Im using glaze but I'm noticing how long it takes to glaze a single image. Any tips to make the process faster?

I'll consider it

5:55 I think this is what kinda killed my interest in AI art and lol, as crazy as it sounds I recently began to feel nostalgic about Midjourney v3 and v4 results as despite them being utterly flawed they had something interesting in them and made me feel like "Hey, I could do a drawing based on this". The AI generated stuff I've seen over this year usually just feels either too perfect, too polished, over the top rendered and maybe just too commercial looking. Like, don't get me wrong, it looks realistic and convincing to the point sometimes I can't tell it's AI but along the way it lost something that made it actually fun to use as a conceptualizing/brainstorming tool. It just feels like seeing an artist kid who had potential and a style going for them but eventually went to work on some mainstream AAA games on Hollywood blockbusters, sacrificing his personality for the mass-appealing commercial look. (And even when you try it to replicate a style it just somehow always "generalizes" the style and loses its quirks).

If you can train a tool to do this programmatically you can train the AI to undo this or have a process to undo this programmatically before the images are fed into the AI it's a cat and mouse game

That takes a lot of hubris to think mid journey is going to choose your artwork specifically and create a name and category just for every internet artist on the block. I believe these tools are very valuable for high level professional artists who's work fetches high prices on the open market or have made contributions to their field

One thing everyone ( and I mean Everyone) should get clear… Under no circumstance should you underestimate Artificial Intelligence. It’s not if - but when - they reach another milestone. It’s only been around 5 years since we had viable Ai models and within a hairs breath, the models continuously evolve into the monsters they have become today. I repeat do not underestimate the ability of what we have created.

I don't hate AI art. I just hate people who use AI art and think they are some kind of big shot just because they pressed 1-2 buttons lol. You're not special, dude. You entered some keywords and let the AI do all the work, so calm down, Picasso...

So happy I found your channel

The why important people love AI? Us less important people are, what. This child is sick.

Napkin looks like a good tool. What I would love though would be a tool that lets you select any text and then copies it onto a card for you and has the source in your preferred bibliography style. It could also instantly search the web for earlier identical or similar phrases and allow you to view the results and choose one of them to site instead if you want. That would be a good use of AI.

"Refusing to walk towards the future is the only way to go extinct" could also refer to AI-generated images companies taking art from artists without permission nor compensation and getting sued. They can't keep existing like thism, they have to adapt to a future that care about the rights of human artists. Also, if AIs keep taking artists' works and creatrive jobs, artists will incraesingly either stop making art or stop sharing it online where there is the risk of theft by AIs, so the AIs can't grow their database further with new fresh meat and their resulsts will deteriorate. Also, it's funny that the actress you mention allows people to use her voice with AIs as long as they give her half of the money earned. There are plenty of artists whose style is copied and their artworks are used with AIs by people to make money online, but they don't see a dime. If their rights were protected and they could decide to give or withdraw permission, and they could recieve half of the earnings, AI would be much more loved.

Thx

"turn randoms into full-fledged artists" And I'm here thinking artists were considered randoms because society loves to ignore them. Have you seen the number of good artists ignored on Instagram, Facebook, X, etc? It tells a lot about what people think about artists. (yup, I'm an artist)

I didn't get anything. Everything here doesn't make sense to me. I guess the texts you're reading in the vids of this channel are AI-generated.

Suno song at the end? :p

What happens running the same iterative re-encoding using a human-written compression algorithm?

Why not both... thumbnail drawing by hand to do the "thinking", have AI fill it to give it as a first impression to the client, gather feedback, adapt the thumbnail drawing if necessary, then work on the final piece.

As a probability engine, AI really struggles with perfection, and it will take a long time to this not be the case (maybe for ever). It's in the minor things as you said. A real devil in the details. That's why it is used in programming only when supervised. Some times correcting it's errors is more time consuming than implementing the feature yourself from the ground up, as these errors are made so masterfully hidden. That's the reason that it's not being seriously used in the health industry in large scale, or in law firms to right important documents. The devil in the details can kill a company if it is hidden in the wrong place, and there will be no one to blame. So a human must read, correct and sign below. Now. Think for a moment. Which endeavor is more perfectionist than art creation? How much you must describe your vision in a prompt to se it rendered as you envisioned it in the screen? An infinite prompt I would say. Than why not take your pencil and draw it? It will be easier. I assure you. If AI is capable to reproduce your vision perfectly, is this vision really yours? Great video. Necessary discussion. Cheers

really loved your breakdown of the advantages of hand drawing thumbnails!

maybe this is a good video :D

i guess you're saying art if you mean illustration throughout the vid.

