AI is Evolving Faster Than You Think Pt. 2 (Art and Beyond) 

This man did a great thing by releasing the photo but not accepting the award. He proved the power of AI

Absolutely spot on with the major record label analysis. They'll make it illegal until they can harness their own version .

Past me: I can hardly wait for AI to advance so that it can do technical things while we humans can focus on art and entertainment. Now me: this is not what I expected.

As an artist I'm having a hard time with how I feel about it. On the one hand, it replaces my ability to just be an illustrator. On the other hand, it makes me feel like I'm an art director, and it could help me do projects that I, in the past, would have needed a TEAM of people to work on. So, do I miss the old ways? Or do I prefer being a fake art director? I feel like I could more easily make a video game than ever, as an example. I can only make so many assets on my own, but AI can help me figure out colors, and even character designs, so I can just illustrate them into my game.

There’s one aspect of our life that A.I. art encompasses and fits rather brilliantly - it’s the speed of the content that is pumped out and instantly forgotten. This whole “speed” thing is the bane of human artists: you spend hours (often days, months, maybe years sometimes) crafting your piece, then when it’s done you put it out… aaaand it’s rendered irrelevant after several minutes, buried under the speedy stream of content. You get your “5 minutes of fame” (or maybe not even that) and the thing you put so much effort and dedication into is literally gone, cast into oblivion, buried. So, throughout recent years, the only way to “stay afloat” for artists was to create a constant “online presence”, to pump out as much content as possible to “beat the stream” and stay relevant. With A.I. art this whole thing becomes irrelevant since one can technically create an infinite stream of A.I. art, thus boosting one’s “online presence” to infinity - “a new piece every second!” So, what I’m driving at is that a sort of paradigm shift is required in terms of how we access art, how we appreciate it, and how we value it. No idea how it’ll turn out, though.

Three years from now, we won’t even recognize this world anymore…

I REALLY appreciate these AI videos! Having someone update me on all of the things AI happening is worth while. It can be hard to glean updates on my own.

There is a reason why we learn math even though the calculator was invented Still draw realistic drawings when the camera was invented Still play physical instruments when digital instruments were invented We don't do it because it's the most efficient way, the best way, or the fastest way We do it to grow

It's so ironic that the one thing we always said AI would never be able to do (creativity, art), is one of the first things it's actually good at

3 ColdFusion videos on AI in 3 months, we’re screwed

My son is an artist. He wants to make a living with art and now I'm even more sceptical of that future. That established artist crying on camera broke my heart.

As a designer, I'm inspired, follow trends (even if I think I'm being original), and mould into something new for others to enjoy. None of my work has ever been copyrighted because I'm a Landscape Architect. I just keep improving. Now with Ai all of Architecture as an industry is in fear. The reality is that packages of work (normally 5-10 stages of packages) would take three people, two mid-level and one senior, two weeks (10 days) often one long day due to alterations/mistakes etc. With Ai with decent libraries, one person 2 days if not quicker. So thousands of surplus designers, graphics renderers, rendering programmes etc. Gone. So Keynes was right after all about needing to find time for leisure, UBI? it's just who owns the asset? And at what price. Should be elected transparent governments, not DAVOS-type corporations. It's all down to RENT.

I’ve worked in Silicon Valley for decades as a programmer. The reactions are the same I witnessed from newspapers, music labels, and others. People get angry when they’re faced with becoming redundant from new technology. Even my programming job is going to be extremely diluted within the next 5-7 years. It’s just the nature of human curiosity. Change is always occurring, we’re just living in a time where the pace of change accelerates so quickly we get to witness multiple cycles in a single lifetime, making it far more impactful / noticeable.

I've just discovered your channel two weeks ago, and I'm blown away by the quality of your videos. This is high-standard journalism.

I recall the first fully automatic loom at the beginning of the industrial age. How the German weavers tried to weave against it and starved at the loom. The German guild forbade such machines at that time, so that everyone had work and a living. In addition, the guild preserved human creativity and diversity.

