I know that this video is a gross oversimplification here's a video with a well researched and well argued takes, it's worth the watch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tjSxFAGP9Ss.html
I wouldn’t call it an oversimplification, as it doesn’t relate to reality much. At the moment, AI does the very same thing artists do - it looks at references to make its own picture. The linked video does not deny this. In response, it says: « The details of stable diffusions’s, or any other model’s process, are not what we want to get caught up on, as new methods will be developed, new companies will emerge, and the technology will change » (8:54) The first part of this response calls us to ignore details, and the second is speculating about technological advancement (which is fine in context of that video, but not for understanding how the A.I. actually works). Furthermore, the whole section of the video does not seem to ever deny the process’ description in the argument. To be clear, I am by no means protecting the “AI artists.” The artwork is created by the A.I., not by the prompt writer. Edit: I had time to watch the video properly now, and it seems to be mainly talking about the ethical issue. The author even specifies that the A.I.’s output is still art.
Sad part is there's one that come to mind. Though I can't remember his name, he's gotten called out because he's been posting on twitter his clearly AI developed art without tagging it as either AI or non post edited material. A few art drama RU-vidrs though I know made videos on the situation, but story is the guy opened like a Ko-Fi or something along the lines of that for open commissions to sell his AI art aka compiled stolen assests
@@L30N_M Wow, that sounds awful. Selling AI art without tagging it feels like such a scam. I mean taking requests from friends to make a neat profile pic is one thing (I used it for my DnD character), but to make paid commisions is stealing with extra steps
Don"t worry, that patreon channels are not selling art, are selling prompt tricks, so the consumers are thereselves lol... And people who sell "art" are basically scaming so their business has short life... There was scams since a really long ago, people who even sell artists content without consent,
@@Sanches7557 that doesn't sound just awful. I'm pretty sure it's illegal too. It's sad to see this because a handful of scummy people gave such a bad reputation to a tool that could've helped actual artists find new ideas and inspiration.
But it's HARD WORK to type what you want. No joke, I've seen someone use that excuse once for calling themselves an artist... To be fair though, it probably is hard to type "hot anime waifu" while holding two waifu body pillows.
stupid comparison Here, rather, I watched hundreds and thousands of bakers create decorations on their cakes, I took those that fit my composition and made them my own way
Artists are like people who spent 5 years learning a foreign language, while ai artists are the ones who use google translate and pretend like they understand the language and the culture behind it.
And they help. AI will not replace artists. But there are always people who want to take advantage of it. And that's okay. AI is a tool. How you use it depends on the person. Here is a pencil, you can draw with it. But... you can use it to poke someone to death. And people start blaming the pencil. Not a person. Classic.
@@TheRealAbraxas well you can use ai as inspiration or like a foundation, but you cannot use it for the whole thing, think of it like nails, nails can be used to say help build a house, but you can't build a house out of pure nails, and expect anyone to live there.
I'm a regular artist but I also use AI and consider myself an AI artist. I think the difference between some dude just using AI and an AI artist is that an AI artist is good at giving good prompts, using Img2Img to repeatedly change parts of the image and put it back into the AI to get the exact final result and layout you want and using good compositing and colour adjustments to make the final image look better. I don't think an AI artist is remotely on par with a good regular artist, but I think to me at least the term is there to separate people like me who put a lot of work in whilst generating artwork and the average AI user who just puts in a prompt and gets a piece of art.
Ai art is like mass produced food engineered to be as delicious/addictive as possible by corporations and it’s like saying there will be no more home cooked meals or fine dining because it’s cheaper and faster to buy microwave meals
I would prefer to pay for a piece made by an artist with a signature style that I‘ve been following, even if I could get an identical piece from a computer. It’s less gratifying and takes the value away. This is less true for industry art/corporations.
I know a dude who described ai "artists" perfectly.... "This Dominos pizza is great, I chose all the right toppings/crust/cheeses/sauces! I'm such a great chef!"
@@AI_is_a_tool The argument is VERY valid. You clearly don't know how difficult it is to make art. You're acting like a fucking domino's pizza is the hardest thing in the world to make. Also, 'your art will never be worth $400' HOLY SHIT HOW CAN YOU THINK THIS!? Have you never heard of any famous artists EVER?! There are MILLIONS of art pieces that are worth THOUSANDS. Oh, and your surgery argument can get thrown right out the window because the machine is being used as not only a TOOL, but as an ASSIST to the surgeon. NOT as a replacement, unlike AI. You need to learn that artists put care and love into their work and most of the time have been polishing and practicing their skills for YEARS. AI generated images takes seconds to make and has no care to it whatsoever.