Man I hope you don't get shit on simply for being an AI focused channel, you value traditional art, and these blind raging anti-AI zealots might take away from interesting discussions to be had.

Personalization? Midjourney is leagues behind local Stable Diffusion in terms of stylization, features and useful techniques. I should try it if you want to see a bigger picture

Most artists are randos though.

I've thought about thumbnails and AI for a while and I think the the relationship is somewhat backwards. I'd love to be able to let AI take my thumbnails and render them. But instead its just rendering fairly boring compositions. This is a place where I think AI and artists could benefit from each other. Thumbnails are where a lot of the artistry can occur so even though you may be leaving the rendering to the AI, it still could be considered art that you made. You're just leaving the time consuming "grunt work" to the AI. Instead they're trying to go all the way to replacing artists and that doesn't appear to be working.

On the point of comparing an AI image to a thumbnail, I hold that A) a thumbnail is fast, seconds or minutes rather than hours. [If it is hours to make a thumbnail, that is an interesting oddity] B) a thumbnail is not (usually) an end to itself. This is a choice of framing of how to view AI art, as a quick stepping stone in a iterative process. It doesn't mean that AI has value for any given artist. We have to sort of squint and assume value for this to even make sense to discuss. This choice of framing also doesn't say anything about AI replacing thumbnails. On the contrary, a thumbnail would make perfect sense as part of an img-to-img workflow (show me 100 loose-polish versions of this thumbnail). So in that case, the thumbnail would come first, then the renders, then whatever other process. I'll add, I'm beginning to doubt my own framework here, for reasons I won't go into just now. It's by no means a perfect system.

I'm not interested in MJ (for a dozen reasons), but I REALLY like this video. FASCINATING.

Coming from a completely sincere place, I think the arguments in this video as portrayed are in large part weak and illdefined. You claim that the researchers study if AI understands AI, as if AI is some monolith. The neural pathways used to produce images vs explain using text are entirely different, understanding high level reasoning of models is an open (unanswerable?) question. I think the reason why AI art feels hallow beyond aesthetics is that a large part of our enjoyment of art comes from our attempts to empathize with the feelings and thoughts of the artist across time and space. If we know that there is no artist we can relate to or find inhuman artifacts, the illusion is broken. Sorry for the rant, just putting my thoughts out there

A diamond the rough, very nice!

Fuck AI. Period full stop.

Main problem here is the cost no? Spending an insane amount of energy to make meaningless stuff is a joke you’d see in a comedy not real life.

Here is the thing: In a world without capitalism, AI (or automation in general) would be an unquestioned good. Anything that makes work easier is on the face of it a benefit for society. But since you need to sell your work for money in this system, being replaced by a machine does not bring freedom, it brings starvation. For the sake of argument, lets assume that we only use AI that has been trained on artists who consented and were compensated for it. Still it would replace all the artists who did not work on the creation of that AI and all future artists as well. The same way nobody uses the Loom today outside of museums or Portrait artists outside of personal wishes rather than the norm for ever important person before the photograph. Which again - without the monetary incentive structure - would be fine. Only those make art by hand that actually want to. But they also gotta eat. AI just reveals that we already live in a dystopia and have only been taught never to question it.