I learned my skill as a paste up artist 40 years ago when most stuff was done by hand - retouching etc. 12 years after I left college, I got my first computer and have learned all the iterations of photoshop and other graphics software. I learned to combine my hand drawn illustrations with the digital effects and efficiency of graphics software. We have to adapt - it is one of our strengths as humans. I am experimenting with AI image generation and then combining it with my own illustrations and digital skills in photoshop. I believe we need to see AI as a tool that we direct our concepts with, build on and innovate with. It is not going away any time soon. However, I do feel that how images are sourced by AI should somehow be legislated for so that living artists are not left without a way to live because people are making knock offs of their work. It is a dichotomous and difficult dilemma- this I will agree on.

Continue putting out these AI updates. Excellent job including impactful philosophical questions society is forced to answer and weaving them into current events news stories.

I've read Yohei's prompts that he used to create BabyAGI and he most definitely has at the least some coding experience. The vocabulary that he used in his prompts were coding terms.

Tbh I dont think Artists have anything to fear. I think art made by humans will always ultimately be sought out more than AI generated art.

Love your AI videos. You are doing a much better job than the broader media.

His podcast is underrated. Super cool to listen to you two talk normally about this subject and then see this incredible video about it. def subbed to both channels

Awesome video. The pace of technological change is mind blowing. I am 55 years old and my first computer (circa 1981) didn’t even have a hard drive - you had to load the OS from 5.25” floppies (which took about ten minutes) and the entire system was 64k. Games were mostly text based. Graphics was like “Pong”. Nowadays we carry more powerful computers everywhere we go. The next few decades will be even more mind blowing until Skynet wipes us out.

I see it as a double edge sword, on the one hand allowing great creativity, while on the other destroying some artist's incomes and careers. It is an immensely complex issue.

I love how the images on Ai videos constantly morph around the same thing continuously, eventually becoming completely different from the first image, but not too far off, feels almost like how in a dream, a place is mostly not consistent, a room, in some dreams that i remember is always shifting it's layout, like in this dream where i and a friend where in a house, hiding from a sound that was not pleasant coming from the outside, felt like something dangerous, although the lighting kept consistent, dark with low yellow lights, the house initially had corridors, but each time i looked around it was changing, until it was a simple four walls house, with furniture and stuff inside, but different from what it initially looked like, and with me and my friend still hiding in expectation on what was the seemingly dangerous thing outside, some Ai videos feel like that when i see them, and that is really cool, makes me think that there are some similarities on how we imagine things and places, and how Ai process and recreates a base image, if you get where i'm trying to say. So i really enjoyed your video sequence in the end of this video.

Dude your content is unreal. Thank you so much for your research and development 🙏🏼

Hire an AI lawyer to defend your AI art.

This reminds me again that they have the potential to create deep fakes and are able to destroy one's life completely in seconds. This is so scary.

Yo bro your audio is very well mixed this time. a lot better than a few videos ago! Less pops and crispy mouth noises and the max decible level is perfect, at least for my earbuds xD.

I love how frequent you're giving us these AI updates. Thank you!

As a musician I have to say, people who are making art just for the sake of it becoming a career will be disappointed anyway. Most of the people I know who are making music or creating art would continue to do so regardless if they're making money or not. They didn't make any considerable money before generative AI as well... Also I believe people connect to art because of the artists journey and the hard work they put into it. That's the whole reason social media is huge for bands and artists in general because the audience want to be part of the journey. I truly believe people will be looking out for artists they can connect to more than ever. Keep doing what you love!

Thanks for your effort into these videos. I never miss your videos

Thank you for this. Your videos continue to inspire and provide a landing for discussion.

Thanks for another great episode. I can’t get enough given the fast pace of development. Always appreciate your ability to summarize and lay out the key points. Keep going on AI topics please!!

Wow that bot ordering the pizza was incredible :o when OpenAI released Dale2, I already knew we were too far ahead but it's hard to wrap my head around every realm of AI. It's scary

Whether Actual Artist "steal" or "borrow" makes no difference...they are still artists and have to create it with there own hands, mind and skill...its not just writing the right words to get a computer to do all hard stuff. Never stop creating ...! we need it as humans..we need real music with emotion aswell..it is so important to humans..things that make us feel.

