that artists have collectively just gone `it’s free real estate` and just thefted the theft. One of the only good things to come out of these ai generated images
I actually had a mental breakdown over AI art once. I was sad, I felt like I was worthless, it had been ages since I managed to draw something and I remember being so unhappy with my art because it never looked like I wanted it to. So seeing AI take over my feed and look better and better really made me so so depressed. Brought it to my therapist and she said, "if you can't beat them, join them" 😢
It occurs to me it might still be useful the apply those protective filters to photos of your pieces when you post them online. (I sure hope that the photos of my handmade art have not been scraped to provide texture to some AI monstrosity....)
Unfortunately if you post that art online it most likely isn't safe from AI art neither as it simply collects any form of art in general, physical or digital :(
@@offbrandbiscuit If you think for a second that people won’t get ai to constantly churn that shit out too you’re severely naive. It’s degenerates all the way down.
@@offbrandbiscuitI'd argue against that mindset. Vore and inflation may be bizarre kinks to those that arent into it, but the shitty mspaint doodles of them will forever have more artistic integrity than ai art
Hi lavender! I'm a Spanish illustrator and sadly here, even our government uses AI to do health campaigns, posters to promote the usage of public transport and even anti-bullying ads (very ironic considering that there was already a case of teenagers using AI to deepfake female classmates into hardcore p*rn). My boyfriend that works in the videogame industry was asked to use midjourney to generate portraits (he profusely refused and did them instead) but in the sound department they used some AI voice acting. I hope that AI will be regulated, too much harm can be done in the community.
that’s weird since spain is in the EU. hopefully with the new regulations things will be better??? although it seemed more geared towards protecting consumers than creators. both are necessary, but yeah.
@@clairdeloona I really hope that with the new regulations in place at least the bullying part will be prosecuted and penalized (I really believed that the creators of the tool should be also penalized) but in the design and art part, companies and the government are too comfortable in my opinion with the usage of this kind of "tools". Also the regulations only protect if the AI was made in the EU, most of the AI programs were made in USA soil so idk who will protect EU illustrators since the harm it's already done (they already used all the scrapped data from all over the world) I just wish that our local government really looked up the ethics and the harm that they are causing to artists and designers. Also Meta (aka Instagram, Facebook, threads...) It's developing an AI with all the photos and pictures that the people upload to the platform (even retroactively), it's gross that photos of deceased persons and children will be used to create pictures and that us artists will need to use another app if we want to showcase our art (at this point everything we uploaded is already scrapped and fed to the machine)
Hola, soy de Andalucía y en mi ciudad hay una parada con una imagen de la ciudad que ha sido obviamente sacada de una IA. Me sorprende porque lo único que hay que hacer para lograr una foto igual real es subirse a la Alcazaba con una cámara medio buena. No puedo con tanta vagancia extrema, de verdad
Y con el arte corporativo Memphis puede ser aún peor. En mi comunidad hay un montón de anuncios con ese tipo de ilustraciones, que son muy fáciles de hacer y más por IA. Uf...
El concurso para el cartel de Navidad de mi pueblo lo ganó alguien que había usado IA descaradamente. Al menos uno de los jueces era un tío de la universidad de bellas artes 🤦. Es desesperante, en serio.
I don't like it when ai generated images are called art. No matter how good the technology gets, it will never ever be art. Slight edit. The reason I say it will never be art is not because I'm insecure about my skill level. I know I likely won't be as good as the ai programs because they can churn out art in seconds. I don't consider them to be art because art is an inherently human and intelligent thing. It takes emotion, it takes time, and it takes work. Ai has none of those. The technical program can improve as much as it likes, but it will never be able to capture the feelings art made by people does.
I agree that AI probably won’t be able to replace people for a long time, if ever, but I’m honestly more surprised by the Alexandrias Genesis mention. Haven’t heard anyone talk about that weirdness in forever. Pretty sure it also supposedly made you immune to all diseases and live to 150 years old, kind of insane anyone believed it.
To be fair it was probably younger users and people hopeful for something to make them unique. Not to mention the internet was still kinda young, and Tumblr seemed to be full of made up tales. Definitely reliant on beautiful purple eyes, hairless legs, and so on
oh, I fuckin *wish* that existed- just for the hairless bit. trans girl's dream right there! (I mean, I know hair does protect you from stuff, but.. still, yuck)
It's funny because the first time I heard about it wasn't on the internet, but in real life in a wax museum. The tour guide was telling us about the history behind the people made into wax figures until we get to Elizabeth Taylor, then he told us about how she had this "rare condition called Alexandria's genesis". Oh boy little did I know that fake condition was taken from a Daria fanfiction that went too far lol.
I was at a trampoline park once with my friends and we were looking at the wall beside the entrance because we were bored, and there was an ad for something (I don't remember it very well, sorry) and it had a baby playing the guitar on it. My artist senses went off and I said "Dude, that looks like AI" and I look closer, lo and behold, it has seven fingers.
There are a lot of "drawings/paintings" on Pintrest of very detailed dresses and outfits that MIMIC REAL ART. There will be smaller "references" to the side of the main drawing, pretend notes on the side! It's crazy. A good way to tell if something is ai, especially with the fake outfits is checking the line quality and whether some parts just repeat, if there are more detailed parts of the outfit chances are they are just multicolored blobs. The small references to the side also won't match the outfit. It also just doesn't look real, lines go weird places, things are very fake. Let me know if anyone else sees the same ai "art"!
