With all due respect, your video is just misinformation. AI art generators do NOT copy and mesh existing artworks together, it is simply impossible, there would be literal petabytes of data to copy from. What they do is they learn to recognize patterns, shapes, colors, and other features present in the images and associated datatags and then recreate them from noise (in case of diffusion models, GANs are a bit different). So its a common and very pervasive myth that AI image generators just cut, copy and paste from pre-existing images. They DONT and it would be extremely hard for them to do that as they'd have to have directly memorize millions of image. (one exception is overfitting, but thats a super technical detail).
Please, you have a large platform, you have a lot of viewers, you have a great responsibility to tell them the truth, to proof-read your scripts so that you would not be translating misinformation. Please, do that.
@@TheManinBlack9054 just looked up petabytes. Why are petabytes never referred to. Signed actually interested
I really hope we get some people in congress below the age of 500 so they will understand these issues with AI, and actually listen to artists/creators’ concerns
If we're lucky we may get a few early seniors instead of late ones
Unfortunately, Vampires don't die that easily
It's not just age that's the problem. It's lobbying and lack of accountability. There's plenty of young fascists and neo-liberals in government and there always will be as long as corporations are allowed to fund them. Remember to vote, especially locally, and call your state reps to voice your opinions.
@@howlsmoodycastle9313yes
Not gonna happen without voter participation, which isn't as reliable as it ought to be
What's terrifying is the majority of content AI is trained on is other people's hard work without their consent, compensation, or credit. Any corporation or person can steal whatever they want and use it however they want in a matter of seconds. It really is dystopian.
Thats also what the majority of artists are trained on
@ZeallustImmortal while that's true, an artist also spends years developing their own style and techniques, and AI doesn't do that. It's a bad copy. Always
@@msjkramey 99% of artists do not have their own style
@@ZeallustImmortal where'd you pull that "statistic" from?
@@msjkramey From reality, open your eyes. Vast majority falls into very distinct styles with no deviation.
I used to love painting, drawing, writing, photography. I went to art school, because art is my life. I became a graphic designer / illustrator, but recently my boss decided that AI would make my job easier... Now I hate my life.
Did they replace your job or decrease your pay or something else . I also am training in art and animation so i am pretty curious
@@aguywithnolife9101
They replaced my work pretty much. Every new design and illustration is made by AI, so I can only correct mistakes and things like that.
@@MadAliceT holy shit..I presume it's a popular local studio?.I hope that they are still paying you the same salary
The worst part is that many people don't recognize what issues come with AI getting too advanced. Gotta be careful here
We as humans have a bad reputation of not placing enough safety measures BEFORE anything goes wrong. Rules and regulations only get made after something bad happens. At what point do we find ourselves in a scenario where too late is way too late?😂 anyways, stay safe!
@@whitehuayrathat's just because it's hard to anticipate everything that can go wrong. We do the best with the limited information that we have and then tweak it from there
As Philip DeFranco has said multiple times, this is the worst it’s going to be
Politics, more propaganda, & so forth is going to be extremely concerning.
@@CarterTheGinger uhhh no. thats not even the worst of it, far from it lol. Ever heard of "Unaligned AI" and paperclip maximizer? Yeah, thats what is ACTUALLY scary.
I’m an artist and I literally wrote a whole essay about ai art taking jobs from animators it’s crazy
Can I find your essay somewhere?
Welcome to the club, people have been having machines and computers replacing their jobs for decades and none of you creatives cared because you thought you couldnt be replaced.
@@ZeallustImmortal Aaaalright settle down there, bucko. You can be (rightfully) angry about that but don't go around projecting your anger and baseless assumptions to random people, you look like a clown.
Congrats on wasting your time
@@ZeallustImmortalchill
AI could be used to help with ANYthing to better the world we live in. Seeing it used to take from those in creative fields that already have little to no respect is so disheartening
The Dall-E devs actually leaked a doc with 16000 artists names on it for their AI to steal from, meaning it is in fact targetted in this case. Which is terrible but also a huge blow to AI
I think its impressive that 10+ years ago ai and robotics were invented to replace high risk low reward jobs in a way that allows humans to focus content creation and open the opportunity for peoples expression to come out... and then covid happened and life just isn't the same since then
What does COVID have to do with AI?
