​@@romeosraThe thing is you have flexibility with a paint brush, you have the ability to move the camera, with AI, you just fill it with a shit ton of prompts with no real consistency. People have said with photography that it isn't art, but with photography: you can change how you frame it, what filters you use, how you take the photo, etc. Many variables that go into making photography make it a solid art form, and these variables allow it to be mended and molded into new forms. Sure your shot might look a bit blury if you do something wrong but it might add to the photo. Which brings me to why me and many others don't think AI should be making art. It's not a tool like a paintbrush, it's more of a pencil to mark the sketch. AI art is devoid of mistakes, devoid of flexibility, creativity, and originality. You give it a prompt and it will not, nor ever, make something original or that breaks the status quo that human artists can. What it generates is devoid of mistakes, and as bob ross said "Mistakes are just happy accidents." They don't make a painting worse, they make it human and more artistic. And as for flexibility, you can't ajust its settings or position like you can with a camera. It's always random, no consistency in style whatsoever. And as for creativity/originality. The human mind is a harbinger of ideas and artistic creativity, AI just works off of said images and never makes anything new. But this doesn't mean AI art isn't completely bad. It can be used as a tool for inspiration in ideas since it is good at melding ideas together. You can't get anything new from it but you can interpret what it means and use what you think it means as inspiration. It's just nobody uses it for that and they just want their "Original character, my little pony, purple, in the style of [random tumblr artist]." It can be used in making art, not for making art. tl;dr: read through the whole thing since this is a nuanced subject and can't be explained in one sentence.

The irony of AI art bros is that they tell us artists to shut up and deal with it, but they cry about ppl stealing or mimmicing their AI art prompts. The hypocrisy is hilarious.

Because progress. I am in art and design space for more than 20 years, doing both digital and traditional. AI is just another tool. I don't feel threatened by it, nor am I afraid "my style" will be ripped of, as I don't consider my, or anyone's style to be unique, as it is a result of collective civilizational development and a base of visual references humanity created throughout history. Eventually, it all boils down to an idea, the one with better and more creative idea will be the one to come up on top. Regardless of tools and techniques used. And just like traditional or digital art, there will be tons of uncreative, uninspired pieces that are all the same. Should we also talk about digital art from that perspective, and talk about millions of people who came into the art space only after they got access to tools that basically allow them to fix any mistake and redo anything as many times as they want, using guides, references, or just blatantly copying style or ideas from others? Given the times we live in and techniques available to artists, it's hard to draw a line in the sand and say "here's where traditional ends and ai begins". 99% of what you see online would be impossible without digital tools, and most artists that are active today would take completely different career path if they didn't have access to such tools, as it would be too time consuming/difficult/expensive to accomplish the same using only art supplies for most people.

