The fact that AI had to leech results from Reddit is already an example of people migrating away from algorithms. The whole reason people added 'reddit' at the end of their google searches in the first place was so that they'd get results from an actual human instead of ad recommendations
Every time I browse Reddit nowadays every few posts has a reply that’s obviously AI. Search engine AI feeding off Reddit reply AI does not sound like a good time. Maybe we should add weird characters like ‽ and ⅖ into posts so AI figures out it can use those characters and start getting even worse
No, we did that because google results suck, when even 10 years they would get you what you actually wanted and not what someone rigged their SEO to put in the first page.
@@acookie7548 I like the idea of everybody deliberately AI poisoning their Reddit posts, maybe we could make a browser plugin that replaces all characters with other Unicode characters that look exactly the same to humans but would result in uncommon or nonexistent tokens
I feel really bad for artists who make hyper realistic art online and get bombarded with so many, "IS THIS AI??" stuff. Such a sad time for artists right now. :(
it sucks for everyone. the real artist and the user wanting to see real art. the artist has their stuff mixed into a flood of ai garbage so no one can find it and the user mostly sees ai garbage so you'll start to get paranoid that every art you see could be ai.
Lets not forget that not AI is the main issue here but shitty people. Of course it sucks for the artist to get drowned in AI content, but it's another issue.
I now want to abandon my dream of being at least a somewhat noteworthy artist so I can inspire others into my hobby or just wow them and make people happy because my art will be turned against me now and everyone I want to make happy and other artists. I’m tired of this nightmarish money-rotted dystopia the world is becoming.
@@GruppeSechsehhhh people won't stop making art though. And it all looks cheap and swirly and the same it has a quality that everyone will notice and they won't want it because it'll look cheap. Like the live laugh love mugs.
This really spoke to me because I thought the same, it made me return to making art and enjoying it again because it feels like AI took the burden of making "productive" art exclusively for profit, i make art to express myself not to sell it
As a disabled artist, I’ve seen streamers modify their controllers to play with an amputated hand, artists with tremors who put a tennis ball on their ones, artists who learnt to draw using their feet. Ai does not help these individuals, adapting and overcoming does!
If they really cared about disabled people (such as myself) it would be way more helpful to fund research into conditions with little known about them, like my own fibromyalgia. The number one reason I will not practice or create anything is because of my chronic fatigue.
@@Lightning_bugsexactly! How about instead of spending millions of dollars on an AI that rips the creative freedom people with disabilities ARE capable of, you donate millions of dollars to funding research on the disabilities themselves or to programs that work to help disabled people be able to create for themselves in the first place?!
@@Lightning_bugsapologies, both the beauty of creation through humans and disability representation are things I’m highly passionate and get fire up about. I worked with students with disabilities when I was in high school. I often worked on creative things with them. We had a student with an extreme case of cerebral palsy. He can’t walk or talk on his own and his cognitive functions were impacted due to complications at birth. He was still such a happy person and I loved spending time with him. Fine motor control was hard for him, but I’d often join him in hand/ finger painting. I’d paint his hands different colors and I’d paint my own and we’d have fun putting color on paper. He loved this so much that he would jump with excitement in his wheelchair when the paint was brought out and he realized what we were about to do. We also did “paint balls” where he could pick up a ball dipped in paint and push it across a large paper and roll it and make some really cool abstract art. The most dangerous thing we let him do was hold a paintbrush and splatter on paper (dangerous in that we gave it to him and ran to avoid getting paint splatters on us lol). He loved creating those things. And AI would take away the innately human marks he made with his own hands and mind. He could point to the colors he wanted and liked. He would tell us when he thought he was done and satisfied with what he made by giving us a certain look or just setting the tool we gave him down. I’d hate for some dumb AI to come in and replace his joy of making art on his own, even if it’s not conventional art. Ack I get so fired up about this stuff lol 😅
The single most damning question about "AI" that I've seen is "Why would I want to read a book that nobody bothered to write?". It perfectly applies to all creative arts in relation to AI, and you've pretty much nailed it here.
That's what I'm starting to ask and they have no answer to it. Their goal is to be the ones producing AI slop while the rest consume it and pay for it but they dont realize NO ONE wants to do that and not even them. They are ruining it for us all the nerd fucks.
exactly. when i read im paying attention to the authors literary voice and how they word things, how the narrator views the world and how it effects their decision making and dialogue. all that stuff is nonexistent with AI because it’s all taken from existing works. i’ll just read the existing work
I was there, on Twitter. Some AI image generator users were complaining about other users stealing their prompts. There were users... arguing that one should copyright prompts... so that others don't steal them. My brain is not in shape for these kinds of mental gymnastics.
@@StardustCorvid Most NFTs were algorithmically generated, so the parts that made them up might have been created by humans*, but the final images were most frequently not. (*: later generations were/are not infrequently made from "generative AI" algorithms through and through.)
It feels like this “AI” craze is starting to transition from “wow, a computer made this? That’s such a cool novelty” to “this low effort garbage is everywhere and I don’t want to see it ever again”
@@Floridabaritoneboy to be fair, people use AI to refer to generative AI. Most don't complain about AI being used in an actually useful setting like GPS, because that's a good use of the technology, but when AI is used to just make a pretty picture it's just a waste of resources and research funds, while also having environmental problems, the fact that it could potentially impact the livelihood of artist, the fact it oftentimes steals from artists to train itself etc.
I like the term "Zombie Internet" The uncanny, shambling thing with a false life approaching you isn't a human. It kinda looks like one, it's made from what used to be very human, but it's not. And it wants to consume you

one thing that was interesting to see was how basically every subreddit quickly banned AI stuff as soon as the generators got popular, mostly not for ideological reasons, but because it’s consistently low-effort garbage that sucks
@@PunishedDadnah, there's really good stuff there, it just never hits the algorithms. Plenty of supportive communities and niche hobbies that were ripped from the regular web and consolidated onto reddit, sadly.
@@breannathompson9094yes! reddit is the go to place if you have a very specific issue. more than likely some tandom person on there 10 years ago had the same issues and in the commenst are the solutions. reddit is a godsend website- aside from the furry weeb cukture it propetuates.
@@issnotgenFRRR, which is why it’s so stupid that the ppl arguing in favor of AI are always like “oh but AI content is going to be so much better than human content ever could be” because the truth is, I don’t actually care if AI is better, I just want HUMAN-MADE CONTENT
I think the worst thing I've seen as an AI search result was in response to the search; "I'm feeling homicidal urges," to which Google's machine responded that you should kill a homeless person, as they won't be missed. This whole thing is a nightmare, nobody who hasn't made their entire personality AI wants it anywhere near anything they want to use with any regularity.