Another way to tell with the dresses is if the writing near the smaller detail reference things is literally just scribbles. Bunch a little lines sorta blending together
I hate that there's so many of the semi-realistic anime portraits because now I hesitate when I see art from someone who actually specialises in that style.
my friend is running a dnd campain and i think he has an ai generator that makes portraits based on the names of the npc's in the game. I noticed that they all look like high school characters in school uniforms, they are all elves even when they are not, the gnome character looks like an 8 year old but the most glaring issues are with the hair and the glasses. some characters have two sets of eye brows and hair coming out of places it shouldn't and the glasses just warp reality. it makes me want to give all of my drawings glasses and put elaborate things in their hair that will just fuck up anything generated by ai using anything i make.
Corporations: "No, we must have international copyright law to protect small creators from exploitation. Your free Pokemon fangame is stealing other people's work!"

I got DeviantArt just before the AI epidemic. It was really cool seeing all the cool art and sharing my own. But now, I scroll my feed and almost ALL of it is AI and it's so depressing honestly. I shouldn't be getting excited to see real person art on a website that was originally just for real people to share their art.
HONESTLY bro
I just got it and was... disappointed. I heard it used to be awesome, but It's a shame I wasn't around to see it.
That's why I steal the Ai images, what are they gonna do, tell me that I'm wrong for stealing other people's "art'?
There's a setting that allows you to turn off seeing AI art! Of course it doesn't catch everything but yeah. I see what you are trying to say though

a couple other troupes I see in ai "art": melty jewelry that looks highly detailed upon a glance but is basically metal globs of spaghetti splattered around the image. Same goes for lacey details and it will never be symmetrical. Another troupe is flyaway hairs that are attached to nothing or make no sense which makes it look like the person is shedding. Lastly, I see a ton of bootleg Sailor Moon art, variants include: wrong colored hair, outfits that are half Sailor Moon's battle outfit half casual wear, including cats that are distinctly NOT Luna, Artemis, or Diana, and many others.
Don't forget about this trope: absolutely unrealistic, whimsical, magical furniture.
I once saw on Pinterest a picture of some kind of bed/chair thing that had a golden frame in the shape of a crescent moon. In said golden frame was a pattern made of stars. That floated. There was no glass or transparent material, nothing to hold the stars, it was so, so, SO obvious.
Yet, people kept asking in the comments where they could buy said furniture. I simply posted a comment saying something like "It's scary that people don't see it's AI, it's so obvious it hurts", and I got a reply telling me it was easy to get fooled, because this chair thingy could exist!
hey thats how i draw jewerly 😿😿
No fuking way😭@@empty-voiid
@@outlawsyl Yes, but with real art there will be actual thought and purpose put into the jewelry even if the artist merely drew a blob and rendered it. With ai, there is no rhyme or reason to the shape whatsoever.
eyes are often very melty and inconsistent in details
the most common version of AI art ive seen is hyperrealism, but with really unnatural lighting and ambience. like a strong blue light coming from behind the characters when the background shows a warm light, or snow appearing inside the house.
That's made by Bing AI that has a wildly overzealous censorship on 2 levels: the prompt itself before generating is filtered for inflammatory phrases and keywords and then another after generating, scanning for anything that could be erotic or racist or whatever, with a huge margin of false positives just to be on the safe side. The weird colours you mentioned is a common trick to confuse the 2nd stage censorship for the filter to not notice humans, asking for weird colours is a standard practice to minimise the risk of the dreaded doggening. The snow thing is just that the AI is not aware, so it does not UNDERSTAND the prompt or the image it creates, it's just statistical data it learnt and uses to generate visuals that statistically are associated with each other. So if it generates a mountain cottage in winter, it will likely lack some walls or won't know if the snow or the moon should be indoors or in the window, etc...
For the cute animal one, my grandma & mom saw this christmas tree made of cats on facebook & sent it to me just saying "oh look at this it's so cute", looking closely it's ai generated as their faces are all kinda deformed and some of them merged together
Omg same… I was absolutely horrified when my aunt told me how much she paid for a creative fabrica subscription; of course not all content on there is AI, but lately I’ve seen a concerningly large amount of it there…
I think this is one reason AI “art” is getting away with it, because people who aren’t educated on it don’t know it’s generated :(
Honestly the cute animal thing being not real has been a thing for a while like often the cats on some cat food boxes are often just relisticly painted animals or edited photos
i keep getting these ads with what looks like a bunch of conventionally attractive women with text that says something like “you can generate nsfw images of you ai girlfriend!!” and it’s honestly kind of funny, but also kind of sad

@@Froggycolouringhey i've seen you in the teto territory comments!!
@@telosnium Hi!
So recently i entered into an art contest at school in the digital art section. Some friends of mine said they heard people call it ai art. 😭 im honestly flattered but also offended.
That reminded me in my school there was a contest in stem class for making “mission patches” inspired by the nasa ones that they would then buy and make for the class, and the winning entry was so clearly ai(also the one the patch company responded with because obviously ai does hype realistic stuff which can’t be made on a pin was drawn by a real artist at least but it looked super bad)
me and my friend were both super mad because we had put lots of effort into ours and hers looked really good, especially compared to the winner who didn’t even try since it was just an inserted image that was clearly ai generated :(
@@Froggycolouring oof that's really annoying 😭 I wish people would take more time to learn how to find ai art.
the way your first drawing is 100% perfectly a description of the ai "art" that disgraced sword-youtuber shadiversity tried to boast about being so deep and good bc he had to use SEVERAL different prompts in the ai program wow! the final product of his "art" was a dark haired anime girl with pigtails in school uniform, holding a sword and slicing through a...dinosaurs?? neck in a pose that makes me spine and neck hurt just looking at it...look it up its extremely funny how bad it looks and how proud of it he is
MIdjourney is now getting hit with a lawsuit for using thousands of unconsenting artists for their database!! One of the things that Midjourney was using to justify themselves was something along the lines that "it is very difficult to tell what artists' artwork is being used so therefore we cannot be held responsible for copyright" or something like that, so the evidence proves they were lying about it. Unfortunately, many people have identified that some of the artists they are stealing from are already deceased, but hopefully they will get justice.