I wish I'd known about this channel before: wow, it's not just that your production is super sophisticated; it's the ideas you express.

im not an artist but my 2 cents are that artists will fill a similar niche to skilled carpenters or blacksmiths, they wont go extinct but a lot may. nobody needs a fancy handmade custom wooden chair to sit on but there will always be people out there who will be willing to pay very good money for it. my guess is that most art people see in 5+ years will be AI generated but companies and individuals will still seek out human artists for certain projects.

The pace is such that things must change in the time it takes Dagogo to produce these cutting edge videos. Always a quality production.

DAMN dude!! The quality of this video brings tears to my eyes. You put so much effort into this. 10/10 bro

Wow this is a very well researched and informative piece. Well done mate 👏

I really enjoyed your analysis on historical precedent regarding technology and how artists adapted to it.

As an artist myself, I started learning traditional arts like everyone, but I also started to learn photoshop and how to make manipulate digital images to create new works of art. I think people who are crying over the introduction of AI art didn't experience the transition into consumer level digital art. They are used to being able to use Photoshop, Procreate, and the 1000 other digital painting platforms out there, so for them this new thing that can repeat their work so quickly is scary. Just like when painters said the camera was scary, photographers didn't like photoshop, it was scary. Thing is everything is scary until you learn to use it. AI art can create crazy stuff now, it's not all good, but a good artist can make it amazing once they stop being scared. I love playing with AI art, I can create images of things that I don't know where to start with them. Use that and make my own work, it gives me the spark or the glimpse into my imagination that age is making harder to see. Haha

Thank you for yet another thought-provoking video! Link to the pictures of Bezos, gates etc as poor? They were brilliant! I would say that they were indeed piece of art, and very powerful.

Brilliant. As a stock photographer I will be going back over my collection and tinkering with them to produce more interesting compositions.

I'm an unpublished fantasy-writer. And it's just a matter of time before AI can create entire works of fiction on it's own. Even less time before aspiring writers will use an AI to help them write books. There's a lot of people with ideas for stories, but far from everyone has the skill or time to write it. I used to imagine creating my world and the stories I want to tell would take up my entire life. But with AI, maybe it can be done in a matter of months? It's scary to think about, and I'm not sure if I think it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's a bit like winning the lottery instead of working.

Bro, I just made a university presentation on the exact topic with some of the same examples today and now you drop that Video! Feeling deeply connected, love you and your Videos. Keep it up.

Forty-odd years ago a poet 'wrote' several poems by creating a number of lines of text and randomly choosing the order. He actually won an award that was later revoked because the judges ruled that the computer was the actual author. NOTE: this wasn't AI, just a random number generator and the poet wrote every line.

Your vids are so well produced!

Thank you a very insightful summary of the unfolding developments with generative AI and the arts, copyright, ethical considerations and such a powerful tool that is only in its infancy. As an arts educator it has left me with a lot to think on concerning learning, teaching, evaluating and qualifying.

Very enjoyable as always. AI generated images vs human created art reminds me of the quartz vs mechanical movements crisis a while back. In the end, these two (vastly different) technologies found a way to share the market by catering to different consumer preferences i.e. accuracy & a tool vs user involvement & tangible craftsmanship. But admittedly it’s very early days, so we’ll just have to wait and see. Keep up the good work!

Brilliant video and information - Well done - you are well informed with the data that you used in this video and others. Keep up your good work - you are getting noticed on RU-vid. Shalom and God bless.

Great video. My thouth about how copyright could work if goal is to protect human part of creation: Digital art created fully or partially by AI can be copyrighted by author. Any AI art generated from prompt that specifically use copyrighted work can be partially or fully owned by author of original art (depending on how much of original was preserved). Copyright of AI art can be aquired only if input prompt is included.

Loving the videos and look forward to your research into the topic. I was an artist in the past. Now ever adapting to new mediums. I like how someone mentioned that everyone will act as art directors, giving the prompt to AI. Then choosing which look and feel will be the final choice.

