    I just realised how these AI generated images could potentially confuse things in the future when it comes to historical research, if any of these images get saved and misplaced and miscategorised by people not knowing better or just by mistake. It likely wont happen any time soon, except perhaps in armature circles, but as time goes on if care isn't taken then I wonder if the odds of this getting mixed up could grow.

    I don't think so. I mean, people continue to paint knock-off "historical" portraits (of celebrities, for instance) and I'm not aware of any of those ever getting confused for an actual historical piece. And researchers in the future, with AI being more widespread by an order of magnitude presumably, will be hyper-aware of that potential pitfall. I think the larger issue is going to be with intentional falsification of history rather than with the accidental kind.

    The thing with AI is it's not actually "artificial intelligence", it's just imitative programs. It's of course going to pull some elements of historical accuracy like silhouette, textile details, etc because it is directly copying from historical portraits from the eras you are specifying. The problem is it's not actually "intelligence", and it has no ability to actually understand what it is copying and why, so that's why you get details like a waist girdle being turned into a necklace.

  • @wakingcharade

    11 ай бұрын

    if it were directly copying it'd be way better at it than what this is showing. What its actually doing is trying to come up with its own map of context based entirely on the massive amount of images its been given. it takes a random mix of pixels and then runs it back through its own image identifying algorithm searching for which change in the pixels brings it closer to pinging as the prompt query. So its moving pixels around until it gets a vague "historical portrait of a woman in the 1570s" vibe off what its made. if it were just cutting bits of actual portraits and shuffling them around, you'd expect ruffs that look like ruffs not vaguely approximately ruff suggesting pixels

Though I believe there should be some level to how AIs should be classified (like calling them by 1st or 2nd generations or level 1 or 2) Idk, my research into AIs are superficial at most, but even imitative programs are still AI.

As far I can see Bernadette did not specify Western European portraiture but she got images of pretty fair skinned folks and ""historical dress""" from mostly western Europe. I wish the AI had generated some portraits from some other parts of the world or cultures. There is nothing wrong with European history, but I would love to see some more varied cultural dress when searching like this (this goes for search engine results as well)

    I wonder if just inputting the search terms in another language would change the results. While search engines can generally translate between searches and results, they do tend to give you more results in the language you searched for. And there's probably a lot more English sources about white Europeans than, say, Egyptian fashion. Try searching in Arabic and see what you get. So the issue goes beyond machines, and back to general western-eurocentrism, sinces machines can only be as "smart" as the humans that build them (or supply data). But yeah! I wonder if one day we can "teach" machines the social situations and implications, like Bernatte also mentions in the video, and if machines then would make an effort to actively consider those factors and try to even them out.

    I disagree. I was writing up family recipes, with the idea of a small run of books, for friends and family. I'd started making the dishes, photographing them. That's a huge amount of work. So with AI, I switched. Please generate me a water colour of "describe the dish". I want a white background etc. You get the gist. You tweak the results and there you are. Picture generated, cut and paste, job done. It gives a far more pleasing result. It would have taken me over a year's work to paint the same. Somethings don't work. For example paint me a picture of a roast goose, mixed feathers and roast, with odd anatomy. The same way AI has problems with fingers, and I hasten to add, lots of other artists too. But there are solutions to that. Teach the AI from 3d models for example.

    Yeah they lack an internal model of the world, which is why we should really call these image generators Diffusion Models or GANs- it lacks an understanding of humans, clothes, fashion (intelligence), instead it just associates certain groups of pixels from its training data with certain prompts. It doesn't first construct the concept of a human in Europe in the 1860s of a certain class, poses the model, and paints in the style of the time, it only have pixels and numbers. Of course to go beyond that means you'll have something approaching an artificial general intelligence

