Generative AI kinda feels like going to the lengh of buying a brand new piano only to press the "demo" button to play a little tune and proceeding to call yourself a pianist... wth
My company thought they could replace me with ai so I quit during a huge project, I was the team lead, and had advanced knowledge on all the tools. They ended up losing a massive client because they couldn't deliver the quality they needed, and eventually wanted to hire me back. I increased my salary by 30k and got to negotiate my full contract so I have ownership of all my created works.
Consumers can now sell shits made by AI or no more need real artist work cuz of AI, and cherry on the cake, AI steal artists works from the "internet world". Basically internet or AI arent bad but are always used in wrong ways or for egoists purposes, in my opinion, if we cant give a knife to a 5 years old, we shouldn't leave theses tools free of access on humanity since they proven being 5years old in generality and their insane side is origin of all problems. I know i sound extrem, but im just being realistic.
Some consumers have been mocking artists who've requested that they don't ask for AI art *in their style* because that dataset was scraped off the internet. If the law doesn't get involved, nothing will change.
As an art student seeing all of the AI takeover develop so fast has been extremely overwhelming, this video actually helped me do something about it and protect my art instead of passively seeing it all get worse
Images. Unless AI has become sentient it's producing images not art. As artists we need to change the framing of this problem. Humans make art. Computer programs make images.
That's a good way to put it, but the sad part is the average consumer won't care. That's why AI art discourse and information is almost entirely encapsulated in art community spaces where artists or people who respect artists share a platform. So in the end, the framing or name we give the problem doesn't really fix it when the underlying problem is how disrespected artists are
I certainly agree. I don't even understand the concept of consuming AI generated content as though it has some reason to exist. Of course that won't stop corporations from making money off images, video, or songs generated by AI, and calling it art.
@@mertensiam3384 Lets be honest, the 'average consumer' has no idea what constitutes art anyway. They paid to see 1,400 Marvel films. The real problem I see is that companies don't care if it's partially incoherent, or lower quality, just so long as it's cheaper. And of course if they can eliminate human artists, they can eliminate every other job imaginable.
@@dmwalker24 even some artists themselves have been using gen ai and support it's use if it makes them laugh. And I just look at them thinking "don't they realize that this is training the model? Don't they realize that by using ai to make that one baby with giant shoes, they're training ai to make videos of real babies?" People in general truly don't care about shit if it's cheap or makes them laugh, and it's concerning
couldn't have said it better! us artists really need to start having in confidence in the skills and creativity that we have, even though I know it's easier said than done. imo all these slop generators are the consequence of a society not really appreciating the arts and the cultural value it actually has and it doesn't help when we put ourselves down too in the process.
Like, corporations are obviously going to do whats cheaper but i hope that audiences will continue to spot AI art and critique its use and ethics (or lack thereof) so that it isnt profitable
Normal people don't care. Those who work a full time job but want to do art as well, will turn to ai out of convenience. look at some who call themselves musicians who only use ai to "make" music, they will bang out a number 1 hit in a few hours instead of days. I have been using suno to experiment, but my prompting comes from music theory and feeding ai with lyrics then prompting it to do a blues shuffle in key of B minor a male vocals using chords C D Bm D ect.. gives you what you want eventually. its like when using chord generators or note generators ect.. It helps creating a unique work of art. trying to prompt strumming patterns don't work or at least I haven't found a way to make it work. I guess it will eventually. I have used Logic pro drummer for years in creating music, because i'm not going to pay a drummer, I have experienced putting a band together, its hard work. I would rather be creative in my spare time than trying to figure out a time a band can get together to finish music. I might one day be able to tour and hire temp musicians to play the instruments I need like bass and drums.
The problem is when you cant tell whats art and whats AI created. I want to buy something made by human hand. And i will feel sceptical and questioning all art.
Well people don’t really have a choice in feeding the machines cuz the corps do it regardless. People just have to be vocal abt how much they hate the machine and never accept it as “okay”
And people will still be able to draw. The only issue of all these butthurt artists is that they will lose their easy money from making images... No one will stop them from drawing, but they don't really care about it, just the economic aspect of it.
@@OnigoroshiZeroUh duh... Would you like to work for free? If you work in IT would you like to be fired and go broke because your boss decided that they would prefer an AI to you? Of course you won't be happy even if you enjoy computer stuff. Nobody likes doing stuff for free.
I do voiceovers and it’s so insulting when you make mistakes and people go “I can get cheaper and better from AI” like people don’t naturally breathe or stutter. the imperfections make us human
And that's exactly why I want to hire humans. Their voices' "imperfections" are what I'm looking for. I have to use ElevenLabs for a placeholder in a project I'm doing. As soon as I get money from crowdfunding, I'll replace it with human voice actors. I hate that robotic crap without breathing sounds.
@@Synthesia-ef7hj Yes, imperfections are definitely needed to some degree to create a more organic aesthetic, as opposed to synthetic "perfection" that can come across as ugly. I'm pretty sure he is referring to imperfections that create an organic feel. Consider 2D animation, for example. Even today, 3D animation often struggles to capture the organic quality that 2D animation achieves. From an organic perspective, a purely synthetic aesthetic can appear dull.
@@Synthesia-ef7hj my point was that sometimes people want such crystal clear audio with no hint of accent, which is when hard for most people due to cultural and regional differences. For example, I had a client who would send me AI references for how they thought English words/slang were pronounced, and when I tried to explain that that was an AI and not how the region says it (think Jawn for a Philly based company), they got very defensive of the AI
The shitty thing about Adobe's "clarification" is that they didn't re-update the terms of service. I'm hoping AI-prompted images are just a gimmick and they go away once viewers see that they're kinda trash and the datasets are run dry. Nightshade feels like the better option to combat this because AI is being pushed so, so heavily by shareholders in these companies and businesses. They want people to buy into their AI products as a "solution" to... Really, just not paying artists (like illustrators and photographers). They need to see that artists who don't consent to their works being used without permissions will take action when things like copyright laws and licensing haven't caught up to the digital age. I love the big fuck-you to the data training. We need more legislation. We need businesses to fear their consumers because they really are at the whim of what consumers want and use.
You “hope” viewers will see? You mean the same viewers who pay top price for a piece of cardboard and artery clogging plastic McDonalds calls a burger? You’re delusional if you think anyone can rely on the public.
There are noise removal filters that remove the glaze and nightshade noise. So while it does protect some scrapers it's not enough. We really need to push for laws that protect artists
1. Cancel any Adobe account. 2. Use only Open Code apps like Blender Instead. 3. Replace Adobe apps with non suscription apps like Affinity ones. 4. Take photos of your artwork on your screens devices like she explains. 5. Save your artwork in USB only don't share them in clouds nor social media. This is for interview purposes. 6. Don't fear, AI is only a tool we can defeat, is not the end of Artist. Tradicional Painters for example survives the photography age, digital Art age, and now the web3.0 and AI age also for sure. They are like sharks, sharks survives many extinctions without any change.
AI will be the downfall of Hollywood. The studios want it to cut corners in hope of quick revenue but the audience won't buy into it. This will be the nail in the coffin.
Hollywood has no future either way. By the end of 2025 anyone will be able to just ask an AI model to generate any kind of video he wants, and it will be there waiting for him within a few minutes. I will not pay to watch the garbage they make when I can have an AI generate anything I want to watch.
its scary yeah, i honestly dont now if i should start an animation course like i dreamt of if next year a new ai animator comes out and im wasting years in uni. its sad but what can one do?😊😀
@@yeswoo4452 i literally saw people who just use canva make 6 digits. You can still follow your dreams and earn from it, you just have to be strategic when approaching it.
I don't think AI can ruin art in a sense. What makes art so special is the fact that it can be done by us, humans. You take that away, and really, all there is is a flat superficial image. The art is really in the process that leads to the result, and when a piece of art is completely done by a human, without the use of AI at all, then that inspires and motivates people. AI will never replace that. Artists will always have a career. I believe that 100%. One day people will ask if a piece of art is really done by a human, and in finding out that it was done by a human, people could be even more exhilarated than even now. So in a way, It may do the opposite for us artists, or at least I hope so. The real problem is finding out if a piece of art is really done completely by a human without AI.
I agree, I think too many people value art based on its dollar value, but in reality, art isn't about money. If your only goal is to make money, you would be better off in finance. Art is about sharing your soul with others!
"You take that away, and really, all that remains is a flat superficial image." You see, the problem is that many people just need a "flat superficial image". For example, a comic book writer only needs the illustrations. An advertiser only needs an image with cool VFX of their product. A video game company only needs concept art for the characters. Most people don't care if these AI-generated works lack "soul"; they just want illustrations. If AI can produce them, they will use it.
@@baiwuli6781 I agree to an extent. I really mean that the process is the highlight. I think people can be subconsciously inspired and motivated if they find art amazing that's done by a person entirely. That's me though.
We have a saying in my field and that is, the first 80% progress is 1% of the total amount of work. It's that last 20% that will kill you. Short of a major breakthrough, I doubt AI will replace the fully trained and skilled artists, but it may very well replace those that are in that 80% tier. I look to self driving cars for example. Sure they can handle 80% of situations, but that last 20% is crucial. 20 years ago they were saying cabs/uber drivers would be unemployed within the decade... yet here we are, with self driving cars still ramming telephone poles 20 years later.