@@yohatch lmao I saw your comments before, your sneaky attempt at looking like you know anything by saying you're in "art and design" space doesn't mean you're an artist or have any idea about anything that's happening, and your further attempts at justifications just solidify you know absolutely nothing. People struggle to define art but it's simply expression of oneself and their ideas through their understanding of the world, it's the skillful use of world elements and manipulating them to their bare bits, the more precise it is the more clear you are at expressing your ideas, which is achieved through a journey of learning every artist goes through, hence becoming more respected in art communities. That's why the artist and their journey is very important with their works and why they are never stripped away from each other, their artwork is the direct result of their life, years of honing a skill and what they want to express from their mind, it's linked to the artist in every way. They lay all the bits units of what makes their art and present it to real world from their mind. Those people, be it traditional means or digital, will use whatever possible to them to make those units and manipulate elements to make their art, they are able to make what they want regardless of medium, be it using stamps, arranging flowers, carving wood, etc, honing the skill of knowing exactly what to do with what they have along with what they want to create is their journey to understand the world and use it to express themselves, and the result is the art they produce. It's a very personal process and to people outside, it looks incomprehensible. That's why artists understand eachother and stand for themselves, they know what's up. I give my digital program to other students in my design club, they are completely clueless, they can't create out of thin air, even after knowing what the program gives them; but I can, and another artist other than me can too, once they understand what they are given in the program. Those people don't have a history of learning and understanding what they want to create, despite knowing how to operate what they are given (programs), and that's the reason they are in our design club, not because they are actually an artist. I can tell you're don't know anything cuz you can't tell how digital and traditional art don't take away the artist's journey in any way, an undo tool is equivalent to a really efficient eraser, there's something undesirable, you erase it, or just undo it, traditionally impossible, digitally possible due to the controlled system we have created. It says nothing about an artist's skills, a pen, colours that aren't limited and cost individually, it's just the removal of mundane tasks that only take time unless someone tries to be creative, but for most, it's just the realistic option to work on a system controlled by them just conveniently. How much money you spend on your art supplies is not what makes you an artist, it's your understanding from what you want to create and what you have. Millions of people coming into art space (as if people didn't just draw in their homes before internet) is just a good thing, meaning people can finally explore their interests and not be burdened by supplies and their cost, both of which are not a determinant of their skills. References are a part of a learning artist's learning tool, and that's where Ai has its place as a tool, to be used as a tool for generalizing a dataset and understanding the most probable direction of art. It's similar to references. It's all for learning purposes to only aid the artist's own art they create themselves. Otherwise whatever people say when they describe Ai as a "tool" is not a tool, they are neither used by artists nor anyone who has any intent of learning from it, it's used to get a poor attempt at creating the most probable image bits corresponding to the words, for the intent of being used as the end product, the the dataset is the actual artists, people who have their respective journeys with their skill and expression. The end result lacks everything that makes an image art, i e. a creator and their individuality, and that's why artists end up being able to differentiate between images created by artists and generated by Ais. So, "it's hard to draw a line" is just a you problem, someone who has no idea what art is. There's no line to be drawn, they are not in the same category to begin with. Same with your fantastical thinking that digital artists can't draw traditionally.

Well, AI artist might be an artist too. he just didnt had 10 years of drawing practice to draw, but is art just a skill? If no the AI artist is as artist as not AI, he just skipped the skill grind part. I never made AI art, never drew an art- so I am not an artist. But does amount of manual labor matters in this case? Or the art and what I feel when I see it matters more? I thought that art is about making people feel stuff, to interpret something, to see things in a new way. Why the medium matters? Its the same as to say: than singing is not an art, you cant touch it. Or singing is an art but drums are not, as you jkust bang on this man made thing. Ok whats with electric drum? Or with software drum which is basically and a sequenscer. Its all the same, the person behind matters more. And we come to questions what is an art and how AI can not be an art. I think a lot of AI made stuff is not an ART, same with hand made stuff. But its way easier to generate 10000 pictures with ai and uipload it somewhere and call it a day And its a lot harder to draw 1 image of this visual quality. So by the time you can draw as good as AI you are more intensional with wha you draw and % of what you draw being an art is way bigger. But anyway saltiness of some people came from their effort not being appreciated, I guess. It might be effort to draw or to make prompts and sort thru images it gives you. Sometimes you draw meaningless images noone feels shit seeing it, sometimes you generate sthings noone gives a shit, just a glance becaue AI makes it look well drawn, but its still meaningless image. Its an artist who makes thing an art, doesnt matter the tool- brush, pen, AI model or a photo camera

I very much agree, though I would hate to generalize. If AI users can at least show some empathy and honest respect for non-AI users, then at least they don't have a problematic ego. The real problem for now are those companies only promising opt-out features, when they should already be OPT-IN. Once that is dealt with, we could settle on how users could ethically use the models. Though the best course of action would be to completely remove and remake the models from scratch. Either that or let the companies go bankrupt from having to pay-up for every original piece of data they collected without consent. (UPDATE) Looking back at this comment, I've realized that even using AI ethically still would not solve the bigger issues around its influence and how there would always be people using it to exploit/replace others instead of empowering us to have better lives [quite a subjective proposition]...because of the way society uses its resources for PROFIT above everything else, making many people cynical of technological advances even if they could benefit us. We're used to this, so if something seems revolutionary, it's only natural we would be skeptical of the people behind it.

The US copyright office just refused to copyright an AI produced comic as "there needs to be an element of human authorship for a work to be copyrighted", so that's already something to set a precedent in this field.