Going through some extremely hard stuff right now but getting a notification from you has instantly made me feel a little better (it always does). Thank you, Haley.
hoping for the best for you, stranger.
@@missflorathewriter9014 That is very kind of you, thank you so much. I appreciate it. ❤
One of the things I struggle with as an artist is hands and mine almost always end up backwards, or having two left hands. Seeing all this AI "art" made me worry that my backwards hands I seem to never notice until someone else points it out would get my art claimed as AI generated.
So now I end up paranoid about my art and my wonky, fucked up and backwards hands that my family and friends joke about, saying it's part of my "style", lol.
Fun fact: "hand" is only one letter away from "hard".
I just thought of this and, OMG, it's so true. I hope it helps that I have trouble with drawing all five fingers (I default to four) and I used to struggle with backwards facing hands too :/
@@TallestShrublet Too true! I'm lucky if I can get three fingers and a thumb, and they still end up backwards! XD
if you need some tips, try putting yourself in the pose the characters making before drawing the hands!! I had a really big problem with backwards hands too but this mostly fixed it for me :]
0:12 "Johnathan, bring out the deal arm, we've agreed to the contract!"
The thing is AI images are a great starting point for figuring out what how you want to dtaw something, but it most definitely is not something you should call a finished product.
Also remember NFT's? This is NFT's 2.0, and techbros be seething.
3:26 I just noticed, she has 6 fingers on her left hand, and that kinda adds to the whole AI "art" vibe
I used to love scrolling google images for other peoples' art or cosplay for inspiration for stories or characters or worlds... tried it recently and it was almost impossible to find actual images that weren't ai generated and/or nightmare fuel...
i see a lot of ai art is super “smooth” like idk what it is but the lighting like has no cell shading which is fine but overall just super smooth
I tried to follow a few ai artist in instagram, and what I always felt following ai artists (artists or instagram accounts etc that dedicate exclusively to ai art) is that I feel like I'm following a promo account for midjoruney (or dall-e or whatever), and does not feel like I'm actually following an artist/person. Don't know if this will change in the future, but for now that's how I feel
These accounts are asset garbage dumps. It's like following someone that uploads unedited stock images. You know they are stock images, but you just don't know the source. The uploader is completely detached from the content they provide, so it's completely irrelevant who they are. They could just as well be a bot.
About the too cute animals : i recently created a new instagram account and on the brand new "for you page" EVERYTHING was just the atrocious fake pictures of cats
I put a picture of myself and my dog into an Ai art app with no prompts and it merged the pictures, it was basically an anime character mixed with a dog but with really broken limbs, like, video game ragdoll limbs when they get stretched too far
I have this bookmark that I got for free when I bought a bunch of books, and it's so clearly ai I actually find it kind of funny- It's supposed to be a butterlfy but it looks SO cursed. it has three antennas (one of them if just floating in the air), only one wing, and the most messed up looking legs. It's like one big leg that's not even connected to the body with really long hair looking things coming out of it. Also the flowers around it are literally blending into eachother 😭😭
I think one of the wackiest categories is Stable Diffusion. Usually I see this used to paint a medieval village, but they've plugged in a pattern that the painting follows, like a checker board, a spiral, or straight up text. Up close, it looks like an old-timey town, but from a distance, for example, you can see a cool pattern, or the words TWO TRUCKS.
The problem with AI art (and AI in a lot of other areas) is that is taking away entry point jobs. The kind of jobs that helps young fresh-out-of-college people to learn more about how _the industries_ they want to be a part of work. Without them it gets harder for a lot people to get a" foot in the door" of those industries, with also has the side-effect of increasing nepotism in said industries, because with less new people "entering" throught the entry level jobs the only way to get young talent is by bringing in the children of the people already inside. I know internships and grunt work are awful, but 90% of the people now working on industries like animation and advertizing wouldn't had get as far as they got if they had to be freelancers since the begining of their carreers
I see a LOT of AI art on Pinterest now, and you can usually tell just because theres a million different images that seem to be generated in the same session by the same keywords lol. Which it is kind of interesting to see how many different variations of a concept the ai can generate. I think there is something to that to aid in actual creativity and character design perhaps. But nothing is really going to compare to art actually made by a human being.
3:24 this is just how i drew when i was in 4th grade 😭 Tiny ahh waist, bazokas, eyes bigger than the sun and strangest poses and hands
I get why people don’t vibe with blank expressions, but I honestly love how understated they are. It feels like you’ve caught the character lost in their thoughts, and you don’t have a clear signal what those thoughts were about, so you start _wondering._ Scanning their face for little tells.
Big expressions and small ones are both valuable.
Also AI art is plagiarism. Keep fighting the good fight.
You know what would be fun? If that seemingly blank expression was painted by an actual artist who could actually hide little tells or hints to make you ponder. When it's made by an AI there's no intent behind it so there's nothing to actually think about. You and I both know that with AI art the expression is blank because 1. AI isn't that good at facial expressions 2. An emotionless face more attractive to whatever basement dwelling neckbeard with no real skill who wrote that prompt.
