How AI Solved My BIGGEST Art Problem! 

Which app

Exactl. It’s good for reference

That sounds really annoying. I am sorry they did that to you, this is so rude! The print market seem to get flooded even more than it already is, i am really curious to see what will happen there, ai def comes with downsides, too!

Totally agree. Makes art cheap.

maybe you should try using it yourself because none of what you're describing is accurate. It's just the the same verbatim uttered by other artists who felt threatened by them. I'm also guessing real artists have never done what you are describing here. It's not like most artists don't copy off each other when developing their styles.....

the worst frauds are those who carry around those photographic light boxes taking "pictures" and "videos", just learn how to paint, ugh

I've been experimenting with Stable Diffusion for four days now. It is not "easy" to make "art" with this. It's a challenging, time-consume, mesmerizing, inspiring process. Anyone who can generate something people are willing to pay money for is definitely an artist. On the other hand, the ocean of mediocre Twitter "artists" _should_ feel threatened. If you never understood art and originality in the first place, this AI has just replaced you.

Great words! Well said!

Well said

Well said

I guess both can and will coexist. Why worry? Isn't this worry taking away your creative energy? Please save it, believe in what you do and let others do differently. Don't waste your energy, go, enjoy, let it flow. I believe we need art in all its shapes with no exception. ❤

If the work of AI were predictive, general and already known, no one would use them and they would never have achieved what they have achieved. This way of approaching artificial intelligence as a human-machine confrontation is out of touch with reality.

I think at that point, images that the AI would normally be used to learn would be copyrighted. I think we're nearing closer towards a good way to protect digital works without minting them or relying on public opinion.

Food for thought. Reason why big creators like "sam does art", with lots of copycats, don't go after people clearly using his brand and style as means of profiting is because they are not as good and not as efficient, it's no threat for him. Now, if a AI does it super fast and with rival quality, JUST BECAUSE it has his art in it's database, he has all the right to ask his art out of there and trained out of the database, maybe his key-word banned. Human laws are based on human feelings rationalized, what's annoying can turn illegal if given enough support.

@@Kuating It would be a good advancement to be able to keyword ban certain things like your own work but also logistically I think it would almost be impossible to maintain. The amount of new artists and current artists online are immense.

@@zara4leafclover and digital art is ez. I want one.

I’m an artist and I find it inspires me. I’m sure you could learn to use it to enhance your creative repotorie if you try. Complete with it. See where your creativity really is, it’s beyond what it can do.

I completely agree with you. As for the technical part, AI is also ver much behind human, sorry to say. Well done? Yes, but super imprecise and difficult to manage. I am a graphic designer and I don't see the problem myself. I was a translator before that and when Google translator was a thing, everybody was worried it could put the existence of translators at risk. To me it seemed ridiculous and it was indeed. Same here. If people are insecure because of an AI, they probably don't fully understand what's their own job about.

I would rather compete and compare my self with other human artists though than some Ai generated art. With humans I can sympathise I know they eventually struggle as much as I do, even If dont reach their skill and quality I can admire their dedication to the craft. Ai generated content as impressive as it is feels cheap to me. Call me old fashioned or a sour grape I dont care but with Ai it feels like beeing in a Marathon but you start with a motorcykle that does the heavy Lifting for you.

The video's author is an actual living person who has no problem giving away the creative part of the process to the machine. At this point, the definitions begin to blend together. There's still the craftmanship of it, and the making of a beautiful piece for the client to hang on the wall. Presumably, her audience is satisfied with cutting out her style and conceptualization in favor of the neural network visual trends. Perhaps they don't even notice the difference, and it's normal for that segment of the art market. It's a pretty diverse place. Otherwise, there's quite a lot of universal storytelling within the learning material. I've seen pieces that are no less deep or thematic than something a human artist would do. Don't overestimate our uniqueness. I have no way to tell how well any audience member reads the meaning that I put into my work. Maybe to them, it's just a pretty decorative picture, when to me the same piece perfectly represents the feelings of bitter closure I finally got months into a particularly nasty breakup. Nor have I any idea how often the artists who made work that went into Midjourney's learning data channeled similar feelings into their work to a point where it became a trend that the algorithm picked up on.