@@msjkramey It's a joke. OP is referencing how seemingly everything just started going gradually worse after COVID.
Not having ideas and struggling to brainstorm is part of the process ! One of the most rewarding parts of the process is that moment when you move past that block
Absolutely! I think that also ties into the cultural/ personal impact art is supposed to have. One of my favorite parts about experiencing the creative works of others is wondering ‘how did they come up with that?’
Also the act of dealing with the block usually helps you learn and come up with more ideas. Random example: When Pixar was writing "Inside Out" the lead writers got stuck on what to center the story on regarding Joy and Sadness' relationship. It was bad. It got to the point one of the lead writers went for a long hike in the forrest alone to blow off his frustration and pain. And it was only THROUGH DOING THAT that he realized what's always helped him when he's lost is being comforted by others, and that that comfort was a direct result of him expressing/feeling sadness.
The man literally lived out one of the most pivotal moments of the story in real time BECAUSE HE WAS STUCK ON THE STORY, which then led him to being able to include it IN the story in what turned out to be a (clearly) VERY impactful scene/lesson for audiences.
Now imagine losing all that because your go-to was from using an AI prompt...
It’s refreshing to see a creator that doesn’t support AI. I’m shocked at the amount of creatives who support it
If they support it they are not sure of their habilities, and given that the majority of creatives suffer from impostor syndrome, that is just being coward and a thief.
I'm an artist, like drawing is LITERALLY the only thing I know how to do. So I decided to take a course on illustration, just so I would have some sort of document to prove that I know how to draw, only to arrive at class and see everyone (teacher included) cooing over some IA art like it was the greatest thing to have ever appeared on earth.
It truly is a marvel, that we can create beauty at the click of a few buttons.
Do u have site/account for ur art? I would love to check ur art :>
@@ZeallustImmortal here's that attention you wanted
@@Hodgis93 Theyve never posted their art anywhere
top two comments are wild. extremely obvious that they never tried their hands at something creative so of course they’re going to love it and ridicule “creatives” for it. when did graphic designer, animator or illustrator stop being ‘real jobs’? y’all entertaining in a pitiful way ♥️
I definitely agree AI is definitely dangerous. It could be used in dangerous ways
As with basically anything. Personally dont see this as anything special.
@@GiRR007you will
“Creatives are on the side of Ai”
Me, who’s only seen artists rage against Ai: You sure??
i’ve encountered a few artists that are on the side of it mostly bc they have aphantasia, so AI helps them in visualizing their ideas
Yes, that would help as references, but most literally doesnt post the ai picture itself. @@tardybloomer
@@tardybloomer Pinterest works for that, and before AI, those images were from people and for people. A
Soon it will be a problem in this world, and there is no way to stop it, can AI really be stopped? Atleast in some middle ground
I say there definitely will be something to stop it. There is a huge push back against ai voices replacing real va's. AI art is also just heavily frowned upon to and people usually dont care for it. Not to mention AI generated has become a common insult for bad things.
I mean it's already a problem, either nothing will get done and we will be susceptible to a world totally influenced by AI or we continue shedding light on the dangers of it
AI was only great for sound editing and text-to-speech, tbh.
(There's a different between AI voices and text-to-speech).
You dont understand the cost it takes to produce ai. 😂 stop being afraid. Youll realize there isnt anything to be afraid of. fking sheep.
@@ethanreyes9549and scam artists are using and abusing from the tech, meaning it has this inherent cultural tie to other tech scams like nfts, crypto and online gambling
I'm an artist, UA-camr, and music producer, and the way you were able to create that low-fi beat in 5 minutes was horrifying, as well as all the ai art being literally stolen. That would have taken even a fast producer at least an hour, and that's at the highest level. It would have taken me probably like 2-3. This is our worst nightmare, no exaggeration whatsoever. The people who are praising it won't be cheering when it steals /their/ works, because at this point, that's inevitable. The cat's out of the bag, now, and we have to really book it if we're ever going to catch it and put it back - even then, damage has already been done. I had no idea about that poor girl, I wish that was what sparked national outrage. I'm a longtime fan of yours, love your and your wife's music and all you do. I really appreciate you bringing this up. We need to have real, hard conversations about this /yesterday/. Fuck, man. Well, I love you, brother, I'm very proud of you for all you've created. You're a big inspiration to me on multiple levels. I hope you know how loved you are.