@@phoney2627 100% agreed, AI images are plagiarism.
a content creator hired someone to do a poster for a project they spent a while on and the person they hired made the poster out of ai. the content creator fired the person as soon as it was pointed out iirc
0:59 alot of the Ai "artist" have some...comcerning taste in woman and relationships, at least from my experience interacting with them.
7:32 reminds me of the time i discovered my local mall uses an ai "art" image of a hamster/mouse in their ads🫠🫠🫠🫠
sometimes im happy i didnt have ai as a kid, because i might have gotten lost in being able to generate images and ocs... thankfully i drew badly and unapologetically like a real man
Ai art, which I think people hate way too much, is never going to replace artist.
I've been asking for lavendertowne to draw tanks of war as human characters for over 200 days (a surprising amount of stuff has happened within that short span of time) and sometimes I try to have AI draw tanks as people, but ai will never be able to do such a wacky thing. Ai can't understand wacky things like that.
Yet a human can understand such a wacky thing. Humans can understand things millions of times better than AI.
Stop the hate of ai please, it's not replacing anything, and please for the love of all things, don't hate on me for having a different opinion about AI than most people. Far too many people hate me for having a different opinion.
I miss when AI "art" looked uncanny and clearly computer made, because I saw an analog horror that used this to it's advantage, and it made it look really creepy and uncanny and was used amazingly. But now, we can't have that anymore because it's gotta look perfect or something.
The analog horror is called Liminal Land, by the way. It's really good
the thing is that your drawings of these AI horrors just immediately have more character and charm than the AI images that inspired them. The act of actually *drawing* them makes them better
also the owl in the background of the ~iMagINaTivE!~ piece is adorable I love him
On an app called Pixilart someone followed me so I checked their account, like 6 months ago they posted like 5 AI images and the whole desc of each of them was "THIS IMAGE BELONGS TO ME AND I DO NOT WANT IT STOLEN" and in only like 2 of them they actually said it was ai. Like girly that's not your's 😂
Damn, that first example went right for Shadiversity's throat. 😂
AI stuff was more fun when it was a small niche among some hobbyist programmers.
Also I must say I like your art and commentary.
I think what sucks about ai ¨art¨ is that all thoes people think of art in the lense of money making and efficiency. They can't understand actually having fun creating something new and having something that's yours and that you worked hard to get
I tried running some ideas through the anime style on with the AI art generator apps and it became a really distorted movie poster. I also tried to run a few of my Digital arts through it and it turned out very simplistic and cartoon ey. my art is cartoon but I ran it through an anime filter and expected something else
Putting "art" in quotes is very real.
I like how they have six fingers. I love the detail
You forgot the uncomfortable fetish AI art and the Fruit Animal ai art
there is no such thing as AI ,,art" or AI ,,artist". It's like calling yourself a solider because you play CSgo or calling yourself a driver because you played Need For Speed
People: AI ART IS GONNA STEAL OUR JOBS!
AI art: 👀👀👄👁
I've seen people on some art websites _selling_ AI generated adopts for ridiculous amounts of real money. Like, they edited it slightly and said "Give me $70."
Honestly, ai is the reason i dont really do digital anymore.
I've been refusing to use ai art since the beginning, but one day, my male friend almost forced me and my other friend to do spider sonas with ai, that other friend is skinny and has long hair so she really had no problems getting the ai to do something similar to her, but me and my male friend are chubby, the ai keep turning him into some type of Steven universe and keep turning me Asian because apparently chubby+short hair=asian
Another way to find AI photos of women is when the skin looks like plastic. Like, even when a human editor uses photoshot, they know to leave a bit of texture in. But with AI, the images are soo smooth, it looks more like plastic than skin.
Fortunately the AI is starting to use AI generated images to "learn" so that brings the quality down overall. In a few years AI will be unusable because of that.
2:52 is that a certain medieval swordtuber reference?
Hey there! I had a little art question that I was curious if you could help me with. I love drawing characters but I always end up making their color pallets the same. I’m always drawn to blacks and grays for clothes. Any tips on how to fix this?

The first one is just shadiversity's renders lmao
“AI schoolgirl OC” and it’s literally Shadiversity’s crappy OC
1:37 the fact the drawing has 6 fingers makes it that much better
i hate AI art sm 😭 the whole point of art is creativity and something human and genuine that we’ve made ourselves, so AI is just taking that and ripping out all the soul and humanity from it, which is literally the whole point.
another one i keep seeing fall into the facebook sphere is ai generated 'leego sets'
Most -"AI artists"- only care about the profit, so they usually forget to check the quality and now it feels like they are creating instant noodles art.
I think art is more so the thinking behind it and less of the image by it's self.
As an artist and someone who currently works in a retail print place, it's been so irritating seeing orders come through that have AI art. I've seen a banner advertising social media, I've seen booklets and "children's books", I've seen a holiday advent calendar activity thing...some of these I sit here and wonder if the customer did the generating themselves, or if someone got scammed and bought a product they thought was hand drawn. I enjoy admiring the actual art that occasionally comes through, so whenever I realize that it might be AI generated, it's so sad.
I’m not for Ai art( I have seen an Ai ad for talking with Ai that stole from the people who made the amazing digital circus, they’re using Jax for their Ad but it doesn’t show on the mainstream stuff but it shows on the small stuff).