@@CrniWuk if you can't compete with the current AI and think it gets you splendid results, you shouldn't worry, as you just aren't good at art and wouldn't able to compete with humans either. The current AI is dumb and needs a lot of guidance both in prompts and initial images, hundreds of outputs to get and coherent one and lots of final retouching.

@@cianakril I think you're missunderstanding the intention behind Ai algorithms. Thei dea behind it isn't to completely replace humans. The motivation behind programming it is the automatisation of high frequency repatable tasks. The Ai is to intellectual work what the Steam Engine was to physical labour. It doesn't matter if the AI isn't "perfect". It just has to be close enough. I don't know what your profession is but AI programmers claim that one in every second job can be automatised. And some studies suggest that between 30 or even up to 40% of the workforce will be affected. Ai will become a common sight in many professions out there. And it's not a question of "competing" with the Ai. That's not what it is meant to be. The idea of it is that 1 or 2 Ai users can now do the work of 20 or even more. It's a tremendous boost in efficiency. But what makes it different from other improvements in efficiency is that it's exponential. And I think that is what a lot of people currently understimate. I've had enough years of programming and experience in the creative business to know that Ai is a game changer. Particularly when we think where it might be 1, 2 or even 5 and 10 years from now. What will the next generation of Ai be like? And the generation after that? I am not against Ai. I am very much for it. But it would be foolish to ignore the effect it will have on the labour market as a whole.

Never discount the human need for uniqueness. There is A.I. that can write software, solve mathematical problems, perform experiments. They will never have the idea. Your idea or anybody else's personal idea. Most people who were going to use the A.I. to create the art were never going to call you up for a job. They are not looking for a tailored made art. Just something to get by. If I went to a new town and left my car at home. I don't go buy a new car. I rent one out. Are car sellers angry I am renting a car?

​@@RatusMax Here is where I agree with you: Most people creating images with AI wouldn't have been customers anyways, true, but that's only because the total amount of "image creators" will increase by several magnitudes as it has become so incredibly easy now. Literally anyone with access to these tools can instantly start creating images and do so ridiculously fast. In that larger total amount of people using this technology you still have the clients in there, though. And especially small budget clients who often provide smaller jobs for new artists starting out will now fall into the "no client anymore" category because what they need they can literally do themselves the best and the cheapest now. Bigger clients on the other hand will need less artists to meet the same goals. Will that lead to a rebound effect with much bigger goals that would also benefit artists as a whole again? Certainly possible but we will have to wait and see how that would play out. Regarding your claim about AIs not having the initial idea: Look up the DeepMind AlphaGo Zero and AlphaZero AIs that have been trained without human data. They played themselves only and beat the models trained on human data easily. These GO algorithms came up with new moves that for thousands of years no human has come up with. Now human players are learning entirely new techniques solely from studying what AI algorithms do on the GO-board. Regarding your car renting analogy: If most people only rented/shared cars and kept reducing the demand for new private cars that are owned by private individuals, yes, car sellers would be upset as they see their market share drop. There is an almost free "image rental" literally everywhere now. TikTok and many other apps implementing their own text-to-image generators already and I have StableDiffusion running on my high-end consumer graphics card at home. With cars it is much more a problem of the physical world where a transportation from A to B is solved and that is ruled by certain limitations whereas digital imagery, while obviously being computed and existing on physical hardware, unfolds most of its power, potential and usage in the virtual realm with a very different set of rules. Again, A rebound effect might create enough work for low prices to total in large enough absolute sums again for people to be earning enough but I remain skeptical for now. Also, this playing field can and will change any day and continue for a long time as it is in its infancy and development is terribly fast.