@@Azarthes I mean it is pretty greedy I personally have had my art stolen but I don't give af. It's a waste of time to care about getting art stolen even if the person gets more attention than u, like if u care about art getting stolen than ur either a attention seeker or sensitive or want fame waaay to much. But this is all my opinion tho not a actual fact👐👐
@@the_big_5_is_the_goat i dunno i dont exactly think artists are greedy when theyre trying to get credit that costs nothing for their work i can see a company or a person not crediting an artist if they purchased the art, money has already been given and im not their marketing agent. but outright stealing... yea
Some years ago I liked to use it as inspiration for my own art, just for fun and training, I remember being so excited about the whole machine learning thing. Now its just sad
Mainly because it is uninspired. Like the few that used it at first had cool ideas, but the mainstream population doesn't. Like, I'm getting really tired of Beksinski, Giger, Junji Ito, Greg Rutkowski and others applied to very mundane stuff.
It is not legal, however, there is no certain strict rules on it yet. Imagine being the first photographer in the world and selling your photos as realistic physical art
That's the thing, it's still not even legal lol, no matter how much you changes you make to the original, as long as you still used it without permission or license you're still violating their copyright, it's just the word copyright has become such a dirty word on the internet that these people know they can just bully the actual artist into submission by amassing a mob to harass them.
@@aflockofconnivingmagpies3490 I'm sure you could make the case that the art is "transformative" and therefore fair use. That said I think this'll probably just be a fad like NFTs. People will stop being impressed when the novelty wears off and people see how unintentionally offputting the images are. Still gross for the time being, though.
To avoid this I think StableDiffusion use Public Domain art or Creative Commons as their copyright are made publicly free. If you want an actual issue, consider using a certain living artist's name alias to create a specifically tailored art and see if they consent about it. If they are using a living artist's name then the AI is directed to take many of their arts directly.
I don’t care what anyone says. “AI artists” don’t even deserve to be called “artists.” Real artists create, “AI artists” text something out and then push a button.
@@midnalazuli793 creating what i want to be created, what else could it mean? I want an art and don't really care about the source if art is good for me.
@@midnalazuli793 i can appreciate something apealing to my taste, it's no difference for me if it's made by man or machine(also it's very hard to differ if decent amount of efforts have been put into AI art), same applies for lots of things and the world still didn't collapse because machines took some jobs, i see no difference between AI revolution and any other technological revolution, people lose jobs, prices go down, same as it many times happened and will happen many times in the future.
@@amartious2123 AI can't capture emotion at all. It can't tell a story with body language or texture. If you try to generate a human then you'll get random limbs, extra fingers, a third eye. If you try to generate a house or a scene then it'll be incoherent and messy, it does not look professional at all. This is becuase the ai doesn't draw or generate from scratch. It looks up random art from the keywords you gave and mashes several peices together. It's like if you buaght three different cakes and stacked them all on top of each other without removing the decorations. It's obviously someone else's hardworking and you kinda just look like an idiot for calling yourself a cake decorator. Real artists are far superior to ai generation.
@@amartious2123 :/ the picture generated by an AI took several years worth of hours due to how much data was needed to correctly make your Squidward Anime Girl icon a reality. Then another set of time just taken to make the damn thing. So yes, an actual artist took less time to make the images the computer is tweaking long before it photoshopped 50 images together.
@@amartious2123 I dunno, maybe because AI literally MERGES ART MADE BY ACTUAL FUCKING ARTISTS? Ai is a cheap art blender that talentless attention seekers on the internet use to get clout. Nothing else.
@@amartious2123 from 5 sec - lifetime. Usually take 4 hour for me. Well A.I might be powerful but they can't create styles, yeah they probably can copy styles from a certain artist like Van Gogh but still they can't copy their history and legacy. Real artist could fix the mistake of a painting while A.I probably change the whole painting, sure they can develop some kind of correction command to fix a certain mistake in the painting but that would take an entire crew of developer to do so. Actual artist might understand more of the customer request when doing something like commission, an A.I would not understand human taste,it just do as the command prompt says, some command might overlap sometime.
@@omnipresentcatgod245 yea sitting on your ass and typing words is so difficult while me sitting for 6 hours is so equal to ai that doesn't even move a damn brush😂
@@SpookyHost Do you think we just type words to get the AI to work perfectly, Nah it's much more complicated. I take hours to generate what I call a "perfect image" without anatomically incorrect things and perfect lighting, proportions and shadow.