I just checked it out and as a musician I can confirm it is as easy as he says and an absolute nightmare. I’m glad non-musicians will be able to easily create music for their projects but I feel like I’ve been cast into the void.
@YoursThatWas I've been working on music since middle school and though I'm not even ready to put anything out there, this seriously hurts. Also so does youtube CONSTANTLY BLOCKING MY COMMENTS GO FUCK YOURSELF UA-cam
@@YoursThatWascheck it, this will notify u
Can I ask you a question fellow artist? I am guilty of using AI image generation for lofi beats in the past because I was too lazy to make the artwork, but more often than not of course I will use my own photos and make my own art. I didn't fully grasp how bad it was at the beginning and I really regret using them on some of my beats. Should I just delete those songs and reupload them with new art that I create myself? Would i fall off for reuploading my old music in a new light? P.S. I make all my music myself thats not AI generated and I have put hard work into that so I want to keep that content existing
@@prod.domino It's easy to find and credit artwork online that real people have made that would fit with your music. If you no longer have the music in your video, you can probably just download it from your video, find a different picture, upload (and put something like (REUPLOAD) with an explanation of why it's reuploaded) and there! All fixed, without deleting any of your precious music. You wouldn't fall off, a lot of people like seeing that old stuff hasn't completely lost attention, but you might be able to pace it by having reuploads and new music mixed together for active followers.
As an artist and musician, AI is a complete nightmare and has almost made me give up. I went to an art gallery where I was showing off a couple pieces and there was an AI art exhibit and it ruined so many artists moods that day.
In the end, all of that AI bs only exists thanks to artists creating amazing artwork. Keep pursuing art, it's a form of self-expression after all! Real art is far more valuable, and sooner or later people will come to the realization that art is becoming rare and is far more significant than AI. Eventually people will get bored of playing with AI, and will want to see real art again
Regardless of what society is doing, keep doing you! What matters is the joy you get out of creating something. There will always be people who value your work, and who can truly see your efforts. Art has meaning, it has that flavor, the touch and soul of its creator, and all of those cannot be found in AI. As artists, we are far more superior than AI, we have absolute control over the process, we can do whatever the heck we want, and create incredible pieces that AI can never make. Art is unique, every artist has their own way of drawing, and it's always so mesmerizing to see what a human can create. Bringing life to your imagination and essentially transferring it into the real world is probably the best thing about art, that's what makes it so special
AI is deeply flawed, but its flaws are not the same as human flaws. Human flaws are what makes us real, what makes us human, what makes us imperfect. AI flaws are simply caused by the limitation of its technical abilities, such as creating weird artifacts, being inconsistent, etc.
I feel like for sure, Hollywood really wants to utilize AI. They're out of ideas, existing formulas aren't working anymore, and they're remaking everything 😢
As a girly on the intenet, I've had my image stole for AI 🌽 and it's awful
That's just sad.
Really sucks. I feel like the government should heavily monitor ai so it's not being used for dumb or horrible acts.
@@micjimster4845 If men were typically treated as a pair of boobs, not saying they aren't... but if they were the mainstream gender to sexualize, they'd understand.
Hey man, long time viewer, I think- I've watched a bunch of your stuff regardless, and love your content.
I'm an artist and good god its scary right now. It means the world to me to see one of my favourite creators out there speak up about it. Sure there's many small voices saying things consistently, but its genuinely so so important to have someone with your size of audience say something too. We gotta have each others backs in the creative community, cause whether its art, music, youtube videos or anythign else in that sphere, it's terrifying.
Thank you for saying something.
While I'm very frightened as fellow artist, there's some pictures that give me hope, like my sister likes to use it for ideas. She never posts those online, she only sends them to me and talks about the stories she's using them with, and I realized with the most recent ones she sent me last week that while they looked really good, they had issues only AI would! Like a freaky ear, and sideburn that turned into the line for the jaw, and a shadow that didn't match the rest of the photo or fit the form of the sleeve! All on the same picture! And another one where this beard turned into a weird snake shape, there was a random white cloth looking thing that didn't even match the style, and the hairline for the guy's was weirdly messed up. And then there was a profile of a wolf where the light didn't make the most sense, but where the AI obvious part comes in was the drastic change in quality from perfectly painted fur to completely flat. I know these are on probably a lower-end AI compared to a lot of other stuff, but it's still nice to have something like that to hang onto. And the fact that it will never perfectly represent people's ideas, and that a lot of AI image generators have to choose between a profile for a good face, or a messed up one with a full body pic!