That's not really true- PEW research center shows a majority (57%) want AI to help with household chores that are routine or basic online tasks People want selective use, not necessarily abolishment
The worst part is that I'm sure none of the people responsible for all this AI crap actually use it in their daily lives. No one who has the ability to create these kinds of tools would be able to look past the glaring imperfections. It's like how the people who own big social media websites would never let their kids use it. They know exactly what these things are, they see right through it, but it makes them money so it's everyone else's problem now
As a virtual pixel artist, people try to copy my work with AI (which I find out about through posts) and I just get a laugh out of how HORRIBLE the outcomes look, yet they call it "art"
I’m on your side 100% but when you go to modern art museums and see the kind the kind of half-asses stuff that gets up there I don’t wonder why people try to make AI art to get ahead. Different mediums and contexts so that’s why I’m on your side I just also understand it
@@vintifada7115 the people who use AI art are the people who don't respect art as medium, but still want to be able to have the artwork without putting in any effort. It's laziness and greed in its purest form. "Why should i learn how to draw when AI can do it for me!" There's also the fact that a lot of the art that's in museums is often more of a medium to express some message rather than something made to look pretty or appealing to the eye. It's what makes art beautiful, you can have the hyper realistic drawing of an eye next to a pixel art of a dragon and a banana stuck to a wall and they all have their meaning and reason to exist. Art for the sake of making a beautiful drawing has become oversaturated to the point where that's not impressive or new, because there's millions of people who can do the same and you can just find thousands of them with a google search. This is the reason why museums have started putting up more "weird" art and art that's more focused on sending a message or art made in an innovative way (like someone making sugar sculptures, for example) rather than just pretty pictures, and it's also the reason why so many people don't understand or like modern art, because it's more than what they want it to be, it's more than just a pretty picture, it has depth and meaning, and whenever you point it out people just shrug and scoff. This obviously isn't to say a pretty picture can't have meaning, ofc it can and most often does, but again most people can't seem to look past the exterior appearance of it to find that meaning, so most people wouldn't care about the meaning if it was a normal piece of art.
@@vintifada7115 Stop comparing what "AI" tries to rip off with modern art crap. They don't even complain or care about "AI" because they have no reason to. It's concept artists and illustrators who get ripped off the most.
the way that drew seemed so genuinely angry at the ai video of him is so real and seeing in real time somebody's likeness being taken clearly against their consent makes me feel genuine dread. it's so messed up.
I keep seeing "RU-vidr sings!" videos popping up, as well as a court case of a very messed up teacher using an AI voice to get the principal fired so no one would look into him. We're going to see more and more like this too
There are even AI-generated pornographic images and videos of people that exist, even celebrities. I saw an interview with the actress Xochitl Gomez, who was SEVENTEEN at the time, talking about how she's seen content like that made of her and how scary it is that she can't do anything about it. AI stealing people's likeness in general is horrible, especially for pornographic content, and there needs to be legislation, but the sad truth is that the people who have the power to create that legislation probably couldn't even figure out how to download a PDF.
@@5falltv895 my issue isn't that it's being misused to make people think it is real, I just personally believe that you have a right to your likeness and it's a crappy thing to do for somebody to use it in an ai without your consent. even if there's no immediate repercussion it still feels like a personal violation and from the seems of it that's how he felt also.
“there really is something in how Al art cant get human hands right vs. some of the oldest art we have is our handprints on a wall.” -random tumblr post I saw a couple days ago
I saw that too. It really is beautiful in how human we are, trying to leave our mark and create something that lasts by projecting ourselves on cave walls, versus robots just trying to steal a bunch of art and throw it all together, or trust the first thing it finds on reddit
to be fair, many human artists also struggle with hands if it isn't them tracing their own. For some reason hands are just the bane of drawers, human or otherwise.
I liked most of the video, but I don't quite understand Drew's animosity towards AI generated videos. Unlike art or music models, video models don't steal anything from real artists. I have seen some of the videos featured by OpenAI, and while they were obviously cherry-picked, it still amazed me how their model has improved. You can recall how horrible and unrealistic videos like "Will Smith eating spaghetti" or "Rock eating rocks" were just a year ago, and now we have a car ride that you honestly can't tell from the real video. I really think Drew is being too harsh on a technology that is basically 2 years old, and that is rapidly developing.
@@ebashunegrovai video steals from artists as well, ai cannot generate anything from zero it needs material to do that and steals from videos taken by people that work on different fields, art, documentaries , films, etc, not to mention how unethical this all is as you can basically use private footage of people framing them for crimes, fake evidence or worse, we have already seen the consequences of that with deepfake with women and little girls who’s image and footage was used for revenge p*rn
@@ebashunegrov "The chase continues north in the city! Police helicopters are converging on Avenue 87 and Elm Grove Park!" Granger nodded. "They're faking. You threw them off at the river. They can't admit it. [...] So they're sniffing for a scapegoat to end things with a bang. Watch. They'll catch Montag in the next five minutes!" "But how-" "Watch." The camera, hovering in the belly of a helicopter, now swung down at an empty street. [...] On the screen, a man turned a corner. The Mechanical Hound rushed forward into the viewer, suddenly. [...] A voice cried, "There's Montag! The search is done!" The innocent man stood bewildered [...]. He stared at the Hound, not knowing what it was. [...] The Hound leapt up into the air [...]. Its needle shot out. [...] "Montag, don't move!" said a voice from the sky. The camera fell upon the victim, even as did the Hound. Both reached him simultaneously. The victim was seized by the Hound and the camera in a great spidering, clenched grip. He screamed. He screamed. He screamed! Blackout. Silence. Darkness. Montag cried out in the silence and turned away Silence. And then, after a time of the men sitting around the fire, their faces expressionless, an announce on the darks creen said, "The search is over. Montag is dead; a crime against society has been avenged." Darkness. [...] Granger turned [the viewscreen] off. "They didn't show the man's face in focus. Did you notice? Even your best friends couldn't tell if it was you. They scrambled it just enough to let the imagination take over. Hell," he whispered. "Hell." The above is a heavily abridged snippet from the climax of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. This, to me, is the true worry. AI may seem harmless now, but in what direction is it going? It's going for art now and as much as that sucks for artists, it isn't just artists who should be afraid. Art imitates life, so the better AI gets at mimicking art, the better it gets at mimicking life. We already see those who don't think critically and those on the fringes of society and the fringes of cognition (children and the elderly) being taken in by fraudulent AI images and stories. I've seen faked Joe Rogan podcast snippets and I know you've seen the fake image of the Pope in supposedly some new drip a few years back (the puffy white jacket image). So what happens as that continues to get better? What happens when someone deepfakes *you* doing something heinous? What happens when someone uses AI to create a video of something that "happened" ten years ago that changes history and manufactures a Mandela effect? That's essentially the power to rewrite history. Do you see, now, the true danger we have here? The Fermi paradox is the term for the contradiction between the seemingly high likelihood for the emergence of extraterrestrial intelligence and the lack of evidence for its existence. It has many proposed answers but one of the most popular ones is the Great Filter, the idea that there is some sort of milestone that a civilization has to pass in order to progress on the Kardachev scale and to be detectible. More than likely we have not hit the filter yet, whatever it may be - some think it's becoming a full Type 1 or Type 2 civilization. But what if AI is the filter? What if *this* is what does us in as a species. AI can indeed be a powerful and positive tool if ethically controlled and maintained, but considering our world gov'ts track record, more than likely it will be exploited and weaponized. Truth will get muddled because of AIs potential to overwrite and skew what we know. Art and culture, often all that remains and persists of ancient civilizations, will fade out and die. If you've watched Netflix's 3-Body-Problem, you may be familiar with just how damaging having something continually liquify truth in the field of science can be. All of that is why we should scrutinize and have a natural animosity to AI.