@@omnipresentcatgod245 ive used ai art before, and as an actual artist that makes real art, it IS as easy as it sounds. sure it might take you a tiny bit to generate what you want, but all youre doing is sitting on ur ass and clicking a button. no skill involved.
Edit: guys stop responding. It’s been a year and this statement was made with the knowledge from this and some other videos talking about it. AI "artists" go trash talking actual artists and they say that there is no point in doing art anymore because AIs are better, but when in reality without human art AI can't generate images. AI doesn't just magically make up images. It looks at real art and generates an image with that. If people stopped drawing, then the AIs wouldn't be able to take part of their artwork to create images.
@@noobatredstone3001 ??? database? You do realize that the database was only used to train it, the AI model exists independent of the database all over the internet that can be downloaded locally on any computer.
this whole ai art thing makes me feel so unmotivated as a young artists, my art isn't that good and I'm trying my best to improve it but seeing people just generating art with one click makes me wanna quit bc I put it so much effort in practicing art😭😭
Hey,as a artiat myself,first off I'd say,don't give up,(: your improving alot trust me and ai can NEVER so what you do other then steal shit, the motivation is that your better then a computer! :D keep on the improvement take breaks when you can and see how far you've come on day!really proud of you!^^ cant wait to see you in art museum one day! :D good luck!
dont give up, please. giving up is the worst thing you can ever do because everyone starts somewhere, you will only get better with time. if you continue, in the future, you will look back at yourself and will be glad that you never gave up.
Give up. While you hone the skill of drawing hands - the AI will already make at least 20 masterpieces at the level of world art. While you learn how to draw eyes - the AI will already make a step-by-step instruction for its "works". By the time you learn anatomy, there will be soooo much generated art, that people will basically lose any interest in art and you will simply lose time.
@@mr.milkoloid9467 haha no. art can be fun and fulfilling to make. it doesn't matter if a computer can do it better. acquiring skills is cool regardless B)
The AI tools should force a watermark on the piece so everyone knows it's AI generated. I really think they should do this, every other program has some sort of watermark.
They actually did this with DALLE-2 which always has a watermark on the bottom right, but that can be easily removed by cropping it out. However, each AI generated image has invisible watermarks, machine learning engineers which are ethical could work on AI art detectors trained on them, but they would need to be very careful on such a model and how it is shared or used, as the detection could also be used to improve a model.
at least tracing can be used as good stroke and drawing practice as long as its not being shared and removing watermarks just increases the popularity of the original artist if they get called out. ai 'art' garbage is just a shitstorm of a bunch of stolen artwork put together to make something "new".
@@lorekeeper685 well, tracing is not hard. At all. Designing and training a generative model is. So I'm with AI here. At least, it is more hard work than even drawing a painting it will learn from
Makes me scared to post any of my drawings that could be stolen to fuel these things. I spent years getting this far, not perfect but it’s something, and someone with no practice can type a prompt and end up with a full image in seconds and it’s frustrating.
hopefully this is ai art thing just a trend. don't get me wrong, it's cool in theory, and shows how far we've gotten with technology, but if it's being used maliciously, then i'd rather it be gone.
unfortunately, it is being used maliciously, diffusion stability or something i dont want to bother naming has actually tried to create a workaround to the copyright law in order to make profit off of the arts the ai created based on copyrighted arts.
Honestly i hope so. I mean, in the end all AI art kinda looks the same so if anything look the same people would seek something that looks different. Like you can't eat McDonald everyday. For example I follow a lot of indie heavy metal artists and Lot of them has started using AI art for their cover, to the point I kinda grew uninterested of the cover and stopped checking them. However, I clicked to another band with like 7 views (Pistacia, If anybody is interested) for just the album cover art for how raw/sketchy it looked.
Nah companies didn't pour all this effort in this just to be a trend. They're already rolling out 3d modelling ai. This is the future, for better or worse
@@metausername7195 I just hope it falls down then, like Meta. It would be funny to see like companies putting dangerous amount of money on AI and then having people still liking real artists.
I saw someone say "Artists are only upset because it lets the non talented make something" 1. Art doesn't require talent, you're just lazy. It's a skill anyone can learn. Even people whos art you admire once sucked, they simply put in the effort to get better over a long period of time. 2. You didn't make the artwork. If asking someone to make art for you doesn't make you the creator, neither does asking an AI.
There's more to AI art though, like good prompting, editing problematic details and perfecting your art, but i get your point about people who just post raw results from AI.
@@thesun9210 I'd like to know more about AI. Not interested in using it, I can paint quite well on Photoshop or CSP. Internet stranger here politely asking you If you have some experience with this and tell me more about it.
