I really think making a video about why not to move would be great. Talk about the paperwork, the day to day, the fuss of having to get your internet set up. The basic, day to day things we don't think of.
As an editor full time - at the moment I'm not worried about AI - mainly because it can cut things together sure, but definitely can't effectively tell a story at all. In the hands of a great editor it's definitely useful for time saving (rescuing bad audio or text based editing is witchcraft!), but with your average editor or VA, it's not going to produce useful results and if anything flood the internet with rubbish edits. But as mentioned - most people are happy to put out average videos because who would really notice anyway 🤷♂️ Which is a shame
at the moment not worried because I generally do broadcast work, but just about every other industry in video has been completely gutted by entry level editors using 'AI' apps already, or in the process of it.@@southcoastinventors6583
We were sold the idea that ai and technology would do the hard jobs we didn't want to do. What we have is ai tech taking the jobs and past times of artists who WANT to do art, and enjoy making art.
As a voice actor, it's scary to see how jobs (no matter how low profile or entry-level) are being replaced with AI-Generated voice, and people's likenesses are being used without their consent. Nice to hear you guys' insight on the subject. Thank you!
@@Lucky14970 Yes, fortunately there are other jobs I can do. Just not ones I spent a large amount of money and time in education learning and refining, because of having a career path I want. 👍
@@Lucky14970 That will go for a lot of people, should AI advance - which it will unless laws are put in place. Not many jobs that can't be done by an AI - and eventually robots. Entertainment/Art/Creative subjects will have a lot of AI work coming their way over the next couple of years. Driving probably the same - Be it taxi, lorry, car, delivery services, what not. Elder care they're already attempting to bring in more robots and AI - be it robot vacuums or robots delivering news paper and food. Programming will have large parts replaced by AI - even if some people would need to check over the code... for now. Food delivery is already being replaced by robots - as we've seen. Quite a lot of intellectual educations could be replaced by AI. Lawyers could be replaced by AI. Architects. AI is already assisting in detecting cancer from CT scans / Medical.. and what not. Having been bored and gone through a lot of these.. for the time being, I only really see general contractors not being replaceable -- yet. Furniture and such are already made by machines, eventually designed by them too. House building can be done by machines, like 3D-Printing-like machines. Though, getting an AI, and robots, as they are currently, to fix your plumbing.. that might take a few more years. Same with electrics, carpenters, such. So you know, learning a new trade probably goes for most people, over the next 50 years. Probably you included. Stop being an arse. And especially - stop being an arse about people losing their jobs - and jobs they care about, job they enjoy -- cause you too might be hit by this one.
Thank you Chris and Pete for addressing how bad "AI" art is gonna hurt actual artists and you will continue to give them the business unlike other youtubers who try to promote it. That's why I watch and listen to your content.
‘Wild Wild West’ is infamously the coda to Kevin Smith’s hilariously-told (though very 90s) story of working on the never-released ‘Superman Lives’ with the guy that eventually got tapped to produce WWW, John Peters
As an artist, AI could have been a great tool to help with making art (I know a great animation app that uses AI to makes inbetween frames) but like the real pain is that grifters and tech companies went mad with these AI generators just DID NOT give a single shit about the rights of artists. Like I don't know how it looks to people who aren't artists but my god there's been a lot of work been done to try and get AI regulated a because while it does make dogshit art a lot of time at some point it might not and it'll all be built on the datasets of hard working artists who will never see a penny from it. It's literally the whole thing of people not properly crediting artists on a whole new disgusting level. Like one of the things that really showed how fucked the situation is early on when people used AI to make art based on at the time a recently deceased artist. It was so depressing.
The only ethical way to use AI is to train the AI exclusively on your _own_ works or works you have full copyright on, or have artists who are willing to put their work on a database for a price. Because at this moment most AI are just glorified art stealing tool.
Your art is built on a data set of a load of hard working artists that you never give royalties or credit to. You learned art by studying other people's art, how are you going to argue that an AI doing the exact same thing is somehow offending the rights of those same artists?