Fun fact: there was an actual study about the efficacy of parachutes compared to normal backpacks when jumping from a plane. It found no difference at all. Though, it has to be remarked that, for ethical reasons, they could only perform this test with the plane standing still on the ground. It's also notable that this paper was published on april 1st. Obviously, this context was completely overlooked by the AI.
i mean, a closed parachute and a normal backpack probably are pretty similar anyways. if the parachute doesn't open, they'd certainly serve the same purpose
It did mention that the study was on planes "within a few feet above the ground" at the very end if you look at it, but it still blatantly misunderstood the question.
It reminded me of this AI chat thing I used to play with in highschool (late 00s, early 2010s). I forget what it was called but it literally was just cyclical "conversations" where the AI would contradict itself. Glad to see nothing has changed in the last 10-15 years.
As a writer, it honestly disgusts me that people r showing up in writers groups pushing AI and saying that real writers r a dying breed. Meanwhile agents and lit mags are putting out statements that they refuse to accept AI written manuscripts. Then again, kindle is being inundated with that crap.
Adobe Stock is genuinely awful. As a casual artist, when I need a reference photo of a REAL animal, it's really annoying to see their gross AI images show up at the top of the search results.
This got me wondering about the fact that all AI generated images are copyright free? So…how are they charging for something that doesn’t belong to anybody? Why not just nick it from adobe? (I tried googling the facts here, but had already forgotten that google’s now just a game of boggle with every word previously typed online and am too hungry to delve deeper)
The best advice i can offer people now is to use the library. Yes it requires more effort and much much more time, but, for now at least, older print media may be our only source of trustworthy images
This has been my exact issue. At least it's less bad with the more obscure animals, but it's really frustrating when you just want a decent reference image and it's all just garbage. Why would I want some wonky looking ai amalgamation when looking up 'grizzly bear photography'? it's a mess.
I've gotten AI to make music and the only thing I do with it is write the most stupid, juvenile lyrics and get it to make a song that sounds like it has actual production value, and when it works it's like the funniest thing ever. Then I browsed the public libraries of other people's stuff and everyone else is taking it seriously, so it's all just generic noise. I guess it's the difference between using AI as a toy or as a tool, and as a tool it's usually pretty boring.
I feel like I'm constantly loosing interest in online stuff just because of how predatory things are becoming. Comment sections are flooded with bots or really mean people (like why?), and everything looks like a scam subscription to make me waste my money. Even the normal softwares are getting obnoxious
You'd be better off keeping to yourself with how the internet and its culture is evolving (or devolving). Gives ya more time to worry about youself and solve your own problems rather than put mental and emotional energy into something that may be real or just another scam or story made up for attention.
@@finelessI try and be genuinely kind to everyone to the point where people think I’m disingenuous or a bot online… I’m just a really nice person because I want to be. If you are nice it feels nice and they’ll maybe use that gained happiness boost to be nice to others and so on. I just want to make people happy and be happy man… I’ve been through a lot so I’d rather not add my pain to the world already full of too much. Its also extremely easy to be nice. Why not?
@@fineless You don't have to flatter or compliment someone to not be mean. Just continuing a conversation about whatever the video is about is fine as a comment. If you happen to have a negative opinion of whatever the video is, say why or keep scrolling. Getting angry about trivial things online is not good for ourselves or the state of the internet tbh. We shouldn't take rage bait either. It does nothing.
We're letting them open Pandora's Box because there's literally no way to stop them. Like seriously, how do you stop people from developing AI? And even if you could, how would you do it in EVERY COUNTY IN THE WORLD? Ban AI here, and all you're doing is giving China a completely monopoly on it
This helps feed into the fear-mongering that was the earliest advertising for AI. Hidden in the message that it is dangerous is the message that it is effective and powerful.
The rise of ai on pinterest genuinely hurts me. I love to crochet so I usually turn to pinterest of inspiration and jfc it’s filled with ai generated pictures of crocheted animals and clothes. It’s so obviously fake too, the stitches make zero sense. It’s such an insult to all crochet artists :/
YES i've seen others talk about this and it's extremely predatory especially to beginners who are just learning and looking for projects to try out. i'm getting back into crochet after years of not doing it, and it's sad how much more cross-reference i have to do with patterns. and pattern makers need even more testers who are public figures in the community just to prove that their patterns are legit. when i was first getting into crochet i could go online, find a free pattern and print it off without worrying whether i was being scammed by something ai-generated
I've had the same problem trying to find interior design inspiration on Pinterest lately. It's all the most bizarre AI nonsense where half the furniture / items in the house are impossible structures that make no sense and serve no purpose. It seems to think that everyone feels their house with needless clutter, or even so many plants that it's basically a jungle. It makes it basically impossible to use it as any kind of inspiration or starting point for a space that just so happens to actually exist in the physical realm.

@@pigeontoes5421 no it’s not incorrect. People engage in hate because it feels rewarding in some way, otherwise they wouldn’t do it. Humans don’t do things they don’t doesn’t gives them a sense of reward. It’s the basic function of evolution, every human behavior is driven by feelings, punishment and reward, things that feel punishing we don’t do, and things that feel rewarding we continue doing. Sadness and pain are punishments because it’s a result of behaviors that doesn’t benefit reproduction or survival. Happiness and fulfillment is rewarding because it’s a result of behaviors that benefit reproduction and evolution. Hate can feel rewarding in many different ways, it could make someone feel superior, powerful, and often includes social interaction in some form.

