The AI Proompter And The Dismal Futur of Graphic Design | Episode 137 | Elliott Earls

Episode 137
🎥 *I don't write my video descriptions. I let ChatGPT do it based on the title.
Here's a link to the Futur video that I'm reacting to:
• Is THIS The Future Of ...
Welcome back to another provocative deep-dive! Today we're cutting through the digital noise to explore the far-reaching effects of the #AIPrompter on the #FutureOfGraphicDesign, framed through underground trends like #DAOs, #Web3, and #CryptoArt.
#### Crux of the Matter 🎯
Long gone are the days when a graphic designer's toolset was just Photoshop and Illustrator. Enter AI Prompter-a machine learning (#MachineLearning) monster, generating everything from minimalist logos to intricate website layouts. It’s not just redesigning our jobs; it's rebooting our whole reality.
#### Topics Covered 🔥
- The Rise and Impact of the AI Prompter (#AIPrompterImpact)
- Creative Prompting vs. Authentic Design (#PromptingVsDesign)
- The Workplace: From Office Cubicles to DAOs (#FutureOfWork)
- The Clash of Meme Culture & Web 3.0 (#MemeCultureVsWeb3)
- Counter Culture: AI Anarchists & Keyboard Warriors (#CounterCultureAI)
- The De-humanization Wave: From Gig Economy to Blockchain Labor (#DehumanizationWave)
#### Fresh off the Subreddit 🤓
In this episode, we delve into hidden corners of the internet where underground tech trends reside. From decentralized autonomous organizations (#DAOs) redefining team structures to how the Metaverse (#Metaverse) is hosting virtual art galleries, we've got the hot takes. We’ll even dip our toes into how #DeFi is revolutionizing the way we think about value in the design process.
#### Who Should Tune In 📺
Calling all #DigitalNomads, #ContentCreators, and self-proclaimed #TechGeeks! Whether you’re a #SneakerheadDesigner or someone who’s contemplated the artistic merits of an #NFTPepe, this content is curated just for you.
#### Why You Can't Afford to Scroll Past This 🛑
As AI becomes increasingly capable, we risk turning into #KeyboardZombies, mindlessly tweaking parameters instead of sparking original thought. And let’s not forget the ethical quagmire of AI-generated #DeepfakeArt and what that means for the ownership of creative work in the #DecentralizedFuture.

    I thought with digital painting we already learned that quicker process to finished product means more product for less money. You don't have more time because that freed up time is devoted to getting out more product to compensate for the lower pay rates. It's pretty obvious that's how this plays out.

    The problem with AI is that what it makes IS NOT YOUR CREATION, it might look like what you wanted it to look like, but IT IS NOT created by you. AI is not "your vision", and when making decisions by hand, you discover changes you want to make, designing is trial and error, and AI doesn't make errors, at least not the one they are striving to make. Even if you overpaint AI image, the base of imagining is not yours, and if you are honest with yourself, you will always know that it in not your design, that you collaborated with laundered version of millions of artists without their premission, AI in current state is immoral, always.

    Has anyone ever tried the exercise of drawing with your non-dominant hand? People often find that while the drawing is sloppy, the design is cleaner somehow, because you're drawing more with your mind than with the habits of your primary hand. I say this because it's probably vain to assign some sacredness to the work of one's hand, which is probably more often guided by habit than by divine inspiration. What if an artist was paralyzed, but still wanted to produce images, so he hires a draftsman to dictate his pictures to. Through the whole process he is making verbal adjustments: "slightly to the left, more square on top, mix in more green, brighten that up. Let's try it in pen instead, etc..." Sometimes he can tell the draftsman: "try like ten random things here and We'll work from the one I like best" Even though this artists hand never participates, I would still say that it is his vision that is being put on the page, and not the draftsman's. Have you never imitated another artist's style without their permission?