@@SherrifOfNottingham Oh for heaven's sake, stop anthropomizing algorithms and at least get some basic education on art and human creativity before posting arguments that have been debunked for two years and are nonsense created by companies to justify the unethical means by which they obtained and used data. It is not alive, it is not learning, it is being inputed data (non censented and non licensed) and it's output is nothing but pixel placement prediction based on averages. It is nothing like human learning and it cannot create anything new, nor can it work without human input. Prompt it to create autoportrait and see what you will get. A human can create art without learning from other humans and when we learn, we don't learn from 'data set', we learn through observation, skill development and our internal emotional reaction to sensations we observed and art created from these is personal expression through application of the skills we developed from out own hard work.
@@SherrifOfNottingham there is a difference between human taking information by eye and processing it in their brain and put effort on their hands to create and machine taking actual pixel information from copyrighted files and mishmash it to create “art”. And even human artist can get into copyright trouble sometimes if the creation is too similar to the source or they take copyrighted elements to put in their works.
Hello Chris. I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but can i add translated subtitles to some of your videos on the main channel? I've sent you an email but in case it got lost, wanted to ask here
People said I would be bored of Hong Kong after 10 years but I ended up much like Chris with Japan. I have no desire to live in UK again and I am heavily ingrained here now.
I know a couple from Singapore who have lived abroad for 35 years. At retirement, they opted not to retire to Singapore because the place had changed so much from when they were young.
I met the lady who played Lieutenant Ohora (from the original Star Trek). She was so lovely. I've also met Pete Waterman (from the 80's Stock, Aikman and Waterman). He was really pleasant and we exchanged pleasantries. Good memories.
After being a listener for many years and having my study abroad canned 3 years ago do to COVID I am happy to report I made it to Japan and that Coolish was everything I had been promised and more. Now for a question for the @AbroadinJapanPoadcast I plan to visit North Japan next time I get the chance any places outside Sapporo I must visit ? Thanks. - Tai from Texas
I randomly saw Brain May in a bar in London many years ago. I didn't even realise it was him at first until part way through a quick chat. We just chatted about our drinks, took a quick picture and then I went about my business and left him alone. It was very bizarrely casual.

Damn I've got the editing PTSD as well, it's so bad sometimes when I give videos to some editors that work with me I don't even watch what they do because if I spot an error it's PTSD time considering I'm working on tight schedules, I used to live editing tho, still loves it but it's a love hate relationship lol
The only "celebrity" I've randomly bumped into is David Bradley, from Dr. Who and Harry Potter fame. Funnily enough, I've ran into him twice, if it happens a third time he might think I'm stalking him
Autumn leaves are tricky thing, I arrived too early this year to watch the entire valley of Shirakawa-go, Gifu turned red - a lot of them are still green and yellow. This year, the hottest Autumn ever in Japan for 100 years, has delayed the autumn, and it is predicted to start later in late November. Kouyou (leaves changing colour) has begun in northern parts like Hokkaido and Tohoku (you can go to Nikko, about 90 minutes train ride north from Tokyo) and see some leaves are red already.
That explains why the Maidstone photo felt wrong! Something just didn’t fit. A lot really depends on the training data and the prompt. I think it’s fine to use AI, so long as it’s signposted.
To me it looked like a very random painting of a 19th-century marketplace! I've just looked at it again and I think I would just have used one of the old hospital photos that come up when you google 'Maidstone typhoid' 😅
Chris's AI picture is going to inevitably be featured in a school child's report on the typhoid outbreak and will have no idea its a faked picture lmao
I do art and I think using AI for certain situations is perfectly fine. In situations when someone wouldn't normally commission art anyway, like "What If" theory videos that show what, for example Tony Stark would look like if he were, idk, The Hulk. And using AI just for shits and giggles, or, in Chris's case, when you need a photo and there isn't one. But using AI to replace artists that would normally get commissioned, is sketchy (pun intended). On the other hand, magazines used to have drawings in it, but have long been replaced with photographs.