Ngl I got major uzumaki (Junji ito) vibes from this one
I was some time ago asked if I use image generators to my work (im a design student, but focusing on illustration and animation) I said that 100% no and i hate that someone acually asked me that! But now that I'm getting used to it existing, I can see that it could be a bit helpful in a concept art sphere! Where you ask your generator to peech you some ideas, and then you create something OF it not like use it mindlessly but use them to create something new. I can imagine that AI could drastically cut half of a time use to do research for inspirations and such
The ones I hate are the bubble underwater ones that are all flat colors, no shading, cute slightly anime girl smiling in a quirky way.

Hi lavendertowne! I just got your book "unfamiliar" abd it is so good! Im on the 2 volume and i absolutely love the characters!!!🩷🖤
Not gonna lie, I miss early AI art that was just SO weird and unmistakably computer-generated that it was surreal.
same, that was ok
It felt like it's own form of art but there's also a vague nostalgia for when those concerns over what would happen were still far away
I honestly miss when AI art was extremely freaky and bordering on Lovecraftian Horror. It was so genuinely fascinating to see the beautiful horrors it could create
Have you seen “dream horses?”

The best AI image I’ve ever seen was that picture with the prompt: “Salmon in a river” and it was literal sushi salmon meat floating in water
only good ai generated “art”
There is this entire genre of image I found on Pinterest where it’s Park Jimin from BTS but he’s like, in other professions or movies and he’s in immense pain
i used a prompt that was "Hutu people" (the hutus are an ethnic group from Rwanda) and it gave me a bunch of greyish brown bald shining little kids with the most anime girl face ever holding a water bucket and i laughed for an hour straight.
I remember learning something like that in philosophy class. I was told that AI still can’t understand things in context like humans can. While a human would hear “salmon in water” and immediately know it’s a living fish, a machine might not and just give an image of salmon meat.
@@ahseymaniaI did the same but with Sámi people (Theyre some indigenous Scandinavians) and I got a girl with a blue dress and a giant bow and anime eyes.

It’s actually quite sad. Ai art has been ripping creativity out of artist’s hands. It’s a shame honestly, and Ai doesn’t deserve to call it “theirs”
Edit: yeah I can see how it”s not ripping creativity out of artist’s hands, but I have seen some Ai art that’d copying artists’ creative ideas, and I just think it’s a shame

They can never truly replicate the actual creativity of artists, that’s why most people hate it since u can tell it’s not genuine.

Making your oc on a dress-up game is way better than condoning art theft.
I mean yeah. That's what the app was made for, ofc it's more ethical than stealing.
Using a product for it's intended purpose > theft
I used gacha before and yea.
Eslecially gacha club because it has much more costomizability, my dumbass vampire oc was more original than anything a flippin software could make
There are some seriously cool dress up games out there tho too! As an artist I find it to be be really inspiring to play around with dress up games as a way to get my creativity flowing.
Okay, to be honest, I've actually used my Gacha Club creations as a reference for some of my OCs or book characters 😳
I loved when ai art sucked ass, because the strange and nonsensical nature of it was fantastic for giving me inspiration and ideas and color pallets. Now it's too good, it doesn't just give me something to build off of, it tries to _do_ it for me- and badly. It's becoming less and less useful to me the better it gets.
I agree. To me when AI art was bad It actually had artistic merits, as there was an odd kind of beauty to it.
Exactlyyyy
People are saying that "artists will still have a purpose, because someone needs to fix the AI's mistakes".
No. That's image editing.
It's a completely different skillset and missing all the fun parts of the art making process
@@liljatupsu and there'll be no new art for the ai to copy anyway, so, haha to whoever said that
tbh if you want weird nonsensical surrealism, just use dall-e mini (or whatever theyre calling it now.. craiyon?) bc it puts out rough pixels that someone with an eye for design could truly make something of instead of the polished intentionless finished product
I've seen ai "art" sort of get harder to actually spot as ai, which makes me worried for other artist because 100% real artist will be mistaken for ai "art". I've even seen adoptables of ai and almost thought it was legit
Same I was scrolling Pinterest because I thought splatoon fanart couldn’t be ai since I never see ai splatoon fanart until then and I was like oh cool and I saw in the comments it was apparently ai
I wouldn’t have know it was ai until I looked at the comments, which is scary……..
I’ve also seen some artist be accused to using ai. When the picture was created before ai started to be used for that. Which kind of makes sense since AI is stealing from artists so of coarse it’s going to look like some people’s art styles.
Also doesn't help that some more skilled AI users paint over the errors, making it harder to tell that it's AI. Which is even worse because it means the user has the skills to make good genuine art but just chooses not to
i've already been tricked into buying AI pngs for a stream. there was no disclaimer, and the creator changed the description after i bought it to gaslight me. it was only obvious looking at the details to try and learn from what i thought was "good art" - the bows were a mess, the outer lines were all wrong..
there are now several sites you can run images through to detect stablediffusion, midjourney, etc. use them well, and Glaze your own art.
On a somewhat similar note, the widely known eccentricities of AI "art" can also potentially be harmful to artists who are experimenting with more bizarre features in their work. For example, one of my most complex creature designs is directly based on Happy Meat Farms and having said that, I'm sure you can probably guess how fucked up his appearance is. Given how difficult he was to draw and how many times I had to tweak the design, I can't imagine how gut-punched I would feel if people assumed I used AI just because he's got extra fingers and limbs.