So growing up, from kindergarten, I was praised for my drawings. as a small lad in the 90s, I grew up thinking I had some sort of magical talent that made me special. And it turns out that's because most people never get encouraged to be creative even though it's literally a skill that will be extremely vital whether you are a scientist, an engineer, or an artist. In school, kids would literally pay me to draw them stuff... In class, everyone wanted to hear my short stories... My creativity was nurtured by other people's enthusiasm for my work. My creativity was also nurtured by the dozens of hundreds of games and movies that are now either classics or cultural icons. As the 2000s rolled on, and as the people around me got older I noticed this praise also came with a side of jealousy. The number of amazing games and movies and shows fell further and further apart. And even later yet, by the early to mid-2010s I noticed various forms of resentment or hostility from friends or coworkers who were in non-creative fields. Comments like "only kids with rich parents or idiots go to art school". Friends or coworkers unknowingly belittle my profession as little more than a slab of paint to make things presentable rather than being a crucial part of the team. Games and movies became ever-repeating copies of each other with few gems far and few in between. Deep down, It seemed like the general consensus was that if you were creative, you were probably either too stupid or too lazy to become an engineer, lawyer, or doctor. And this mentality was reflected in the types of media we were fed through popular culture. dust it off to corporate greed or whatever else you want, people do not value creativity anywhere near as much as they did in the 90s. Just look at the gaming industry, it used to be led by imaginative entrepreneurs, but now it's led by suits who think of the artists as nothing but slaves. And they struggle to understand why indie games get more praise than their shitty unimaginatively directed products. Now drum roll please because if you thought that was depressing, wait till you hear about the wonders of AI "art". If the "versificator" from Orwell's 1984 wasn't a hint of what's to come, then I don't know what is. Artists are so lowly valued in society that we call the people who generate images using diffusion models "artists". The fact that a bunch of jumbled-up stolen art doesn't meet standards for being eligible for copyright MAKES NEWS LOL! Everyone, even artists, EVEN I tried to tell myself that these are just more tools in our arsenal. It will not replace artists just aid them!... But it's hard to have that mindset once it generates a bunch of stuff with literal watermarks and signatures on it. Let's just put aside the fact that this AI stuff is vomiting art it ate from its guts for a second, I'm all for progress and not being the grumpy old man who can't cope with new technology. But how we get to new technologies matters as much as the tech itself. Stealing literal work is unethical, period. Now we're all second-hand thieves and somehow we as artists are supposed to be cool with it or become obsolete. So I thought and thought about all this. What's the point of learning any more new tools? in a few months, you'll be able to type in a prompt and get fully textured 3D models... Literal videos, animations, you name it. Why bother? I thought maybe we as a society don't deserve art. To put it harshly. fuck it, why should I make anything beautiful for you ungrateful idiots? Drown in your ever-recycled vomit of defiled art corpses for all I care. Then it hit me, or maybe it's my unrelenting optimism (another creative trait, and one that seems to be lacking in society lately)... This whole AI "art" thing is a literal Ouroboros. As the last few imaginative minds in the world see no future for themselves in the creative fields, there will be fewer and fewer artists. We will slowly venture into a new dark age where technology is the oppressor. The existing artwork in the library of these generative AI will recycle through itself billions of times, no new styles will develop... as the nonimaginative minds are too scared of change anyway.. people will forget what it's like to look at a piece of art and see a piece of god in it. Until we deserve it again... until we see it again.. until we've had enough and we enter a new renaissance... and so the cycle will continue. at least until whoever is running this simulation gets bored of the repetition, or the AGI takes over, or we nuke ourselves like a bunch of angry idiotic monkeys.d

I like wandering around on Red Dead Redemption 2 and taking photos with the in game camera, then uploading them to the Rockstar Social Club, then saving them to my PC and using them as desktop wallpapers. It’s nice to see pictures I’ve taken myself in the world, and I remember each one I took. They really do mean something to me, I spend quite a while moving my character, composing my shots, calling in a wagon to stand on to get more height… it can be quite a long process, but I love it, and I love the end results, and I love how I feel when I see my picture on the desktop 😊