Well, I studied programming and artificial intelligence in school. I learned some things in college about cognition, and today I work as a designer. I can contribute to this debate, I guess. Everyone needs to understand that generative AI is not a big industry conspiracy. This is not some evil plan to destroy us all. The history of this technology goes back more than 40 years. It was already suspected, even in the 1990s, that at some point artificial neural networks would become so good that they could completely describe a photograph. It is a scientific matter. The hype happens today because the big industry saw that, in the last years, these algorithms have become so good that they could now exploit them commercially. What can reassure creative professionals about AI is that you need to know what you're doing to produce something useful. This applies to everyone, from translators using AI to architects and illustrators. This part is exemplified in the art director’s comment. It's no use, AI doesn't know what composition, perspective, style, and color are. It is an empty algorithm with no intentionality that mines the data of hundreds of millions of users. This is where the debate about AI gets ugly. This is not about banning AI. This is impossible. It's about making it clear that OpenAI, MidJouney, Google, and many other companies are illegally stealing our data and that we need to do something about it. These companies know this, they know that what they are doing is incorrect or even illegal, but they also know that their business model will be seriously compromised if they don't do it this way. AI is an expensive thing. What will happen when governments regulate this? What will happen when celebrities and artists win their lawsuits? What will happen when pornography generated using the faces of children causes a negative stir in public opinion? Because of that it is already being debated whether this AI hype is economically sustainable. We artists should understand as much as possible how AI works. Yes, AI is useful in many ways. It's just a machine, there's no need to be afraid. However, we must be aware of what billion-dollar companies can do, just as we must show that tech companies cannot do what they want at any cost, or, otherwise, they will start to suffer FINANCIALLY. PS: Review your terms Adobe, I've been missing Gimp a lot lately..
The only way people can be protected by this is an international Bill of Digital Rights. That’s the only way. But I don’t expect that to ever happen given politicians are local, corporations are global, politicians are worth a few million, corporations worth billions or trillions. Hence even if such an effort was to be made, the corporations have all the power in the world to push back on that and destroy it. Why? Well because then anything someone does online belongs to them. You can’t “opt in” or “opt out” without written, signed, notarized contracts. Similarly here. This means that whenever you Google something or are snooping around in Amazon, the digital marks you’re leaving, the labor, belongs to you. Google or Amazon can’t use it. Thus far they have. Whenever someone is browsing for things they’d want to buy they are teaching Amazon’s algorithm to show you what you’d be most likely to buy, in effect making Amazon a profit. Amazon is monetizing the digital labor you put into perfecting their algorithm to predict what you and people like you want. It’s like owning a piece of land and having cement, steel and bricks on it, and inviting people to take a minute to lay a brick on their way to work or wherever. Thousands of people and hours later the collective effort of these people put into this thing freely has created a huge building the owner now had and will monetize, effectively privatizing public labor for nothing! That’s where we’ve been at in regards to the internet for decades. This is just the most obvious case. And lawsuits against the AI companies won’t do squat. We need a Bill of Digital Rights.
Im not really afraid of AI, in fact i think its a really cool technology. What really scares me is the people using it, you go on the internet 99% of them are saying that they aren't stealing but at the same time saying that artist/creative workers arent necessary, so far they just demonstrated a narcicist public image.
I feel like even having AI help you do character turnarounds kind of defeats the purpose of doing one in the first place. I know there are parts of art that are more laborious but that’s why human made art is so impressive. I feel like the real problem is how quickly people are expected to churn out art in order to meet studio demands and deadlines. I wish we could just hire more artists for certain projects , create slowly, and reject generative AI altogether.
I like to think ai will not replace artist since people enjoy human art, my biggest concern is the flooding of content ai is going to create, making it harder and harder for REAL art to pop up.
02:53 I tried to opt out of meta's data scraping, mentioning that I lived in the EU when most of the works on my account were made and posted and so GDPR should apply, but even after going to the effort they replied explicitly that they will not go ahead with the opt-out because they cannot find 'evidence of personal information' in outputs.
It's such bullshit. I 100% doubt that they went through their data sets looking for specific personal information. Can you imagine any other company saying "no you can't opt out because we can't find your information in the data set"? That's fucking terrifying because how do we know they even have the data to begin with? How are they keeping track of a user's data? They're trying to use this stupid loophole that a user needs to have evidence that their data has been used, but without access to the training models and data sets, users can't prove that. It should be enough to say "I don't consent and I would like my data removed from all databases and servers, per GDPR regulation."
How did you phrase your opt out? I wonder if it's about the wording of what you write in the opt out form. I just said that my work that is posted is my own intellectual property and I don't give them permission or consent for it to be used in any way, including in ai training data sets. And that if my request is denied I'll have no choice but to delete all my posts immediately. I got approval right away. I don't know but I'm wondering if maybe they are obliged by law in eu/uk to approve if you most explicitly and bluntly state you don't consent. Otherwise, if you phrase it more like asking, they might use it as an opportunity to evade the point and try to subdue you with nonsense like "well, your personal info isn't found in the data set". Which is complete bullshit btw. So what if it isn't found, I still want to opt out and whether it's found or not is irrelevant. Anyway, I don't know if it has anything to do with the wording, just me speculating. That would also explain why they make you write them a frickin letter instead of just providing an opt out button - to use any possible loophole.
(fellow european) I barely post on my ig, but I still have images that are directly linked to my identity so I didn't even bother to phrase it in a 'professional' or 'polite' way. I never asked for them to data-scrape my account, so why should I be? lolI just said that I was disgusted by the new policy and demanded to be opted out of it. I got a reply within seconds, whether they'll actually follow through on it, idk. But maybe you could try it that way, if you've found no success so far?
think the process of glazing/night shading my previous artwork feels daunting because iv posted so much on my insta and twitter wish they can allow a similar feature to DeviantArt were you can keep a art piece up but update it though the edit tab so you don't have to take it down fully anyways I'm glad to hear a professional's pov on this topic, great work Jackie!
Using these processes on past posted work is likely a fruitless endeavor anyways. If it was already posted in the past it's likely already been scrapped and sitting in a dataset. This really only applies to future works you may post.
@@thatwittyname2578 yeah, ive learned from another video recently that there really isn't a place to hide your art anyways, Cara especially says you cant post AI but someone could still manually take your art from their site to give to their AI
Let’s not forget that FurAffinity had at one point an “Artist” post ai generated furry genitalia every 40 seconds. If art sites, paid or not, are not careful, their entire search gets flooded with garbage. This makes an artist have trouble gaining followers or any form of engagement.
And Master Hayao Miyazaki said it when they offered him to use that garbage from open.. "The human being is losing faith in himself, it is an insult to life itself" Saying that a slot machine that spits out random noise, stolen and violating copyright, is art,... It's like saying I'm a professional cook for putting a purchased pizza in the microwave.
One of the issues I can’t stand with the AI fear mongering is all the people calling out other peoples artwork as being AI created when they don’t even know. I’ve even seen people say “if you don’t show a process video it isn’t real.” 🤯 So for every piece of art I post online I have to post a “making of” video to not have people claim it’s AI?! Come on people we are allowing our fear to divide the artist community, sending people into an AI witch hunting frenzy. We’re better than that.
Nah, AI is a threat much more grave than having to prove your work. If your work is the type that would attract doubts, then you have the capacity to show the process. Over the past couple of months there have been multiple AI prompters pretending to be artists, posting obvious AI, getting called out, and doubling down. Only to get proven for the leeches they are.
I’m afraid of loosing authenticity, in all creative works. Music, books, art, movies just seems like ai is slowly flooding the space and I feel like I’ll be having to tell younger generations that the internet is just full of lies and to ensure we are critically analysing absolutely everything we see. It’s exhausting
exactly the next genertion becomes a society full of non believers while everything you will see has to be checked if real or not. you can't trust anything anymore- no pictures no music no movies. everything can be generated and faked. Newest trend on tiktok are schlager hits in the style of the 70s with new joke lyrics. but it sounds so real, people think they do exist.
This made me feel a lot better, as a small artist I didn't really know what I could do but glaze/nightshade seems interesting. It's an easy way to push back and protect ourselves.
Ai won’t stop me from drawing Sure, it might take away my ability to make money from art but it’ll never stop me from drawing Drawing is the only thing I’m good at anyway
@@Dovieandi ik for 3d animation but 2d animation? i feel like there might be a blind spot for ai when it comes to handdrawn 2d animation and its beautiful imperfection, 3d rigs and basic 2d rigs will be AI-ed for sure but im still hopeful that when it comes to hand drawn frame by frame the greedy businessmen keep their hands off
there's one vid viral in twitter now unfortunately... and it looked decent enough that you wouldn't know it's ai if you were just scrolling through the timeline :/
Adobe saying they only use license content.... Then change their TOS to include YOUR content AS LICENSED CONTENT by giving them consent to do so. The audacity of that is wild. I love the idea of Glaze and Nightshade but im sorry waiting up to almost 2 hours or more is just not feasible NOR do i want to wait that long to simply add basically a filter to my image. They need to bring that process time WAY WAY down to make it more applicable to people. That time frame alone really puts off alot of people like myself.
On the Meta data scraping for those who live the UK and I imagine EU too, literally filed my request for my data not be used and after verifying my email address literally 1 min later was approved so looks like their not arduous back a forth. For the paragraph I literally wrote, " don't want the Zuck to be perv, thanks" so don't worry about writing convincing argument, they probs put it their as deterrent to people opting out. and of course Great video Jackie!
I would love to start an art account someday, both on insta and on Cara (I have X but I barely post there so), but perhaps I'm gonna wait a bit to see how everything goes with the new platform and with Glaze and Nightshade. I'm very happy to hear some positivity tho! Especially from experienced artists
Do I believe AI being used by big companies to make movies, promotions, poster, etc is bad? ABSOLUTELY! Do I think AI can be used in a good way and fun way? Yes. I feel using ai to make certain task easier like, filing taxes and getting general ideas of characters or other things is a good way to use ai. I also believe using ai for fun is also okay, as long as you aren't harming anyone's life or career. At the end of the day, it's artist who make art. Computers only trace. And the harder we fight to protect artist rights, the better.
I'm starting a project, an interactive visual novel... I tried the AI stuff,but gave up... so I decided to start learning to draw from scratch. Wich me luck coz I ain't more than 6 months to get fairly good at this.
Why do people even want AI art? We humans can do it just fine, so why go the extra mile to do something that can already be done? To do it better? More efficiently? It's failing, clearly, since AI can't accomplish many things humans can, so why do people continue to push and try to create AI art?
@@OnigoroshiZero unfortunately true but i guess that's what gets me. These artists should be entitled to their work but thanks to humans' greed they're denied basic decency :/
It's comforting to know that as scary as generative AI is getting, it's also so fragile that a little thing like barely-perceptible squiggles on an art piece can make it fall to pieces.
2 years later, and they produced 0 results. The image and video generation models keep getting better. Maybe next time try to learn how these models work, and how they are trained.