It kinda has a similarity, because large production studious have a hundreds of concept artists on their shoulders. Now, the content produced by those artist are the property of the studio and since art style is not under copyright, a studio can fire 90% of labor, because now it can be done with less budget and just a few ai-skilled people by the same time. The custom corporate ai models are already being trained privately for different purposes, imagine how big is dataset of various images belonging to Disney, and artists who made it have no legal rights to use it. The case for music is a bit hard to understand. I think the progress is slower here because music pieces is a more complex thing than visuals. Its patterns can be purely explained by complex mathematics, but ai companies seems to try the same predictive models as for text. Probably, just need another approach that will solve it better. As an example, now there are simple diffusion models that basically somehow understands the visual graph of sounds and can replicate the similarity by generating variations of those images. I don’t know the full kitchen of this case, but it’s just fascinating how widely digital information can be reinterpreted.

I see arguments a lot that still - in this era - dismiss art as a nothing hobby, much less any kind of lucrative or meaningful career. People who are not artists tend to picture only traditional familiar forms of art, such as oil paintings or charcoal-on-newsprint figure drawings... basically the stuff that earns the creative kid in the family that Rose Art beginner set for the holidays every year, or gets a nod from someone looking thru a gallery... while these are valid and strong visual art methods, art is EVERYWHERE. The chair you sit in, the car you drive, the speakers on your desk, plastic sports trophies and the ugly concrete state buildings downtown - everything boring and tremendous in the world has a designer, and that's a LOT of artists at work. I feel AI largely removes not only soul or passion individually from the artist, but from those who would buy their art or lend any audience to it. It must be realized and appreciated that the real world puts us all in the day-to-day situation of wanting purpose, and an artist feels no differently. A bare fraction of us get to work on the art that drives us or feeds our souls on a constant basis, and often we need to just do what we must to survive. AI doesn't just threaten to interrupt a hobby, it potentially takes jobs and livelihoods away, and no matter what you do for a living it wears at the spirit when you feel you might have lost your place. In the meantime I hope we all keep working on what we want to, as much as we can, in spite of things feeling watered down

It then takes successful pictures and keeps those in its weighting. Depending on the algorithm, it will also randomly "forget" pieces to avoid being affected by things outside the normal. In a broader sense, it is just copying and pasting a greatest hits of other works it has seen and smudging them a bit. People like to say human artists are also inspired by other works and trace elements all the time, but their transformative elements have intentionality. The AI is faking this by grapeshotting variation until it hits something, because it can do millions of variations a second. It never "learns" anything that's more aesthetically pleasing though.

eh. ai art is already a dying fad that only clickbait articles/vids and companies scummy enough to cheap out on using them use. trust me, as a 20 year veteren pro artist, youre better off with nothing than ANYTHING from them. just keep working, find your unique style, and trust me youll start making a living quicker than you think. its all work work work. cant depend on inspiration or "being in the mood", you gotta practice and put in the time as much as you can all day everyday. learn how to use social media and to sell your art. it probably will never be a glamourous lifestyle but itll be confortable and youll be doing what you love for a living. ❤️❤️❤️

what do you think about "artists" who draw stuff? Arent they do the same thing? They watch other art, learn and make their own based on what they saw. Just tool is a pen and it takes a lot of time, comparing to ai prompt. But principal is the same. It just easy to make something "well drawn" with AI But "art" things comes not from visual quality or drawing quality, it comes from idea behind it TO be honest I dont see most hand drawn stuff as art. Its just anime girs os somethings meaningless. It does not evokes anyh feelings, you dont think about what you saw, you glance and moove on. Does it matter its hand drawn or not? It does not have any weight, except hand drawn thins took hours of someones life, It Still can be just a nice pic with no meaning whicn never will touch anyones heart, bring emotion or chellange the mind. Yes, chance that hand drawn thing is more "art" are way bigger because pearson have ideas and commiting hours of time to draw something meaningless less probable, than just making "anime titties superhero in forrest" prompt. But lets be fair, art will be art when its made by artist, not when its made using tool someone think is "right"

The fact that just today an artists got laid off and replaced with AI and in the email they said “we will continue to take inspiration from your art” sums this situation up perfectly. They basically said “oh thank you for providing us with your work for years, we are now going to unethically feed it to a machine which you didn’t consent too so we can cut you out of our bottom line”

As an artist I'm tempted to build and train an AI to sample and copy all of my own art and style so I can make it do grunt work and then finish it myself. Cause it would be fun making a render in 30mins instead of 3 hours. Without losing quality or soul or a human touch. This is really the only way I see AI art used properly by artist, with thier own work. And this was also something used before AI existed if anyone knows the history of Rembrandt.