Would you pay the same for an AI art as you would for real art? No one on earth would, AI will never replace artists if people don't value AI art as much. Instead of actual art, AI is mainly used for advertising and other situations where you just want a pleasant picture to look at rather than a handwritten detailed painting

AI does not democratize art, free, open-source software like Blender does.

My father is trying to learn to cook better, and has been asking AI for recipes. They’re often terrible, over or undercooked, and he refuses to try other recipes.

I’ve asked him if he needs recipes, and he’s said he has them, and then they’re made by AI. He’s not a bad cook, he follows all the instructions, but the instructions are flawed, and he doesn’t understand that.
Wow that's dark. Sounds like the root issue (except for the AI itself) is that your dad, for whatever reason, rejects human content. Seriously, it's not a normal reaction to refuse recipes that work in favor of AI recipes that don't work...
People claiming that entering a prompt means they're an artist is like paying for a commission from an actual artist and then claiming that as your own work
Difference being, the art isnt art any more than the technology itself may be. Its bot too bad fir visualizing concept work or note keeping, but its absolutely horrible at anything actually creative. It really illustrates the difference between genesis and genius.
Yeah I don't care how many hours they spend on typing prompts, they're still not doing the bulk of learning that any artists go through to get good: colour theory, lighting, anatomy, shading, etc. "I'm not talented". Yeah, a shit ton of good artists were never talented in the first place, becoming an artist takes hard work, not just un-earned talents.
@@pong9000It’s understood that they didn’t do it themselves though especially if their guests know they suck at DIY projects. Not a great comparison for AI art as making art to the general public is some mysterious ritual that they don’t have the discernment to call out when it’s fake.
the rise of ai makes me think of that quote from jurassic park "they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should." we keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible and for no apparent reason at all. it's all just progress for the sake of progress
I think the real nail in the coffin for AI is that it looks cheap. Not the art itself, but the fact that a business using AI generated 'art' sends the message to customers and investors that it doesn't have the capital to pay a human being to create for them.
@@naesala Exactly. It's like yeah, you can technically show that you've "created" a product for your brand/company, but now I have zero faith in your business' ability to deliver anything real
I went to buy space-themed stickers for my daughter on Amazon, and the first dozen or so listings were just collections of AI-generated art stickers. I knew this would be a problem. On her last day of school, she came home with AI-generated art stickers from her school. They are hideous. One is a parrot without an eye and it has a separate tiny bird for a cheek. It upsets me sooooooo bad. Especially as an artist who wanted to really put myself out there... And now everything is gunked up. The internet has cancer. The internet is sick with an aggressive cancer.
That really struck me, calling AI cancer for the internet. You're right. That's one of the most well put things I've ever heard. It's excessive, it's bloat, it disguises itself as real, healthy art and it suffocates all things real and genuine until the internet dies. That just makes so much sense to me.
The irony is that the cancer is humanity. AI hasn't become sentient. It's not doing this itself. It's humans that are using AI to do this. WE are the problem.
Crazy how my parents would constantly tell me to not believe everything I see on the internet a couple years ago. Now they believe literally every AI post they see on Facebook and it makes me sad
Not just on Facebook it’s literally everywhere even the news! They seem to believe it all and don’t think to do 1 minute of research. Nope, they hear it and eat it up then spew their beliefs and use their age to claim they’re correct.
I feel like I need to have a sit-down talk with my parents about how to spot AI-generated images on facebook so they don't get fooled. I'm worried about them.
I also keep hearing people say AI music is gonna replace „bad" music but they reference genres like rap and hip-hop. It’s so rooted in classism and racism they deem rap and hip-hop „low-value“ and „easy to replace“.
idk why ai was made and immediately used to do artistic things. Robots are supposed to make life easier, not take away the few joys we have access to. Make ai clean the trash out of the ocean or something idk
The AI was made to do these things first because they are the easiest thing to do. Robots have been making people's life easier for decades now. You don't have to do laundry, dishes, lawn mowing, mopping or vaccuuming anymore unless you are petty enough to count the one minute it takes to load and unload things from the machines or to empty the roomba...
AI was "immediately" made to do artistic things... AFTER it was first used to do the following: - Voice recognition to help those who can't type - Audio Transcription to help those who can't hear or can't easily understand voices - Diarization to improve the above - Translation to help people communicate across the world - Image classification - Facial recognition - Content moderation to vastly (but imperfectly) reduce the amount of spam, adult, and absolutely vile content that you see - Optical Character Recognition to allow us to convert huge amounts of our history into digital form where it can be preserved - Voice synthesis to help those who can't see - Detect fraudulent transactions to prevent people who steal your card information from impersonating you as successfully - Analyze and classify tumors, neurological disorders and bone fractures
I'm glad someone isn't just saying "It's probably not ethical but you can't deny that its impressive" and turning to the more realistic "this looks like shit"
Claiming that AI has helped you “create art” is like going to McDonalds and ordering a burger and claiming that the employee “helped” you “cook” the burger. You told them what you wanted, and then you got it, but you didn’t make shit.
one of the first arguments against ai art was that its like getting a professional baker to make and decorate a cake for you and then passing it off as your own at a bake sale. you didnt make anything and youre taking credit for someone else's skill and labor
I'm a pastry chef. We've started to get people coming in with AI generated pictures of cakes asking for us to recreate them. Spoiler alert we can't. And then they get mad at US for false advertising our abilities. Like ma'am, you're showing me a picture on your facebook feed from a profile just titled Cakes. WE DID NOT POST THE PICTURE. NOBODY DID.
This part of it all scares me because it makes me wonder if AI itself isn't really the threat, it's that people are actually dumb enough to be fooled by it in its current, very primitive state...
@@jeezduts You _wonder_ that? That's always been The Threat. To Everything. AI is just making it more obvious. Every day-ever since the internet became widespread-new depths of the gap, between the gullible and the intelligent, are discovered. Making it harder to ignore. But the _really_ scary thing is that the gullible breed at a higher rate, and the malleable spawn are abandoned, left to ferment into fools. Because manipulative buttcocks have a taste for *_mold._*
You can sell something that's not protected by copyright, it's just that someone else can also take that thing and sell it too. Or give it away for free with zero repercussion. In other words, stealing AI art isn't theft. :3
RU-vid mid roll and pre roll ads have been taken over the ridiculous AI images and voices, even large companies like MeUndies will use that disgusting smug old man voice
That's a lie. Of course he understands. Because money. And because plenty of people want to "make" something, but don't want to have to put in ten years to TRY to get good enough to simply have sufficient skill at making something, let alone marketing it to enough people ("if you GET LUCKY, people might actually see it!") for them to see it.