Fun fact! AI “art” has started to use ai generated “art” to generate more so we’re getting the habsburg chin of “art”

As an artist who has had experience with ai art I realized it was ai art, I felt horrible, my aunt probably didn’t know the design was ai art, since she had sewn the bag. I don’t know how to tell her it’s an ai generated art piece since I know she put a lot of effort into sewing the bag. It had all the stuff that Haley mentioned, sparkley raindrops, huge eyes, it looked very small and chibi.
I got a pencil case with what I suspect is AI imagery printed on it as well. I still like the gift because I'm sentimental like that, but you just gotta shudder a bit.
@@socialgutbrain7774 that's kinda ironic
A good thing to say for those without hurting someone’s feelings is to explain what AI art is and how to watch for it before hand
Lets agree to not call them artist
Its like calling a kid whose copy pasted 10 fanart/official arts into a mess of an image an artist
Counter-argument: the kid still has comparatively more merit than the AI user
i mean, technically the kid would still be making art, in the form of a collage 🤷
Thats just called photo bashing lmao.
At least the kid made the effort to photoshop and merge all of that.
Heck even tracers have more merit than ai bullshit.
I agree with the idea that at least a kid tracing is making an effort. To emulate a style that speaks to them. A I does not do that
I think the word I'm looking for is "aspiration". A kid feels that. An A I can't
What infuriates me about AI art (that isn't the obvious reasons listed) is that people with a smooth, glossy, air brushy, sort of art style (like the promotional official art for genshin) are being called AI when it's clearly not.
Ooh, I actually fell for that when I saw the Navia Webevent, the art style used in the title image is so reminiscent of AI that the warning bells were setting off in my head even if the details all made sense
People who think that are stupid imo because who thinks of ai so often that to the point where they get paranoid and harass completely normal artists over a “suspicion”? Ridiculous
@@______________url its actually so weird just how much ai u find online. I was trying to find fanart of a character, and found a really cool image, so I went to check the creator out and it’s just ai. so I genuinely have to question what is just really impressive ai ‘art’ and what is created by an actual artist. (I don’t harass artists that I suspect of using ai, I just kinda move on)
I became very suspicious of people with such art styles since AI has taken over a small OC sub I'm a part of, the AI art has been banned from there already, but now I always do a double check when some people I've never seen before in that place post their art, mainly by going through their post history
Or when my friend draws her character with broken fingers for a fight scene, she gets accused of using AI because "the fingers don't look right" Yeah, because they're BROKEN!
One time, I was in a room where the walls would project AI art of whatever you typed into a small device, someone in there with me decided to type “Family love” the results were terrifying.
Who thought that was a good idea 💀
Like it’s definitely gonna show some weird stuff, I hope there weren’t children there
Especially if the prompt involves “love”
What were the results? WHAT WERE THE RESULTS?!
WAIT WHAT THE HECK I WATCHED SOMEONE PLAYING A HORROR GAME AND THIS COMMENT BLEW UP- I was about to walk away until I got a notification and decided to check. Anywho- the results were just people for the most part, like if you were far away you would mistake it for a normal photo, except, I wasn’t far away. Basically all but one of them were people (there were 7 frames with different images) except one, which was the least horrifying one. (It was like a heart with the words “love family love” written on it,) long story short all the other art were huge families, each one more disturbing than the last, I can get into specifics if you really want me to.
@@Froggycolouring Yeah there were children there lol. No idea who put it in, this was like 6 months ago or something like that
😰
I find the term "AI artist" to be quite generous, they're more like "brat who bashes face against keyboard" to me. But hey, at least they're using their head for something, right?
@@londonraptor-859don’t you dare discredit librarians like that
@@londonraptor-859 no, they're more like thiefs. Who steal pieces of other people's creative work and create their own souless amalgamation.
@@londonraptor-859 I'd say it's like if the librarian decides to rip pages out of books, fed it to a device that chomps it up and barfs it out as some Lovecraftian monstrosity.
@@londonraptor-859 so what? Everyone knows AI steals. By using AI, you're endorsing and supporting it. And several, if not most, people who use AI use it with the intent of claiming it's theirs when it's not.
@@londonraptor-859 you can use AI generators for inspiration or just to goof around and all, just don't profit off of it, claim it as yours, or call it actual art. And etc
I honestly think AI is very annoying and dangerous to be available for anyone to use, and in this case I'm sure I've seen that a lot of AI art has parts taken from other people's art but you never know where, I've also asked questions and for written things and the AI mixed information about fictional characters that certainly are on the internet. And of course, that thing with the voices sure is creepy...
The voices is a huge problem, there's even ads saying you should never hire a voice actor again.. And that's LITERALLY just a set of people's voices that it uses, so imagine not being able to get a job because YOUR VOICE is already being used with no credit, compensation, or permission from/for you. It's honestly disgusting, not to mention that lots of AI supporters I've spoken to don't even see an issue with deepfakes or people's actual faces being used to generate NSFW content. It's an ever bigger issue than what artists are pushing, honestly.
@@huglife626if the same people promoting this stuff see no moral or ethical issues with deepfake AI p0rn that should be the warning every sane person would ever need to know this stuff should either be heavily regulated or just outright removed from society
@@huglife626I feel like, if an actor's voice has been copied by AI for something that generates a profit, they should get paid anyway. As a law.
AI stuff can be funny or useful for memes/placeholders, but using it legitimately for a profit is disgusting.
It's become easier for people to pull scams thanks to it, which is pretty sad.
@@fennwenn3317yes, this especially! It’s really awful how they’ve been starting to create fake voicemails to scam/fool people, I can see older folks falling for this especially as well, and it’s just horrible.