@@OnigoroshiZero When you typed this it had been a month, not two years, and who cared If they are better, because they will never be perfect, and me and many others boycott brands that use AI. Coca cola is never getting another cent from me. You can cry all you want but we are not going anywhere bud :)
I'm not a graphic artist, but I am a musician, and one with about 20 years experience in computer science. These AI models are basically worthless, because they have virtually no precise control over what is generated. No fields to type numeric values into, sliders for color grading, or checkboxes for modes of operation. It's literally billions of dollars, and gigawatts of power to develop a 'tool' that is utterly worthless.
currently i’m copying shot from my neighbor totoro movie in oil on canvas by hand. i’m even not using cheatings like projector. it’s such a joy to be able to create something with hands. because i want to be artist, not prompt writer.
I really don’t see AI really taking down artists anytime soon. To me it going to be more a a useful tool for “ready made” concept art then anything really serious.
It's pretty risky to say, but I'm still gonna say it: It was never the machine fault. The more I watch videos about this whole situation with ai, the more Is, that ai is pictured as some kind of villain machine, that wanna steal our art. But that's not how it works. Ai is programmed to do only what people told it, and it's never been living on it's own. At least I hope so... So the judgments, that goes on ai, Is actually should go on people and companies that programmed the machine to do so. Trust me, ai would never awake on it's self one day and decided to steal from artists. I think that the art community should deal not only with AI itself, but also with companies: write petitions, submit applications, arrange proteses. Anything to get through to people in the first place, not to a soulless machine
As a small artist. I have seen an AI image of a well known character, which I have also drawn, but the image was way too similar to my art! The pose, the face, the background, all of them were way too similar to not accuse it of stealing my art! So even if you're a small artist, if people find your art great, they will be able to use it for AI.
I FREAKING HATE AI SO MUCH WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE IT? DOESN'T IT FEEL BETTER TO MAKE IT YOURSELF AND IMPROVE? I HATE ANYONE WHO IS SELLING AI 'ART" ON WEBSITES AND THINKS AI DOES A BETTER JOB THAN AN ACTUAL ARTIST. AI IS STEALING FROM ARTISTS, NOW IM TOO SCARED TO POST MY FREAKING ART BECAUSE NOW YOU GOTTA BE SUPER CAREFUL BECAUSE AI CAN JUST STEAL IT EVEN DELETE UR WATERMARK. im gonna look more into cara i think thats the last social media thats safe for artists.. screw ai absolutely the worst thing that has been happening in 2023-2024. and if someone says my art looks like ai im gonna freaking lose my mind. ITS NOT ART IF YOU'RE JUST COPYING FROM EVERYONE NO CREDITS AND PEOPLE THINK THATS COOL. WHAT IS THIS SOCIETY WE ARE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW?! we artists need to do something to stop ai from taking over our artwork please i am BEGGING for this.
It seems that the battle between Art-protection and Art-stealing is becoming pretty much like software security against hackers. It's an arms race, once one is updated, the other will be updated as well.
I actually think your piece with the highest intensity glaze looks really cool. It looks good in all three, but I really like the texture it gives the cloud.
Hey Jackie!! I am a young drawer, I want to be a prop designer, an animator and game developer, but it genuinely seems like it’s getting hopeless with how AI is taking over, and in the near future it’s most likely that AI will take over. Would you recommend sticking with the passion or find a job that makes more money?
what I've personally been doing for my own work for a while is putting a very subtle static filter over it. all I do is take a screenshot of static and put it at two or three percent opacity over my work.
I feel like this AI stuff will teach us what it means to appreciate art. It's the same reason why we appreciate good movies over bad. Sure, the general consumers will watch the bad, but they are forgotten because they're just a big amalgam of corporate data sets. When you can make everything so easily, you'll eventually see what matters.
Squarespace also automagically opted in their subscribers to allow AI crawling. Without letting the subscribers know. Late 2022 I asked Squarespace support if they allow or plan to allow AI crawling from third parties. The answer, documented, was an absolute no, followed by "we respect your content and privacy" and all that. Been in conversations with customer support for a week now, because squarespace also broke my trust. Even as a paying business account subscriber (that costs $260 annually), they see me as a product instead of the other way around.
I was watching Kelsey Rodriguez video on Cara being a substitute for Instagram, and she brought up what i think is valid point, it being that even if artists move over to Cara, we would still need the audience outside of the art circle to join, specially if your aiming to sell your artwork/products to them and grow on that sense (if the audience you seek is not only other artists in this case). And why that matters is that i think it might be a similar case when it comes to artists trying to shine a light on how bad AI can be Even though the artistic community might be big, it doesn't beat off the people outside of that circle, people who probably are the target to most AI-using companies and their advertising. As long as the growing number of people who use it are unaware of/ don't seek to understand the risks it brings to the art community, those who advertise it might as well ignore one of the sides to focus on the one that still benefits them.
No, it is the birth of a new era of my career where I can finally automate my comics process and not end up in the hospital again. I'm using Stable AI with my own character designs with my own Lora models in conjunction with 3D models. Educate yourselves and get better at your crafts! LOL
No and it never will. If anything, AI has made me improve my game at painting, illustrating eh. AI is like 3D and NFTs...it will make a big splash initially, then slowly fade as most folk realise what a hollow con it actually is.
NFT is definitely bad, but what's wrong with 3d? Sure, those AAA companies have boring hyper mega realistic 3d, but I've seen a lot of artists who make very nice stylized 3d models. 3d is like sculpting, some people make cool stuff with it and there is nothing wrong with the medium
What gets me is that the AI generated images are so bland. Even if they’re nice looking, there’s just never anything interesting going on because the AI naturally doesn’t have taste and just goes for an average of the images it knows.
I'm an animator and I was going to go to Annecy this summer. But when I heard they accept AI films I didn't go. I respect myself and my work and would never go to a festival that disrespects me and my fellow artists and they are proud of it.
These common artstyles that generate from AI are now easy to call out. AI just copies artstyles from the original artist. Which is why I feel these artists should be credited for the artstyles the AI come up with. It’s important to research the original artist.
Looking at AI art I see that it all looks alike and nothing new is created. Or it imitates a popular artist generating thousands of fakes where every line and stroke is perfect and the subject is a generalization of what that artist has done in the past. But nothing about it is new. There was no creative revelation coming from the real artist. It's kind of like Art dumbed down or Art for dummies. So AI art trainers are stealing the work and livelihoods of actual artists with no compensation for when the AI trainer uses their copyrighted works. (Original works are automatically copyrighted to the creator, no registration is required). It is sad that Adobe tries to make you sign a no-contest agreement to use their software, which I will stop using. Facebook too. Does Corel have a similar no-contest agreement? I assume these no-contest agreements are sort of like an attempt to circumvent a "Work for Hire" statement even though they have not hired you? That would be illegal copyright infringement, at least as far as the U.S. Copyright Office is concerned. Too bad all these corporations are viewing AI art as their personal license to rip off artists of their unique styles for no compensation. Hopefully the U.S. Copyright Office will see AI art trainers as the latest generation of the copy machine because that is what it is.
money will tell if AI art will be a thing or not, if people pay for it then will be a thing, if people refuse because there is AI and they don't like it there will be not a thing personally i think the market will have both handmade art and AI art , for games, media, animes, comics and movies , and some countries will copystrike like crazy like US and JP but others will simply ignore and pull out the maximum overload of AI spam in every way possible like China and India
algorithm usually the first problem for anyone besides being a ghost artist or unwanted artist has its own perks like peace and quiet the most important one and maybe having a real person accidentally come across my garbage that they liked by accident or something
Things are like the Wild West right now. Instead of keeping myself in the dark waiting for the best, I went to study AI, how it works, and its flaws. As far as I can tell, the idealization of Generative Art AI is the core problem. Art AIs were created with the philosophy of making money off the “do art yourself art at home or at work without the need of an artist” market, instead of being created as a tool to improve artists productivity. Besides the obvious ethical problems, AI also have a certain component of randomness that is its Achilles heels ATM (it could change with time, but for now, it is): You just don't know what you're gonna get with AI. If you are a layman in art, that detail is not important. If you know how to draw, you have one BIG advantage over it: Precision and intent. Also, I personally think that the AI market is a time bomb, specially in the art sector. Two particular scenarios are very capable to happen in the future IMO: 1) AI complete saturates the market, no new art is produced to feed the machines, the industry is forced to go beck to use human art because there is no innovation. 2) The management of intellectual property becomes impossible. As things are now, not only artists were used as sacrificial lambs to feed the machines, but some big companies' art got in the blender too. They didn't notice yet, but their intellectual property is ALREADY being stolen, they just didn't felt in their pockets yet. And that, my people, is not a matter of maybe, is a matter of when. At some point, these big companies that now advocate so intensely about using AI to cut costs will be in the same position of the artists they fired: some AI replacing then. Expect heavy lobby from those companies to regulate or prohibit AI.
If you think about it, AI needs to be fed a lot of art to start producing quality images. The less information it has, the less variety it can offer. Why? Because it essentially creates collages from existing images and blends elements together correctly. We are all being misled about what it really does. Our art came from years of human experience built up to what we have today. If we left AI with no input, it would create nothing, which proves it is a factory of stolen artwork mashed together constantly in a mathematical sequence.
Once the EU comes up with some laws to prohibit AI to copy from your art I think big companies and countries around the world will have to follow. It usually hapoens like that in recent years
Personally I think generative AI is a gold mine for artists, it offers an amazing reference and idea generator from which to expand on. Artists have used reference photos and collected inspiration and clippings for a hundred years, using AI as a tool to help the creative process should be no different.