@@Ilyak1986 I believe this line in context was referring to the phenomenon of AI creating incredibly similar stock photos that already exist. So like...if you needed a photo of a horse, why do we need to replace the zillions of real photos of horses on google images with an AI photo of a horse that is probably worse. Hyper specific phenomenon that isn't actually adding up to any saved dollars and cents, it's just weird and unnecessary.
@@matthewmcguire5564 ah, in that case, sure. Could be for people trying to get the AI to make a better stock horse photo, or another stock horse photo. That leaves me scratching my head myself.
I dont think enough people are giving Drew credit for basically doing investigative journalism. He has pivoted to making actual video essays rather than just commentary and I like it a lot. Drew is too smart to be relegated to just talking about Team10. Although we love those videos too lol
This content is why I enjoy drew more than other similar creators that I used to love back in the day. I’m sorry but I can only watch so many Reality TV reaction videos
32:01 reminds me of a tiktok comment interaction I saw once, someone said “this is gonna take 3 years” and the creator responded with “The time will pass anyways”
absolute fire video, I work in a web design agency and the way 99% of the staff talk about genAI is horrifying, they really cant wait to replace themselves with machines
There's just something utterly depressing about AI. Automating shitty repetitive tasks is fine, but what's with this craze to automate literally every meaningful and creative thing a human can do? Is the ultimate life goal to just sit on your coach and get wasted all day? Where is this heading?
I work in tech and joined just before the boom. Last job I was surrounded by NFTs bitcoin and metaverse grift. I miss those days tbh... this is far more depressing. There's literally nothing else being talked about or improved on. What happens when it crashes? The org visited a school to hype ai to them, and all the art kids at the back gravitated to me (I was doodling), and expressed a genuine fear and sadness about their futures before they even start. I couldn't say anything except that I felt their pain. 26 years of hard work made worth even less in an already ruthless underpaying market. It's hard to find hope... is there any?
I work as a designer for a rich media agency and I've seen it a lot too. Also, the way they believe our work gets immediately easier if we start to implement AI tools - the reality is that AI sometimes just makes it harder because of the horrible results it drops, lol
I am 44 years old and I grew up along with the internet literally. I still do not understand exactly when people went from, don't believe anything on the internet cause its the internet. To OMG it's more real then real life and I will die to defend it.
Right!!! And the “well google says this dadada” like even GOOGLE PRE-AI wasnt the best source of information if you dont know how to research your sources.
I mean I don’t think that’s necessarily the same group of people. Imo, people who are engaging with AI are mostly duped people ignorant that it’s AI (and therefore not a demographic who ever internalized “don’t believe the internet”) or greedy opportunists looking to dupe people. In which case their philosophy is “go ahead and believe everything you see on the internet so I can exploit your dumb ass.” The other group of people, who say it’s the greatest most beautiful future for all mankind or whatever, are a negligible minority of basement dwelling contrarians and hopefully will remain that way. But who knows.
That's actually a really interesting point because it's really hard to pin exactly when it happened. I feel like it had to be a generational shift, which is I guess a little comforting, because kids growing up during this stage aren't going to believe a thing anywhere from anyone. Hopefully.
Well the issue is philosophy isn't mandatory. And thats where you are basically taught to think critically when reading ect. The internet just requires the same skepticism as newspapers to navigate. And the moment we stopped teaching kids about editorial narrative and trying to read between the lines. Was the moment people stopped needing it
yeah no.. as a musician, it takes me at least a week to a few months to finish a song. what AI techbros create are just soulless bastardisations of actual art.
This is why stop using any spotify or any kind of app to listen music.Just download all the songs you have in ur playlist in ur memory card or phone storage.
There was drama about that forever ago Its chinese smartphone farms liking their own crap to get bigger revenue shares They just replaced crappy commissioned music with AI I guess This is nothing new idk how drew completely flubbed that topic
Crochet AI really pisses me off. It tricks people into thinking you can do things with crochet that aren’t really possible especially because it can’t even get the look of the stitches right.
It’s also really sad when older people like my mom or grandmother buy patterns based off of an AI picture of it and then it doesn’t work out. And it’s getting better and better and harder to point out the fakes for them
At first I was scared to lose my job since, I'm an artist; it was so much scarier to realize it wasn't just my job that was fucked but the internet as a whole
Actually the people who commission for AI stuff would've never commissioned you in the first place, I was worried at first too but then realized those who pay for art would never pay for generated images.
the entire media industry is toast what else would you expect when by posting their content on the internet and allowing big tech to forbid it's use by anyone only so they could deep learn data train on it to resell that to others "not stealing" "not copyright infrigement" as long as it's them that do it...when Shazam which was already worked behind the scenes a decade earlier but you had to call a phone line to identify tracks when shazam became a thing we all tought it was super cool how wrong we were it became a tool to distribute stars....yellow stars
in 1997 or around there, the goverment of Canada made a commercial about a house hippo. The Hippo looked real and the commercial could fool you into thinking house hippos were real. and then it said: Don't believe everything you see on television.

someone once defended ai art to me saying 'I don't have the money to invest to learn art ai is helpful to me you're just privelaged' like my brother in christ I STARTED DRAWING on my NOTEBOOK IN CLASS during NOTES, it literally doesn't get more accessible than that
@@seigeengineno, people who are too lazy, insecure in their skills, and apathetic to the creativity and history of humankind that is found in art, are the problem. it's easy to now that ai isn't a problem. but wait until there isn't a shred of humanity left in the world, for better or worse. no, im not fear mongering. it's already happening right in front of u. you're willing to be ok with ceo's and billionaires replacing human ingenuity and the essence of our creativity? for what? a measly ai drawing anyone could do. ok with individuals excusing their own inept behavior and excuses ? i truly wonder why the rich and lazy people are so quick to replace one of the few things that we do so well. people look down on ai "artists" bc they have no true respect for the craft. for the thousands of years it was built on. the human history. it's not just pretty things to look at, it's revolutionary and tells us our history. it can insight change and send a message. why are people so apathetic to that? ai "artists" will never understand the joy of honing your craft to make something beautiful and sharing that with others. so sad 😭 there's no beauty in something that takes 5 mins to work on. like fast food. it's cheap and accesible, but doesn't mean anything compared to home cooked meals with ur family. doesn't beat waking up early to make something that's meaningful and delicious. that you spent hours working on. u can take the easy way, but will there be true satisfaction in it 🤔 yeah IDC if you read all of this thank u 😭
@@seigeengine Ah, yes. Because the person who actually has a developed skill is the insecure one and not the techbros cosplaying as something other than a drain on society.
