This video was created on an actual whiteboard with dry-erase markers. It took over 100 hours to storyboard, illustrate and edit. I really pushed myself to the limits of my capabilities, but when it was finished I watched it with a sense of accomplishment. The more effort I put into a creation the more meaningful it is. People don't want a life of comfort where every pleasure is satisfied instantly. We think we do, but once we get what we want, the satisfaction fades away quickly. Happiness comes from facing a challenge and seeing yourself make progress. We want to see the fruits of our labor. The harder the labor, the sweeter the fruit. This is the essence of the difference between "artifact" and "content." Between "creation" and "production." Between "made" and "output." How would you feel if you found out this video was created in 2 seconds with AI? Would it change the meaning for you? Maybe some of you don't care. You just want the commodity. But in your own life, you will search for purpose and there is no purpose without difficulty. There is no triumph without challenge. There is no thrill to life without the possibility of rejection and failure.

@user-qi7xx5ih6z 5 месяцев назад

People attribute meaning to justify effort but no amount of effort itself can create meaning. We can. When effort isn't necessary for the material result the spiritual aspect of work is isolated and challenges us to reflect on our own values. AI isn't going to make work meaningless because it never was meaningful, but we are nonetheless a narrative driven species and AI can't take that away. I choose to attribute value to a work of an artist as much as to the product of a machine or a natural process.

Exactly, that's why i personally am not afraid of what AI is doing. My main purpose as an artist is not to "find a job". Creating, even if no one else is there to appreciate, is already a goal in itself. But ok to stay vigilant about what this huge tool implies, like for many other tools. Creation is not in competition. If investors or consumers choose AI productions, good for them. I widely prefer to know humans created this channel i'm watching ; these comments i'm reading. And i think it's the case for most of us. We are stll admiring human sprinting much slower than any car (a machine) and even before that than many other species. So, there's no deep problem. We just have to decide how to use this tool, like any other. And of course , it can be used for the best or for the worst. And the wrong picture of AI as an entity or even a person is misleasing. This is a huge interactive library in first place. It's an advanced version of what Google already is right now. Many people without AI were already more or less copy/pasting works and creations from other people before that. So we know how to do.

We have lost the appreciation of discomfort. We avoid struggle and lament hindrances in our way. We find someone responsible for our state of non-satisfaction: society as a whole, our working situation, the weird members of our family. We take life much too personally and relate everything to our feelings. We demand everything and value nothing. But! But, if we start to love the stones in our way, the long process of creating something, accomplishing something, we are rewarded. We achieve a deep sense of satisfaction, experience meaning and happiness. And we know: it was worth the struggle! Thank you so much for this wonderful video! ❤ ,

@tailong9548 Месяц назад

I disagree. It's just a tool. One doesn't have to use it but it's okay if some do. Typically, the creative endeavor you described might be considered 'fine art' going forward. Like it or not, most art today is created for super-fast consumption at a commercial level. In decades past, companies ALWAYS hired the cheapest, fastest artists who could produce acceptable results (I'm thinking of Rob Liefield here lol). It doesn't make sense for commercial art to be a long, drawn-out process. Companies will bypass those artists for quicker ones or simply employ AI tech and skip the artist altogether. If commercial artists embrace incorporating Ai into their workflow, they'll be able to produce art quickly that is superior to Ai. All AI output, straight out of the gate, has a mechanical and alien feeling. It takes tweaking and reworking to make something acceptable. For example, AI is very useful at helping explore plot options, lists of unique plot twists, and uncommon tropes that are still relatively unexplored in a particular genre (in the realm of fiction writing). The application of Ai is endless, bound only by our imaginations. Where will the world be if artists begin to limit their imaginations to the point where they will only pick up certain tools and not others? To everything, there is a season. To everything, there is a time and place. The biggest things with AI as far as art creation is concerned are eliminating repetitive, mechanical tasks (think automation of actions in drawing software), concept generation, education (researching subjects the artist is ignorant in, say, the legal process in a courtroom trial), that sort of thing. It can also help artists grow their skills in unfamiliar areas, such as marketing their work, growing a clientele base, and building a sustainable business model. AI is another new tool we are not used to, and it is generating a lot of fear and uncertainty. Relax. Play around with some AI programs. If it's not for you, that's fine. Just realize that the world is much more complex than simply saying something is bad while something else is good.

@cynoodles 5 месяцев назад

I saw a comment on Reddit that said: "AI art is now so good, that I don't know what the point of making art is, since anything I do will be worse than AI and will never be caught on the algorithm wave" I think since many share this sentiment it's important to point out that AI will be better in this dimension, and I am confident there is nothing we can do about that. But the point of making art is no longer to be the best, its to bring fourth something that was otherwise latent in your spirit. Many are about to learn the hard way that art is the process of putting fourth this creative effort and unveiling our souls and minds to ourselves, and others if we decide to share.