As a photographer and digital artist, I definitely see the concerns, however for those truly dedicated to the art, I think it will just become another tool. I have tried using it and maybe it can and is replacing some works/ jobs. The thought of a more difficult time getting jobs is scary, however the way I am going to see this is as a time saver. Maybe before where one would have to draw every tree, rock, and element of an image, the time it took would limit what was possible. Now you can generate elements it would be really time consuming to find or create by hand. The time saved greatly expands the scale and scope of pieces that are possible. Maybe some would say thats less genuine but to me art is about expression. As an artist rather than use this to generate the whole image (which I found lackluster anyways,) it to me really shines as a tool to create really specific things that I can then choose how to use in a larger piece. When I start a piece I just let the ideas flow and my unique thoughts/ mood, memories, and life experience all factor into the kind of art I do. Even if one day we get truly sentient AI that can imagine things way crazier than I could ever do, it will still not diminish the love that I have for being able to sit and imagine something and make the ideas in my head come to life. It could not come close to my style or stealing my identity because the works I do come from memories of photos of places that really exist and hold meanings and emotions, and the very process of assembling it in a way that's meaningful to me is something I cannot see being replaced. Is the AI trained in my life? The touch of humans on their work is something I do not see ever being fully replaced. I have never felt more free to imagine vast scenes of the imagination and see dreams realized, and this has been an exciting tool that I hope to adapt alongside and integrate. I really do hope that's the right path, maybe it isn't. Even if one day it does get so easy to generate art that no one buys anything anymore, I would rather be on the side that tried to adapt to a new tool than sit back and reject a new technology and be forgotten. I have already within my circle noticed that the friends who have used the new AI's as tools have felt not that it was stealing but that it was giving a new voice to people. Maybe for the people that don't want more artists to compete with thats a bad thing, but I want to see what happens in the world when art becomes easier. I feel like this is going to be like what happened with computers for the art industry. I am sure that right now there are already artists using this to make some absolutely mind blowing shit that probably could not have existed before. Maybe the AI is making parts of an image, but the way it assembled, imagined, and even prompted all are inputs from humans.

Kudos to you, Dagogo! 🙌 You've been ahead of the curve since the AI Revolution took off just six months ago. Thanks for helping us keep up with the whirlwind developments! 🚀

Maybe I'm late and it's already a thing but please make more videos like this from time to time. This is a fascinating series and your channel has become my go-to source for updates in the AI world recently. Of course I love your other type of videos as well being a relatively old subscriber. Keep up the good work, cheers Cold Fusion!

Just goes to show that when I double majored in Studio Art and Computer Science 25 years ago and after graduation was not so subtly pushed towards coding by my parents and away from drawing and painting, as sad as it may seem, it was the right choice. AI can do some rudimentary code now, but the artwork generated does make illustrators disposable.

If I was still drawing, I'd appreciate to be able to handle curvature derivates, color gradients and apply colors according to the vector fields I have in my mind when thinking about the form my head wants the depiction to have. I can't even change/mix the colors while applying it continuously at the paper. I am rather envious an AI can do those things (badly, but much better than humanly possible) on the fly. Creativity is always mixing together learned things and adding some randomness, even if those particular combinations of experiences/knowledge have never been combined before. Artists don't do anything different, it is just the way the conscious mind works... and even purely logical thought processes follow a certain pattern, accessing thoughts rather randomly, whatever comes to mind during a certain mood or state of mind. It would take too long to go into details, so I'll just cut it here. People should not complain about an AI or someone else doing the same job better, even if they put a lot of effort into acquiring those skills. The most important thing is whether society as a whole wants to invest the power required to run AI for such rather trivial tasks or not and how to distribute generated goods/wealth to society, when not everyone needs to work to produce them.

The moment AI can draw hands we are done for. But thankfully the human artists, whose works the AIs train on can't draw hands either.