Highly disagree.There is a reason why I've seen a lot of artists drop using gen imagery after trying it and I don't blame them. Nothing is more accurate than an actual photo or referencing actual artists though. The photographed anatomy will be correct, the lighting will be exact and be grounded in reality. Even if the photo is doctored it will still be better than what a gen image would. Gen ai imagery is a poor substitute for that. awful for reference and ideation, especially since it can only do what has already been done. And not in the "every idea has already been done" way but in the "statistical average answer to the prompt" way. Not to mention , these aren't understanding based algorithms, they are statistical ones. If you prompt something atypical, it fails spectacularly. Like the "nerd with no glasses" case, among others. Needing to spend more time doing work around or adding more of someone else's work to get even remotely what you're looking for. No point in doing all that when you have a functional imagination and are already creative. And they don't take much to build up, its like a muscle. Gen ai has no understanding or concept of lighting, composition , design, or anything else artists consider when they simply draw from scratch-Which is a better idea than referencing or even integrating gen ai for art. You would have to settle with something remotely similar with what you want or envisioned. And why settle for less when you can do better yourself? Plus it takes far longer to edit and fix an ai image than it does to just draw it yourself anyway. Its more inconvenient, energy wasting, and inaccurate than anything. I highly discourage its use. better off sticking with photos and clippings, makes it easier to credit the sources too.
@@lotusdragonjbh But since when does art need to be anatomically correct? When does light need to be realistic? For me you can play with lots of ideas, and that can spark a creative direction. If you are interested in realism, then fine, a photo is better, but abstraction can be just that abstract. Picasso, Lowry, Bacon, plus a million other artists were not interested in realism, and when searching for ideas, Ai can be an interesting source for inspiration and can be a great starting point.
Not just anatomy but form and setting in general. But since you pointed anatony out- Medical drawings, character reference and turn arounds, painting for different genres , sizing and scaling, drawing posing and action, comic art, foreground middleground and background etc. certin things need to make sense or it looks off and kills immersion. literally the list is smaller for what doesn't need it than does. And if thats your sentiment, you can literally do all that far easier without gen ai too. You can make it up yourself as you go.
Indeed, for realism, AI is not a good source, but you could generate posture, get ideas for clothing, even play with styles. Not every reference is s about copying the reference, but collecting ideas and inspiration.
AI is not death of artists. AI is the death of the sub artist, that had as art just drawing the company maskot in a new image using a new product. That job willb e gone to AI. But.. creating a new maskot? Even if with help of AI to bring up several concepts to be later tuned, that will still be job of a human for a good while. AI will for sure take some jobs. You do not need to draw interpolation frames in an animation, the AI can do that. But you will still need artists for that animation movie. That is just another tech revolution, as many that have hit humanity and several fields. It is unavoidable... people need to adapt. You need to become good at things AI cannot be relied upon.
1, she 'punk' spiderman mic stand is totally cute. 2, AI will affect some aspects of art and artists 3, I think Artist can use AI tools to speed up their production. I'm planning to train my own local AI on my own work. Mainly to flat my line art.
As a retired artist, the internet and now AI is choking off this profession at an exponential rate. Well, there’s always openings for non-union baristas at Starbucks 😢
By definition it is not art, only humans can create art which by definition is "human self-expression". AI generates mashed together images so it makes more sense to call it "AI generated images" (AIGI) or just AI images.
AI is surface level good. But zoom in, look longer than 5 seconds and the illusion falls apart. EVERYONE should glaze their artwork until laws are in place to protect everyone.
I'd say the impact of A.I. art trades some of the value in creation for curation. The validation for creative effort has decreased (the same way a horse plowing a field has) but the rule of cool is still in play
my guess is that we as a society will eventually get tired of ai generated soulless content, lack of human feeling in products and such, and re-discover the value of human art.. i hope. tho i feel like with how much numb consumerism and anti-intellectualism (?) there is, my guess aint gonna happen in my lifetime :")
Ai is just gonna make the lack of originality problem in mainstream media worse, because instead of artists doing their best with what greedy executives are forcing them to remake and reboot, greedy executives will be copy pasting the same things into ai over and over again without even a hint of variety. In the long run all AI is gonna do is make more people flock to indie animation in search of something authentic.
As a person who likes traditional drawing, knows that it can take years to get down, experiments with his own sketches in AI and uses photoshop regularly. I know AI can go beyond a prompt. A lot of traditional artists i like online use AI. Artist can use their own drawings to train AI replicate their drawings and make their workflow faster. One can take their own drawn sketches, put them in AI and later fix them in photoshop to express their ideas. Art is expression and i think AI cannot replace real artists as AI generates it does not express what you want. In order to get something really satisfying one has to sketch, put that sketch in AI to help with detailing and then go to photoshop and detail further. AI can go beyond the prompt AI for example cannot do a scene, it cannot do text, ai is not exact and does not have human error which can be so unique. As far as taking styles. That is stealing and i don't do it as style is a unique expression of art and taking the style of others is not an expression of yourself. I love technology and in my opinion it can help us advance but companies to make a bigger profit like Hollywood are messing things up. AI can help as reference or to improve work speeds, and when taken beyond a simple prompt can teach a lot to students of art, as traditional art and photoshop are needed to make a simple prompt something that's totally different and can be so unique that it becomes art. Hollywood, gaming companies that act greedy along with folks that are satisfied with just a prompt and taking a style can make AI look like the bad guy. IMO when it comes to stealing I blame humans that steal not AI as AI can be used in more positive ways than negative. I am fascinated with technology but love art at the same time so i can see both sides of the argument and just come to one conclusion. People that want to steal will steal regardless.
I am a beginer artist (practicing digital painting ^-^) and I don't feel it is right to put my baby art online. However, I do post my writing online. I write a lot of web fiction and fan fics and I love posting them on my blog and AO3 for others to read and communicate with my fandom and friends. However, at least as of right now, there is no way to protect online writing from AI scraping and I really wish there was so I could go back to sharing what I love with my friends and fellow fic readers ;-; As of right now, my only option is to just keep my writing to myself, which while not the worst thing (the pressure to perform is gone, yay!), defeats the purpose of using writing and storeytelling as a way to communicate with others and make friends.
AI art will destroy artists for one simple reason - it makes art worthless. Why care about an image that takes only a few seconds to create? One that requires no skill? AI art is "throwaway" art, like a paper cup. Corporations will love AI, of course. No one else will.
I use AI art to promote my stories, which I don't charge for (I'm a writer). But I'm looking to put out a novel, so I've been soliciting traditional artists for the cover. It's doing something weird to my brain, where all the AI art looks cheap and plastic, and all the human art (even things I remember as being master pieces) looks like a child drew them. I think I'd be happier if all art was left to humans, but AI art has made it feasible for someone like me (not a huge company) to have access to it. It's bittersweet.
If it serves as consolation, its now just art. AI is going to replace several other jobs. We are just the first in line. So, its better that we all get used to change and move on from the old ways. Obviously art won't be 'fully' replaced. Here and there, one or two artists will manage to work as they used to, but, progressively, most of us will loose their jobs and we will have to switch professions. Plain and simple. It is just a matter of time having seeing how things are progressing. To deny this is silliness. I am already changing the kind of art I do for one less under immediate threat, but also knowing that it will be replaced as well in a couple of years. Art as an artesanal human activity, as work, is doomed. Most 'artists' working with art will be AI managers, AI art fixers and curators of AI made art. Let's be honest here, there is no way out. We better be mature and cope with that, letting our art be our hobby in due time. So, enjoy the last era of human made art, save as much money as you guys can and start considering other activities.
i hope a web version of Nightshade will come out. I tried to run Glaze on my PC and it made my computer pretty hot (it also said it would take hours.). Granted, it's kind of old, but I still want to protect my art.
Thank you so much for this video! I think me and alot of other artists really needed something with hope and information on how to fight back on AI art. Definitely trying to figure out how to learn Glaze and Nightshade. I also was wondering how you feel about the Adobe situation and if you are currently looking or going to use other software for your art. I would love to hear your recommendations as a replacement for Photoshop.
reasons on why AI art wont take over all artists jobs, A company provides goods and services for the people so they need to provide things that people actually want, First of all AI art cant be copyrighted meaning they would be providing non copyrighted art which wont end well, second no one wants things made by AI like would you rather read a book made by a person or an AI? obv a person right... If the people dont want things made by AI, companies will be forced to not use AI created things. These are my reasons on why I dont think I will fully take over, also I think Its only booming right now only because its a new thing and its in its spotlight. only time will tell though.
1st of all when did digital artists become the new "real artists"😂😂 Calm down guys, theres room for everyone.. Traditional 3D Digital 2d Matte P Tracers AI This ai war has been blown way out of proportion imo
All of this reminds me of the prescient points Amy Webb made in The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity. Side note: seek out her thoughts on accountability chain. Thank you for this. I think the issue here is folks NEED to fast track this particular flavor of artificial intelligence before we get to AGI. I am reminded of the Cleo Abram video where she used gen ai alongside a digital artist friend. He got better results because he knew what to ask. The advancement since then has been on lowering the bar to access. Not expanding the range of utility. The solutions you have presented are necessary spikes in the yellow brick road. The [non-artists] making the decisions have made it clear they will only be held accountable if caught.
Um. I hope WIX isnt stealing art to feed into an AI. I did not think of that being a possibility until you mention squarespace. I was using it for portfolio but i might just delete.

My company thought they could replace me with ai so I quit during a huge project, I was the team lead, and had advanced knowledge on all the tools. They ended up losing a massive client because they couldn't deliver the quality they needed, and eventually wanted to hire me back. I increased my salary by 30k and got to negotiate my full contract so I have ownership of all my created works.
Nice

It’s up to the consumers. Companies have been trying to automate things forever, but if it gets rejected by the consumer, they’ll abandon it.
problem is most consumers won't care
but will consumers care about something like this
Consumers can now sell shits made by AI or no more need real artist work cuz of AI, and cherry on the cake, AI steal artists works from the "internet world". Basically internet or AI arent bad but are always used in wrong ways or for egoists purposes, in my opinion, if we cant give a knife to a 5 years old, we shouldn't leave theses tools free of access on humanity since they proven being 5years old in generality and their insane side is origin of all problems. I know i sound extrem, but im just being realistic.
Customers are starting to associate it with boomers, and scams.
So.... that's probably going to make it un-cool.
Some consumers have been mocking artists who've requested that they don't ask for AI art *in their style* because that dataset was scraped off the internet. If the law doesn't get involved, nothing will change.
As an art student seeing all of the AI takeover develop so fast has been extremely overwhelming, this video actually helped me do something about it and protect my art instead of passively seeing it all get worse
Images. Unless AI has become sentient it's producing images not art. As artists we need to change the framing of this problem. Humans make art. Computer programs make images.