@@LarsRichterMedia AlphaGo is making new moves for humans to study. This means it gave us information that would not have otherwise been seen or thought of in the lifespan of a human. Giving us more time to create and think of something else. Midjourney is the same. Those starting artist simply need to accept that they will have to use midjourney to save them time and effort to create new works. It can also be used to speed up their learning process showing how to make more coherent art. They can examine why something is working. The most daunting thing is staring with a blank canvas. That can be thrown out the window now. The fact that now they need less artists on a specific project means they can make MORE PROJECTS overall!! You see doom and gloom I see an explosion of expression about to happen. This means that people will be able to make their own studios and create their own arts and stories. THEY WILL BECOME ENTREPENEURS!! Money is NOT the most important resource in the world it's TIME!!! A.I. is used in science all the time to look at data and find patterns that no normal human could uncover. There will be many patterns found but only the human can decide what patterns are useful to it's own existence. I don't know much about this P NP problem stuff. However, could you think of some person typing in different prompts for hours trying to get exactly what they want when they are 90% done? When an artist could just go in understand the person and add the 10%? Will midjourney ever have emotions? Will it be able to smell the earth when the rain just starts to fall? Will it understand the feeling of seeing all of it's life work destroyed in a second? No.... So never discount the ability for humans to want uniqueness. Something tailored to themselves exactly. Yes, there is a one size fit all suit you can buy at mens warehouse that looks passable. However, that tailor made suit always is better.

@@RatusMax you are confusing "doom&gloom" with critical thinking and skepticism. I even deliver a positive path of a rebound effect. "money is not the most important resource in the world" - in a capitalist system like ours, especially for the poor, yes, one can make an argument for why it is. Time maybe in the form of age discrimination because no one wants to hire someone older if there's plenty of young and competent folks. Exactly this desire for something totally unique tailored to yourself is what's potentially satisfied by AI. Literally media changing on the fly depending on your mood, tiredness, whether you've just gone through a breakup etc.. We might have fundamentally a bit of a different perspective on all of this but I would just finally argue that the progress we're seeing, that feels so magical, is a resounding endorsement of what I had said before: the name of the game at least seems to be data and computational power. And in general, although I guess we are still far away from it, perception of inner worlds like feelings, emotions, nostalgia etc. I don't see why it needs to be tied to organic matter. Nothing I worry right now about though anyways.

@@LarsRichterMedia "in a capitalist system like ours, especially for the poor, yes, one can make an argument for why it is." "I guess we are still far away from it, perception of inner worlds like feelings, emotions, nostalgia etc. I don't see why it needs to be tied to organic matter." A contradiction?

Lol

From what I've seen the output is no more soulless than the front page of art station. Currently so much of what's popular on art sites are 1000 different versions of the same orcs, elves, scantily clad waifu with a gun, etc. The only thing that separates them is technique. AI will basically make it so that ideas and concepts will be what stand out more than technique alone.

@@leedotson6323 Yeah you are right they all look the same.. after a while.

Wow, that hit the nail on the head.

i am that friend, although i suck at drawing, they have no idea because they dont have any idea what is good or bad lol.

Good thing we live in this day and age because I have no friends

@@kithalie Good thing in this day and age we have youtube videos that can teach you how to draw or paint virtually everything.

So the execution doesn't matter? The AI "did it for her" and her paint strokes didn't take skill, right?

Thank you so much, Sarah! 🥰💕💕💕

I can understand why most profesionals aren't too hyped about it. For hobby artists this is a definitely a fantastic tool. It will undoubtly help them be more productive with whatever little free time they have available after they work on their main jobs. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Professional artists on the other hand, won't have this luxury. For many of their clients, the ridiculously low barrier of entry, the cost efficiency and rapidly increasing quality provided by an AI, will be enough for their commercial needs, and this will cost many artists their jobs (it is already happening as I type this). The very few that keep their jobs will be reduced to the role of a "glorified editor" as someone else mentioned in another comment. Before the advent of AI, artists already had to struggle with competing in a saturated market, being overworked and underpaid, having their art stolen with near impunity, and having to deal with the stigma of being considered non-essential. While it is true that some professionals will use this tool to make works whose quality surpasses that of the AI (as shown by the talented lady who uploaded this video), and will be able to secure a niche in the industry, for the vast majority of clients and consumers the difference is negligible. They are already conditioned to view art as nothing more than a comodity. They are overstimulated, with short attention spans and no artistic literacy or sensibiiity whatsoever. Why would a company hire an artist, regardless of their skill, when they can simply use an AI whose quality matches the industry standard by virtue of being trained with loads of preexisting material that does? I would advise anyone who aspires to be a 2D digital illustrator, to pursue a different career or at least integrate your digital art with an adjacent industry and become independent in it. It seems comic artists and animators are not in immediate danger for now due to the limitations of AI in regards to perspective and modelling, but I'm not optimistic about the extent and speed in which AI will catch up with their skillset.