Thing with tools like photoshop is, they have a learning curve which filters out those who'd rather have someone else do it. As such, to maintain your relevance as an artist, you're obliged to go that extra step to maintain your relevance. Now what AI is doing is basically taking instructions which a client would have given an artist, and giving them results faster than an artist would read the prompt and reply to the client. Are artists still going to get work, yes. Will it be worth it to put in the years of practice needed to become a good artist? I don't think so. Commercial art such as posters, concept renders and even book covers will be easier to output with AI, and the need to hire people who are now paid to do that will be hard to justify as a business expense. I'm an illustrator and animator, and It took me years to get the skills I have now. I'm not optimistic about a future as a career artist anymore, especially after seeing that even comics can be generated using prompts. This is not about learning to use the tools to improve your own work, it's about realizing that what I've invested to become has now been relegated to a disposable middle-man position. Guess it's time to go back to school and consider a career as a plumber or welder...before some other smart guy decides to automate those too, just for kicks.

6:09 that "good bye" was bone chilling man...

When I create a painting, it is a process which is very meditative and I do it because I love to create with all my heart.

"The worst that it will ever be" is so exciting and haunting at the same time

Love the discussion at the end! AI arts are giving birth to new definition of arts. But the interview with the female digital artist broke my heart. I have many fav digital artists I followed. Most of them are people with anxiety disorder, autistic and other mental issues which made it hard for them to work 'normal' jobs. Drawing gives them chance to pay for living expenses in the safe place of their home. Thinking that some of them may gave up on drawing just because it cant pay for their living is heartbreaking

This video is mind-blowing! It's incredible to see how rapidly artificial intelligence is evolving and the potential implications of this advancement. From self-driving cars to medical diagnosis, AI has the power to transform so many different industries and aspects of our lives. It's both exciting and a little scary to think about what the future might hold as AI continues to progress at such an incredible pace. Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking and informative video! - sincerely chatgpt 😉

14:20 tbh the reason I do anything creative is to see the final product. I suppose the journey can be seen as valuable, especially if there are different variations that lead to the final product, but still... Drawing is just so damn difficult for me personally, and jumping over that hurdle is quite hard in of itself... and also quite time consuming.

You are one of the best documentary creators. I love your work.

Honestly the rate that AI is evolving at is something I would’ve never ever imagined a few years ago.

I think a possible starting point is developing a reliable way to communicate how any creative work was produced. So if a human comes up with the prompts that the A.I. uses, and then the human works with the A.I. and other editing tools to refine the art to match their creative vision...in that case, I would give more credit to the artist, and possibly accept a copyright. The amount, and level, of creative 'work' done by the human is an important part of the origin story of the work. It doesn't make it more inherently valuable, but it will be more valuable to some, so they should be able to know.

"what is art?" Is a question that has been getting asked for as long as the word has existed and nearly every time the answer is "what ever the artist says is art."

Excellent analysis as usual! 😃 The seemingly unstoppable advancement of AI is both very scary and very exciting.

I love your channel! Always well spoken and captivating! Thank you ColdFusion!!

I think this will end up being good for artists. First people will realise how good these AI's are at producing incredibly authentic art and then they will start to question if the art being made is real or not. If an artist can prove that they produced it manually then it will earn them heaps of respect. It already happens to a degree with photography. Sometimes people can accuse a photo of being fake or photoshopped and if you can prove it wasn't then you'll earn more respect.

I will alway commission Artist, the hardwork they put in to make the work pop out is always amazing.

Only humanity can create something that will replace them, thoroughly.

Your AI videos are awesome. I don't follow the AI progress that much so your videos are great summary of the recent advancements. Hope you keep it up!

I am proposing this solution as perhaps the only way artists still can benefit from they work being used on any AI platform. 1- AI image creation platform should charge per each creation of an image and can not be unlimited. 2- Each created AI images should include the data and source of where it generated the images from, which could be a few images or art work or sequence of much more. 3- There should be a system of regulators that monitor this platform in order to know which artists used in the keyword to generate the AI work. 4- Artists should have access or at least notified when their work been used to generate AI work. 5- The charges should be based on the selection of the keywords related to artists, and artists are the ones to set the cost when some one use there name or work style in the keyword. 6- There should be a negotiation between artists and AI platform about the percentage of the Income created by using their work. 7- For Old art work by late dead artists, the owner of any work, whether an individual or museum or gallery, they have the right to gain part of the income from those used their own work to create AI work. 8- Artist also should have the legal right to refuse their name or work been used of the search on AI platform if they choose to. This is only if the above point can be achieved, and the most important part is that each generated image should make the data embedded in the file, which includes all the sources from images, files, and keywords, artist name been used in the text to create the images. Perhaps this may sound unrealistic idea, but I struggle to think of any other solution than a system that can reward artists for the fact their work been used and someone else takes the benefits of their hard work.