They can already do everything you just said. With a voice sample, a portfolio of your pictures they can create a complete AI Avatar of you and stick it against any background and make it say whatever they want. Welcome to 2023.
Earlier this year the Swedish game company Mindark let 25 graphic designers go (40% of the workforce) to instead create game design using AI. Makes me sad. I wonder if AI will replace artistic creativity.
I followed Stanley tucci to the toilet and then took a piss next to him and after I asked him for a picture his reply was not in the bathroom and then I said can we take it outside and he said yes, if I meet him again I’ll say I’m sorry I now realize how weird that was 😂 but it makes a great story remembering it like that
Wild Wild West is a terrible film as long as you take it seriously. As soon as you start thinking of it as a spoof or parody it's actually pretty good.
Cuz all those mainstream critics and movie aficionados that went to see "Wild, Wild West" starring the award winning actor Will Smith that went into the film and took it seriously. Whooooo are youuuuuuu?! How the hell do you come up with shit like this?!
Chris, you should start a new channel and create an avatar and call the channel "A BOT IN JAPAN" and have A.I. write the script - profit - I'll take my 15% royalties for this idea, thank you ;)
"I've never met anyone as famous as that - oh wait, there was Ken Watanabe. I also met Elon Musk when he was still cool!" - Chris flaunting his secondhand celebrity starshine...
As a person that critiques other UA-camr's, the comments they leave and the weirdness that is having 4 comments in a row that start exactly like this one here... I find it quite strange
we all know vegas is the superior editing program. it´s shame that adobe much like microsoft has managed to strong arm themselves into a monopoly position. where the only reason it´s used is becasue lot´s of other people use it. there´s literally no other reason. there´s nothing that premiere can do, that vegas can´t only it takes about 3 times the amount of inputs. it´s not a matter of experience either. you get faster at premieres tedious nonsense of course. but no matter your speed you´ll never be as fast as someone using vegas. becaue for any given task vegas just takes less steps. coun´t yourself lucky if you´re allowed to use any other program.
Didn't Want To Listen To This One Because I Felt It Would Depress Me In Regards To Utilizing A.I. To Render "BOTH" Live Human Writer's & Actor's/Actresses Unecessary After You Copy Their Likenesses !
It is already too late for artists as we have allowed AI to operate without any rules or boundaries, so it is like trying to shut the barn door after the horse has bolted.
AI will be a tool to be utilized, same as any other technological advancement. those who cannot learn to use these tools will be the only ones who lose jobs to them. I have been a professional digital artist for 15+ years. people were saying the same thing about photoshop taking peoples jobs back then. So I learned to use photoshop. I started using stable diffusion about a year ago. it does not take my job, its just another tool to help my job.
@@RT-qd8yl define AI. if you have a smoke detector hooked up to a sprinkler system, in todays vague and lax usage of "AI", that could certainly fit the definition. AI is a current buzzword. what it really is, is automation and sometimes machine learning. neither of these are truly AI.
The fact is that people need to stop fighting and whinging about AI and start learning how to adapt to the fact it exists. The current crop of artists who are complaining about AI being able to generate art seems very quaint for any musician who had to live through the advent of file sharing. The companies that continued to thrive are the ones who adapted, not the ones who tried to hold on to the past. Adapt. rather than Complain. That's my $0.05 of worthless opinion.
I always heard the argument that AI art being trained on other artists art is stealing but I wonder if a human is trained by copying other artists art style, how would that be ok too ? While yes an AI is much faster and efficient, but at the end of the day it’s the same thing the human did which is copy another artists style. Life is about copying and improving on it, where i take offense in, is people not disclosing it’s AI vs human made and that should be disclosed, like how something is handmade and another one machine manufactured
Deeply disapointed by your use of Ai for typhoid video. Even if it is a single image and you occasionally hire artists, it is spit in the face of every creative who has been exploited by these predatory Ai companies. Maybe you will learn better once you are at the recieveing end of such malpractices, but it will probably be too late. You just lost a subscriber.