@Wote89 how are ai artists insecure? They type words and get pictures out of it. Normal artists are the ones losing their minds over it. Literally the entire discussion surrounding ai art started because people are insecure about being replaced
@@therealstemarmanwould that not scare you? The possibility of being replaced by some robot created to do your job better than you? Actual artists have a right to be mad.
It’s weird that we’ve heard of people going to jail for forging paintings and selling them (something that is still a lot of work despite the intrinsic thievery of it), yet it’s legal to completely steal the entire history of hundreds of thousands of artists and produce derivative work with zero effort at all.
Yeah forgery is only illegal if you try to sell it as authentic. It is also actually more difficult than the original was in most cases. The AI thing is a big problem.
it's cuz the monetary value of art is in the provenance, not the beauty. to me it's kinda similar to how human deaths don't often spark wars, but destruction of or theft of property often does.
Obviously this video is amazing. I think this is one of the best videos Drew’s ever made and it’s full of fantastic profound arguments against AI, however the ai extended road work ahead clip is one of the funnest things I’ve ever seen
AI is KILLING me when I’m looking for art references. I wanted to see a body type that might be considered “ugly” so I could draw a monster lady. I searched troll woman, orc woman, ogre woman, dwarf woman and ALL of the results are pretty, slim, anime styled AI girls. Like WTF??? The “prettying” of art is driving me up the wall
YES ONG the other day i tried to draw my oc in fantasy armor and all i found for reference are those 'perfect' anime girls with massive badonkadonks and pixar-like artstyle of 3d animation
Now AI can do almost everything. Not only generating images and "art" with almost 99% accuracy, it can generating almost photorealistic videos and even generating various music audios! And all it takes is only 3 years. This is very scary and concerning for the real artists out there
One thing that really pissed me off about AI, Pokemon held this art competition with 3 image submission limit, and the results ended with 6 ai images taking up winning spots all by the same guy just with slightly different enough names. 6 real, different artists could've had one spot each, but ALL SIX of those winning AI photos were all taken buy one guy and his little robot thief with grimmy little hands Edit: Apparently the images were disqualified! Thank god! And thank you to the people who let me know! But I'm still pissed he was able to win before pokemon disqualified the images Second edit: Please, politely, shut up. I don't care how convinced you ai bros are, ai "art" is stealing, it's easy as balls, and shouldn't belong in a fucking art contest. You have your fucking ai image contests, you don't need to get your grimey fucking hands on the actual talent it takes to make art.
there was also an ai art competition and the winning image was an actual photograph taken by an actual man with an actual camera. he said he hopes the audience wont be upset about being deceived, considering thats exactly what ai does. edit: *A winning image, i looked at the article it was 3rd place and got the peoples choice award. the photographer, Miles Astray was then disqualified
It’s amazing that Drew can spend 30 minutes talking about something that terrifies me - not even providing solutions or answers, or anything - and I walk out feeling better about things.
Cuz there is no solutions, it will only get worse, but for now AI is hilariously bad and so you feel bettet by seeing how this thing youre scared of is actually comedically incompetent
ai has become so invasive that when i was doing a fuckin school project that needed me to use stock photos of people i had to spend like an extra *15 minutes* trying to find something that wasn't AI. like it didn't make it easier, it didn't help me out, it just made everything harder because every image available on google looked like absolute shit.
i visited a game shop and almost as soon as i walked in i noticed it was FILLED TO THE BRIM with ai images of pokémon characters on the walls, and they were selling tumblers with ai images on them aswell. it made me feel so uneasy. and then a while later i saw an ai generated logo on the side of a car
As a musician, one of the best question I've been asked about my original work is "what is your intent?" Essentially, what kind of narrative, lyrically or sonically, am i trying to share with the listener? There simply is no intent or message behind AI produced media. All there is is the attempt to mash pre-existing content together as shamelessly as possible.
no intent, no expression, no personality behind the slop. sure, maybe the prompt guy has a really cool idea but even then the produced content feels stolen ? feels like it's lying ? idk
If one were to experiment with prompts to receive a certain result, then it follows that there must be intent behind the created music, so that statement is untrue. To make it correct: The level of intent is vastly different - which again is fine for a majority of use cases.
@@Withing_But when I write lyrics, or when I choose a chord progression, I can discuss in hyper specific detail what that lyric means, or why that chord progression happened there. There is no "there" there with AI music, though, analyzing it is the act of a crazy person since the person who wrote the prompt had no control where that prompt was taken, a computer is the one who took it there for no rhyme or reason, and where it was taken was STOLEN 100% of the time. I don't understand why you're going to bat for this BS. Educate yourself.
Old malls are freaking uncanny by the way. If you want a real authentic hipster experience, go to one of those malla that no one ever visits but somehow manages to stay open. It's a truly surreal experience
ive also noticed a growing issue where social media companies will attempt to label ai generated images as 'made with ai', only for real images made by real people with real people in them to end up being labeled as 'made with ai' as well
Ultimately that's because social media companies are using AI to flag those images, and it struggles finding the difference is between something real and something AI generated. Which is weirdly poetic.
I’ve found any images edited on photoshop and then uploaded to Instagram now just auto get flagged as ‘made with AI’ regardless if it that’s true or not. The reason being it seems Photoshop now just adds a ‘made with AI’ metadata tag to your image, even if you didn’t touch Gen AI tools. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Considering this video includes two examplex of people straight up using Drew's image without his knowledge and against his consent, I don't think it was angry enough. How tf did we get to a place where this is acceptable.
Why would he be angry at people for using his image? If he did not want people on the internet to use his image then why would he upload it to the internet?
@ville__ Wow that's a very intelligent and responsible rebuttle that makes your side of this discussion seem very dredible and not at all like butthurt children disproportionately defending their favourite youtuber
The worst thing I’ve ever seen is when AI “completed” that one unfinished painting meant to symbolise how the artist died early because of aids. A truly devastating, beautiful painting with a very clear message AND THEY “FINISHED” IT. And it was a goddamn ugly finished version too because it didn’t take the artists intention with the piece, how it “could have looked when it was finished” (which it WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE) and just repeated the pattern in a weird way that didn’t make sense. It still makes me mad.
