AI vs Hand painted - should I give up?

AI art is still quite a big topic on the internet. There are still many artists who are understandably worrying about being replaced by AI. Aside from all the ethical debate surrounding this topic, I’m not a big supporter of using AI to create a painting. So, I did a bit of an experiment, and I want to share the process with you today.

    Plus the skills you learn and the process you go through by actually producing an image, be it through painting or drawing, are much more valuable, as the AI is only focused on an end result. It lacks any kind of satisfaction, much in the same way as looking for stock images.

    I have generated thousands of AI images and I have also been a traditional artist for the last fifty years. You are on the right track. AI will never achieve the artistic merit and ingenuity of human made works of art. I find generating it fun and inspiring. But it has no "soul" (imho). It can come close, but it is not as good as human made art.

    AI will never be able to replace a human artist. I've toyed with AI image generation for a while now and have found it to be more miss than hit. It all comes down to this; AI lacks heart and soul. These can not be replaced by algorithms. Art is an expression of the heart and mind in an effort to communicate concepts, ideas, and feeling.

This often is a matter of light vs. dark, contrast and feeling! That's one of the reasons I don't wish to paint photo realism. I want the viewer to catch a glimpse of what I saw that made me want to capture it in watercolor. Why else would anyone want to paint!

    Painters gave up because photography? no. There's no reason to feel threatened to give up because AI exist. I found that its existence only has given more value to the process. Since everyone can have the final piece in few seconds we start to value what AI can't give: The artistic experience of the process, the pain, the struggle to find your own view and make it show up in a canvas. If someones gives up because AI exist, that person never truly loved art in first place.

    I've been to Japan several times, stayed near Shinjuku, but traveled to the country on weekends... Tokyo itself is surprising in its little magical corners, unexpected green places... And, getting out, into small towns, or an inn in the mountains, reveals how underrated, or misunderstood, Japan is as a beautiful and quiet destination, not so much as a "tourist", maybe, but as someone who can take in both the natural beauty and the historical elements... And, indeed, many, many "paintable" moments and scenes. But the "AI"doesn't put down a wash, or pull up a bit of pigment, or "feel" any frustration or joy in the process or the result. Keep on putting passion to paper!

    After watching only about 6 minutes I had to stop and shout a „Yes, exactly, you are SO right!“ I've been playing around on the nightcafe platform a little bit. Yes, it's impressive, and in my opinion AI can be a nice source of inspiration if you don't have a specific picture in your head that you what to paint or draw. But it can never replace the fun of painting or even replace if you want to paint a specific scene. What I noticed too: Most people use it for very similiar images like dragons, mystic women or wizards, demons, or comic-like animals. Which gets boring quite quickly. And now I'll keep on enjoing you video (I just found your channel today). Greetings from Germany/France. On 30:33: This fits perfect! 🙂

The voice-over immediately got my attention. That voice was so familiar. You did a wonderful job with it. The entire video was captivating. I purchased it.

    As a watercolor artist I use Midjourney for roughly 12 months now and I have learned to make beautiful reference images and suggestions for your actual painting. I can understand that people are anxious about AI stuff as it competes with what real people are doing and maybe in future it is even doing it better. You don't get an idea of what Midjourney is capable to do in just a few hours, it takes at least some week. Also the functionality changed much over time as all is still pretty much work in progress and it will change in the future. What is true is that you will always only get an approximation of what you have in mind as AI will never produce the same picture twice. Having said this, I still like the process of watercolor painting over creating a picture with Ai and I believe there will alway be a room for handcrafted original art.

    Another very important point regarding A.I. artwork is that the image is only in the computer, and unless you have a giclee printer you are not going to get it onto a nice Arches or Reeves, etc., quality paper. Also the ink in a printer that the general public can get their hands on is not going to lay on the paper, be absorbed by the paint like a quality watercolor paint is going to do. Nor will A.I. generated prints replace print-making, as an art, as the ink from a printing press has a very different viscus quality to modern printers. The inks are not the same composition as the traditional press' inks, whether they are oil based or of a newer water-color base. So the way in which the ink sits on the paper is inferior, and this can be seen by the naked eye, if you look at how the inks sit on the paper. This is also the case with lithography stone printing; which has its own idiosyncratic qualities. So take heart, fellow artists! Until they improve those issues we have job security.

    As an engineer with rather a lot of experience in neural networks, deep learning, and machine intelligence, I can assure you: Telling the computer what you want it to do is every bit as hard as doing it yourself. It's just that instead of learning to move your hand in the right way, you are learning to articulate the precise result you want. One of these is a physical skill, and the other is a verbal skill. However, there is a fairly important issue with the machine: we do not have enough training data to make it very much better at doing what you want. When you are learning to paint, it is fairly easy to become better at (say) painting boats. But machine learning isn't linear, it's exponential. If you want it to get a little bit better, you need a lot more training data. We are very nearly at the point where there simply isn't any more training data. The machine demands more data to improve than the human race is producing, which will bring progress from the machine to a screeching halt. I doesn't matter how fast or how well the machine ingests data - which are the major improvements that have driven the current crop of generative models - if there is simply no more data to ingest. Human beings do not have this limitation. The loudly-repeated lie that the machine is going to get better and better and you cannot stop it will, in time, be seen for the wishful thinking it is. Because the machine is NOT going to get better. We don't have and can't get what it needs to be better.

