Oh my goodness, you just hit the nail on the head!💘 I think we could also ask this here. Even if the whole world doesn't love you, eventually you have to ask "What do I want?"
Oh Ms. Tera, I beg you to not use AI! You truly do not need to. So many ambiance channels use AI, and I do not watch any of them. You are so vastly talented... your videos are works of art. I emplore you to please reconsider this. 😢🙏
Oh, don't cry Nancy! I know very well how highly you value my art and feel infinite gratitude for that. And I also don't want to disappoint my many supporters, including you. However, there will be countless adventures and attempts on my long journey toward my ultimate creative destination. AI is one of those adventures, and the potential exists for my genre to evolve further with it. Of course, I fully understand and respect that everyone's values regarding AI are different. However, I just make choices that are close to my direction. I hope you don't take all this too seriously.🙏
I'm afraid I second this. :-( I've been avoiding channels that use it myself. Most of the time, AI tends to be used as a shortcut that lets people who don't have talent fake like they do. You've always had talent in spades, so although I understand wanting to experiment, I truly don't think you need that sort of "help."
@@TERAVIBE @Nancy.M. I get what Nancy is saying. Everytime I see an ambient video with an AI-made cabin in the woods and rain on the windows looking like it's a car windshield, I cringe. Your videos are a testament to what you can do with the creative spirit and even though you're exploring AI, I thank you for the countless hours of relaxation you've helped me experience. Thanks for taking the time to share your creations with us. Take care.
Main problem with AI is that it's trained with works of artists that never see a dime for it and later it replaces them, literally takes their jobs. _That_ is why AI should not be used until there are further, better regulations. And yes, Tera also has so much talent that using AI is really disappointing.
I adore using your work for hours on end for tabletop games and just general work ambience. Your work has always been such a testament to what you can do with a beautifully handcrafted experience. Sadly, I can't follow channels that use AI, and would be really disappointed to see your work fall to that direction.
Ugh...the heat is unusual these days. I also hope you are safe from the heat. For the time being, I need to create works that give us a cooling feeling! haha
If you read this video description - she said she used AI in parts of this video & intends to use it more. I left a comment begging her to reconsider this decision - she truly does not need to use it. Her ambiance videos are works of art without AI.
Shockingly, this video is first to use AI - notice the thumbnail and also the description. I really loved all her creations, but now its ridiculous to see that she claims to have created everything, yet in the same sentence says that she used AI starting from this video. This is anti-art, AI destroys everything that it tries to emulate. Another artist and great mind dead.
@@Nancy.M. Really, this is making me lose faith in humanity. I already thought that the human painting in the thumbnail was not really in her ballpark. Now an actual artist gets swallowed by AI nonsense. Given the values of her at this point, I really have to unsubscribe. AI destroys the creative mind and turns the world into a horde of mindless morons where no one can create. In the future idk if she will use AI and claim she didn't even.
What gorgeous melancholia. Perfect descriptors for Narcissus! Chef's kiss music selection to accompany it, as well as beautiful play of light reflecting on the water. Thank you, Tera!
Okay, folks, if you want to see Tera's great stuff become visually transcendent, hit that ❤💲 Thanks button and show her we really do support her and appreciate her talent!!!! She has lots of followers, so lets help her out!
A number of people have already commented on your potential further use for AI, and I will join them in the discussion. I have seen your replies that you wish to go in this direction, and they dishearten me. Your videos are absolutely beautiful as is, and there is strong proof of your growth and development as an artist throughout the years. Not only does AI steal other artists' work with no due credit or permission, but everything created with AI is lackluster and misses the spark of emotion that only humans can evoke. You are so talented, please do not give in to the noise machine that churns artistry into cheap product. I, too, will have to choose to stop watching your work if that is the direction you wish to go in.
If collaboration with AI can help overcome the physical limitations of expression and sharing, the results will no longer be considered lackluster. The reason for my adventurous experiments is to evolve my art along with new technologies to further maximize, rather than eliminate, the spark of emotion that only humans can evoke. No one knows whether I, as a human being, will be able to realize that ideal, but I believe that those who are interested in my journey will join me.
@@TERAVIBE "Collaboration with AI"? You are collaborating with all the millions of artists whose work was scraped without permission for the datasets. Not with something that isn't sentient and doesn't know what it is doing.
I grew up on the stories of the ancient Greeks so I was so very happy to see this. Such a beautiful rendering of the water. Is mythology a theme you are considering continuing? You’d certainly have an almost boundless supply of material. Have a wonderful day!
@@TERAVIBE I will be looking forward to it! If you are intending to cover other mythologies aside from Greek, there are some great Irish-Celtic stories like Aengus and Caer Ibormeith which might be of interest! Have a peaceful day!
Why in the world are you using AI now (thumbnail)? This is ridiculous and self annilating. I have been respecting you and subscribing you because you were a real artist and now you just destroyed that.