The problem with being an artist is that people always tell them they are useless parasites until the work they suddenly fall in love with is created. Once the work is created, it gets exploited by the same people without any regard for the artist..

petition: out with "AI art". in with "AI image generation", or AIG.

I'm a computer scientist, and it saddens me to see the toxicity from users toward artists, derived from the existence of these AI models. There's no justification for that, and there will never be. The way current AIs work is definitely too close to the source and that needs to be taken into account for evaluating the ethics of those models, before we go out of our ways to monetize and capitalize on these models. I do hope that the laws will catch up quickly with this, and people will be prevented from continuing to capitalize on models trained using copyrighted data obtained without a license. As you mentioned the models *could* be trained exclusively on open-source and public domain images (I don't like the term copyright-free, because in most cases, it's not true -- having a permissive license doesn't cancel out copyright, only public domain does, and public domain doesn't exist in all countries), although this will very definitely result in much lower quality models with lower quality output -- not because permissive licensed art is inferior, but because there's less quantity of it. That said, I do believe that with enough evolution of the technologies used for AI art, in the future we could get to a point where the process used by AI will be unique and original. But this will require that the models learn about shapes and colors, instead of learning how to predict what an image looks like based on a prompt and random noise. I do not believe that creativity is a special thing that only fleshy brains can have, but rather an emergent property of the complex abstraction that our brain does, which is orders of magnitude more nuanced than current AI models (regardless of their size) can hope for.

I'm an artist who thinks this "No to A.I." movement is largely emotionally-based panic. But I do greatly appreciate your rational view given here and agree with most of it. The only caveat I find here is that, at least here in the Western Hemisphere, I see no way one can enforce laws against A.I. technology merely analyzing existing copyrighted works without it also affecting human artists from doing the same. The same space human artists have to merely observe, study, and emulate another's artwork (without directly plagiarizing them), is the same space that creators of A.I. (Machine Learning) models are using (or exploiting, depending how you view it). The giant "loophole" with A.I., if you will. It's technically just capitalizing upon what's legal for humans because you can't copyright a style, nor can you stop someone from analyzing a publicly-displayed copyrighted work and creating a different new result from such analysis. I think the only way around this issue is that those companies building A.I. models are just going to have to make the decision to "opt-out" of using established copyright works on their own, to appeal to the people, rather than being enforced by policy. Or, as you say, to "get to a point where the process used by AI will be unique and original" somewhat on its own. Though, even with such a "point," A.I. image production will still always rely upon emulation of provided data. Humans will always serve as a machine's source of data, in some way. The only question, really, is who's willing to serve as the data? I think an "opt-in' option as the default will help alleviate most of this matter. It's really the only true option I see as quelling concerns.

They were treasured and then suddenly there was no more need for them even though they loved what they did. Same thing is happening to artists, there will be no need for them to exist anymore in the business and commission world. They can still draw or whatever but they will be preoccupied with another job like an office or retail one which will dam their passion. Some people might seek them out though for the sake of aesthetic, the same way painters are brought to weddings to paint scenes instead of photographers. But there won't be a need for a giant selection of artists as there is now. There's million of us right now but in the future only a thousand or even a hundred might be wanted.

Eventually, we may live in a world where we can't tell if we're talking to actual people across the internet or an AI bot designed to act like a real human in order to steal personal information and blackmail you. A "following" could just be bots to keep one addicted to the platform. I feel like the ultimate goal is to get as many humans as possible to just end themselves out of despair and hopelessness. Diluting artistic expression of people will definitely lead to such an outcome. The powers that be want us too poor to have families and homes and too distrusting to have friends.

Proves why more people should start putting in the hard work to become artists, not just for perspective for how the creative process works, but also to give people something beyond just being another consumer cog in our capitalistic-run societies. Part of the issue why I think most people don't think much about AI art is because most people think of art as a consumable product/commodity, and it can be hard to value someone else's hard work if all you're doing is taking/consuming without putting in effort as well. Give people something that they can work hard in (ie making art themselves without AI) and people would view the easy and less rewarding route of making AI art differently.