And humans using computer programs to sketch, draw, paint, etc. make digital art.
That's a good way to put it, but the sad part is the average consumer won't care. That's why AI art discourse and information is almost entirely encapsulated in art community spaces where artists or people who respect artists share a platform. So in the end, the framing or name we give the problem doesn't really fix it when the underlying problem is how disrespected artists are
I certainly agree. I don't even understand the concept of consuming AI generated content as though it has some reason to exist. Of course that won't stop corporations from making money off images, video, or songs generated by AI, and calling it art.
@@mertensiam3384 Lets be honest, the 'average consumer' has no idea what constitutes art anyway. They paid to see 1,400 Marvel films. The real problem I see is that companies don't care if it's partially incoherent, or lower quality, just so long as it's cheaper. And of course if they can eliminate human artists, they can eliminate every other job imaginable.
@@dmwalker24 even some artists themselves have been using gen ai and support it's use if it makes them laugh. And I just look at them thinking "don't they realize that this is training the model? Don't they realize that by using ai to make that one baby with giant shoes, they're training ai to make videos of real babies?"
People in general truly don't care about shit if it's cheap or makes them laugh, and it's concerning
I’ve switched to calling them AI Images. Calling them Art gives them a legitimacy to non-artists that they don’t deserve.
couldn't have said it better! us artists really need to start having in confidence in the skills and creativity that we have, even though I know it's easier said than done. imo all these slop generators are the consequence of a society not really appreciating the arts and the cultural value it actually has and it doesn't help when we put ourselves down too in the process.
Yes!
Ai art is real art
@@techycheese6383 are you someone who has practiced creating art with your own two hands (not just typing words/ideas into a generator)?
@@modoodles yes
I just really really hope people continue to value real, handmade human created art more than AI generated stuff
Like, corporations are obviously going to do whats cheaper but i hope that audiences will continue to spot AI art and critique its use and ethics (or lack thereof) so that it isnt profitable
Normal people don't care. Those who work a full time job but want to do art as well, will turn to ai out of convenience. look at some who call themselves musicians who only use ai to "make" music, they will bang out a number 1 hit in a few hours instead of days. I have been using suno to experiment, but my prompting comes from music theory and feeding ai with lyrics then prompting it to do a blues shuffle in key of B minor a male vocals using chords C D Bm D ect.. gives you what you want eventually. its like when using chord generators or note generators ect.. It helps creating a unique work of art. trying to prompt strumming patterns don't work or at least I haven't found a way to make it work. I guess it will eventually. I have used Logic pro drummer for years in creating music, because i'm not going to pay a drummer, I have experienced putting a band together, its hard work. I would rather be creative in my spare time than trying to figure out a time a band can get together to finish music. I might one day be able to tour and hire temp musicians to play the instruments I need like bass and drums.
The majority can't tell the difference, so don't care
The problem is when you cant tell whats art and whats AI created. I want to buy something made by human hand. And i will feel sceptical and questioning all art.
even if they do, how will anyone be able to tell the difference?
People still look at Van Gogh, take pottery classes, play card games, and camp in the woods for fun. Just dont feed the machine.
Well people don’t really have a choice in feeding the machines cuz the corps do it regardless. People just have to be vocal abt how much they hate the machine and never accept it as “okay”
@@marselo1316 Tienes toda la verdad, Marselo.
And people will still be able to draw. The only issue of all these butthurt artists is that they will lose their easy money from making images...
No one will stop them from drawing, but they don't really care about it, just the economic aspect of it.
@@OnigoroshiZeroUh duh... Would you like to work for free? If you work in IT would you like to be fired and go broke because your boss decided that they would prefer an AI to you? Of course you won't be happy even if you enjoy computer stuff. Nobody likes doing stuff for free.

This so-called AI is not sentient. It's the greedy corporations and their owners that need to be dealt with.
I do voiceovers and it’s so insulting when you make mistakes and people go “I can get cheaper and better from AI” like people don’t naturally breathe or stutter. the imperfections make us human
And that's exactly why I want to hire humans. Their voices' "imperfections" are what I'm looking for. I have to use ElevenLabs for a placeholder in a project I'm doing. As soon as I get money from crowdfunding, I'll replace it with human voice actors. I hate that robotic crap without breathing sounds.
why would imperfections making you human mean your customers want imperfections?
@@Synthesia-ef7hj Yes, imperfections are definitely needed to some degree to create a more organic aesthetic, as opposed to synthetic "perfection" that can come across as ugly. I'm pretty sure he is referring to imperfections that create an organic feel. Consider 2D animation, for example. Even today, 3D animation often struggles to capture the organic quality that 2D animation achieves. From an organic perspective, a purely synthetic aesthetic can appear dull.
@@Synthesia-ef7hj my point was that sometimes people want such crystal clear audio with no hint of accent, which is when hard for most people due to cultural and regional differences. For example, I had a client who would send me AI references for how they thought English words/slang were pronounced, and when I tried to explain that that was an AI and not how the region says it (think Jawn for a Philly based company), they got very defensive of the AI
@@Amelia_PC You don't understand how to use 11 or editing. It's 100% not robotic and has breathing if you know how to use it.
The shitty thing about Adobe's "clarification" is that they didn't re-update the terms of service. I'm hoping AI-prompted images are just a gimmick and they go away once viewers see that they're kinda trash and the datasets are run dry. Nightshade feels like the better option to combat this because AI is being pushed so, so heavily by shareholders in these companies and businesses. They want people to buy into their AI products as a "solution" to... Really, just not paying artists (like illustrators and photographers). They need to see that artists who don't consent to their works being used without permissions will take action when things like copyright laws and licensing haven't caught up to the digital age. I love the big fuck-you to the data training. We need more legislation. We need businesses to fear their consumers because they really are at the whim of what consumers want and use.
You “hope” viewers will see? You mean the same viewers who pay top price for a piece of cardboard and artery clogging plastic McDonalds calls a burger? You’re delusional if you think anyone can rely on the public.

I don't think AI can ruin art in a sense. What makes art so special is the fact that it can be done by us, humans. You take that away, and really, all there is is a flat superficial image. The art is really in the process that leads to the result, and when a piece of art is completely done by a human, without the use of AI at all, then that inspires and motivates people. AI will never replace that. Artists will always have a career. I believe that 100%. One day people will ask if a piece of art is really done by a human, and in finding out that it was done by a human, people could be even more exhilarated than even now. So in a way, It may do the opposite for us artists, or at least I hope so. The real problem is finding out if a piece of art is really done completely by a human without AI.
I agree, I think too many people value art based on its dollar value, but in reality, art isn't about money. If your only goal is to make money, you would be better off in finance. Art is about sharing your soul with others!
@@Naoto-kun1085 exactly, very well put.
"You take that away, and really, all that remains is a flat superficial image." You see, the problem is that many people just need a "flat superficial image". For example, a comic book writer only needs the illustrations. An advertiser only needs an image with cool VFX of their product. A video game company only needs concept art for the characters. Most people don't care if these AI-generated works lack "soul"; they just want illustrations. If AI can produce them, they will use it.
@@baiwuli6781 I agree to an extent. I really mean that the process is the highlight. I think people can be subconsciously inspired and motivated if they find art amazing that's done by a person entirely. That's me though.
Also gAI just copied stolen media. It is nothing without stealing.
We have a saying in my field and that is, the first 80% progress is 1% of the total amount of work. It's that last 20% that will kill you. Short of a major breakthrough, I doubt AI will replace the fully trained and skilled artists, but it may very well replace those that are in that 80% tier. I look to self driving cars for example. Sure they can handle 80% of situations, but that last 20% is crucial. 20 years ago they were saying cabs/uber drivers would be unemployed within the decade... yet here we are, with self driving cars still ramming telephone poles 20 years later.

Well, I studied programming and artificial intelligence in school. I learned some things in college about cognition, and today I work as a designer. I can contribute to this debate, I guess.
Everyone needs to understand that generative AI is not a big industry conspiracy. This is not some evil plan to destroy us all. The history of this technology goes back more than 40 years. It was already suspected, even in the 1990s, that at some point artificial neural networks would become so good that they could completely describe a photograph. It is a scientific matter. The hype happens today because the big industry saw that, in the last years, these algorithms have become so good that they could now exploit them commercially.
What can reassure creative professionals about AI is that you need to know what you're doing to produce something useful. This applies to everyone, from translators using AI to architects and illustrators. This part is exemplified in the art director’s comment. It's no use, AI doesn't know what composition, perspective, style, and color are. It is an empty algorithm with no intentionality that mines the data of hundreds of millions of users.
This is where the debate about AI gets ugly. This is not about banning AI. This is impossible. It's about making it clear that OpenAI, MidJouney, Google, and many other companies are illegally stealing our data and that we need to do something about it. These companies know this, they know that what they are doing is incorrect or even illegal, but they also know that their business model will be seriously compromised if they don't do it this way. AI is an expensive thing. What will happen when governments regulate this? What will happen when celebrities and artists win their lawsuits? What will happen when pornography generated using the faces of children causes a negative stir in public opinion? Because of that it is already being debated whether this AI hype is economically sustainable.
We artists should understand as much as possible how AI works. Yes, AI is useful in many ways. It's just a machine, there's no need to be afraid. However, we must be aware of what billion-dollar companies can do, just as we must show that tech companies cannot do what they want at any cost, or, otherwise, they will start to suffer FINANCIALLY.
PS: Review your terms Adobe, I've been missing Gimp a lot lately..
The only way people can be protected by this is an international Bill of Digital Rights. That’s the only way. But I don’t expect that to ever happen given politicians are local, corporations are global, politicians are worth a few million, corporations worth billions or trillions. Hence even if such an effort was to be made, the corporations have all the power in the world to push back on that and destroy it.
Why? Well because then anything someone does online belongs to them. You can’t “opt in” or “opt out” without written, signed, notarized contracts. Similarly here. This means that whenever you Google something or are snooping around in Amazon, the digital marks you’re leaving, the labor, belongs to you. Google or Amazon can’t use it.