There's nothing illegal about an artist looking at other people's art to draw inspiration to make their own art, try as you might to make the argument that AI is somehow different when it does the same thing runs into a definition line. How do you divide artists taking inspiration and learning from other people's art, and an AI from doing the same. The short answer is you can't, however people will attempt to directly attack "AI" without understanding the technology behind it... much like my grandmother hated TV because it killed radio, and while arguably it could have... there's functionally no reasoning to restrict the use of TV to save radio. People think that AI is collecting a gallery of stolen artwork and copying it and pasting it into new images, a simple look at the download size of a trained model shows you that this isn't what is happening. It learns from training data of terabytes or petabytes of data... and the file size of the model is around 5 gigs. If we tried to claim that an AI learning to draw by looking at drawings of other artists is plagiarism... then unfortunately we'd have to rule that humans can't do it either, do we want to live in a world where artists are denied the ability to draw if they've ever seen somebody else's artwork? Didn't think so. Yes, AI art has the potential to uproot thousands of people from making a living doing what they love, but you'll find not a lot of people have sympathy for them. If you've been automated out of your job before, you've likely been met with the smugness of artists and creatives claiming that what they do will never be replaced and that everybody should become creatives, so you are probably inclined to return that smugness when they start to realize that pushing people towards fewer and fewer careers is not the answer to the economic threat of automation. This is a political issue, jobs in countries with automation are in a deficit, we're losing more jobs to automation every year than we're creating in "new fields" which is not the same of the industrial revolutions of the past, where there was always a surplus of job creation. The answer is not "cancel AI" or try to claim that looking at art invalidates your ability to be an artist, the answer is to remove the need to work so these artists aren't starving and still able to do what they love. While the corporations and other content creators that can't afford those commissions can rely on AI art, and if the need to work is gone then these creators can work with each other more often reducing the need for AI work to be in the kind of content most people want to see.
@@wholesomevoid7168 The point I'm making is that suddenly caring about automation taking jobs because it's the artists and writers who have a platform to complain about it is really a selfish response. If they wanted to prevent automation from taking jobs they shouldn't have sat back smugly scoffing that _their_ job would never be replaced by a machine until AI caught up with them to let them know that no job is safe. The fact that they sat back and waited put us in a position where regulating automation of jobs would either require a load of retroactive policies that likely don't have enough reporting to fix anything, or would simply be too late and leave previous victims of automation behind to suffer. People don't have solutions because we let it ruminate as a problem for almost 15 years. Wreaking havoc to the economy unchecked because "you could always become an artist"
so Pete, no one is allowed to draw in a style that another person draws in? what about photorealism? only cameras are allowed to create photos? what about the filters that these cameras apply, such as iPhones always smoothing out peoples skin. If your issue is with the datasets, what about when a model is trained on royalty free images, what if I train my own model only on images that I have created? if a person draws anime girl, that is not ripping of Miyazaki or anyone else. Nothing comes from nothing, everything comes from something. Everything is inspired by something else.
The important part is that people don't understand how training actually works, and while it's not 1:1 of our brains, attempting to restrict the ability for AI to view copyrighted works bleeds over into the world where no artist is allowed to view copyrighted works in their lifetime. People _think_ that training is a fancy word for making a library of pictures for it to copy and paste from, one look at a trained model's file size kinda disproves that, being less than 5 gigs after being trained on terabytes or even petabytes of images.
I can respect the coincidence of opening my subscriptions and seeing something uploaded 19 seconds ago. I guess this is what I'm watching this lunch.

Not a single AIJP cover with Pete on it? Why?