@@Mind_ConTroll except that it's not. These programs just take the original artwork and apply some static to it such as a blur filter. It's been illegal to do this for forever. Taking artwork you don't own and modifying it for non-personal use is fraud. Also, all artists are influenced by others' styles because there are core elements to art such as lines, shadows and composition...this program doesn't do that, it takes the original artwork and then randomizes it in some manner such as a blur filter or deviations in the shading by adding or subtracting values. It is literal forgery and as stated in the video, is being used to defraud artists of their work to benefit the company or individual providing the program. Also, the printing press did not replace scribes, they still exist, in fact, they're everywhere because what used to be uncommon knowledge is now available to 90+ percent of the population instead of what used to be less than 30% (the ability to read and write). The original scribes were so few in number, they were probably just hired by the companies to man the printing press and ensure its accuracy. Also, print never replaced paint. It's still the primary medium for physical artwork. By the way, if you want to go the "if your artwork is so easily reproduced, maybe you were not valuable in the first place?" route, just about EVERY media company in the world would like a word with you about copyright infringement over digital goods, you know, those things that can be reproduced in infinite number? This isn't about adaptation, these companies are literally stealing work and calling it their own. You also fail to realize that AI can only "vary" an artwork for so long before it becomes gibberish. Allowing this to continue causes the entire concept of artwork to become worthless until some undesignated point where everyone realizes that the AI works are so homogenous that there is no real difference between them and no reason to be impressed, especially when a purchase is required. When it comes to human artists, it will literally be one in a million chance that someone has an art style similar to your own if you get passed the basics

I completely understand how artists who spend years honing their skills can feel frustrated with their work being appropriated by big-tech in such way, and yes, young artists might be feeling utter hopeless right now.

@@Lambsauce10is there really? both are often done for peoples comfort and entertainment. If you can automate something that brings people happiness make it take less work to produce then whats the problem with that? People throughout history have lost jobs to automation, it kinda just tends to happen, however these automations bring about good things long term.

Years ago, I started doing digital art using my Wacom tablet. Lots of people, including other artists, criticized me, saying that what I was doing wasn't real art or that it was "easier," therefore less valuable. Now, AI has appeared, and I've been experimenting with it as a time-saver for sketches. I do a prompt with the idea I have in mind, and what comes out always looks unfinished and messy. So, what do I do? I make my art on top of it, using what the AI created as a base just to make my workflow faster. I've been doing art for about 15 years now. I'm used to a multitude of techniques - realism, cartoon, manga, surrealism, perspective, and all that shit. I've done oil painting, graffiti, clay sculptures, 3D art, charcoal art, watercolor, and, to be honest, anything the AI does, I'm able to do by myself. So, why did I start using it? Because I'm fucking tired of doing boring shit! I want to focus on the things I like drawing. So, when AI appeared, I was happy about it because I knew it could help me make my workflow faster. Instead of working on the boring stuff for hours and hours, I can focus on the things that are my specialty - the things I actually like doing. In my case, it's the human figure. I don't really like doing scenery and stuff; it's boring and time-consuming. But even if I'm using AI to help me with it I still need to touch it up and fix a lot of crap because I'm never 100% satisfied with what the AI gives me. So, in the end, the final result, the art looks absolutely different from what the AI did. I don't hide on my social media the fact that sometimes I like using AI to help me, but when I say that, people don't believe me. They say the art I made is 100% AI and that I didn't draw anything, and that simply isn't the truth. They demand me to do fucking videos showing my process. They start to literally interrogate me as if I needed to prove anything! And shit, most times, the AI only does about 20% of the piece and i don't even use it in all my drawings. As I said before, I only use it as a base, a sketch. Shit, people are accusing me of using AI even in the art where I didn't use AI at all. People are crazy about that shit. They say I'm stealing art; they say I'm not a real artist; they say I'm lying. Shit, even when I show proof that I can draw and that I've been doing it for ages, people are still nagging the fuck out of me. Like, leave me alone! Let me do my fucking art in whatever way I like doing it! If you don't like it, don't fucking look at it and go fuck yourself. Fuck, people are really annoying about it. I just want to do my shit in peace. Fucking hell. it's the same crap from when i started doing digital art all over again. i agree when people say that if someone just did a prompt than this person isn't really an artist, youre right they're just prompters and it's worse when this person doesn't even use some photoshop to make it look better or something like that because in the end it's something 100% made by the ai, no soul in it, but not everyone uses this technology the same way, people like me do exist. even if you don't believe it.