Thus far they have. Whenever someone is browsing for things they’d want to buy they are teaching Amazon’s algorithm to show you what you’d be most likely to buy, in effect making Amazon a profit. Amazon is monetizing the digital labor you put into perfecting their algorithm to predict what you and people like you want.
It’s like owning a piece of land and having cement, steel and bricks on it, and inviting people to take a minute to lay a brick on their way to work or wherever. Thousands of people and hours later the collective effort of these people put into this thing freely has created a huge building the owner now had and will monetize, effectively privatizing public labor for nothing!
That’s where we’ve been at in regards to the internet for decades. This is just the most obvious case. And lawsuits against the AI companies won’t do squat. We need a Bill of Digital Rights.
I would rather ban it, honestly.
It's developing so fast laws are falling behind failing to cover it. It needs to be banned first, discussed later.
I thought there already has been cases of AI making CP content
Im not really afraid of AI, in fact i think its a really cool technology. What really scares me is the people using it, you go on the internet 99% of them are saying that they aren't stealing but at the same time saying that artist/creative workers arent necessary, so far they just demonstrated a narcicist public image.
I feel like even having AI help you do character turnarounds kind of defeats the purpose of doing one in the first place. I know there are parts of art that are more laborious but that’s why human made art is so impressive. I feel like the real problem is how quickly people are expected to churn out art in order to meet studio demands and deadlines. I wish we could just hire more artists for certain projects , create slowly, and reject generative AI altogether.
The masses agree, the capitalist pigs says no tho
is using ctrl z also cheating? real artists cant undo their mistakes
@@Synthesia-ef7hj God forbid we use erasers or whiteouts
@@Synthesia-ef7hj Don’t be stupid now, that’s nowhere near the same thing
@@pine8839 op literally said its art being hard that makes it art, ctrl z makes it easier, so does that mean if you use ctrl z its less art?
I like to think ai will not replace artist since people enjoy human art, my biggest concern is the flooding of content ai is going to create, making it harder and harder for REAL art to pop up.
02:53 I tried to opt out of meta's data scraping, mentioning that I lived in the EU when most of the works on my account were made and posted and so GDPR should apply, but even after going to the effort they replied explicitly that they will not go ahead with the opt-out because they cannot find 'evidence of personal information' in outputs.
Who HONESTLY expected the corporations to keep their word and defend the people they profit off of, instead of pursuing even more profit? Not me..
It's such bullshit. I 100% doubt that they went through their data sets looking for specific personal information. Can you imagine any other company saying "no you can't opt out because we can't find your information in the data set"? That's fucking terrifying because how do we know they even have the data to begin with? How are they keeping track of a user's data? They're trying to use this stupid loophole that a user needs to have evidence that their data has been used, but without access to the training models and data sets, users can't prove that. It should be enough to say "I don't consent and I would like my data removed from all databases and servers, per GDPR regulation."
How did you phrase your opt out? I wonder if it's about the wording of what you write in the opt out form. I just said that my work that is posted is my own intellectual property and I don't give them permission or consent for it to be used in any way, including in ai training data sets. And that if my request is denied I'll have no choice but to delete all my posts immediately. I got approval right away. I don't know but I'm wondering if maybe they are obliged by law in eu/uk to approve if you most explicitly and bluntly state you don't consent. Otherwise, if you phrase it more like asking, they might use it as an opportunity to evade the point and try to subdue you with nonsense like "well, your personal info isn't found in the data set". Which is complete bullshit btw. So what if it isn't found, I still want to opt out and whether it's found or not is irrelevant.
Anyway, I don't know if it has anything to do with the wording, just me speculating. That would also explain why they make you write them a frickin letter instead of just providing an opt out button - to use any possible loophole.
(fellow european) I barely post on my ig, but I still have images that are directly linked to my identity so I didn't even bother to phrase it in a 'professional' or 'polite' way. I never asked for them to data-scrape my account, so why should I be? lolI just said that I was disgusted by the new policy and demanded to be opted out of it. I got a reply within seconds, whether they'll actually follow through on it, idk. But maybe you could try it that way, if you've found no success so far?
@@lesley1204 that only works in europe and countries w same type of laws related. if you're in the US, tough luck!
think the process of glazing/night shading my previous artwork feels daunting because iv posted so much on my insta and twitter
wish they can allow a similar feature to DeviantArt were you can keep a art piece up but update it though the edit tab so you don't have to take it down fully
anyways I'm glad to hear a professional's pov on this topic, great work Jackie!
Using these processes on past posted work is likely a fruitless endeavor anyways. If it was already posted in the past it's likely already been scrapped and sitting in a dataset. This really only applies to future works you may post.
@@thatwittyname2578 yeah, ive learned from another video recently that there really isn't a place to hide your art anyways, Cara especially says you cant post AI but someone could still manually take your art from their site to give to their AI
@@emmadilemma4177cara is basically just a gold mine for ai since they know none of the images are ai generated, its literally the perfect data set
thank you for the vid! i’ve been a bit intimidated by the glaze/nightshade setup, but i’ll think i’ll go ahead and set it up! ❤❤
you know there's something wrong when a literal robot has faster success than an actual,talented,living artist.
Let’s not forget that FurAffinity had at one point an “Artist” post ai generated furry genitalia every 40 seconds. If art sites, paid or not, are not careful, their entire search gets flooded with garbage. This makes an artist have trouble gaining followers or any form of engagement.
And Master Hayao Miyazaki said it when they offered him to use that garbage from open..
"The human being is losing faith in himself, it is an insult to life itself"
Saying that a slot machine that spits out random noise, stolen and violating copyright, is art,...
It's like saying I'm a professional cook for putting a purchased pizza in the microwave.
One of the issues I can’t stand with the AI fear mongering is all the people calling out other peoples artwork as being AI created when they don’t even know. I’ve even seen people say “if you don’t show a process video it isn’t real.” 🤯 So for every piece of art I post online I have to post a “making of” video to not have people claim it’s AI?! Come on people we are allowing our fear to divide the artist community, sending people into an AI witch hunting frenzy. We’re better than that.
Nah, AI is a threat much more grave than having to prove your work. If your work is the type that would attract doubts, then you have the capacity to show the process.
Over the past couple of months there have been multiple AI prompters pretending to be artists, posting obvious AI, getting called out, and doubling down. Only to get proven for the leeches they are.
I’m afraid of loosing authenticity, in all creative works. Music, books, art, movies just seems like ai is slowly flooding the space and I feel like I’ll be having to tell younger generations that the internet is just full of lies and to ensure we are critically analysing absolutely everything we see. It’s exhausting
exactly the next genertion becomes a society full of non believers while everything you will see has to be checked if real or not. you can't trust anything anymore- no pictures no music no movies. everything can be generated and faked. Newest trend on tiktok are schlager hits in the style of the 70s with new joke lyrics. but it sounds so real, people think they do exist.
This made me feel a lot better, as a small artist I didn't really know what I could do but glaze/nightshade seems interesting. It's an easy way to push back and protect ourselves.
Ai won’t stop me from drawing
Sure, it might take away my ability to make money from art but it’ll never stop me from drawing
Drawing is the only thing I’m good at anyway
I’m not going to stop drawing either!
So weird….. here in Miami we got a gazillion art galleries with price tags on the prettt pictures

@@Dovieandi ik for 3d animation but 2d animation? i feel like there might be a blind spot for ai when it comes to handdrawn 2d animation and its beautiful imperfection, 3d rigs and basic 2d rigs will be AI-ed for sure but im still hopeful that when it comes to hand drawn frame by frame the greedy businessmen keep their hands off
i mean there is a tool like that, but it looks so lifeless fortunately and it cannot generate objects consistently. but im afraid its a yet tho.
there's one vid viral in twitter now unfortunately... and it looked decent enough that you wouldn't know it's ai if you were just scrolling through the timeline :/
I love your use of the term “prompters”. It’s so succinct.
Adobe saying they only use license content.... Then change their TOS to include YOUR content AS LICENSED CONTENT by giving them consent to do so. The audacity of that is wild.
I love the idea of Glaze and Nightshade but im sorry waiting up to almost 2 hours or more is just not feasible NOR do i want to wait that long to simply add basically a filter to my image. They need to bring that process time WAY WAY down to make it more applicable to people. That time frame alone really puts off alot of people like myself.
On the Meta data scraping for those who live the UK and I imagine EU too, literally filed my request for my data not be used and after verifying my email address literally 1 min later was approved so looks like their not arduous back a forth. For the paragraph I literally wrote, " don't want the Zuck to be perv, thanks" so don't worry about writing convincing argument, they probs put it their as deterrent to people opting out. and of course Great video Jackie!
...which means they are going to scrape your art anyway! I mean, how would you even prove that they did?
I would love to start an art account someday, both on insta and on Cara (I have X but I barely post there so), but perhaps I'm gonna wait a bit to see how everything goes with the new platform and with Glaze and Nightshade. I'm very happy to hear some positivity tho! Especially from experienced artists
Im on pillowfort! Its also a website that completely bans ai content, the place is very welcoming and settled down there. Also trying out Cara!
Do I believe AI being used by big companies to make movies, promotions, poster, etc is bad? ABSOLUTELY!
Do I think AI can be used in a good way and fun way? Yes.
I feel using ai to make certain task easier like, filing taxes and getting general ideas of characters or other things is a good way to use ai. I also believe using ai for fun is also okay, as long as you aren't harming anyone's life or career.
At the end of the day, it's artist who make art. Computers only trace. And the harder we fight to protect artist rights, the better.
Im very inspired by your work,and would live to be as professional as you one day.
Same here!
I'm starting a project, an interactive visual novel... I tried the AI stuff,but gave up... so I decided to start learning to draw from scratch. Wich me luck coz I ain't more than 6 months to get fairly good at this.
Why do people even want AI art? We humans can do it just fine, so why go the extra mile to do something that can already be done? To do it better? More efficiently? It's failing, clearly, since AI can't accomplish many things humans can, so why do people continue to push and try to create AI art?
They want ai art because its cheaper and faster.
@@peacefulman2196 Mmm fair point. I guess that's the worst part; industries and companies will do anything to cut corners...