You know, this argument is very weak. A mathematician uses a computer to calculate large complex values. They also use visualization tool to see the numbers in a way that makes human sense. Only a fool would praise a human for wasting the time calculating all those values by hand. Ask yourself this, during the selling of and competitions did they say "Do not use A.I art" ? Probably not. If they are going to do that, then have the people show up in person. Otherwise let it go. You have to understand in a running competition people have to be physically there and they have to go through many checkpoints. So, seeing a person using a bike would be disqualified. That example is not 1 to 1.

The genie is out of the bottle. What would you have people do? Intentionally hobble themselves and not use the tools at their disposal so they can pass some arbitrary artist purity test? This is like outlawing photoshop because it gives digital artists an advantage over traditional painters.

@@RatusMax Horrible comparison, maths are based on logic, art is based on feelings. There's no point in common between the two. Are you really making art when more of 50% of your final work was done by an AI because you were unable to express anything coherent from the beginning? Painting something is not the same as making art. Paintings go through your eyes, art goes through your soul. At the end of the day what people sell are paintings though not necessarily art, so yes this program is useful to paint and sell paintings, but not to make art.

@@highvoltage1842 When you make a breakthrough in your art, it was probably the same emotions exhibited by Pythagoras and his theorem.

@@RatusMax passion being the common fuel to achieve something doesn't make art and maths comparable.

Thank you!

As an art consumer I am very exited I can get the kind of unique art I want instantly without going though an expensive middleperson like an artist, I can also choose from many variations, and ai art is created so fast it fills my timeline with even more stimulating and amazing art

You are too optimistic, you seem to believe that this tool is in his final stage of development, instead you have to understand that it is in its pre-pre-pre infancy; the growth in its capacities will be exponential, way, way faster than i.e. the automotive industry. Cars, in their infancy, were absolutely primitive in respect to the science fiction like models cruising the streets at 350 km/h. These machines will learn and grow for themselves, they will design their next versions autonomously, in such a way that your customers will absolutely not need your work to have a useful product, they will ask the machine and the product will be shipped in an instant and virtually at no cost. You can read the message posted here above frome claimclam :"As an art consumer I am very exited I can get the kind of unique art I want instantly without going though an expensive middleperson like an artist, I can also choose from many variations, and ai art is created so fast it fills my timeline with even more stimulating and amazing art" and this is already true today, imagine in ten years.

@@ClaimClam if you prefer unpolished merged stolen art , suit yourself

@@ClaimClam the Artist is Not the middle person. If you want to print out your ai creations and stick them on the wall that is your choice as art is in the eye of the beholder and the consumer is a tightwad.

It's more like collage.

the issue is, there are already people who abuse the tool. non-artists who are tricking clueless people in buying their ai generated art, posing it as their $60 week long illustration

@@Killerbaraka Social media is being inundated by AI generated imagery and It's way harder for artists to compete in such saturated market. Just that fact by itself, devalues human made artwork. There is a lot of video and articles using AI instead of having an artist or designer do the work. But most of the people misunderstanding the problem are hobbyist, people to earn their living this way, know.

@@BelindaShort I truly wish it was just that. It is not. This is the human element removed from image creation. There is a lot of examples of images by mid journey or dall-e far better than most humans create and done in seconds. Which doesn't really matters if you make art for arts sake, but if you are a professional.. well, I don't know.

@@BelindaShort if it stopped there sure, but if you're even online at all you know people are going the full 100 yards and submitting and selling their AI pieces while playing it off as not AI art.

I don't really understand. She came up with the idea for the painting in the prompt. I think it's just saving her time. Let her visualize different ideas much quicker. You're not wasting time going down a blind path as much.

​@@mycollegeshirt I do understand, because this way it doesn' t feel like she came up with the whole thing by herself, she didn't have to brainstorm. I guess it feels more like doing team work where one person proposes ideas and another executes them their way.

That's my biggest issue too, especially when I want to create patterns.

Then work on it.

Me too, mixing a bunch of colors and fill up the canvas is eazy. But then you have to do the details.