AI also really doesn't do well with more cartoony styles or emotions yet, so that other stuff makes me hopeful. A robot can't put meaning into anything the same way a person does. AI COULDN'T POSSIBLY REPLICATE ANYTHING LIKE THE SPIDERVERSE MOVIES! IT'S TOO COMPLICATED! 😁 The craziest stuff with the craziest colors and abstract thoughts, and imperfect lines (I don't really count sketching in that), the stuff that shows off the most meaning and purpose is something that AI just won't be capable of handling right now.
So there's a few facts to lift your spirits! Robots just can't compare creatively with humans, it's impossible. And if worst comes to worst, there's enough passionate artists around the world to just freaking riot if need be. The internet is a powerful place. Genuinely, you could call together a bunch of people to create their own animated series in free time over the course of a few years, who knows??
So I don't really leave comments on UA-cam most of the time, but I had to put my two-cents.
I'm almost graduating art college from the illustration department, and MAN... AI is fucking terrifying. some of my old school teachers are talking about AI being taught in future classes, a-lot of students dropped out because they feel like they can't compete with it. worst thing I saw was a student for their grad show, having a piece entirely generated by AI for their grad wall (He was kicked out, but still graduated). you know, It's grim out here.
But even though pandora's box is open, I'll just keep doing my thing and draw, working on a comic right now, hope people can read it some day.
Also great vid Pig! one of these days I gotta hop on one of your streams, I've been watching you're stuff for a while
Teaching about AI in classes? Excuse me, what? What is there to teach about AI? It's the same thing as teaching someone how to use MS paint or the notepad. It's not that complicated, and it's definitely not going to do any good if it's taught in an ART college. This is ridiculous. AI is the farthest thing from art, how is that even a conversation in the first place????
I absolutely support the decision to keep doing what you do. AI is replacable and is just a new toy for people to play with, they will get bored of it eventually. Human art has no replacement, it's still one of the most valuable things to exist till this day. Paintings, architecture, commissions, music, writing, design, cartoons and animated movies, all of that is intellectual property and is protected by copyright and/or authorship. It's incredibly high in need and art is pretty expensive. It's a luxury that we see around us everyday in every corner of our world, while being easily accessable at the same time. So many things around us are created by artists (including photographers, whom I also consider artists to a degree depending on what they do), and if artists didn't exist, neither would AI. The world would be so boring without art, and the more artists give up, the less amazing art there is to be made. Only we can overshadow AI if we pursue our art, otherwise it will just be filled with AI if artists give up creating
@@DeadVoxel IKR! it should just be a toy for people to play around with (Can't take back what's already made), I've only heard some teachers talk about it, and a few hallway posters have clear AI stuff used, but so far, that's about it. I hope it stays that way, and future students don't have to take a useless class like that. (I will not be disclosing the name of the college, just cuz I don't want to be sued lol). also Thanks for the supportive words! yeah art is my passion, can't see myself stopping anytime soon!
@@fishboi3761 that's a good mindset to have! And I sure hope it doesn't escalate any further, because oh goodness I can just imagine what will happen if they push AI further onto the students
I have seen my mother and a friend online use AI for their profile pictures. My friend thinks he is an artist because he wrote it down to generate the image 🙄
We really hit rock bottom with this. I wonder what they'd say if they find out that to be an artist you have to actually partake in the creative process, not just write a prompt into a machine for it to chew up some images and puke out the result
Really glad my mom is with me on this, but when even your own relatives use AI, it shows how badly the issue has spread
My dad has giant banner on the front of his IRL shop with pictures of AI dogs... it was made from earlier models and they really look like shit but I don't have the heart to tell him how bad it looks
Can we stop it? Maybe not. Can we spread awareness, ABSOLUTELY. It needs to slow down, have rule and restrictions. Especially given the horrendous situation with the CP. I can only HOPE. This is so concerning no matter how you look at it.