I tried out a ai editor for a piece of content at work. It was unbelievably bad. Heads cut off, weird framing, etc. 😆
Glad I Finally Listened To This One In Regards To Natsuki Getting Fitted Out For 2,000 Pound Sterling Shoes. While Being Watched By Kenneth Branagh.
I followed Stanley tucci to the toilet and then took a piss next to him and after I asked him for a picture his reply was not in the bathroom and then I said can we take it outside and he said yes, if I meet him again I’ll say I’m sorry I now realize how weird that was 😂 but it makes a great story remembering it like that
Wild Wild West is a terrible film as long as you take it seriously. As soon as you start thinking of it as a spoof or parody it's actually pretty good.
Cuz all those mainstream critics and movie aficionados that went to see "Wild, Wild West" starring the award winning actor Will Smith that went into the film and took it seriously. Whooooo are youuuuuuu?! How the hell do you come up with shit like this?!
@@Lucky14970 Chill. You sound like the type of person who takes Wild Wild West way too seriously.
@@Ashley6100 yeah, you know me just like you know all those individuals who took WWW seriously !🐵🙈🙉
Chris, you should start a new channel and create an avatar and call the channel "A BOT IN JAPAN" and have A.I. write the script
- profit
- I'll take my 15% royalties for this idea, thank you ;)
"I've never met anyone as famous as that - oh wait, there was Ken Watanabe. I also met Elon Musk when he was still cool!" - Chris flaunting his secondhand celebrity starshine...
Compared to UK of course
No way I could tell if you were fake😂 Chris ☝️
As a person that critiques other UA-camr's, the comments they leave and the weirdness that is having 4 comments in a row that start exactly like this one here... I find it quite strange
we all know vegas is the superior editing program. it´s shame that adobe much like microsoft has managed to strong arm themselves into a monopoly position. where the only reason it´s used is becasue lot´s of other people use it. there´s literally no other reason. there´s nothing that premiere can do, that vegas can´t only it takes about 3 times the amount of inputs. it´s not a matter of experience either. you get faster at premieres tedious nonsense of course. but no matter your speed you´ll never be as fast as someone using vegas. becaue for any given task vegas just takes less steps.
coun´t yourself lucky if you´re allowed to use any other program.
AI models don’t age or get fat.
Pretty sure Jared is still in prison. I'd hope so anyway.
Didn't Want To Listen To This One Because I Felt It Would Depress Me In Regards To Utilizing A.I. To Render "BOTH" Live Human Writer's & Actor's/Actresses Unecessary After You Copy Their Likenesses !
It is already too late for artists as we have allowed AI to operate without any rules or boundaries, so it is like trying to shut the barn door after the horse has bolted.
Oh And I Don't Trust Algorithms !
AI is gonna wipe out all the good jobs at this rate
AI will be a tool to be utilized, same as any other technological advancement. those who cannot learn to use these tools will be the only ones who lose jobs to them. I have been a professional digital artist for 15+ years. people were saying the same thing about photoshop taking peoples jobs back then. So I learned to use photoshop. I started using stable diffusion about a year ago. it does not take my job, its just another tool to help my job.
@@jormungand72 AI is not at a point where it will help me put out a house fire.
@@RT-qd8yl define AI. if you have a smoke detector hooked up to a sprinkler system, in todays vague and lax usage of "AI", that could certainly fit the definition. AI is a current buzzword. what it really is, is automation and sometimes machine learning. neither of these are truly AI.
Please please keep hiring artists and don’t use AI 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The fact is that people need to stop fighting and whinging about AI and start learning how to adapt to the fact it exists. The current crop of artists who are complaining about AI being able to generate art seems very quaint for any musician who had to live through the advent of file sharing. The companies that continued to thrive are the ones who adapted, not the ones who tried to hold on to the past. Adapt. rather than Complain. That's my $0.05 of worthless opinion.
I always heard the argument that AI art being trained on other artists art is stealing but I wonder if a human is trained by copying other artists art style, how would that be ok too ?