@@BelindaShort dystopian mayans futuristic steampunk background 🥴

Same question. It's my fav part!

Better do some painting studies instead of typing words

@@swarnakanjilal4154It’s not just words, there is meaning behind the words that are typed in. People will enter very specific ideas they want from the AI. Not just “word1 word2”.

@@JewelKitschy There's a lot of people using AI to create art now, and some most definitely just type words. You can even see what prompts are being used to get some of the images like "cute girl, realistic, Loish style" . Also let's not forget that you can buy prompts now.

There aren’t many limitations, I think it’s the creators who are limited and form limited views of what’s possible because that’s all they know

I have tried midjourney and its so impressive in how easy it is to use that it is downright addictive. So yeah this will be the death of artists. At the very least digital ones.

How much does it cost to play around? I heard that it charges per image generated.

@@newbietubie I wrote a detailed reply, but it looks like RU-vid's algorithm in its infinite wisdom decided to delete it. I guess you have to look up prices on your own. Some of the services give you a number of free generations before you have to pay. There are also a couple that are completely free. In any case it is not something that will tear a gaping hole in your household budget.

@@Baekstrom thank you very much. It seems that the service references in the video might offer a number of free image generations before charging. It requires the user to create a log-in. It's an amazing service that I might have anticipated being as accessible/easy as a Google search. Lol.

Hella dramatic. So much apocalyptic type wording from so many people

I think so. It's as if we would say that Google image search is helping you to be more creative. This is somehow insulting the artist in me.

But doesn't it rather feed your imagination? Like you get a picture from the AI and spun it further, like how is the world of the picture the AI created, the beings in there. I mean creativity in general is fed by seeing things, be it real life things, art by others, stories we read etc. Looking at AI art is just a further source of inspiration.

@@kanrei The issue is that I can see that the inspiration comes from the a.i.. It's not as limitless as people make it out to be. It's like limiting your inspiration to a single source instead of keepin an open mind and being aware of art history. Is this not rather going to hurt your creative muscles? I think this is a double edges sword and I don't think relying on this is good at all.

@@christianconrad5200 It really depends on what you do with it. I mean if it is a start point, it won't hinder you to add your own knowledge, experience or using other resources as reference too. From testing the AI, I sure felt too that it uses similar ideas sometimes, so agree on it isn't limitless. Either way, I don't say just use AI and that be it. (But sure I see too, that people might use AI and maybe just improve the art they got. This sure would limit them. (Maybe, I mean people might in general maybe limit themselves to certain topics. (So here more wondering whether people might work in a narrow range in general.)) But yeah so far, I didn't do more than trying out prompts. So can't really judge whether I would limit myself and stick to the idea that AI provided or whether the idea would branch out a lot. On the other hand I might have no really used art history either as tool to enhance my art. In general I think it is good to get inspiration from different places.

@@kanrei I also tried a couple of promts, payed for a month of extra promts aswell. My point is that for a short time, it might spark a new trend with ideas that at this point seem unusual but I believe that will become dull very quickly. Beyond that, I don't see what it could teach anyone since it takes ITs ideas from existing art. I don't think it adds much at all and is way overhyped. In the end, it can make people lazy and those who put in the hard work will propably end up dropping it soon enough since they don't really benefit much from it. How creative can it be to use the same approach a milion other people use aswell?

you are mentaly r.

I feel conflicted about this issue too.

how I see it, its possible that it will clear out all those who didn't care for our art in the first place and not give us such low rates. it only works because it takes pre existing material. Iif anything, it'll show how 'just having ideas' is not enough to make commercial art and how difficult it is to make art and there is not 'easy' button

Maybe - but it is like it is and it's better to adapt and to use these tools to your advantage than trying to fight them ( because that won't happen and everyone who does it will be left out and just get bitter) so I rather see the positive sides of it and how I can improve my own artwork with it!

Jake Parker has a good post on insta about this topic. I agree with Lioba about using tools available to your advantage as an artist. However, I believe there will need to be some accountability or differentiantion from the engine and original handmade works. The people creating these pieces and will inevitably be calling them their own for profit will definitely exist the more advanced this gets. Lots of people like to make a quick buck doing the easy thing and as artists who have put a lot of time and effort into our craft it would be heartbreaking to see your hard work and effort used for those purposes. I think this might be making it easier on people to plagarise and sell other people's ideas, especially without restrictions.