I have a story:
My friend started to use AI art and CLAIMED IT AS THEIR OWN and I FELL FOR IT. I now hate her for it, she could have asked me to draw it but, NO! She can't wait for art made by an actual artist!
I told her it looked nice and had amazing rendering (I use cel shading and if I tried to do anything else I'd die) she sent me a bunch more and I started to wonder how she drew so fast.
Also, this wasn't the cute animal art, it was AI generated versions OF THE CHARACTERS I CREATED
I asked her if it was AI and she said "No."
I told my other friend who I trust better, and she said "It's Definitely AI." She asked her and guess what I was told by her: "It was made by bing."
So...
1) The friend who had the AI art in the first place didn't tell me to my face, I'm literally the artist in the friend group.
2) She lied to me, and also used my OCs as bases.
I'm so pissed.
Dud i'd flippin unfriend her😭
At least be too pissed at her to not talk to her for a month gez-
@@idkhonestlyy Yea I basically did that
Small issue:
So this is a whole other thing. She is obsessive and threatens me with her unaliving herself if I leave her. I will not go further because I don't want to get too personal.
Get her ass, get. her. ass.
@@SolarenForgers damn she seems like she got some issues even discounting the fact she stole from u-
@@SolarenForgersA friend who threatens you with unaliving themselves if you leave is NOT your friend. That's straight up manipulative blackmailing. I'm pretty sure they actually wouldn't go through it but I think having a friend like that is legit dangerous.
I've been getting little chibi models, pixel art, and really gorgeous scenery pieces and it always rips at my heart when people say in the comments 'it's ai'
Like the fact u have to zoom into the hands to check if it's actually ai is so disheartening because I can't just enjoy people's creations
Edit: I found a string of character design SHEETS from ai and they're really nice designs. The pinterest's commenters have collectively decided that "ai designs = designs up for grabs" I love the uno reverse
Do you have a link to the pin because I would love to steal and rework a computers art
I mean, yeah, ai designs are up for grabs because they can't legally be copyrighted
It’s the same thing with ai generated fashion and I ADORE that artists have collectively just gone `it’s free real estate` and just thefted the theft. One of the only good things to come out of these ai generated images
@@ladybugfurbythere r a lot of clothing designs generated by ai, lemme quickly go find the titles of the pics
ABSOLUTELY! When AI adoptables get discovered as AI!? They're up for grabs! Anyone can yoink em! You cant copyright AI art.
The most depressing part of A.I “art” is the CP. Since there are no real kids in the pictures the legal grounds surrounding it are shaky
WHAT!!!!?!??!?!??! THAT'S A FUCKING THING!!!!!
It's so scary being an artist with all the ai stuff nowadays. Thank you for this video 🫶
Ai is a gay lie
I actually had a mental breakdown over AI art once. I was sad, I felt like I was worthless, it had been ages since I managed to draw something and I remember being so unhappy with my art because it never looked like I wanted it to. So seeing AI take over my feed and look better and better really made me so so depressed. Brought it to my therapist and she said, "if you can't beat them, join them" 😢
@@Naruneyl "if you can't beat them, join them" that is real shitty advice.
I'm sorry that this happened.
"Sexy lady, naked" actually killed me man 😭
LavanderTowne: Here are some ways you can protect your art from being stolen by ai:
Me: Oh sweet! ...Wait a minute I do traditional art-
Drones are gonna fly in and take pictures of your work.
No one is safe!
@@icephoenix174 Then i'll just have to duct-tape my windows.
Same 😭 mostly cause I am awful at digital art lol
It occurs to me it might still be useful the apply those protective filters to photos of your pieces when you post them online. (I sure hope that the photos of my handmade art have not been scraped to provide texture to some AI monstrosity....)
Unfortunately if you post that art online it most likely isn't safe from AI art neither as it simply collects any form of art in general, physical or digital :(
I hate hopping on DA and seeing people trying to sell AI generated images
I'll take that over the vore and inflation crap that humans draw all the time on that site tbh 🤣
@@offbrandbiscuiti’d take lazy over disgusting and depraved 10 times out of 10
@@offbrandbiscuit If you think for a second that people won’t get ai to constantly churn that shit out too you’re severely naive. It’s degenerates all the way down.
Just screenshot it like an NFT
@@offbrandbiscuitI'd argue against that mindset. Vore and inflation may be bizarre kinks to those that arent into it, but the shitty mspaint doodles of them will forever have more artistic integrity than ai art
Whenever i see someone using ai art and claiming that they’re an “artist”, it pisses me off.
Hi lavender! I'm a Spanish illustrator and sadly here, even our government uses AI to do health campaigns, posters to promote the usage of public transport and even anti-bullying ads (very ironic considering that there was already a case of teenagers using AI to deepfake female classmates into hardcore p*rn). My boyfriend that works in the videogame industry was asked to use midjourney to generate portraits (he profusely refused and did them instead) but in the sound department they used some AI voice acting. I hope that AI will be regulated, too much harm can be done in the community.
that’s weird since spain is in the EU. hopefully with the new regulations things will be better??? although it seemed more geared towards protecting consumers than creators. both are necessary, but yeah.
@@clairdeloona I really hope that with the new regulations in place at least the bullying part will be prosecuted and penalized (I really believed that the creators of the tool should be also penalized) but in the design and art part, companies and the government are too comfortable in my opinion with the usage of this kind of "tools". Also the regulations only protect if the AI was made in the EU, most of the AI programs were made in USA soil so idk who will protect EU illustrators since the harm it's already done (they already used all the scrapped data from all over the world) I just wish that our local government really looked up the ethics and the harm that they are causing to artists and designers.