The worst thing you´ve ever seen, **so far** :D Judy's assassination was something I never thought I'd witness, let alone be powerless to stop. Our history together made it all the more unbearable. We met on the job, an unlikely duo of a bunny and a fox working together to uncover the truth in a city rife with prejudice. We grew close, and for a time, it felt like we could change the world. But then, after Judy's abortion, everything shifted. Our relationship, once built on trust and shared dreams, crumbled in the wake of that argument. We went our separate ways, and it was years later that she was elected mayor, a beacon of hope for so many. It was supposed to be just another speech, one of her countless efforts to bring Zootopia together. But when that shot rang out, everything changed. I saw her fall, her body collapsing as chaos erupted around us. The memory of her lifeless eyes haunts me, a stark reminder of the world we now live in. The group responsible, the so-called "Purity of Zootopia," claimed they were protecting our society from predators like me. They played on the fears and prejudices that had been simmering beneath the surface for years. With Judy gone, they seized power, manipulating the sorrow and anger of the masses to justify their cruelty. They began rounding up predators almost immediately. "Savages," they called us, as if we were less than the citizens we'd always been. The slurs cut deep, but the violence cut deeper. Families torn apart, friends disappearing overnight. They didn't care about innocence or guilt; being a predator was enough. My life turned into a constant struggle for survival. Once, I was a cop who believed in change, in a better future for all species. Now, I'm just another fox trying to stay out of sight, to avoid the wrath of those who see me as an enemy. I've seen too much blood, too much pain inflicted on those who did nothing to deserve it. The Purity of Zootopia operates with brutal efficiency. They wear their ideology like armor, convinced they're righteous. Their propaganda is everywhere, painting predators as the ultimate threat to our city. "Keepers of Peace," they call themselves, though peace is the last thing they've brought us. They thrive on fear and division, using every tool to maintain their grip on power. I've watched friends dragged from their homes, seen them beaten in the streets. And I know, deep down, that it won't stop until they've either broken us or we've been erased. Every day is a fight to remember who we were before all this, to hold onto the belief that there can be more than this hatred and violence. Judy's death wasn't just the loss of a leader; it was the spark that ignited a powder keg. And now, Zootopia burns with the fires of bigotry and fear. The city she loved, the city she dreamed of uniting, is tearing itself apart. And all I can do is keep moving, trying to survive in a world that's lost its way.
They forced us to wear distinctive signs, crude badges marked with a snarling predator, a symbol of our supposed savagery. It was a scarlet letter, meant to mark us as dangerous, untrustworthy. The laws against predators became more draconian by the day: curfews, restricted areas, bans on certain jobs. The message was clear-we were no longer citizens; we were the enemy. I often found myself staring at the television, a bitter ritual that only deepened my despair. The screen was a constant stream of propaganda from the Purity of Zootopia. “Predators must be controlled for the safety of all,” the smooth-voiced announcer would declare. “Their instincts make them unpredictable, a threat to our peaceful society.” Every word dripped with venom, painting us as monsters that needed to be contained, if not eradicated. It disgusted me, but I couldn’t look away. It was like watching the slow death of the city I once loved, the city Judy had fought so hard to protect. The faces of the news anchors were always calm, composed, as they spewed their poison. “Reports of predator attacks have decreased by 40% since the new measures were implemented,” they’d say with a smile. “Order and safety have been restored, thanks to the Purity’s vigilant efforts.” But I knew the truth. The decrease in “attacks” wasn’t because of safety-it was because predators had been beaten into submission or forced into hiding. The so-called peace was a sham, a façade built on the backs of those too terrified to fight back. My own life had become a shadow of what it once was. I moved from place to place, never staying too long, always looking over my shoulder. I couldn’t trust anyone, not even old friends. Many had been taken away, their faces now just painful memories. The few who remained were as scared as I was, their spirits broken by the relentless oppression. Every day was a battle to keep a low profile, to avoid the enforcers who prowled the streets. They were always looking for an excuse to make an example out of someone. The slightest provocation, the smallest misstep, and you could find yourself on the wrong side of a baton or worse. The city had become a maze of danger and despair. The once vibrant districts were now patrolled by armed guards, checkpoints set up to control the movement of predators. The skyline, which once symbolized hope and progress, now felt like the bars of a cage. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could endure it. The weight of it all was crushing. But what choice did I have? To give up was to accept defeat, to let the Purity of Zootopia win. And so I kept moving, kept surviving, driven by the faint hope that maybe, one day, things could change. Yet every night, as I lay in whatever hideout I’d found for the evening, the thought gnawed at me: How much more could I take before I became the very thing they accused us of? A savage, driven mad by the cruelty of a city that had lost its soul.
A few months later, the inevitable knock came. It was early morning, the sun barely casting its light over the horizon. The sound was sharp, insistent, a prelude to the nightmare that was about to unfold. I opened the door to find uniformed officers standing there, their expressions cold and unyielding. "Nick Wilde, you and your family are to come with us," one of them stated, his voice devoid of any emotion. There was no point in resisting; I knew this day would come eventually. My family, the few loved ones who had managed to survive this long, gathered in silence. The fear in their eyes was a reflection of my own. The journey to the camps was harrowing. We were herded into transport trucks, packed tightly with other predators. The air was thick with despair, the sounds of quiet sobs and murmured prayers filling the cramped space. The truck jolted and rumbled over the uneven roads, every bump driving home the reality of our situation. I tried to keep my family close, offering what little comfort I could. My mother, frail and terrified, clung to me. My sister, always the strong one, held her own fear at bay for the sake of her young son. The child, barely old enough to understand, looked up at us with wide, questioning eyes. As the hours dragged on, the heat inside the truck became unbearable. Some of the older or weaker passengers began to falter. An elderly lioness collapsed, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. We tried to help her, but there was little we could do. She died before we reached our destination, her body left among us as a grim reminder of our own fragility. When we finally arrived, the sight that greeted us was worse than I had imagined. The camp was a sprawling expanse of barbed wire and watchtowers, a grim fortress designed to contain and break us. The guards shouted orders, forcing us into lines for processing. It was a dehumanizing procedure, stripping us of any remaining dignity. We were assigned barracks, crude wooden structures that offered little protection from the elements. The days blurred together in a haze of forced labor, inadequate food, and constant surveillance. The guards were merciless, punishing the slightest infraction with brutal efficiency. One evening, my sister’s son fell ill. There were no doctors, no medicine-just the cold, hard reality of the camp. He weakened quickly, his small body unable to fight off the sickness. We did what we could, but it wasn’t enough. He died in my sister’s arms, her anguished cries echoing through the night. His death shattered something inside us. My sister, once so strong, became a ghost of herself. She moved through the days in a daze, her spirit broken by the loss. My mother, already frail, deteriorated rapidly. The lack of food, the constant stress-it was too much for her. She passed away quietly in her sleep, her face finally at peace. I buried them both, the graves hastily dug in the hard, unforgiving ground. The camp was filled with such graves, silent testimonies to the lives extinguished by hatred and fear. I couldn’t afford to mourn; survival demanded all my strength. Every day was a struggle, every moment a battle against despair. But I held on, driven by a flicker of hope that refused to die. I told myself that I had to survive, for my family, for the memory of those we had lost. Yet as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, the weight of it all became almost too much to bear. The camp was a place where hope went to die, where the future seemed a distant, unattainable dream. And still, I clung to the belief that someday, somehow, this nightmare would end.