Just found out about your channel and it's so refreshing to see the perspective from someone who understands both sides of the matter! Keep up the good work! About "AI democratize art and empower anyone with a creative vision.." type of arguments, i think it stems from lack of awareness of the art creation process to the point of mythologizing it, from the general population. They attribute artists' greatness entirely to natural talent as if artists were Da Vinci-ing straight out of the womb of something, while ignoring the main factor: hard, grueling LABOR. Practicing & applying anatomy, perspective, stylization,... is hard labor, and those only make up the outer aesthetic of artworks. Where do they think "creative vision" even come from? It's the observation & contemplation of the world around them (which require much work to actually make it interesting/worthy of note), that can only be convey successfully through the understanding of the visual language, the medium, the culture, the context behind it. Which require research, study, practice,... aka LABOR. Therefore artists deserve fair compensation, not being dragged by people who wants to leech on them without putting in the work i said above. That said, i believe AI will eventually settle as a tool to accelerate the artists' process (brainstorming, rendering for digital art,...), whereas the conceptual aspect, art direction & precision would be of higher value in the future (as AI can't do it well)

there is no discrimination, if I made a computer intelligence, I would first use my cultural and immediate knowledge to build it and worry about the minorities in the society secondly.

is gun good or bad?

I disagree on the reason for the artist backlash over AI. It’s not because of a misunderstanding over how AI works but rather over an understanding that corporations are using AI to steal our work. Also the Industrial Revolution the person you quoted earlier is a false equivalence. The machines didn’t eliminate jobs they made them easier and those machines also required humans to operate and supervise the machines. For example, the lace weaving machine was both one of the first machines of the Industrial Revolution and is also a programmable computer. Yeah some of them are still in operation. It still needs a weaver to supervise the weave, a mechanic to maintain it. Someone to load the spools, someone to clean it, someone to program the punch cards that hold its programs, and more. In a way the Industrial Revolution actually created more jobs than it took away while still allowing industry to require less man power. Really the most prolific product of the Industrial Revolution was free time which was a foreign concept to the working class at the time. AI however is doing nothing to reduce the labor requirements of any humans or to make people’s jobs easier - if anything with the amount of incorrect and even dangerous information it has been spitting out it has actually made many people’s jobs harder. Add to it that the tasks it has been assigned are creative and informative tasks that people enjoy doing and helping others with and not mundane and labor intensive tasks and it’s easy to see why we are not happy with this AI revolution. The problem with AI is not that it’s inherently evil; It’s not and it’s not inherently good either. It just is. It’s the people operating and programming it that are good or evil.

Fuck AI. AI is and will stay a niche thing just as VR is and will be. It's unnatural and humanoids don't dig it.

Good video. I'm an artists myself, and while i don't like the general idea of ai companies and how they've treated artists, I do believe there is something that can be found within AI, and that in particular is averageness. For example, I've trained an AI based on my own work, and it's surprising to see what the averageness of your own work is-it's really something between beauty and horror, or even sacred and profane.

My theory is that art (the art that we make with our hands) will evolve. Just like it did when photography came out and artist who did portraits were replaced for cameras. Great video! i liked a lot the experiment

Whats the music at 9:16 called?

If I understand correctly, AI doesn't like to make mistakes so doesn't like to repeat things. I wonder then if that is why the still frames over time "move" when put together as a video.

I honestly dont care about the future of AI, it will collapse eventually when it will start feeding itself its own images or poisoned images. What is the most sickening for artists is that they used our art without our permission to train their AI, basically stealing our art to recreate our style and copy our work to replace us. It is a question of copyright and ethics, not the future of art itself. Us artists will still be vastly superior no matter what, because AI will never be able to create art, especially now when a lot of artists glaze and poison their art images.

Interesting. I'm not surprised that very small errors compounds into the total degradation of the original image. But I am surprised and can't figure out how the autoencoder loses "the plot" on a all white image or black image.

That's actually amazing! Also, what a great video. I hope more people come to know your channel!

From an analytical perspective it seems that the AI is seeking not to understand the art but to order it into familiar patterns that it recognizes and is comfortable with. It’s as if the machine suffers from extreme OCD and what we humans view as art it views as a complete disorderly mess.

Thank you for showing these examples! There was something strangely mesmerizing about it.

Actually, the topic is quite triggering for me. As a person who enjoys art and was considering to become an artist, emergence of AI visual models broke my heart. I've seen a bunch of creative ways artists use AI to create art pieces such as paintings, digital illustrations and even works that look like movies... I understand artists who chose to use AI as a tool or integrate it into their art. But for me, it's still so uncomfortable to acknowledge the shift in the future of art. Except the ethics behind this, I'm saddened to imagine that over time we might lose genuineness and authenticity in art, which for me, are basically the reasons why I love the art in the first place...