Also Meta (aka Instagram, Facebook, threads...) It's developing an AI with all the photos and pictures that the people upload to the platform (even retroactively), it's gross that photos of deceased persons and children will be used to create pictures and that us artists will need to use another app if we want to showcase our art (at this point everything we uploaded is already scrapped and fed to the machine)
Hola, soy de Andalucía y en mi ciudad hay una parada con una imagen de la ciudad que ha sido obviamente sacada de una IA. Me sorprende porque lo único que hay que hacer para lograr una foto igual real es subirse a la Alcazaba con una cámara medio buena. No puedo con tanta vagancia extrema, de verdad
Y con el arte corporativo Memphis puede ser aún peor. En mi comunidad hay un montón de anuncios con ese tipo de ilustraciones, que son muy fáciles de hacer y más por IA. Uf...
El concurso para el cartel de Navidad de mi pueblo lo ganó alguien que había usado IA descaradamente. Al menos uno de los jueces era un tío de la universidad de bellas artes 🤦. Es desesperante, en serio.
I’ve seen artists be accused of using AI for drawings they’ve done and it’s crazy that this is where we’re going 😢
I don't like it when ai generated images are called art. No matter how good the technology gets, it will never ever be art.
Slight edit.
The reason I say it will never be art is not because I'm insecure about my skill level. I know I likely won't be as good as the ai programs because they can churn out art in seconds. I don't consider them to be art because art is an inherently human and intelligent thing. It takes emotion, it takes time, and it takes work. Ai has none of those. The technical program can improve as much as it likes, but it will never be able to capture the feelings art made by people does.
well, art is subjective
Your human insecurity is showing
@@cherricake1796 maybe, but I consider it to be less of an insecurity and more of a frustration.
@@cherricake1796you say that like you’re not a human yourself, if you’re just a piece of technology I’mma guess they made you into a projector
no~ ai isn't real art~
@@Kat-qf7ov
AI art scares me💀
Same - that stuff can be weird and _something_ all right.
It amazes me tbh
it’s so uncanny and usually weirdly rendered i hate it
same it’s big uncanny valley for me, especially with the deformed faces sometimes and weird anatomy
I agree that AI probably won’t be able to replace people for a long time, if ever, but I’m honestly more surprised by the Alexandrias Genesis mention. Haven’t heard anyone talk about that weirdness in forever. Pretty sure it also supposedly made you immune to all diseases and live to 150 years old, kind of insane anyone believed it.
To be fair it was probably younger users and people hopeful for something to make them unique. Not to mention the internet was still kinda young, and Tumblr seemed to be full of made up tales.
Definitely reliant on beautiful purple eyes, hairless legs, and so on
oh, I fuckin *wish* that existed- just for the hairless bit. trans girl's dream right there!
(I mean, I know hair does protect you from stuff, but.. still, yuck)
@@janTesika Created by transfem Daria fanfiction author Cameron Aubernon/Stefanie Acela for her OCs, no less!
It's funny because the first time I heard about it wasn't on the internet, but in real life in a wax museum. The tour guide was telling us about the history behind the people made into wax figures until we get to Elizabeth Taylor, then he told us about how she had this "rare condition called Alexandria's genesis". Oh boy little did I know that fake condition was taken from a Daria fanfiction that went too far lol.
The half angel half demon oc we all made at 11 years old comment is a little too accurate 😅😂
Same. I was visiting parent's house and I found a half-demon half-wolf ice cream oc I made when I was 9 😭
SO here for the shad-shade. That whole deal is just.... wild. She looks so wonky in every image that he's like "Look how amazing and accurate it is!!"
I was at a trampoline park once with my friends and we were looking at the wall beside the entrance because we were bored, and there was an ad for something (I don't remember it very well, sorry) and it had a baby playing the guitar on it. My artist senses went off and I said "Dude, that looks like AI" and I look closer, lo and behold, it has seven fingers.
Ive started seeing ai ads where everything is generated. Its so obvious and if I wasn’t so disappointed by its existence id think it was funny
There are a lot of "drawings/paintings" on Pintrest of very detailed dresses and outfits that MIMIC REAL ART. There will be smaller "references" to the side of the main drawing, pretend notes on the side! It's crazy. A good way to tell if something is ai, especially with the fake outfits is checking the line quality and whether some parts just repeat, if there are more detailed parts of the outfit chances are they are just multicolored blobs. The small references to the side also won't match the outfit. It also just doesn't look real, lines go weird places, things are very fake. Let me know if anyone else sees the same ai "art"!
THIS. I HAVE BEEN *BOMBARDED* BY THESE IMAGES.
Another way to tell with the dresses is if the writing near the smaller detail reference things is literally just scribbles. Bunch a little lines sorta blending together
the part where you say “sexy lady naked” is so funny to me and i don’t know why 😭😭
I hate that there's so many of the semi-realistic anime portraits because now I hesitate when I see art from someone who actually specialises in that style.
my friend is running a dnd campain and i think he has an ai generator that makes portraits based on the names of the npc's in the game. I noticed that they all look like high school characters in school uniforms, they are all elves even when they are not, the gnome character looks like an 8 year old but the most glaring issues are with the hair and the glasses. some characters have two sets of eye brows and hair coming out of places it shouldn't and the glasses just warp reality. it makes me want to give all of my drawings glasses and put elaborate things in their hair that will just fuck up anything generated by ai using anything i make.