    @@radioforthebirds "try like ten random things here" is the key here, those are random things created by this draftsman, and he will never be detatched from the final product, it is his experience that is giving live and expression to the piece, even if it is on someone's command. The fact that this vision matches the vision of person commenting, it is just that, vision. The paralysed one is not the creator here, he is not expressing anything through the piece, the draftsmen is expressing those things for him. The image created here is a comission, and is not a creation of said paralyzed person, no matter how brutal that is to read, this is not their expression, it is just an expression that matches well enough to what they'd like to see. Paralyzed argument is a really bad strawman, it serves only to set unrealistic expectation to base your whole argument on, and not even 1% of AI users will work like this. And no, I have not imitated any artist without premission, but if I did, it wouldn't be immoral, because Thought process of humans is different to that of neural system AI learning, people don't decompose noise, they decompose abstractions, and even if we did make copy of human brain as machine, why would we again give machines any rights? It's not like we allow machines to do anything humans can, we don't allow machines to shoot people instead of police, we don't allow robots to record people, there is a difference in scale of what human can do and analyze, and what machine can do. Copyright law was created as insentive for people to share their art without the fear of someone taking it, and reselling, or using it to directly devalue original creator's market share. What insentive do artists have to share their new stuff online if it can be fed to machine to generate 1000 more without their help, this will stagnate the art forever, and if you are at least a bit honest with yourself you will see that this is not a solution that can work long term, how do we pay person who trained 20 years for your entertainment (art) of course, by taing the result of their work, and throwing original author away, because you don't have to pay machine.

    @@HumanBeing2137 I don't think it's like existentially brutal since it's just your personal definition of expression. In my opinion, a film can be a director's expression, even though they don't participate in every aspect of the production. Some films are made where it could have been directed by anyone, yet some films bear the distinctive style of a strong director in every element. It seems pretty clear to me that Quentin Tarantino has a recognizable style in his films, and I would call those films his vision and expression. But I can assume from you definition that he would have had to build every prop by hand and speak every line and play all this music himself for the film to be his expression. There's the expression of each independent element, but there is also the meta-expression of how to select and combine the elements. I think that the AI tools offer an unprecedented way for artists to refine their ability for meta-expression, for an interesting vision rather than "mere" technical execution. I do believe that most artist have to get their first 1000 bad pictures out of the way before they start to produce something interesting, and this is a good way to to get those pictures out of their system fast. I think there's some distinction to be made between craft and expression. I came up with the extreme example of a paralyzed artist to fully separate craft from expression, and to point out that even though the product can be the craft of someone else, the expression lies in all the choices of what to illustrate, when, how, in what format, in what colors, with what shapes. I think there is much art just in making interesting choices. It's just another tool, and the artist with 20 years experience is going to come up with much more interesting results than someone who just wants to see Jack Sparrow with Hard Abs or something. Those 20 years represent not only physical craft, but also a refinement of taste, sensitivity to composition, knowing how to reject the cliche, etc. so I don't think they have that much to fear in terms of loss of work. The best chess players are still the best chess players, and the engines give them fresh and truly novel ideas that centuries of human theory and bias overlooked. I think we can expect a similar flourishing of fresh ideas from AI... and the best artists are still going to be the best artists because they know how to recognize them.

    @@radioforthebirds yes, AI user is more akin to customer than a director, you see, the problem is that AI is not some magic box, it is cobination of weights that are representation of certain existing ideas, you can't create anything that doesn't approximate something it has been trained on. By your definition customer at sandwich shop is a director, and the product is his expression, it is exactly what he describes he wants, but it wasn't made by him, even directors of films don't get copyright for their works, only producer does, because ideas can't be copyrighted, yet expressions can. As brutal as it may sound, paralyzed person is just not in luck if they want to truly create something, they mostly can't, and this romantic idea that reality can be whatever you want, just because it would be nice, is just a delusion. You are laundering not only draftsmenship of millions of artists who didn't constent to it, but also their ideas and personal touch that they gained through years of training and mistakes. Ordering pizza is directing, and directing is a form of art, but the fact that film matches vision that director had, doesn't mean it is his expression, it is an expression of every person who taken part in it's crafting. Vision of paralyzed person is an idea, and if they speak it, those words are an expression of the idea, but to express idea visually you have to have direct control over somethin, AI controlls itself, you can ask it to change things in certain areas, but ultimately it is AI who has FULL control over what comes out

    @@HumanBeing2137 It's not so obvious that the human brain can create anything it hasn't been trained on either.. And actually yes, I'd say that if your sandwich order is distinct and unique enough that it is recognizably yours, then it is your creative expression. The person who invents a new recipe is more creative than the person who cooks by it. The local sandwich shop might even name your sandwich after you, if enough people say, "hey I want what that guy is having." There is the potential to just order the sandwich #3, or you have the opportunity to be creative. Ai art offers the same opportunities. I'm pretty sure an idea can be copyrighted.. Disney will sue me if I go selling paintings of Aladdin, even if I make them fully by hand. But I don't think they can sue me for drawing in the style of Glen Keane. Plenty of artist copy the style of other artists, this isn't something you can suddenly ban because the process has become mechanized. There's no such thing as "the brutal truth" here.. we each have our definition of creativity and expression - those definitions are semantic tools designed for some purpose. I think you'd be more convincing if you were just up front with your purpose rather than claiming to know the brutal truth about reality or whatever.