@@TerryAVanguard That's kind of the problem though, people who use Ai art aren't actually creating anything. You may get results that are unconventional, but it's not aesthetic material that has artistic intent or invokes a specific kind of meaning. Creating art is a process that involves making consecutive choices and decisions, which is not really something you are doing when typing in a series of prompts. Even discussions involving "style" is often misunderstood as an aesthetic appeal, when in reality we are talking about the visual representation of someone's artistic experience and knowledge. No one has to be good at art to be an artist, but you at least have to do the work to be an artist. Ai art is antithetical to this idea, since all you are doing is feeding other people's work into an algorithm. The promise of Ai art democratizing creativity seems like a trojan horse to me. The prospect of ai generated art is promising at first until, like everyone's personal information, people's art work is fed into the corporate machine, which generally answers to no one. This will stratify class issues even further as artists become displaced, and make start of entry even more difficult for new professional artists. The reality is that ai art enthusiasts are asking us for permission to automate the human soul. It's not the idea of it existing that's the problem, it's the economic system that it's built under that is the problem, which brings me back to my initial (arguably unproductive) comment. Like with everything in our capitalist economic system, the people this will benefit the most are people who do not actually like art. The willingness for people to exploit the work of existing artists this early on, and the overall lack of respect around such issues by ai enthusiasts already establishes very obvious ethical issues involved with the technology.

HI! I wanted to write you a comment because I saw your entire video, I also found the fantastic video you recommended by Steven Zapata's. I also love drawing, although my passion is more for fetish drawing, and I too felt bad when the AI ​​arrived. DeviantArt was filled with images from "artists", who churned out hundreds of images in just a few weeks. I, on the other hand, have created only about 100 images over years of effort and improvement, but I am satisfied with my progress. So I wanted to write to you. I'm glad our opinion maybe counts.

A hug, your videos are always very entertaining. I hope that many will start drawing, rather than relying on these disrespectful methods of generating art.

I think a pivotal issue with the fight against AI is how undereducated most people are on copyright issues.

As a matter of fact, even the signature of Picasso alone would be valued a million times more than any of your art. What’s valued is the artist. The value of a painting will go from 5 dollars to several millions, depending on who painted it. In both cases i’m talking about the exact same painting. People don’t buy/admire a painting, they buy/admire a name, a signature.

If I have to be honest i'm happy more and more people talk about it. I practicly graduated from art school last year. I did my dyploma with thanks from the president of my city. Now i'm at uni and want to continue my art future but ai makes me dougtfull. I feel like I did it all for no reason whatsoever and all people around me that aren't artists themselves also get angry because they know how much time it takes to be a full time artist and get through. Currently im thinking about my bachelor degree and i think I will write about the topic of coppywrite and AI because it's what hurt me most. We should not stop it. Ai helps a lot with reasearch of art and documents but seeking fraud and using it, signing and saying it's your art just hurt. Reason is not only because of coppywrite but aso misstratment of ammount of time spent on art we create. I'm still scared of the future but our community gives me hope.

The thing is that "law" don't say us where is the edge between copy and original work in this specific case. Сorporations actively take advantage of this loophole.

I think it’s just a kick in the balls. If you spent a dozen hours painting a piece, and maybe thousands of hours gathering the necessary skills to paint it. Then you share it to the world, and that piece that took years of progress and hard work to create is essentially and directly used to replace you and the skills you’ve painstakingly gathered. I think people need to try and apply this to their own fields or passions, it’s not hard to see why we are upset.

If you're attacking the idea that AI can learn from anyone's art, just like humans, and without their permission, then you're attacking AI. Artists have the copy rights, not the right to stop learning from their art. It's my right to use ANYBODY's art, for any education reason, including training (whether human or machine). Just like many artists were against photography in 19th century, too many artists are against AI. I sympathize with artists who might be displaced by new technology, but I don't sympathize with ones who want to stop progress. That idea must be completely and totally destroyed. The only unethical aspect to this is on the part of artists who trying to stop more people having easier access to creating art.