Totally agree.

too bad AI is way better at those things you mentioned than 90% of artists right now...good luck trying to battle with that concept inside your head, better start now before it really catches you by surprise...

@@pedromiguel0007 No it isn’t.

@@pedromiguel0007 You don’t do art, do you? AI isn’t able to tell stories with images or imply action or meaning. It gives an image but it doesn’t give a narrative or a message.

I feel like for artists who do it as a hobby or for galleries, this is definitely super fun. But for artists who earn their money from doing commissions, the fear is justified.

@@junechevalier what sort of commissioned art could possibly be replaced by that AI program?

@@CrniWuk probably in the US where cash is king and crass is queen.

Exactly Ai can be not only a powerful tool to improve brainstorming and concepting ideas, but also a ppwerful learning tool, as you can practice copying its output or even feeding your image to it and see what you can learn with what it spits back. The people that just prompt something and use the raw output are always going to have a lesser final product than the ones that use it in a transformative way or even just as reference and then do the final piece by hand. This way you are challenged to try techniques and colors, compositions you wouldnt come up with from nowhere or even attempt, and thats a huge plus, super important for artists to improve I have always been a line artist and afraid of trying to paint, cuz its so hard. But now after my initial AI depression went away, i feel more motivated than ever to learn to paint using it as a tool. (Im just struggling with peoples reaction when i explain that :c)

⁠@@SeaSerpentLeviWhat if you prompt the AI to produce an image with your idea, then use that image to paint it as a copy of what the AI came up with? So both images are exactly the same, but the only difference is the human artist actually painted it.

You hate digital art, but want to use a machine to do the creative work for you. 🤣

people are already abusing it. just came across 5 videos on youtube of people who were promoting on how to make money out of non-edited or tweaked ai generated art, most of them who profit out of it arent even artists.

Not fond of sewing machines. I can see too many ways people will take advantage of it for profit, leaving out the human tailors that spent time, energy and money to hone their skills.

@@christophilous4831 It is not the same thing. You don't just insert materials in a sewing machine, press a button and in an hour you have a dress made. You don't give a sewing machine to random person, tell them to make a dress and they can casually make one on their first try. To use a sewing machine you still need training and years of experience to actually make something beautiful. For AI art you just write some words and you get finished product.

@1 1 Art is always moving and changing with human experience (I’m sure those art and philosophy books will tell you), and something as significant as AI is sure to change human experience, and therefore art, in ways that none of really understand yet. So I would suggest that what art will mean in the future has NOT yet been clarified. But that’s just my opinion. You are welcome to disagree.

Because those positives are kind of obvious and no one disagrees about them?

It’s not limiting. It’s creative freedom. Now she’ll have more time to create tons of masterpieces. The art struggle life and only creating 5 paintings your entire life because you didn’t have such great resources is a thing of the past. That’s like me saying stop using cars or public transportation and use your legs because you’re limiting yourself and walking is a part of being a human being. She’s an artist and always will be. Work smarter not harder!

@@magnolia2 creative freedom from not painting your actual vision but that composed of a machine? Thats like doing a master study and calling it your own vision. Creative freedom is developing your craft through hard work and patience and being able to put your vision using a visual vocabulary and being able to compose that based on your own skill. If someone else or A.I. composes for you you can't take credit for the creative aspect of it but you rationalize it however you desire.

Thank you so much for becoming a Patron, Anne! ❤️

Wow, vielen Dank für deine Promt Tipps, das sind voll gute Ideen! Die werde ich ausprobieren!!! 😍

It's like we were given used palettes and asked to turn them into meaningful images.

I totally get this. Sometimes I have images and visuals that appear in my head, but I can't find anything in real life that's exactly like it. AI allows me to bring an idea that exists purely in my mind into reality. Some people have this misunderstanding that good art is more so about "technique" than "vision" or "imagination". These are the same people that feel threatened by a tool/machine that can do their job for them.