    The copyright issue is also massive. It truly saddens me when I see people basically saying 'Let these companies steal everything that every existed to make billions, simply because they are the first to do it.' If an AI model was trained on the work of humans, how can anything that it creates be it's own? And before you say 'people do the same thing!' AI are not people. Even 100 years from now, if we still exist in a society that resembles this one, a hyper-intelligent AI will still not be a person. It is not deriving inspiration from work and creating it's own. It's scraping details and emulating work to enrich it's creator.

    @@StudioPractice1 I'm a writer by trade and comedian (who does not get paid) so I empathize with visual artists. While live comedy may have a decade or two before AI can emulate what we do, the work I am paid for (copy/ideation) has already seen a massive shift. Something else I find strange is these hyper-intelligent, hyper-fast AI's are seemingly incapable of producing an audit of what work was used in creating it's output. I'd ask anyone supporting AI as the 'future of everything,' do you actually believe a system that can create copy, video, images that dynamic at that speed is actually incapable of reporting where / from whom it pulled that data? Do you think that's by design or simply a constraint of the system? The entire thing reminds me of Bitcoin. Not in the technology but the narrative around it. They told everyone it was the future of currency, but the people at the top knew exactly what it was. A long con, a rug pull from the start. A way to multiply capital. Its use as currency was only leveraged by people buying drugs on a Tor browser. If in 10 years it was revealed that Satoshi was a conglomerate of US/UAE/Indian billionaires, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. AI is inevitable, but trust this: there are human beings behind its design that do not care about what the future looks like as long as they get theirs.

    The surface response to ML based art generation tools is that they will give us more time to think about what we want to do, but the reality is that it will only create a situation where we will be expected to produce more and that more will be devoid of meaning because it will be devoid of thought. I had lead a team of retouchers years ago in ecommerce and we had targets of 100-200 images a day, EACH , with these tools that number could easily become 2 - 4 times higher, do the math and that means in an 8 hour day you have 1.2 minutes to work on an image and check it for errors and fix what automation misses. Using ML to generate moodboard images? sure but imagine being expected to crank out multiple high quality and polished designs a day? from idea to final deliverable, that sounds hellish

    All these evangelist types choose to ignore the entirely real and tangible absence of an incentive for bosses to trickle down the blessings of time and freedom. The owners of this tech are the Gilded Age robber barons 2.0. And just as 18th century factory owners brought us such benefits as child labor, 16hr days, black lung, etc. while displacing artisans of all stripes, so will AI. The idea that any boss would let you daydream big concepts 7 hours a day because your 8 hours of deliverables got done in 1 is preposterous. They will pile 700% more on (as you say) or simply liquidate staff altogether. The joke on them, however, is that the clients will do the same to their agency. Chris Do has made a successful career out of sheer force of will, but he’s foolish to think he’s any more immune than the rest of us. And with Adobe going full steam ahead to decimate the pro market in favor of an exponentially larger consumer/hobbyist model, shit is gonna get real nuts real quick.

    You've got some very good points. The tech bros crypto fanatic mentality that has come with this is what we dont need. AI is not going to let us have more free time to do whathever we want. No, it's going to make us work more with less money since everyone will expect you to use these tools to be more "productive". On the other hand though, based on my own practice, there can be a craft in using such tools. It is def not the majority, but a small minority of creatives use such tools as a craft, dwelling in how it works and creating things that wouldnt have been possible before. I really like the term synthography because I feel it makes this clear distinction between AI artist and someone who uses such tools to create something meaningful and intentional.. Besides that, I'm happy to see your opinion on this, as I remember you from your talk at UNIBZ years ago, which really inspired me to do my own work!

    This is just going to accelerate the homogenization of art. “AI” as people understand it is nothing more than fancy linear algebra and statistics. It is as good as what you put into it. If everyone becomes a proompter, there will be nothing new to train the AI on. As people use it more and reinforce certain results, stuff will start looking more of the same. Eventually we will just reach a sort of singularity where everything looks exactly the same. That will be a hell that we have created for ourselves. This is being driven by our insatiable obsession with technique and efficiency. Companies will buy into it to save money because they don’t understand art anyway. It’s cheaper to tell stacy from HR to watch 10 minute tutorials on proompting than to hire a full time GD.