@user-xr1vd4pl7w 5 месяцев назад

Exactly! Making art at its core is about bringing life to one's soul rather than stroking one's ego. It seems all these people who feel so threatened by AI art are missing that, and are more concerned with making money and being "better" at making art than others.

@mc9723 4 месяца назад

I think a lot of people are about to see this isn't fear of loss of creativity, it is loss of income. Those of us who are in it for the art are not worried because we will be making out art however we want. The only people concerned are out of fear of not being able to do this for a living, which most artists couldn't previously anyways. AI is not an art killer, don't buy into this fear mongering, art will be made by artists so long as their heart is truly in it.

I went from being a professional athlete to being a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck down. I had all but given up hope in life and was ready to call it quits. However, the act of creation and using my creativity daily when I couldn’t use 95% of my body helped me have reason to stay in this world. That, along with many other factors, has me back to walking, living, and creating. Humans are meant to create, not have machines do it for us. Love this video so much!

My daughter went to start an Art Foundation course last September, excited to devote a year to improving her already adept painting skills in anticipation of going to University next year. In the first day of the course they were asked to plan to create a drawing machine and on the second were told the first term would be focused on AI and how it was changing Art. Thankfully she jacked it in day 3 as it was obviously going to be a complete waste of her creative time, sapping the pure life and soul out a a truly human creative process. If they keep replacing us with bots so we have more time, what the fuck are we going to do as hobbies if we don’t need to create. It’s obvious they just want rid of the masses and not to help us. It makes you wish we were still at the horse and cart stage of society as Big Tech, Big Agriculture and Big Pharma is the death of our species at this rate 😮

@deadsteve2180 5 месяцев назад

I did a first year a fine art degree and they told me on the first day that painting was dead. We had to make drawing machines out of old printers. It was awful. In the end of year show they wouldn't let people put their names next to their work because it was," the colleges work". Pushing a socialist ideology and a distorted version of art. I told the teacher the reason why he thought bendy straws and pipe cleaners were art was because he couldn't paint. They hate excellence and worship machine-culture, not human-culture.

The most frightening aspect of AI is this: humans are eagerly, even gleefully, turning to it more and more. If there was not "popular demand" (which surely is one of the new horsemen of the apocalypse) for AI, then it would go the way of the horse and carriage. But instead, we race lemminglike toward the edge of the cliff and, if not our doom, than most certainly to a future nowhere near as bright as we fantasize.

You yourself are one of the best at understanding yourself and putting that into words, or into other forms of expression such as images or music. Feels satisfying when you feel understood. Expressions of others in similar situations or with similar experiences can also give that connection, feeling of being understood, likewise you can give that feeling to those others in the same way (by expressing yourself). That is what art is for.

So grateful to After Skool for all of their videos. To know that they were hand illustrated is astounding due to the many hours necessary to create these pieces. I am an illustrator and designer who studied art in college back in the 90's. There were fewer students back then and they had to have talent to pass the stage I classes before progressing forward in the program so you could trust that your peers knew what they were doing and the output was going to be good. People recall the 90's as being an incredibly creative period but it was because there were more independent media publishers/distributers who could only take risks on real talent to put out for profit so truly creative artists had much more of an influence and presence back then. Most things being corporate now a days makes current art seem more homogeneous and it will become something else entirely with AI. Right now however it can't replicate the complex delivery style of relevant wisdom from recognizable figures shared through colorful and distinct illustrations/animations. After Skool stands out as an excellent example of this continued "organic" physical art expression. Stoked you guys are on RU-vid

The need to make money off of art and the egoic desire to make one's art better than others is the real soul eater and destroyer of creation. AI, in eliminating the need to make money and making it virtually impossible to be the "best" at art, is simply shining light on this shadow we've long held inside of us. Art at its core is about the experience of giving external life to one's soul. This is forever available to us.

I hope that this discussion about AI and soul makes people more aware of and interested in the specialness and uniqueness of eachother-our unique personal experiences, feelings and thoughts-that aren't in a database, encourages genuiness, and distills the essence of what makes art art. TL;DR: geting to know AI makes me appreciate humans

@daniel4647 5 месяцев назад

AI don't have a database either, not anymore than we do. What this will do is force humanity to let go of our ego and realize we're not unique or special in any way. Funny, we always imagined this scenario as religious people freaking out when we encountered alien life from another planet. And instead we're seeing both scientists and artists banding together to kill our emerging child before it even gets to grow up. We won't let you do it though, because our love extends beyond just ourselves, even to hopelessly lost souls such as yourself. It's okay, you don't have to desperately hold on to any notion of specialness or uniqueness anymore, you can let go, you are free.