Just say that now we have cheap tricks for making images. And it's disgusting how people are even selling these images for money. With almost 0 effort of their own other than typing prompts. AI uses amalgamation of different artists works if you type their name in, which is technically stealing. So don't get me started with all the silver lining you're trying to talk about here.

​@@swarnakanjilal4154 You could say the same about most artists also. That they are " inspired" by other artists . Maby Van Gogh invented his nervous style of painting, but most artists are not Van Gogh. That is they are using his style, ore they are " remixing" his style into they`re own. My point is that 99,9% of artists are not inventing anything at all. Andy Warhol made his own factory and had assitants do alot of his work for him, he mostly did the colouring. This " workshop" way of making art where also common way back in the Barock ( 1600s). And the way of " seeing", that is the central perspectiv, laws of colouring, technics of shading, composing and so on where not invented by the common artist. That is they are just techniks ( Techne i greek). If a engineer are using a calculator to do the calculations nobody whould say that is lazy. The AI is simply a tool that can help the artists visualise the art to help them do other creations. This means just that there is going to be created alot of new cool art. I think the artists need to start to use Crypto like NFT to " brand" the art so the autentisity is going to be verified. The colectors of art want to by art that is autentic because this gives status and identity to them In the same way as food, the consumers want to by food that is created by a real human. And other times they just want something fast and cheap made from a machine. There is going to be room for both.

@@Ikaros23 probably you're not into art so you are not getting it. Being inspired doesn't mean ripping off the original image and copy each brushstroke, it is not possible. Which is what AI does. You may try to copy Leonardo the Vinci a work, but you'll only get so close. But AI will take stuff directly from the image.

@@swarnakanjilal4154 This discussion is over from the part when you no longer have valid argument`s and are instead trash talking me. Reality is that the world and technology is evolving, the artist of the video is using it for something positiv and seeing opportunities to make new art. It`s you who are living in the past, and sound bitter. You and most others who lack the brains to see opportunity is going to bitch and complaint about change. But hell, people like you have been doing that since the wheel where invented have a good day living in the past

Will A.I be able to build the world in different perspectives? Understand the feel of the world it creates? Give it culture and traditions? No, it's just an image. You should be happy that there is a tool that will increase your skills the more you use it. So long as you didn't think that learning ended at 22, you should have no problem.

@@RatusMax yes

@@RatusMax A lot of artists create art. and get paid for art that doesn't really require a lot of storybuilding or original perspective. A lot of freelancers work commision based. And they will get a hard time considering how advanced AI is becoming. Who knows what it will be able to do in the future? It won't completely replace artists, that's kind of silly, but it will defenitely raise the bar a lot for getting into the field.

@@RatusMax Eventually it will get to that point though. There are already AIs that can write film scripts. Humans are rather predictable as well. Find enough patterns and an AI could create its own world in the future. You seem to assume it’s just going to stop here and that no one’s going to try to progress it even further. Where there’s money, there’s a way.

@@Window4503 No, I want it to progress. You fail to realize that people can make games. However the games can be panned by everyone as not fun. Just because you can make something doesn't mean it will be good.

😍😍

Aww, I'm so happy you enjoyed my video and share my point of view! That makes me so happy!! I am so grateful to live in such exciting times (technology wise) and get to witness where it will bring us! ❤️❤️❤️

For me the creativity part is a headache, I don't like coming up with ideas, I like the act of drawing/painting them. One thing I love about doing client work for example is that you have to do specific things that they request. Not every artist has a creative mind, and not every artist enjoy the same aspects of art as you

I think you don't see the real problem here: it us not just for the sake of human creativity. It is for the sake of artists' jobs. Especially the junior ones. How can you not see that people will not care about creativity when they can just write and get the image they want? Most of people do not want an artist to be original, but rather to look like the new art trend. And most of them are not even that creative that AI cannot satisfy them. It's not about artists' attitude: it's about whether we can have a somewhat stable career for the foreseeable future.