@@anordinaryfellow2832 well, everything starts with a model, the very base of any generated image, it can be realistic, anime, cartoonish or 3d like, they all give different results and demand personal prompt approach because of weights which affect the noise alteration and as such the final result so a lot of time goes to find optimal key words for every model you use. Then there are smaller models, LORAs, that bring in custom weights and which trained on specific images like characters, styles, clothes and such, their role is to bring something new into the base model, something that wasn't there, i think artists mostly complain about these because there are lots of LORAs trained on specific artists like WLOP or SamDoesArts, and results really look like drawn by them, but it's not really what the whole community rolls around, because characters, detail improvements and NSFW content are far more popular. There is also img2img tab which primarily used as photoshop to fix details like arms, eyes or anything else that needs fixing, or it can be used to generate arts from very basic sketches and it's also used for upscaling the image from 512x512 up to 4k+ or even expand the image beyond it's original content, it is present in photoshop i believe, this feature was very hyped on release, and on SD it was present from very early on. There are also lots of extensions with their own systems like ControlNet which allows to generate characters in specific poses, or take depth maps of pictures to alter the originals without losing the main idea, or also canny type which used to capture all the outlines in the picture, which can be used to paint manga for example. So it's a very big ecosystem that doesn't come down to simply steal artist's work, it's actually a very powerful tool to skip most of the labour work and create new things, that rely only on imagination, community and prompt manipulating skill.
@@thesun9210 That's actually interesting, from the way you describe it. It could truly enhance and make an artist's workflow much faster and more effective. Oh, question( if you don't mind): So an AI generator generates better images if the model that is being employed is (generally speaking) "better" right? Are there developers who charge money for these models? How much could they charge? Or are most models just free to use? (Wanted to thank you for taking your time to write this. Im just Tryna expand my view on this new technology. Guess I'm too lazy to Google it up or smn 💀
Art is a form of human expression, AI isn't human, it has no emotions, or anything like that. Therefore it cannot create genuine art. (Also Art, like you said requires actual effort.)
It's astounding to me how proudly delusional AI "artists" are. Creativity, inspiration, art, intellectual property are just some of the words that come to my mind that they do not seem to know the meaning of. But it's sad to me how proudly callous they are. That inauthentic works of theft are celebrated in their world. That real artists are mocked for simply not wanting their passion replaced and their hard work stolen, their reflection of those things important to them used for images that are nothing more than math and equations. AI art is anti-art for the laziest among us. An insult to those who trade their time and money for the pursuit of something that has connected humans across continents, centuries, cultures, etc.
it's so funny that there was an anime about this too (well, about music being robot generated) and the same thing ended up happening... people wanted authentic art made by humans after so long.

@@ihavenoname7599 Bro the ones who made AI are cool and all but the ones we are talking about are the users who use AI to generate images and then sell it.
It’s so crazy to me that artists can’t put their own Spider-Man drawings on a T-shirt and sell it as their own product. But an A.I company used hundreds of copyrighted Spider-Man images that somebody else made, to train their A.I and sell that A.I as their own product. And share none of the profits to the original artist

Every time you generate art using an ai tool, it uses artwork stolen from thousands of artists, over a million pieces of artwork and the ai picks and chooses which best suits the outcome of the request just for you to get your desired image, I’ve seen artists techniques even my own techniques copy pasted to create the smudge known as ai art And I do not care
I can't wait until AI makes 80% of people unemployed. I really want to see it happen, because at that point someone might stop and think that they need to regulate that sh*t.
Someone probably needs to put restrictions on the machinery used on factories as well, since it decreased the number of work hours needed to produce a single product and thus left many people unemployed, right? Let's thank god people like you are not in power to make any decisions and regulations, otherwise we would still be in a stone age.
I cant wait for it either, then these annoying artists selling crayon drawings will have to find an actual job and only the good artists will remain, for everything else there is AI.
I've used ai art generators just to have fun with my own ideas because I have neither the time nor the desire to learn how to draw, but anyone who wants to sell ai generated "art" as art needs to find the nearest volcano and investigate
I've gotta say, though. Using Novel AI has been a great opportunity for drawing practice, because you can draw an image and upload it as a base for the AI, and worry as much or as little about the detail as you like. I haven't shared any AI generated stuff I've "made" publicly yet, and if I do, I'll post it with the base, if there is one, and make it clear it was generated.

If AI becomes a real deal in the future more and more, then I can say...there will be much much less interest in art and animation becuz those things comes out of real shit of patience, hard work, energy, time, etc. If that AI thing gets on social media and users mis-use it on animations or art stuff...then sadly, there won't be fun anymore. Not only fun, a lot of passion, dreams and imagination will come to an end. It's all over! There will be a social media where art and animations will almost be ignored, even if someone did it without AI.