Seeing you starting to draw really made me want to get back into drawing and just doing it for myself again. Hit a real block with my art because I think I started to get to critical and felt that if I'm not making constant masterpieces then I shouldn't even draw or paint
Art is a journey, a journey is full of mistakes, that's how we learn and improve. You can't make constant masterpieces if you don't let yourself fail. Even professionals don't make constant masterpieces, nobody can. To the viewer every piece of theirs may be a masterpiece, but that is the fascinations that come from those who look up to the artist, or find their work impressive. Artists are extremely self-critical, and the work that they find flawed may be a masterpiece to someone else. So really, maybe there are people out there who find all of your work fascinating?
You may never be satisfied with your artwork, or create the ultimate masterpiece that has no flaws whatsoever. So why chase after perfection? It'll burn you out very quickly, and it is basically an impossible goal to achieve. As humans we are all flawed, that's what makes us human. Same with art. Mistakes are beautiful, and unsuccessful attempts are also part of the process, part of art experience. At least when you see a mistake, you can learn from it and avoid it next time you draw. Growth and improvement are fascinating, and it's always so fun to watch your progress as you get better and better at art. Looking back at your old drawings will make you go: "Damn, I grew so much and I draw so much better now, this is incredible progress". Which is why making mistakes is so important, otherwise you will never have that opportunity to compare your growth
Edit: Also, don't be brought down by seeing "perfect" artwork of other artists. People always post their best results, and never the millions of failed attempts, unfinished works, and struggles of redrawing the same thing over and over again until you get it right. Everyone goes through that
I used ai art to practice anatomy and poses, but then realized sadly that it steals about a month ago. The amount peopel claim artists on TikTok are AI too, it's harmful all the way around. Everyone has to "prove themselves" I recommend partaking in the recent options people have made to feed into the AI to corrupt it, and to make your art somewhat safe.
Bruh, you're saying that you were using a reference, and your problem was that the program used other images to make that reference? You're doing the same thing the AI is doing.
@@mjgIIno, that's a real problem in the art world. A lot of artists will steal another artist's photography without permission or compensation. People seem to forget that photographs are art and are copywritten
youre... stupid@@Potacintvervs
goodness what are you babbling abt@@msjkramey
@nephanims8273 I responded to someone who deleted their comment. Maybe if you're confused about something I said, you can ask a real follow-up question
Bro you have more soul on UA-cam than anyone running AI channels could DREAM of
Since this is being brought up, I want to point out that I've seen UA-camrs ( not you lol ) try to accuse their critics of ' using AI' when there is legitimate witnessed evidence from people who have been personally involved with them in some way actually saying and doing such things.
It's going to allow people to not only steal stuff but also get away with doing bad things.
I am an animation student and I've decided to change my major after all this controversy. I don't think animators are going to fully disappear but at this rate, this tool keeps improving by day and we have no idea how precise it is going to get. So I do believe a lot of creative positions are gonna be removed and replaced with AI. A few animators will still be able to make a living out of it for clean ups and storyboards but it is going to become extremely difficult 3 to 5 years from now. This shouldn't only scare artists, this is a concern for everybody who consumes media.
For me, "creativity" is just a mask for larger issues: the fixation of hyper-consumption over the act of creating. This is a problem with how we live in general--we don't buy or make things to last. We make them to be replaced. But now it's bleeding into things we do to distract ourselves or relax: pictures, videos, music, channels. And a lot of the benefits that come from creating get lost in the process.
Using drawing as an example. I don't draw just to look at cool images. I do it to express myself, vent, relax, THINK. And while drawing, I'm improving my hand-eye coordination, my memory, knowledge of the world and my own body (to learn how to make things realistically). In doing that I can interact with people, come up with even more ideas and concepts that lead to even more eclectic skills in a feedback loop. All of that is lost if you're only typing some words and having a computer do the rest for you.
That's not even getting into writing, which helps you to refine, integrate, and process information. (Writing and talking about things in your own voice is how you internalize information--"You don't truly understand something until you can explain it to someone else.") I'm not opposed to AI being involved in these things all together, but an OVERUSE/RELIANCE on them will have negative impacts. We already have young people who can't read because they've spent their whole life on their phones, who use TikTok for medical information. What's gonna happen to kids growing up with this?