    This cycle happens repeatedly in human history, where new tools come along that make previous trades obsolete. Artists have been largely spared from this because the nature of art was so difficult to automate. The only counter to this is to increase the general public's education (actually having people understand the value of the craft of art, but I am 100% black pilled this is not the direction humanity will go, because it's too counter to human nature..) AI entering into the arts is different than other industries being automated because, well if you are an aesthetic-ist, art is a type of spirituality for you and we believe art is an interface with God or the sublime etc, but all the ease of access to technology and VR and unlimited content, it will be a battle for the human spirit. I really see no alternative, this will permeate every aspect of our lives where there will still be /TRAD/ art, but what if someone makes it with a prosthetic? What if that prosthetic can increase someone's speed of output? Is it still trad? These are the divides that are going to happen (across the arts (not even considering about general white collar skills)), and there will be a type of Luddite cult that will refuse all advancements, and there will be people that see the inevitability and "how can you say no bro, it will double your gains?"... the only reason you can have to say no is if you believe hand crafted work is a direct link to the human soul...

An artist with a strong conception of something and a specific way of rendering his ideas is more powerful and appealing to me than some kind of computerised, slick but vanilla output from an AI portal. I hope I'm not being Pollyanna-ish about this, but it does feel like there's a qualitative difference there. And that's a glint of hope.

    AI is just another step forward in a long line of technologies that came along with moving design out of the hand and onto a computer, or really, any media that has the capacity for copy-paste. Clip art CDs to free fonts and photos, every web cms, Canva/PS Express has removed layer after layer of skill, vision and expertise for ‘good enough.’ Anything without scarcity has no cash value. AI simply makes it so that not even the receptionist who ‘likes doing that creative stuff’ has to make a copy themself. I include the precarious intern class and offshoring as technology, however the ‘copy’ here is metaphorical… the faceless commodity of interchangeable human assets act as copies in the assembly line

Would you have an issue with AI if it becomes sufficient enough quality to replace the other people in the set? An AI which allows anyone to be a director. Obviously this seems very sad for us since it is removing a lot of the human components, but in this case would the merits and creativity of the director be the same?

No. The work will be devaluated and so you end up doing as much, and often more work to nearly earn the same as you did before.

    I would argue that the thesis from a lot of people, artists, society, that "AI is so far advanced, why bother with that work?" is rudimentary in its positioning. This conflation of intelligence (what they believe AI is) and formulaic computing is doing nothing but prompting in itself an argument by the people who don't use the tools of making. Art can only be art because its an immediate reflection on synapses built and bred on experience, emotion, logic, illogic, language. A computer, a program, can only do what we tell it to do - and we can't tell it to be us, me, you, or sentient. AI is a misnomer, it's math using language we recognize.

    I can foresee the AI tool will only add more work to a workflow since the client will demand more for less. Clients may just purchase a subscription to an Art director AI to handle their needs. The artist will be reduced creatively since its no longer a learning discovery process. Art exploration will be reduced to exchange of words for images. The dullness of prompting will kill the will for an Artist to create and psychological burnout will take over. I experienced life before the internet and lived during home computing and I see it as a way for Capitalism to exploit tech and humans for efficiency of less time to make more money. Artists need money to live but at what costs? The genie is out and we have Hans Ruedi Giger to thank for giving us insight into a dark future!?!

    A prompting class is literally just an art history/analysis class. You develop the language to describe an image in its historical style, its composition, lighting, materials used, etc. Any time you are learning to describe a picture with language you are learning to proompt. I've observed people with no particular art education trying to write prompts, and they really don't know what to ask for, and especially don't know how to discern from among the images which ones are impressive-but-cliche, and which ones offer something surprising and compelling.

I like to think of AI as a tool that can assist in similar ways. We will soon see a new form of art that gets closer to and closer to a pure concept, likely mixed media.

    I find the prospect of prompting as a skill set completely mundane. The whole AI conversation is embalmed in this milquetoast postulating towards some vague sense of convenience. What I find terrifying is how easily people are ok with giving up a fundamental component of art and image making. I’m reminded of one of your early episodes “the other 40 hours” where you talk about the artist and designer needing to be committed to putting in the work in order to make it. Why do you think it is that in all this talk of AI, the idea of no longer being the one to craft the art object is never anywhere on anyone’s mind.? We save 40 hours to… ‘think’ more? What does that mean? To me, those 40 hours are a kind of thought you can’t do any other way.