While yes an AI is much faster and efficient, but at the end of the day it’s the same thing the human did which is copy another artists style.
Life is about copying and improving on it, where i take offense in, is people not disclosing it’s AI vs human made and that should be disclosed, like how something is handmade and another one machine manufactured
True
Deeply disapointed by your use of Ai for typhoid video. Even if it is a single image and you occasionally hire artists, it is spit in the face of every creative who has been exploited by these predatory Ai companies. Maybe you will learn better once you are at the recieveing end of such malpractices, but it will probably be too late. You just lost a subscriber.
There's nothing illegal about an artist looking at other people's art to draw inspiration to make their own art, try as you might to make the argument that AI is somehow different when it does the same thing runs into a definition line. How do you divide artists taking inspiration and learning from other people's art, and an AI from doing the same. The short answer is you can't, however people will attempt to directly attack "AI" without understanding the technology behind it... much like my grandmother hated TV because it killed radio, and while arguably it could have... there's functionally no reasoning to restrict the use of TV to save radio.
People think that AI is collecting a gallery of stolen artwork and copying it and pasting it into new images, a simple look at the download size of a trained model shows you that this isn't what is happening. It learns from training data of terabytes or petabytes of data... and the file size of the model is around 5 gigs. If we tried to claim that an AI learning to draw by looking at drawings of other artists is plagiarism... then unfortunately we'd have to rule that humans can't do it either, do we want to live in a world where artists are denied the ability to draw if they've ever seen somebody else's artwork? Didn't think so.
Yes, AI art has the potential to uproot thousands of people from making a living doing what they love, but you'll find not a lot of people have sympathy for them. If you've been automated out of your job before, you've likely been met with the smugness of artists and creatives claiming that what they do will never be replaced and that everybody should become creatives, so you are probably inclined to return that smugness when they start to realize that pushing people towards fewer and fewer careers is not the answer to the economic threat of automation. This is a political issue, jobs in countries with automation are in a deficit, we're losing more jobs to automation every year than we're creating in "new fields" which is not the same of the industrial revolutions of the past, where there was always a surplus of job creation.
The answer is not "cancel AI" or try to claim that looking at art invalidates your ability to be an artist, the answer is to remove the need to work so these artists aren't starving and still able to do what they love. While the corporations and other content creators that can't afford those commissions can rely on AI art, and if the need to work is gone then these creators can work with each other more often reducing the need for AI work to be in the kind of content most people want to see.
So socialism?
@@wholesomevoid7168 The point I'm making is that suddenly caring about automation taking jobs because it's the artists and writers who have a platform to complain about it is really a selfish response.
If they wanted to prevent automation from taking jobs they shouldn't have sat back smugly scoffing that _their_ job would never be replaced by a machine until AI caught up with them to let them know that no job is safe. The fact that they sat back and waited put us in a position where regulating automation of jobs would either require a load of retroactive policies that likely don't have enough reporting to fix anything, or would simply be too late and leave previous victims of automation behind to suffer.
People don't have solutions because we let it ruminate as a problem for almost 15 years. Wreaking havoc to the economy unchecked because "you could always become an artist"
so Pete, no one is allowed to draw in a style that another person draws in? what about photorealism? only cameras are allowed to create photos? what about the filters that these cameras apply, such as iPhones always smoothing out peoples skin.
If your issue is with the datasets, what about when a model is trained on royalty free images, what if I train my own model only on images that I have created?
if a person draws anime girl, that is not ripping of Miyazaki or anyone else. Nothing comes from nothing, everything comes from something. Everything is inspired by something else.
The important part is that people don't understand how training actually works, and while it's not 1:1 of our brains, attempting to restrict the ability for AI to view copyrighted works bleeds over into the world where no artist is allowed to view copyrighted works in their lifetime.
People _think_ that training is a fancy word for making a library of pictures for it to copy and paste from, one look at a trained model's file size kinda disproves that, being less than 5 gigs after being trained on terabytes or even petabytes of images.