The world is just descending into an absolute collapse honestly. AI can be used for good reasons, but... Making it part of creation (not speaking about references or anything, I mean actually using AI in the drawing) honestly defeats the whole point of art, and with how AI is made (i.e. gathering a database from real artists' work) I doubt it's very ethical either way. It's hard to make good and positive use of AI when it comes to art
I do completely agree with what you said regarding everything else. It's like we don't even want to think or try anymore, making efforts is just beyond this society apparently. People only look at the final result, or the final product in case of AI. But those who know nothing about art can't comprehend the concept of art not being JUST about the outcome and the image. Which is probably why people use AI, I'm sure. I've seen so many people say that AI can be considered art and it's like... What? Do they really not know what art is about? Some people even say that AI is much better than real art. Or that apparently, speeding up the process by using AI and making "art" in 5 minutes is somehow more convenient than creating art from scratch, essentially implying that all of that work is unnecessary when you can just use AI. I've even heard takes where people say that it makes art accessable to everyone. Or that somehow spending an hour to refine an AI image is just as valid of an effort as spending an hour to draw an image from the beginning? Or that magically AI makes you an artist??? Like, these people are clearly missing the point, it's hilarious
@@DeadVoxelIt really is causing a disconnect between me and other people when it comes to what we use media for. I've always looked at a piece of art or writing and used it to connect WITH the artist/writer. How have they refined their craft to get to this moment? What did their first draft look like? How'd it change and why? What was a massive breakthrough for them? How many pep-talks from friends, insights from unrelated conversations, and notes in the middle of the night caused this?
Wow... This person seems to understand people so well? They've been through some shit. Or I can tell they're sad sad/happy/processing from this story they CHOSE to write and how they chose to write it.
Apparently other people just snort media to melt their brains and then walk away.
@@RoseEyed if I understood correctly, you're saying that you perceive media on a way deeper level rather than taking a glance at it and scrolling past?
@@DeadVoxel haha shocking right? (Obviously not all the time but I try to if it’s for a show or story or piece of art I find engaging)
Honestly this is so concerning and I feel people aren't talking enough (or even thinking about) the huge negative effect gen AI media will have on culture and our brains. Over consumption, social media addiction and our need to be constantly stimulated is already a huge problem. Killing our attention span, ability to retain information and over all fucking up our mental health...
Now imagine, social media companies have access to machines that can create a non stop flow of content with no humans necessary in the making of said content. Another weapon in their arsenal to keep your attention forever and ever. Ability to tweak and change the personalised content to influence you however they see fit (or however they're paid by outside forces, government companies whatever)
Human creators or even humans wielding AI to make content, what chance do they have of being seen? Unless they have the capital to push their content on those platforms.
And nobody will care to question it. Even if they do, we're too addicted to our phones/tech/social media to put it down. People will stop caring and just hand over their freedom.
We are fucked.
My younger sister on my dads side has fallen down the AI art hole 😔 I really hope that she’s grows out of that
The music segment made me sad, I want to be a producer in the future and I'm super concerned about AI fucking up the whole operation
I think the biggest issue with CREATIVE AI is that it removes all effort. Say I want to make music. Something like Garage Band is a tool I can use to make it rather than learning an instrument, but there is still a level of creativity and effort in making that tool assisted music. If I can just type "lofi with heavy piano" and get exactly that in MINUTES it's not being creative and there's no effort put into it. It has gone from something with passion into it to just...a thing that exists now, and that's both frightening and sad.
Food for thought, For almost all of human history artist has never been a job that can sustain a person. It was and still is only the rarest exceptions where artists could feed themselves and their families by just producing art. Really, nothing has changed.
The question that artists need to ask themselves is, "why are you an artist?" If it's to make money then sorry you're in the wrong field.
Let me tell you a story...there is construction going on at my work. We have a grand piano in our lobby. One of the construction foreman over New Years Eve came down played a bunch of rock music on it for all of us from memory, which on a piano is very impressive. It was great and a fun wonderful little concert. My point is that this extremally talented man never was able to be a "successful" musician but now has a job that feeds his family and occasionally he shares his talent with strangers. An AI can never do that.