Cheaper, faster, and better if you spend 2-3 minutes more.
Also, no hassle of interacting with entitled humans.
@@OnigoroshiZero unfortunately true but i guess that's what gets me. These artists should be entitled to their work but thanks to humans' greed they're denied basic decency :/
lazy people want to make art but don't want to put the work in
It's comforting to know that as scary as generative AI is getting, it's also so fragile that a little thing like barely-perceptible squiggles on an art piece can make it fall to pieces.

i saw the thumbnail cut off and thought it was saying AI is ending. got so excited there man
I'm not a graphic artist, but I am a musician, and one with about 20 years experience in computer science. These AI models are basically worthless, because they have virtually no precise control over what is generated. No fields to type numeric values into, sliders for color grading, or checkboxes for modes of operation. It's literally billions of dollars, and gigawatts of power to develop a 'tool' that is utterly worthless.
currently i’m copying shot from my neighbor totoro movie in oil on canvas by hand. i’m even not using cheatings like projector. it’s such a joy to be able to create something with hands. because i want to be artist, not prompt writer.
I'd heard of glaze and nightshade but didn't know where to start, so thank you for explaining in a way that makes sense! 🥰
I really don’t see AI really taking down artists anytime soon. To me it going to be more a a useful tool for “ready made” concept art then anything really serious.
Yeah in the 3D space I compare it to things like auto retopology. It's quick useful and fast, but it's MUCH MUCH better to do it manually
Already took. Before for big project you needed 10 artists. Now - 2 is enough. Also, completely destroyed artists on stock markets.
It is not the end of artists, rather the death of art sites flooded with algorithmical imagery.
I have no problem with photoshop trying to use my work. I pirate my PS. :)
Ai can never replace actual artists for a number of reasons.
It's pretty risky to say, but I'm still gonna say it: It was never the machine fault.
The more I watch videos about this whole situation with ai, the more Is, that ai is pictured as some kind of villain machine, that wanna steal our art. But that's not how it works. Ai is programmed to do only what people told it, and it's never been living on it's own. At least I hope so... So the judgments, that goes on ai, Is actually should go on people and companies that programmed the machine to do so. Trust me, ai would never awake on it's self one day and decided to steal from artists.
I think that the art community should deal not only with AI itself, but also with companies: write petitions, submit applications, arrange proteses. Anything to get through to people in the first place, not to a soulless machine
That mic setup you have is very cute
I'LL DIE WITH MY ART. BEFORE I UPLOAD IT ANYWHERE.
As a small artist. I have seen an AI image of a well known character, which I have also drawn, but the image was way too similar to my art! The pose, the face, the background, all of them were way too similar to not accuse it of stealing my art! So even if you're a small artist, if people find your art great, they will be able to use it for AI.
I hate it! Ai is messing up to many things!
I FREAKING HATE AI SO MUCH WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE IT? DOESN'T IT FEEL BETTER TO MAKE IT YOURSELF AND IMPROVE? I HATE ANYONE WHO IS SELLING AI 'ART" ON WEBSITES AND THINKS AI DOES A BETTER JOB THAN AN ACTUAL ARTIST. AI IS STEALING FROM ARTISTS, NOW IM TOO SCARED TO POST MY FREAKING ART BECAUSE NOW YOU GOTTA BE SUPER CAREFUL BECAUSE AI CAN JUST STEAL IT EVEN DELETE UR WATERMARK. im gonna look more into cara i think thats the last social media thats safe for artists.. screw ai absolutely the worst thing that has been happening in 2023-2024. and if someone says my art looks like ai im gonna freaking lose my mind. ITS NOT ART IF YOU'RE JUST COPYING FROM EVERYONE NO CREDITS AND PEOPLE THINK THATS COOL. WHAT IS THIS SOCIETY WE ARE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW?!
we artists need to do something to stop ai from taking over our artwork
please i am BEGGING for this.
Yeah it’s messed up!
It seems that the battle between Art-protection and Art-stealing is becoming pretty much like software security against hackers. It's an arms race, once one is updated, the other will be updated as well.

Hey Jackie!! I am a young drawer, I want to be a prop designer, an animator and game developer, but it genuinely seems like it’s getting hopeless with how AI is taking over, and in the near future it’s most likely that AI will take over. Would you recommend sticking with the passion or find a job that makes more money?
what I've personally been doing for my own work for a while is putting a very subtle static filter over it. all I do is take a screenshot of static and put it at two or three percent opacity over my work.
I feel like this AI stuff will teach us what it means to appreciate art. It's the same reason why we appreciate good movies over bad. Sure, the general consumers will watch the bad, but they are forgotten because they're just a big amalgam of corporate data sets.
When you can make everything so easily, you'll eventually see what matters.
Squarespace also automagically opted in their subscribers to allow AI crawling. Without letting the subscribers know. Late 2022 I asked Squarespace support if they allow or plan to allow AI crawling from third parties. The answer, documented, was an absolute no, followed by "we respect your content and privacy" and all that. Been in conversations with customer support for a week now, because squarespace also broke my trust. Even as a paying business account subscriber (that costs $260 annually), they see me as a product instead of the other way around.
I was watching Kelsey Rodriguez video on Cara being a substitute for Instagram, and she brought up what i think is valid point, it being that even if artists move over to Cara, we would still need the audience outside of the art circle to join, specially if your aiming to sell your artwork/products to them and grow on that sense (if the audience you seek is not only other artists in this case).
And why that matters is that i think it might be a similar case when it comes to artists trying to shine a light on how bad AI can be
Even though the artistic community might be big, it doesn't beat off the people outside of that circle, people who probably are the target to most AI-using companies and their advertising.
As long as the growing number of people who use it are unaware of/ don't seek to understand the risks it brings to the art community, those who advertise it might as well ignore one of the sides to focus on the one that still benefits them.
No, it is the birth of a new era of my career where I can finally automate my comics process and not end up in the hospital again. I'm using Stable AI with my own character designs with my own Lora models in conjunction with 3D models. Educate yourselves and get better at your crafts! LOL
No and it never will. If anything, AI has made me improve my game at painting, illustrating eh. AI is like 3D and NFTs...it will make a big splash initially, then slowly fade as most folk realise what a hollow con it actually is.
NFT is definitely bad, but what's wrong with 3d? Sure, those AAA companies have boring hyper mega realistic 3d, but I've seen a lot of artists who make very nice stylized 3d models. 3d is like sculpting, some people make cool stuff with it and there is nothing wrong with the medium
What gets me is that the AI generated images are so bland. Even if they’re nice looking, there’s just never anything interesting going on because the AI naturally doesn’t have taste and just goes for an average of the images it knows.
I'm an animator and I was going to go to Annecy this summer. But when I heard they accept AI films I didn't go. I respect myself and my work and would never go to a festival that disrespects me and my fellow artists and they are proud of it.
These common artstyles that generate from AI are now easy to call out. AI just copies artstyles from the original artist. Which is why I feel these artists should be credited for the artstyles the AI come up with. It’s important to research the original artist.
Looking at AI art I see that it all looks alike and nothing new is created. Or it imitates a popular artist generating thousands of fakes where every line and stroke is perfect and the subject is a generalization of what that artist has done in the past. But nothing about it is new. There was no creative revelation coming from the real artist. It's kind of like Art dumbed down or Art for dummies.
So AI art trainers are stealing the work and livelihoods of actual artists with no compensation for when the AI trainer uses their copyrighted works. (Original works are automatically copyrighted to the creator, no registration is required). It is sad that Adobe tries to make you sign a no-contest agreement to use their software, which I will stop using. Facebook too. Does Corel have a similar no-contest agreement? I assume these no-contest agreements are sort of like an attempt to circumvent a "Work for Hire" statement even though they have not hired you? That would be illegal copyright infringement, at least as far as the U.S. Copyright Office is concerned.
Too bad all these corporations are viewing AI art as their personal license to rip off artists of their unique styles for no compensation. Hopefully the U.S. Copyright Office will see AI art trainers as the latest generation of the copy machine because that is what it is.
money will tell if AI art will be a thing or not, if people pay for it then will be a thing, if people refuse because there is AI and they don't like it there will be not a thing
personally i think the market will have both handmade art and AI art , for games, media, animes, comics and movies , and some countries will copystrike like crazy like US and JP but others will simply ignore and pull out the maximum overload of AI spam in every way possible like China and India
I'm honestly thinking I will be working in retail in a couple of years, if AI continues to grow as fast as it did in the last few years.
The fact that I got an ad for an AI software ON THIS VIDEO
algorithm usually the first problem for anyone
besides being a ghost artist or unwanted artist has its own perks
like peace and quiet the most important one
and maybe having a real person accidentally come across my garbage that they liked by accident or something
Things are like the Wild West right now. Instead of keeping myself in the dark waiting for the best, I went to study AI, how it works, and its flaws. As far as I can tell, the idealization of Generative Art AI is the core problem. Art AIs were created with the philosophy of making money off the “do art yourself art at home or at work without the need of an artist” market, instead of being created as a tool to improve artists productivity. Besides the obvious ethical problems, AI also have a certain component of randomness that is its Achilles heels ATM (it could change with time, but for now, it is): You just don't know what you're gonna get with AI. If you are a layman in art, that detail is not important. If you know how to draw, you have one BIG advantage over it: Precision and intent.
Also, I personally think that the AI market is a time bomb, specially in the art sector. Two particular scenarios are very capable to happen in the future IMO: 1) AI complete saturates the market, no new art is produced to feed the machines, the industry is forced to go beck to use human art because there is no innovation. 2) The management of intellectual property becomes impossible. As things are now, not only artists were used as sacrificial lambs to feed the machines, but some big companies' art got in the blender too. They didn't notice yet, but their intellectual property is ALREADY being stolen, they just didn't felt in their pockets yet. And that, my people, is not a matter of maybe, is a matter of when. At some point, these big companies that now advocate so intensely about using AI to cut costs will be in the same position of the artists they fired: some AI replacing then. Expect heavy lobby from those companies to regulate or prohibit AI.
"Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation"
If you think about it, AI needs to be fed a lot of art to start producing quality images. The less information it has, the less variety it can offer. Why? Because it essentially creates collages from existing images and blends elements together correctly. We are all being misled about what it really does. Our art came from years of human experience built up to what we have today. If we left AI with no input, it would create nothing, which proves it is a factory of stolen artwork mashed together constantly in a mathematical sequence.
Once the EU comes up with some laws to prohibit AI to copy from your art I think big companies and countries around the world will have to follow. It usually hapoens like that in recent years
As long as ppl will continue physical medium for art, artists will never fade away
Personally I think generative AI is a gold mine for artists, it offers an amazing reference and idea generator from which to expand on. Artists have used reference photos and collected inspiration and clippings for a hundred years, using AI as a tool to help the creative process should be no different.
Highly disagree.There is a reason why I've seen a lot of artists drop using gen imagery after trying it and I don't blame them. Nothing is more accurate than an actual photo or referencing actual artists though. The photographed anatomy will be correct, the lighting will be exact and be grounded in reality. Even if the photo is doctored it will still be better than what a gen image would. Gen ai imagery is a poor substitute for that. awful for reference and ideation, especially since it can only do what has already been done. And not in the "every idea has already been done" way but in the "statistical average answer to the prompt" way. Not to mention , these aren't understanding based algorithms, they are statistical ones. If you prompt something atypical, it fails spectacularly. Like the "nerd with no glasses" case, among others. Needing to spend more time doing work around or adding more of someone else's work to get even remotely what you're looking for. No point in doing all that when you have a functional imagination and are already creative. And they don't take much to build up, its like a muscle. Gen ai has no understanding or concept of lighting, composition , design, or anything else artists consider when they simply draw from scratch-Which is a better idea than referencing or even integrating gen ai for art.
You would have to settle with something remotely similar with what you want or envisioned. And why settle for less when you can do better yourself? Plus it takes far longer to edit and fix an ai image than it does to just draw it yourself anyway. Its more inconvenient, energy wasting, and inaccurate than anything. I highly discourage its use. better off sticking with photos and clippings, makes it easier to credit the sources too.
@@lotusdragonjbh But since when does art need to be anatomically correct? When does light need to be realistic? For me you can play with lots of ideas, and that can spark a creative direction. If you are interested in realism, then fine, a photo is better, but abstraction can be just that abstract. Picasso, Lowry, Bacon, plus a million other artists were not interested in realism, and when searching for ideas, Ai can be an interesting source for inspiration and can be a great starting point.
Not just anatomy but form and setting in general. But since you pointed anatony out- Medical drawings, character reference and turn arounds, painting for different genres , sizing and scaling, drawing posing and action, comic art, foreground middleground and background etc. certin things need to make sense or it looks off and kills immersion. literally the list is smaller for what doesn't need it than does.
And if thats your sentiment, you can literally do all that far easier without gen ai too. You can make it up yourself as you go.
Indeed, for realism, AI is not a good source, but you could generate posture, get ideas for clothing, even play with styles. Not every reference is s about copying the reference, but collecting ideas and inspiration.
AI is not death of artists. AI is the death of the sub artist, that had as art just drawing the company maskot in a new image using a new product. That job willb e gone to AI. But.. creating a new maskot? Even if with help of AI to bring up several concepts to be later tuned, that will still be job of a human for a good while.
AI will for sure take some jobs. You do not need to draw interpolation frames in an animation, the AI can do that. But you will still need artists for that animation movie. That is just another tech revolution, as many that have hit humanity and several fields. It is unavoidable... people need to adapt. You need to become good at things AI cannot be relied upon.
1, she 'punk' spiderman mic stand is totally cute.
2, AI will affect some aspects of art and artists
3, I think Artist can use AI tools to speed up their production. I'm planning to train my own local AI on my own work. Mainly to flat my line art.
As a retired artist, the internet and now AI is choking off this profession at an exponential rate. Well, there’s always openings for non-union baristas at Starbucks 😢
By definition it is not art, only humans can create art which by definition is "human self-expression".
AI generates mashed together images so it makes more sense to call it "AI generated images" (AIGI) or just AI images.
AI is surface level good. But zoom in, look longer than 5 seconds and the illusion falls apart. EVERYONE should glaze their artwork until laws are in place to protect everyone.
I love that you made the last slide to promote the anti AI Scraping
I'd say the impact of A.I. art trades some of the value in creation for curation. The validation for creative effort has decreased (the same way a horse plowing a field has) but the rule of cool is still in play
my guess is that we as a society will eventually get tired of ai generated soulless content, lack of human feeling in products and such, and re-discover the value of human art.. i hope. tho i feel like with how much numb consumerism and anti-intellectualism (?) there is, my guess aint gonna happen in my lifetime :")
Ai is just gonna make the lack of originality problem in mainstream media worse, because instead of artists doing their best with what greedy executives are forcing them to remake and reboot, greedy executives will be copy pasting the same things into ai over and over again without even a hint of variety. In the long run all AI is gonna do is make more people flock to indie animation in search of something authentic.
As a person who likes traditional drawing, knows that it can take years to get down, experiments with his own sketches in AI and uses photoshop regularly. I know AI can go beyond a prompt. A lot of traditional artists i like online use AI. Artist can use their own drawings to train AI replicate their drawings and make their workflow faster. One can take their own drawn sketches, put them in AI and later fix them in photoshop to express their ideas. Art is expression and i think AI cannot replace real artists as AI generates it does not express what you want. In order to get something really satisfying one has to sketch, put that sketch in AI to help with detailing and then go to photoshop and detail further. AI can go beyond the prompt AI for example cannot do a scene, it cannot do text, ai is not exact and does not have human error which can be so unique. As far as taking styles. That is stealing and i don't do it as style is a unique expression of art and taking the style of others is not an expression of yourself. I love technology and in my opinion it can help us advance but companies to make a bigger profit like Hollywood are messing things up. AI can help as reference or to improve work speeds, and when taken beyond a simple prompt can teach a lot to students of art, as traditional art and photoshop are needed to make a simple prompt something that's totally different and can be so unique that it becomes art. Hollywood, gaming companies that act greedy along with folks that are satisfied with just a prompt and taking a style can make AI look like the bad guy. IMO when it comes to stealing I blame humans that steal not AI as AI can be used in more positive ways than negative. I am fascinated with technology but love art at the same time so i can see both sides of the argument and just come to one conclusion. People that want to steal will steal regardless.
I am a beginer artist (practicing digital painting ^-^) and I don't feel it is right to put my baby art online. However, I do post my writing online. I write a lot of web fiction and fan fics and I love posting them on my blog and AO3 for others to read and communicate with my fandom and friends. However, at least as of right now, there is no way to protect online writing from AI scraping and I really wish there was so I could go back to sharing what I love with my friends and fellow fic readers ;-; As of right now, my only option is to just keep my writing to myself, which while not the worst thing (the pressure to perform is gone, yay!), defeats the purpose of using writing and storeytelling as a way to communicate with others and make friends.
AI art will destroy artists for one simple reason - it makes art worthless.
Why care about an image that takes only a few seconds to create? One that requires no skill?
AI art is "throwaway" art, like a paper cup.
Corporations will love AI, of course.
No one else will.
I use AI art to promote my stories, which I don't charge for (I'm a writer). But I'm looking to put out a novel, so I've been soliciting traditional artists for the cover. It's doing something weird to my brain, where all the AI art looks cheap and plastic, and all the human art (even things I remember as being master pieces) looks like a child drew them. I think I'd be happier if all art was left to humans, but AI art has made it feasible for someone like me (not a huge company) to have access to it. It's bittersweet.
If it serves as consolation, its now just art. AI is going to replace several other jobs. We are just the first in line. So, its better that we all get used to change and move on from the old ways. Obviously art won't be 'fully' replaced. Here and there, one or two artists will manage to work as they used to, but, progressively, most of us will loose their jobs and we will have to switch professions. Plain and simple. It is just a matter of time having seeing how things are progressing. To deny this is silliness. I am already changing the kind of art I do for one less under immediate threat, but also knowing that it will be replaced as well in a couple of years. Art as an artesanal human activity, as work, is doomed. Most 'artists' working with art will be AI managers, AI art fixers and curators of AI made art. Let's be honest here, there is no way out. We better be mature and cope with that, letting our art be our hobby in due time. So, enjoy the last era of human made art, save as much money as you guys can and start considering other activities.
i hope a web version of Nightshade will come out. I tried to run Glaze on my PC and it made my computer pretty hot (it also said it would take hours.). Granted, it's kind of old, but I still want to protect my art.
Thank you so much for this video! I think me and alot of other artists really needed something with hope and information on how to fight back on AI art. Definitely trying to figure out how to learn Glaze and Nightshade. I also was wondering how you feel about the Adobe situation and if you are currently looking or going to use other software for your art. I would love to hear your recommendations as a replacement for Photoshop.
reasons on why AI art wont take over all artists jobs, A company provides goods and services for the people so they need to provide things that people actually want, First of all AI art cant be copyrighted meaning they would be providing non copyrighted art which wont end well, second no one wants things made by AI like would you rather read a book made by a person or an AI? obv a person right... If the people dont want things made by AI, companies will be forced to not use AI created things. These are my reasons on why I dont think I will fully take over, also I think Its only booming right now only because its a new thing and its in its spotlight. only time will tell though.
1st of all when did digital artists become the new "real artists"😂😂
Calm down guys, theres room for everyone..
Traditional
3D
Digital 2d
Matte P
Tracers
AI
This ai war has been blown way out of proportion imo
All of this reminds me of the prescient points Amy Webb made in The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity. Side note: seek out her thoughts on accountability chain.
Thank you for this. I think the issue here is folks NEED to fast track this particular flavor of artificial intelligence before we get to AGI. I am reminded of the Cleo Abram video where she used gen ai alongside a digital artist friend. He got better results because he knew what to ask. The advancement since then has been on lowering the bar to access. Not expanding the range of utility. The solutions you have presented are necessary spikes in the yellow brick road. The [non-artists] making the decisions have made it clear they will only be held accountable if caught.
Um. I hope WIX isnt stealing art to feed into an AI.
I did not think of that being a possibility until you mention squarespace. I was using it for portfolio but i might just delete.
I'm concern now about that too