The fact that Netflix used AI images is so stupid. ignoring the fact that it's straight up lying, it changes a part of the story. Jennifer's parents were strict to the point that they controlled most of her life, so putting in fake images of her partying makes it seem like they couldn't be THAT strict which makes her motive for killing her parents seem less likely
Music producer from Ireland here; Spotify is infested with these weird ai playlists atm, that add songs completely at random (they usually target songs that have low streams), which causes a sudden boost in activity. This happened to one of my older songs, I reported it to Spotify immediately, asked to be removed from that playlist, not only they did not delete the weird AI playlist that everyone keeps reporting to them (it is a widespread issue) - instead, they reported ME for suspicious activity, and then deleted my song entirely from Spotify! It is happening to hundreds of artists atm, it is completely random which makes it all the more terrifying. I have been talking to my distributor about it so hopefully they sort it, but it has really affected me that a song I poured my heart and soul into has just been wiped from Spotify, due to a completely random event that I had no control over.

32:13 “how are you ever gonna do something for 10 years if you won’t even do it for one day?” Is so motivational I feel like I need to put it on my wall or something
@@larfee5191 Yes, but you are also generalizing which is what I am guilty of and what you are making fun of me for but you are also doing the exact same thing you are making fun of me for so you ar-
@@larfee5191 also mf got that "Don't hit me up, only real ones know whats going on" ass profile picture lol. With the uhm, covering your camera with your thumb on snapchat lol.
"You guys remember when they told us AI was going to do all the menial labor and let us have the arts to do with all our free time? Now the machines are making all the art and the essential workers are still working themselves to death in three jobs..." I think about that sentiment a lot when this stuff comes up.
Someone posted this quote already but "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." -Joanna Maciejewska
@@-_XDimagine being that stupid. Literally Google her name followed by AI. It's the first result but nah you just wanna be an asshole even though you're blatantly wrong 😂
Those AI videos are genuinely scarier than a lot of "horror" material to me personally - not because they're good, they give off that uncanny valley, soulless, hellish vibe that creates a pit in my stomach
You should have seen them about half a year ago. They were lovecraftian abominations then. Now they're just really goofy videos. In the next year or so they're going to get really good and people need to be ready for it.
@xxFortunadoxx man with 40 fingers eats ramen noodles and then morphs into an spaghetti abomination and also the bowl phased through the table and now the house is the sky
its the silent hill nurse effect....youre looking at an empty husk wondering when and how it will move and what it will do because you have no clue how its been set
I buy sewing patterns on Etsy and there's been an increase in sellers using AI to generate images of the finished product rather than sewing the thing themselves. How can I trust the pattern if they didn't even bother to make it?
I've been seeing a lot of crochet patterns that are AI generated. I'm a beginner but even I'm getting irritated by seeing this garbage clogging up search results for projects I can do.
spotify made the free version of their app completely unusable, (banning lyrics, constant ads, etc.) and now they are forcing a.i. unto us and defunding deserving, talented artists...why can't spotify be deleted????
what makes me very sad about AI techbros focusing solely on the end product instead of the process, is not that they dont get it imo, its that they dont care, they care about profit/clout, not art or artistic gratification
I mean. Some of these people literally revel in destroying culture. They get wood over the fact they are potentially destroying the ability of people that put decades into mastering a craft, to earn money from it. Unfortunately, "commercial" art is going to be a dead profession. Designing logo's, branding, UI's, print ads, flyers. That shit is all going to be consumed by AI. I hope there are industries that hold out. Like comic books/animation. Part of the enjoyment of comic books for me is having artists I like, writers I like and getting their books. If it all becomes AI generated, I'm done. Whats the point?
Honestly I feel like Drew’s intelligence and creativity sometimes flies under people’s radars but his counter to the AI pandemic is honestly pretty indicative of those strengths. Please do get angry more, Drew. You drop hella bars when you do.
@@Nathan47223 I don't care how "good" Gen AI gets, I don't want it. It's sludge. Even if the AI pics become perfect, I don't want them clogging up search results.
As a disabled artist, the accessibility argument just falls completely flat for me. Cause they aren’t actually making the act of creating more accessible. What’s fun about art is sitting by the canvas and applying the paint, not typing code words into a computer. It very much feels like propping me up next to somebody with a full canvas and tons of different paints and pencils… and then giving me a piece of A4 paper and a crayon saying “Look! Now you can art too!😊” Completely insulting my level of actual skill and intelligence I already possess when it comes to creating art.
I feel embarrassed I ever fell for that accessibility argument, sometimes I come across old posts of me saying it could expand the scale artists can work at, and I want to slap some sense into that moron.
A real accessibility tool for art (using myself for example) is a wrist support to relieve stress. It is not a machine completely removing the skill, talent, and artistic agency I have developed over the years because I "need help". I also dont believe the "accessibility" argument holds up under any amount of reasoning. Unless tech moguls are willing to admit that they don't value human experience, or human suffering (ie, needing accessibility tools because of chronic pain).
@@itmeeeeebip Yes, exactly! They only seem to care about us when it is convenient for them. I’ve only ever heard them use us as an argument for their case. Never heard them actively speak up about and fight for disabled people’s rights otherwise.
disabled artists have been creating for millennia, from the colourblind to the limbless. The accessibility argument is simply a coincidence and a tool for them, it doesn’t actually hold any water if you think about it critically for more than a couple seconds… but that’s too exhausting for ai bros
@@itmeeeeebip It kind of reminds me of an AsumSaus video about the difference between tournament legal and illegal controller mods. Legal mods simply enable you to do what you're doing a little easier while illegal mods do things for you.