I thought it was too late for me to start experimenting with AI now. I am not a person who likes to make choices that destroy my own identity and value. Haha, but if there are people who think that way, we might have to say a sad goodbye.
@@TERAVIBE I could also do the AI nonsense but I hated to do it because it steals from real artists. To be honest, you actually are already late if you want to be one of millions of AI generated channels that can be created by every untalented lemming.
Immersive Ideas: 1) Shopping at Christmas time in London during the Charles Dickens era.❤️ 2) New Year's Eve at posh Parisian hotel ballroom (large table of food displayed in glorious hotel style, fancy decorations, etc. 3) Sailing in the Azores during sundown. Before the sun goes down, schools of dolphins follow the boat. After sundown...stars, full moon, twinkle lights from the island/land (this was a real life experience I had).
Very interesting concept idea: So part of the enchanted beauty is the pond and Narcissisus off course was disordered. So he thought all the beauty was him alone and had nothing to do with his sorrounding environment. I like this expressed through the ambience and visuals that are so stunning and captivating.
Narcissus was so much in love with himself. Only a fool doesn’t understand he loved the river, too. (from the poem "Surely You Remember" by Dahlia Ravikovitch)
I saw the character in your thumbnail and immediatelly suspected, that you've used AI. It's great that you are transparent and mention using it in the dooblydoo, but...if there's going to be more of AI in your videos in the future, then that's a goodbye from me. 😢
I said the same thing. So many of us love her work because she *doesn't* use AI. I left my own comment begging her to reconsider it. She doesn't need to use AI. Her videos are works of art without it.
@@Nancy.M. I was wondering should I comment, but eventually had to, because it has felt so bad to see so many creators on youtube suddenly seem to think that they couldn't possibly create a single video without AI. As if the workarounds don't exist anymore...ones that they most definetly would've used for example 3 years ago to illustrate something that they couldn't find ready images/video clips about. I too think she doesn't need to use AI. I've liked how the precence of humans has cleverly been hinted to only with sounds. Her video's have indeed been works of art so far.
@@psychosislove Sigh...this is why I hesitated to comment. "Nowhere did she say she can't create a single video without AI" I was actually speaking generally of all the creators here who've fallen down the AI slippery slope and because of whom I have changed my profile pic to what it is now. I have seen so many creators on youtube "experimenting" with AI and some even saying "I know AI is bad BUT I couldn't find images about this specific subject etc..." and then using AI more and more because clearly, *it feels good to get so many positive comments* about the AI elements. That's what artists do too...they are humans and fall for praise. "She said she was experimenting" She also said that: "For now, you can only see a very small portion of it in the thumbnail and intro. But I plan to create a new immersive content through more attractive combinations in the future, so please look forward to it!" That sounds to me like she will use more of AI in the future. I get it, instead of going for the workaround of getting a friend to model in front of a green screen, it's easier to prompt an AI. "AI art is artistic..."? Nah. Art created by human hands and brains is artistic. AI stuff is prompted uncanny valley imagery made by prompters with tech that is *based on stolen art* from millions of artists. As someone with two decade career as a creative, to me the use of *current form* of generative AI is *highly unethical.* But that's probably because I pay attention to how the tech is affecting mine and my fellow creatives ability to get and keep work, now and in the future. "AI art is an interesting medium" It is an exploitative tech, that would be more interesting, had it been trained ethically...or if you could copyright the images you've prompted. "It's by no means perfect" Yeah, it doesn't understand what it is doing. "It serves a purpose to those who embrace it..." To me, something that does what I can already do myself serves absolutely no purpose.
Really, this is making me lose faith in humanity. I already thought that the human painting in the thumbnail was not really in her ballpark. Now an actual artist gets swallowed by AI nonsense. Given the values of her at this point, I really have to unsubscribe. AI destroys the creative mind and turns the world into a horde of mindless morons where no one can create. In the future idk if she will use AI and claim she didn't even. Another actually talented mind gone.
@@psychosislove AI is anti-art, and it destroys the creative mind. A person who just copies off of a design from AI, then that person is just an artisan, not a artist. The existence of mind itself and design is not a 'medium'. Also, you are not an artist either, your thumbnail explains a lot about your capacity.
It seems, you attract a large number of opinion bots, jealous of how beautifully you work your art. Let them choke on their cereal while you stride forward and create.
Haha. If I could attract a lot of opinion bots, there would be not olny jealousy but also LOVE in those opinions, right..? Thank you so much for your support❤️
The music is real; that's "Fay in Mist", by Magnus Ludvigsson, according to the description box. Tera said she used AI in the thumbnail and intro, but not in the main video. ...This time. >sigh

Very sorry to hear you will be using AI. I have always loved coming to your channel knowing a person is crafting these videos, but if that is no longer the case I will be ubsubscribing.