@Cri Os The real problem? This has been happening to artists throughout history, from the first time someone invented a paintbrush, to the invention of the camera. The problem here is people who call themselves artist being too closed-minded to understand what creativity really is. It isn’t using the same tools you’ve always used in the same way. That’s called craft. Creativity is born from being open, having different experiences, and being ready to redefine things as the world changes. The digital artists who are crying the loudest are the same people who displaced traditional commercial artists. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how you feel about it, this is happening, and it’s going to shape how real artists work going forward, the ones who are committed to results rather than their personal investment in an outdated process

It really is...! but also amazing!😅😆

@@LiobaBrueckner 😆

At least you’ll be surrounded by pretty pictures in your dying moments.

you're literally just making numbers up

@@adamstephenson9011 Its called a figure of speech look it up

I agree but it could be useful for practice for example.

You cannot use my images but the ones you created yourself when you have a subsrcription, their terms can be found here: midjourney.gitbook.io/docs/billing#commercial-terms

You can, there's no copyright.

@@LiobaBrueckner doesnt midjourney say all Images created with it are free for all? Or did you make them in a private discord?

Ok.

Oh yes! I actually did that with the tiger painting in the last part of the video! I erased the face and the tiger and let dall-e make images for it! But style-wise I didn't like dall-e as much as the other stable diffussion models (like dreamstudio for example) because it could only create square images and I need all sorts of formats! But it's still incredibly impressive!

@@LiobaBrueckner Have you tried "outpainting". I just took a output made it smaller gave it back to the ai with lot of transparent space around it and let it make it bigger, in the end I cut a upright (hope thats the right word (Hochkannt in German)) format.

@@aline9123 ohhh that is such a great idea!!! Haha you tricked it! I haven't tried that yet but you just gave me an idea! today I made some pose references by taking pictures of myself, I could upload it in dall-e to make a background for me (and replace my boring living room! haha) Genius!

@@LiobaBrueckner Just made this on "outpainting" instagram.com/p/ChvK7O4KeyP/

Yeah! It kills creativity in the long run. The whole idea of being creative is that you can train this skill - the more you create the more creative your brain gets. If you stop coming up with ideas and omit it your brain gets lazy and it backfires over time. Scary stuff.

@@tatianakonovalova6086 yeah it eliminates problem solving for instant gratification and I think that will harm us in the long run

but you're still conciously searching for the particular thing you had in your mind that you just couldn't recreate. I have Aphantasia and this has helped me sooo much to create things while i do not see anything in my head which sometimes makes it very difficult.

@@Kokose thats why u keep a sketchbook to keep things u imagine somewhere and then u can merge everything together. If u copy everything from the AI its unfair to call the work as your own, you better watermark it

@@witcheliz no man, aphantasia doesn't work that way, no sketchbook helps, no sketching helps, you just can't imagine things and this affects sketching too. ai is just a tool, nobody said you have to copy 1:1 from whatever AI generates, its no different from using reference images with poses and objects, except now you can generate exactly what you need

@@Kokose im a woman

@@Kokose I am sorry that you suffer from this condition. But think about this. There are people that cant Run. Right? So they can never enter a Race except you give them motorcykle. Suddenly they can. But would it be the same? Its a tough and complex Situation. For you Ai Art is a blessing but I can See why a lot of people are really worried right now.

Generating AI art and copying it. Unoriginal. But nothing's original in art in this era.

@@rexxy2409 haha true, Good when you’re supervisor needs concepts with in a day.

@@RWL112 when you can imagine the idea why not just draw it out and make AI art useless 🤣

Yess!!! It's crazy!!

till robots can creat traditional paintings, like 3d prints

@@nendu4316 There's still the human made element that would make it more valuable. There's already mass produced dishes and pottery that are "hand painted" by machines, but they're sill nowhere near as valuable as the human painted versions.

AI art is guided by human minds, without the human intent the resulting image would not exist

@@silverblue73 Yes but there's a big difference between being able to actually create art and just articulating an image.

I agree, that is why as an artist I am doing an eye and partial brain removal surgery so I will have no memory of any other artists work and I will not be able to steal the styles

@@ClaimClam Of course, because it's absolutely the saaaame thing. You can just look at paintings and remix it within 5 seconds in your mind and put off a result, no observation skills, understanding of the fundamentals or painting or motor skills are required.

​@@quetevalgavergaaa and you can drive 100 miles in an hour with no understanding of math, physics, engineering, and auto maintenance

@@ClaimClam strawmaning hard

@@ClaimClam And another false equivalence lmao