    The biggest issue is that the data used to be trained has been done so regardless of copyrights. The fact that so many artists have their paintings used against their will in order to be able to plagiarize their style is hardbreaking. I hope the court cases will be successful ... Algorithms that have been trained with ill obtained data have to be destroyed and ethically rebuilt

Plus I have to agree about what many have already said in that when you buy actual art by an artist, you’re also buying into that artist and who they are, not just a neat-o image. Prompting is more like being an art director or a fussy client lording over a commission than an artist. Yes it takes an eye for things and some creativity to prompt, but it’s not the same as being the artist. AI is the production artist here. Anyone who has worked on the commercial side of art gets what I’m talking about. 😉

    I don't think AI will replace artists at all. AI allows humans to collaborate with machines more and more efficiently. But yes AI generates via inference (meaning best guess). It struggled with consistency from one image to another (due to its inference nature) and this is a very basic thing. The level of interaction between human and machine is also still rudimentary as you mentioned. There is a workstream of AI rendering dedicated to realtime user input eg. Krita or realtime canvas. This will evolve into something where the user can draw on a digital canvas for the larger objects (available now) then zero in on details for small sections within the image to have AI render finer details. For instance I needed a tie in my photo instead of a bowtie so I was able to draw a straight yellow line and since the prompt includes a tie, AI transformed that straight line into a regular necktie. This saved me a trip to get a headshot (which I would have edited afterwards anyway). Most of the effort thus far in AI has not been to assist artists yet, it has been to allow layers of inference on top of inference. After it gets through its basic stages there will be more tools specifically to aid artists.

    Art is exclusively an expression of humanity, when I look at any painting from the past I know that every brush stroke and every decision was made by a living breathing human with experiences, thoughts and emotions. For many artists their art is perhaps the only living evidence that they existed and that a part of their soul lived on. Just the act of making art is in itself not possible without a human being with something to say about their experience on earth.

    Art is about the making. What is significant is what happens to a person when they create. It doesn't matter if a computer can paint "better" than you, there's a person who can paint better than you also. That never stopped anybody before. Art isn't about the thing that is made. It is about the effect of making on the maker. The pieces are like footprints that only record the progress of the walker. The walk from point a to point b is the actual work. It doesn't matter if a computer can also make "footprints".

    Ai can provide inspiration for an idea, a launchpad of sorts, but however good the image, it's still an empty vessel. I can see a time when art, music and literature will require a declaration from the artist that no machine intervention was used in the creation process. To claim that I would never buy computer generated art would be a non-starter for me. I did in fact buy a computer drawn sketch for £5 from Harold Cohen at a museum exhibition in Cardiff, Wales in 1984, then it was a curiosity and a far cry from the quality we are seeing today. I still have it.

    Art, any form of art, is the expression of the human soul. Dancing is an expression of the soul. Singing, playing music, is an expression of the soul. Painting, drawing , inking is an expression- they all convey human emotion in a surreal way, you can communicate a hundred emotions with any form of art, and AI lacks that. It has no hard work poured into it, it has no soul, people live on through art , the dancer relives it every dance done by someone else and the painter lives through what he he puts into a canvas. AI is just soulless numbers computing into some algorithm. It may look technically pleasing, but It’ll never have the blood sweat and tears a human leaves behind in their work through years of passion for their art.

    I think AI art will be used extensively for commercial purposes, where 'vibe' is the focus rather than nailing down a very specific detail. So for commercial artists, AI art is really going to largely replace/displace/shrink the industry significantly. Where art is created for the personal experience, or the personal story, where the art is connected to the artist who specifically makes it, then AI won't be able to replace that kind of art, because it comes from a personal desire to create.

    There are artists and there are non artists. A non artist is someone who never learned the basics of art. Which is composition, perspective, proportion. The use of the medium and the tools to work on it. An artist must have something clear in mind to start a painting, yes. If he is not clear towards what he aims at, what he'll end up with, is coincidence of using medium and material. It can happen that an already skilled artist gets a truly impressive result by being un-aimed. It can happen that a non artist gets an impressive result when he puts his heart and soul into a painting. It might be out of proportion and out of perspective but at least it would appear as well composed through coincidence. The chances that this might happen, are very low though. I would think that artists, compared to non artists would always have better results. Since they train themselves to use the brush in a confident way and make safe strokes instead of unsafe ones. Non artists fiddle around, artists un-learned to fiddle. So, it's non artists who like to produce AI-generated works, calling it "art". The results appear as artful and impressive, but what is the point in telling a machine the specifics since - how you rightly pointed out - no matter how specific you get, the AI won't generate what you have in mind because it's not a mind reader. So, logically, as someone who wants to produce a piece of art through AI, I have nothing really specific in my mind but un-specific, and I let myself being impressed by the result, since I wasn't expecting its outcome. I enjoy the randomness as a surprise, for example. What I then am, is not an artist but a typer of text commands. The less commands I give the machine, the more I leave it to coincidence. The more commands I type in, the more specific I become. If I type something, the machine generates something, I'm not satisfied and type more, the machine generates something, I might come to the conclusion that I've learnt to become more text-specific. That's not a bad thing if you train yourself towards achieving a precise messaging. But that doesn't make me an artist and it doesn't turn the AI result into art. What it does do is make me realise how to communicate with a computer program so that instructions are understood. It's quite helpful when you notice that you can also talk to people better if you use definitions correctly. On the other hand, it gives me a sense of power because the AI obeys my commands. Ultimately, art loses its meaning when it can be created in abundance and in just a few minutes. The sheer mass of results of computer-generated images and texts runs away from all contemplation if contemplation is limited to a second's viewing and then the next click makes you forget the whole thing. In order to find out whether a work was created by a person or a machine, it is now only accepted that the process itself is documented on film. This means that people record themselves creating their work. But even this can soon be simulated, so that no one can ever be sure whether they are seeing a human or a machine. The only way to find out is to leave the internet and enter the physical world.