Naah art isn't so much about how it looks, but what it says, what thoughts, symbols and emotions you portray. Art that just looks good isn't relevant in the long run. Even if the technology evolves to the point that you can just think of a story and everyone can see it in great detail, if the story is trash nobody will be moved and it will be irrelevant.

Artists should just make a Syndicate, even if it's just online to post their artwork, it will prevent not only stealing from techbros and such to use their work to feed an algorithm, but also avoid other problems as people in ebay using their artworks to sell shirts and a big etcetera. Heck, even an art page with a protection clause will work, or even forcing people who make ai "art" to put watermarks on the works generated via AI Edit: seeing how the trend has made "progress" i will risk to say, it maybye will not be necessary, this fashion about "art tech" probably already has a timer on his head.
@@pikaa-si9ie the problem is where to start, there's some options but they will cost some preparation, time, maybye money and organization. The "association of concept artists" started something similar, but i don't know if they achieved something sustancial, last time i checked they tried to make other pages put protection clauses to some sites, but nothing more i heard. that would be a good advance, even better if sites like artstation, or other art sites could implement that (that doesn't fully stops someone from stealing your art, but it gives you the tools to make them take your work out)
update: the syndicate wasn't needed, the concept art organization and a formal lawsuit (aside from a 2008 debate about a monkey picture... yes a monkey selfie saved us) was enough to send this debate to hell, we are winning this.
When I look at Machine Learning generated work it always gives the feeling of deja vu to me, like I've seen it a thousand times before even though I've never seen it.
'Cause it's a statistical average of millions of other artworks. Even if you're being honest and ethical with how you *use* the AI, and aren't telling it to deliberately copy a specific work, it'll still look like a Weird Al style parody of whatever you ask for. Especially if you prompt-engineer with terms like "trending on ArtStation" or what have you, which is basically deliberately asking for trend-chasing work. For what it's worth, it is possible to get the AI to spit out stuff that doesn't look like that, but it involves either playing around with textual inversion, fine-tuning, Dreambooth, inpainting, or prompt-engineering. The people who are using AI as another tool in the toolbelt are drowned out by the people using it as a bullshit spam tool.
@@SuperSmashDolls Yup. I've seen a few really good results, but they've obviously been touched up by a human hand I think, especially if the eyes are not swirling death abysses that Machine Learning typically makes.

@@cingcing3540 sorry for breaking your bubble, but many will leave art not because they stopped enjoying it, they will leave it because nobody eats love for breakfast. You can argue that you can get another job and still make art as a hobby, and you'd be right, but every artist aspires to make art for a living, as few things are more glorious than living what you love. and that will be the first thing we will lose when AIs make freelancers obsolete, and the only ones who can make a living from it, are those who sell art as a method of money laundering.
I work as an Artist and we had some dude that joined us.Turned out that he was using AI to "draw" and got the job but was quickly verified by life when he (naturally) wasn't able to do the work when he had to draw something specific or to correct things.Fucking clown.
Ai artists don't exist. I'll prove it. When I give an artist prompts and money in exchange for an original artwork then I'm comissioning an artwork. When I give ai prompts and money in exchange for an original artwork Then I am the artist? AI artists are not artists, They're ai art comissioners. At best the programmer is the artist.

Liking something isn't the same as making it
Late reply ik but A tool for what exactly? Seems to me like it was specifically designed to replace artists who make money through commissions If you wanted it to generate reference images you're better off just searching the internet yourself
@ennope9005 even though AI can generate really impressive images, it will always have difficulty trying to make art as perfect as a human can if it can't even draw hands properly 😅 This is just coming from me, but AI art should be used for inspiration, y'know like instead of imaging it and having a hard time keeping that image in your head, you can see it better on screen and shape it into what you originally want your art to be. You should also mention that you used AI art afterward if you want to share your work because it's better you tell the truth rather than hide the fact you used it because it also shows you have integrity.
I am an artist and I also like making ai art for FUN, but I HATE when people try to pass it off as theirs. I was scared when AI art became a thing that people would of course use it to steal art. :(
It'd be funny if there are actual artists who manage to adopt the stereotypical AI artstyle on some of their traditional artwork on paper as a "im a better bot" to piss them off. Then if they try to feed the art on an AI, they one-up the Ai users by being more of a menace in doing a "much better AI" of the art, and critiquing their way of AI art cause "its not AI enough".