    It's not about realizing your vision faster or not. Those paying for graphic design don't care for any "vision". They might pressure a designer to get their idea "right" but that's only because they're paying a human and want to feel they're getting their money's worth. When they can get something out just from AI, it wont be about vision anymore. It will just be all about it being cheaper, and they will settle on one of the variations the AI can give them, as opposed to be fussy about some exact idea.

    It's honestly over, you're gonna have to prompt no matter if you like it or not it can generate several close to finished images every 10 seconds, finished enough that your CEO isn't going to care about the hands or whatever stuff you think is important. Even worse, he's going to lean over your shoulder and add "4K, 8K, ultra high detail, trending on tiktok, masterpiece" to your prompt. Doesn't matter if you have what you consider a unique style, it can be cloned from 8 images in 45 minutes and then accelerate the same as any other style from the model. Artists are right to be scared.

Endless hours of human beings designing everything from ads to logos to editorial layout. Every mouse click, every button push, every method and technique, all of that data.... flowing right to Adobe. Now all that data can be refined into extremely powerful machine learning data sets. No, there will NOT be any "prompter" jobs. Nonsense. Machine learning generative AI will completely take over the majority of graphic design jobs across the board.

    My comment is that we are moving towards a big explosion of abundance in terms of content. Anybody will be able to create anything, thus it will be rendered useless. This is something you can already see with social media where people tend to doomscroll. As a zombie they are wasting their time just scrolling through near infinite amounts of content. With AI it actually could be infinite amount of content. This means that how crazy/scary/sexy/cool/whatever you can imagine you can see. Thus (as Plato separates the ideas and forms) I think (or WISH) that a new form of appreciation of the idea aka the concept will emerge. WHY is something designed like this? WHAT is the creator trying to say? WHY those tools/colours/shapes/strokes/composition/etc. etc. If you want to see more about my opinion you can better DM me, I have some presentations regarding this subject if you are interested.

    @@mister-monkeyman My human response: Humans are copies of copies but our minds have a unique perspective of the environment through interpretation. I think your response is too simple of explaining the creative process. I doubt art itself will continue to be a genuine human expression and will lead to a simplifying task that becomes less of meaningful. Less significant things become less interesting. The process is what makes it as in a journey has more value than the destination. I can take a short cut and its expected? Why? Its because we convince ourselves that is what the employer wants. Its less of a tool and more of a handicap. I wrote this before prompting a ChatGtP response: The argument presented in the statement is that all human art is a compilation, and this quality is what makes us human. However, it contrasts human art with AI, suggesting that AI is superficial and lacks depth or soul. The statement concludes that if AI were to achieve a level of depth or soul similar to human art, it should be considered human. Possible responses to this argument could include: 1. **Agreeing with the Statement:** One could agree with the argument and assert that human art often reflects complex emotions, experiences, and cultural influences, which are a part of what makes us human. AI, in its current form, lacks these intrinsic qualities and is primarily a compilation of data and algorithms. If AI were to develop genuine creativity, emotions, and depth in its art, it would indeed be a significant achievement. 2. **Disagreeing with the Statement:** Some may argue that the statement oversimplifies both human art and AI. They might point out that human art can vary widely in terms of depth, and not all of it is necessarily a compilation; some works of art may be deeply personal and introspective. Furthermore, AI can already generate creative and compelling art, blurring the line between human and artificial creation without necessarily achieving a "soul" in the human sense. 3. **Questioning the Premise:** Others might question the premise that AI lacks depth or soul entirely. They could argue that AI can generate art that resonates with people emotionally, even if it does not have consciousness or emotions in the same way humans do. The idea of what constitutes a "soul" in AI is a complex philosophical question. 4. **Highlighting the Need for Ethical Consideration:** Some may argue that the question of deeming AI to be human raises important ethical and philosophical dilemmas. It could lead to discussions about the rights and responsibilities associated with AI entities if they were considered human. This response would suggest that the question goes beyond the realm of art and into broader societal implications. In any case, the response to the statement largely depends on one's perspective on the nature of art, AI, and what it means to be human, making it a topic open to various interpretations and discussions.