    Such a fun video! An interesting aspect of these generative "AI" programs is that they aren't trained to understand the context of what they're producing. They're "learning" from the examples fed into them but only for the purpose of reproducing an amalgamation of examples with tagged keywords, and those keywords are very important to why things likely didn't turn out well (for the "AI"). Many of the sources used for training probably didn't have a year stamp in the way you attempted to use it, they probably had many training images with vague tags like "17th century" or "Victorian", and whether the learning algorithm actually learned what years are in each century or when certain historical periods occured is impossible to know because of the black box nature of these generative "AI" programs. They don't even know what faces are in any deeper understanding, they probably just know them as the smudgy skin coloured things above the skinny bit (neck) above the broad straighter bit (torso) above the split thinner sticks (legs) that sometimes bend in the middle (knees). Whether it even knows the nuance of portrait (as in portraiture) vs portrait (as in portrait vs landscape) is also impossible to know. While they're constantly improving, they won't grow in knowledge. They'll just figure out eventually that human fingers don't fuse together when hands are interlocked, but they'll never know how they peed in those gigantic dresses 😊

    Not only that, but because of how the generation is done (effectively squinting at noise and asking how to add detail to it, if I can anthropomorphise it), it will mistake similar looking things hence the "taken the waist girdle and put it up as a necklace". It associates that imagery with "1560", but can't know where it's meant to go. I think in the future image generation models will have more context for imagery and I can see the start of it happening. I'm not really a fan of AI art because of both how the training images were aquired with all the problems of not getting consent, using private medical images, not paying for usage of images, and the general state of the community which just seems to hate and mock artists in general while often stealing their work, but the technology behind it is very interesting and I hope people learn more about how these models work.

    I had a suspicion that the portraits would get more accurate the more modern the time period became- the more images that are available in the training database, the more patterns the machine can recognize and reproduce. We simply have less portraits from the 1500s than we do from the 1800s, so I had a theory that once we got past the wide adoption of the printing press and photography, the AI images would become more accurate because there'd be more references to train on. It's crazy how we have hundreds if not thousands of portraits from the 1500s in Europe (not to mention surviving garments) that would allow historians to make confident guesses about what things should look like, but a thousand different images of X is a very very tiny drop in the bucket of the billions of images that comprises its training database, so the AI can't (yet) do the same competently. The AI doesn't even KNOW what patterns it's recognizing beyond the fact that it appears in other images with the same keyword attached. Regardless, it made sense that the Edwardian portraits were the most passable 😅

    I think something we should pay particular attention to is the language we use around "AI" art as opposed to human art. Like, here Bernadette sometimes goes "I can see what _they_ were going for", like she does when rating historical costume dramas. This is probably just a slip of the tongue, but also... the thing is, no one was going for anything. There was no human involvement in these pictures. And I think we should be careful not to get that mixed up. Language is the first step to normalisation, after all.

    Thanks a lot for, at least, mentioning the ethical problems of using AI art Bernadette! For those who doesn't know, tools like Midjourney uses art and images from other creators and authors without consent for generate any art piece. I wouldn't see any problem with this idea used as a tool and i see the potential and the possibilities as, for example, a composition tumbnails generator. However, any of the AI art generator is ethically unsustainable. The people surrounding this phenomena is trying to damage the careers of so many artist on purpose. Not to talk that most of them were created by people who do not believe in "giving credit to the artist". The current "database" of images programs like this use to pick parts and ideas to generate images from, are other people art that was harvested by this tools without consent. What it seems a cute or even meme-y tool is actually a great damage to artist from any kind! (however they are working on the industry or not) Currently, artist are gathering around to fight legally the abuse of this tools by reclaiming our rights of image use. Artist like Carla Ortiz and other great concept artist even brought the subject to Washington so the conditions of AI use in art is fairly regulated and used properly without scraping and scavingin from other people work to make shallow and quick to consume art. I wish more people start hearing artist and so many people that are being damaged by this before using it even to make funny or lighthearted content. I believe that AI use can be interesting and useful, but not at expense of other people hardwork and image rights.

The AI doesn't have any understanding of what the words in the prompt mean, so if European portraiture is more associated with gregorian calendar years and Asian artwork is more associated with other calendars or period descriptors like Meiji Restoration then you will tend to get more European from just inputting a year. However there is also inherent bias for non-technical reasons. All it cares about is "when someone asks for this keyword are they usually happy with this result". So it reproduces biases from its audience and also from the decisions of what artwork was significant enough to be included in its training set. If people are more often expecting to see European artwork and give it positive feedback when it generates it, you'll also see more European results.