If you do some study about the music business in last 100 years, you’ll find a big chunk of it is about how talents are being taken advantage of by the business men. But slowly musicians fought back. I think you’re absolutely right and it’s time for artists to do the same. Sadly there’s no easy path.

I'm a musician too-I use samples to compose music. A synthesizer is an instrument which is loaded with preset sample patches designed by sound egineers and loaded into hardware/software. A musician then composes with those patches to make an original piece of music.

*Artists:* I can't draw hands *AI:* I can't draw hands

I’m not a visual artist, I’m a writer but I can relate although there’s seems to be way less fuzz about my field in AI. Sure, I can sit down to craft a complex world and intricate characters, unlike AI, but at the end of the day, how can I compete to a bot capable of generating tens of different ideas in a couple of seconds and develop a full story in a morning (and you don’t even have to pay it)? I think the problem we are facing is not even the one you talk about. I think the problem is that today people are uneducated to the point of not being able to distinguish between a piece of work filled with passion and talent and a cold imitation of it. Somebody may argue that it’s because AIs are so good that you don’t notice, but the reality is that they are as shallow as the art they like.

The hypocrisy in AI Artists complaining about not being credited rattles my brain.

Perhaps creating more opt out petitions would prove an effective counter measure against the theft problem. More awareness of the problem could be brought to light through speaking about it at art events. A mass automated email opt in system may be the way to go.

The ai itself doesn’t even get me that upset but the ai defenders that KNOW and understand how it works, make my blood boil because of their insensitivity towards artists…. “Keep crying” i will because this is my dream and an entire industry of people who spend hours getting there!

These people seem like they're either trolls or morons. Human made art is the egg from which AI made art is hatched from. Humans have invented art styles and without human artists to keep innovating art and creating new visual aesthetics - the AI will just keep repeating the same existing styles. Imagine if people were so weak willed that whenever someone put us down online we'd just give up. Imagine if all of the artists would just decide to stop making art or to stop sharing it online. That would instantly kill the progress of AI art generators. These people who claim to be in favor of the advancement of technology are trying to burn the fuel which feeds their machine.

I feel like most of the hostility is a reaction to the perceived hostility of artists towards non-artists. No one likes being called a thief using publicly available images to create something new. They are aware they didn't manually put in the time and effort to get the result, but often feel that the images are inspired by their imagination. I'd say its more similar to commissioning an "artist" for a piece in the style of a different artist. In the art community it could be seen as taboo if the work is publicized, but if the only person who requested the commission receives it's less so. Redistribution and monetization is the only reason I'd see there being a reason for conflict, otherwise I haven't really yet to see a reason why coexistence wouldn't be possible for creators and people who use these tools for personal use.

In a much older video speaking about the emergence of AI and automation and how its gonna make human unemployable, There are a few analogies that represents situations like this: "perhaps your barista is the only one that can make your mochachino caffe latté just the way you like it, but most people won't care and just want a decent cup of coffee."

I got called a stealer, a robber, and many other things when i posted a study of ur artstyle on tiktok and gave credits in the caption and saying it's a study, i even pinned it in the comments and people still called me unoriginal, but they would gladly defend AI art i eventually had to take the video down and now I'm scared to share my art, THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS ‼️‼️

Art is supposed to be about creativity and ai just makes that impossible. I liked it so much how drawing can be personal and how you can express cool ideas through it. With ai doing it all that will be taken away.

Even Hayao Miyazaki condemns AI, saying it's "an insult to life itself"

As someone who's been having extreme trouble getting myself to get into art, I can only imagine what it would be like to have the expression of your heart and soul tainted and abused to this degree... On a more meta level, what truly scares me the most about the situation is that during this 'rise of AI', one of the first things that gets automated is pieces of human expression, instead of the jobs that no one wants to do...

I think it's time for an internationally recognized artists union. People have invested their lives to learn how to paint, and its being taken from their hands, algorythmified and reproduced without any credit, which makes it direct fraud of copyright, as their images were used. If the EU is not allowing Music to be relixed anymore because of copyright, now it is time for art to receive the same rights.