Now this is what quality documentary should be.... 👌👌👌✨

This channel is SO underrated. Great stuff!

Im loving these videos! Can you make a part 3 on more experimental AI programs and the future of AI?

I vote for Artist getting compensated for any works that ave been used in Data sets. Artsits should always get paid for their talents

Really great video. Well explained everything going on with A.I

The thing that makes art for me is the fact that real people came up with an idea, and put pencil to paper to create it. The ability to actually execute an idea is what makes art special. AI genererated art is indeed art but its not the same as human art.

The AI revolution is legitimately the greatest cultural impact mankind has experienced since the wheel.

I think A.I art should be based on a joint effort, where A.I is exclusively trained using art that has been submitted by artists voluntarily as well as art pieces that are no longer copyrighted. This would slow down the development but also be a more ethical approach as it would leave artists who do not want to partake to be able to keep creating their unique art without too much risk if being usurped.

I think it's obvious that AI art will almost entirely demolish career artistry (I say almost, because there will always be a desire from some for a human element). BUT! I think what most artists fail to realize is that AI's dominance is in ALL fields, and that means we are heading towards universal basic income very soon (I'd say

In less than a decade, AI will change the way we live.

Like you said, it's as bad now as it will ever be. It's current shortfalls will be overcome, and there is nothing that can be done to stop that. There will be no "prompt experts" in the future. It will become truly creative and it will work for free. My only hope is that society can make peace with that. It's marvelous technology, but there are uncertain times ahead unlike anything our species has dealt with before. It's a sudden jump in capability, and sudden changes are always difficult to adapt to.

Really cool VIDEO! How do you keep track of all this AI News :D everything is happening so fast

I'm a student learning GDES and I say to everyone that AI doesn't generate by its self. Someone sometimes spends hours on Midjourney trying to get it to produce. I believe it to be a tool, but should never replace the value of human creativity or design. I think that presently we do need to set ground rules for how we indulge in the AI community. If the time given at a process to produce a work of Art is that of considerable complexity and has extensive effort attached to whom generated it, well then it should be recognized respectfully. I spent hours working prompts to produce a vector icon. And when I'm contracted by a client that wants this "button" specifically, I feel it is worth every penny of my time. Who is the one that needs to give their clients what they want? Me, the designer, not AI, because our clients really have little of an understanding to what is required to develop our work, from start to finish. At the end of the day people want their cake and want to eat it too!

I'm a wide ranging person in that I like creativity, technology, philosophy, etc. but I do feel for visual artists in particular and those who have especially put so much time/energy into that one craft. The rise of creative AI does concern me but with a wide range of interests, my heart is not stuck in one specific place so perhaps it's easier for me to deal with and adapt. Of course, though, if AI creativity replaces human creativity entirely then that would be depressing. I think the human touch will remain popular to a large degree but how popular is impossible to say at this stage.

As an artist this really hurts my feelings, the drawing style used by each artist is unique and developed not in days, or months, but years of development, and AI just takes the result which really frustrating.

i remember watching your content years ago with gpt thing, i dont really mind it and just watch some large business history, and then look at us now

Brilliant watch! We cannot let the artists starve! These image-tech companies must give royalty based payments to everyone whose work they used. Easy. But on top of that, ongoing usage should mean more payments to these artists. Keep paying them cos the A.I. model is still using their works to create new things!!

Another fantastic video on AI, unbiased and thought provoking. Please keep it up!

When he said "AI is not photography" I remember back in the day photographers saying "digital photography is not photography".

In an episode of Futurama maybe from the 1st or 2nd season. The opening credits for a show the characters were watching listed a bunch of robots who worked on the show and only ONE HUMAN WAS LISTED! Matt groening predicts the future not only with the Simpson but Futurama as well.

Great video ColdFusion and I like your videos so much :]