“It kinda feels like it’s going off on its own” hit harder than expected, super scary stuff! as always, thanks for keepin it real
had to spit out my chili when you switched from the normal Zathura to the one with enormous melons 🤣
AI is not art. Art is creativity + hard work to improve your skill
i'm in art college and our examiner has actually pointed at traditionally pieces we've done and said 'that could be AI', so now every piece needs to be put through thousands upon thousands of hours of research and development, even if it is just a two project about China
How do you feel about this? I feel like he is trying to make you stand out... but you're up against a whole arms race every year? Maybe skills in selling your strong points is better but it might also be combined with this?
Just FYI, tracing still has its uses. You should never trace for a final product, but sometimes tracing art you like will let you notice more things you otherwise wouldn't have so you can then add that aspect to a finished piece.
People genuinely don't realize how dangerous these AI trends can be. It's exposed to someone in so many ways. If we don't put rules in place people are going to get even more hurt.
Thank you for calling out those shitty movie recap channels. No one's talking about them.
Hey Pig, My son loves your channel and watches it constantly. A year or so ago, he saw you made a viseo about the grinch and how you said you loved that movie. Well, my son loves it too, so when he found out that was also one of your favorites, he was over the moon. He ran o to my room and begged me to buy a Grinch stuffed dolland and send it to your p.o. box. So i did, The only problem is it was sent straight from amazon, so he wasn't able to give you the letter he wrote explaining why he sent it and how much he loves your videos. One day, he was watching you, and he saw it in the background on your shelf with the other stuffed toys you have. When he seen that he was the happiest I have seen him in awhile. It was one of those things that was to good to be true. I have to admit I was stunned as well. He took his phone everywhere and showed any and everybody the video with the stuffed toy.
The other day, he came up to me broken hearted, saying he doesn't think k you like his toy anymore because he hasn't seen it in any of your videos since then. He still watches you, but I can see the disappointment when the video plays and he doesn't see it.
Idk if you will read this honestly, but if you do, for my son's sake, will you please put the grinch back up on the shelf just so he can see it and know you still have it and appreciate it.
From one father to another, thank you!
this is really sweet, hopefully he sees this and puts grinch in the background again 💖

(This is long, MY BAD I have ALOT of thoughts)
AI when used for creative works, genuinely terrifies me.
I'm an artist, and one of the only guaranteed job careers out there IS art related. Character designs, full pieces, animation- all that is what I can do, but with AI used negatively, in a way where it rips our creativity away to feed to a machine that spits it out botched and mangled, seriously hurts.
LIKE- I don't got many opportunities for jobs outside of art, due to my autism and potential ADHD- like maybe drama and voice acting? but those are VERY difficult to get into to begin with, so even then, if AI gets advanced enough to be used instead of humans, I and many other creators out there who mentally and physically cannot do other jobs we're not skilled in or find motivation to do, are at risk of earning legit nothing for our livelihoods.
I can see AI being good for stuff that NEEDS it, say you make an AI that scours beaches to pick up litter, or just AI that can take over heavily taxing jobs that can leave a lasting scar on a human. So I see the potential that this technology had, but right now, people are abusing the ability of AI that it's literally risking many people's job opportunities.
It's terrifying.
Seeing your sketches was so 🥺 I could recognise some of the inspiration back when I was first learning to draw (namely drawing with jazza tutorials). I hope you keep it up!!
im glad somebody is actually talking about this, because people are acting like this isn't a big deal. We laws now to protect peoples likeness.
Omg the baffling IRONY of UA-cam to show me an add of OpenAI right when I clicked your video like - lol? Anyways, happy you talked about this
All love pig your work keeps me going everyday 🌎
remember how Lonely Girl 15 was an actress pretending to be a youtuber, in a bedroom set & an entire production team behind her? it’ll be like that but a thousand times worse, bc there is no actress, and there is no production team - it’s nothing but a soulless entity putting on a show it has most definitely stolen from real people. that’s what i worry about, too, with the way AI’s video format is progressing. and it’s so annoying when AI defenders on twitter say stuff like “you’re just afraid of change, grow up and accept the reality of life” like girl, it could put _anyone_ creative out of a job, especially writers and artists; even those working at large corporations. it’s not just youtubers and online artists. it’s graphic designers, copywriters, journalists, photographers & more.
is creativity really dying…? depressing to think about.
It really feels that way. Creativity was the very last bit of humanity and nature we had left, now? Not even that. Personally, I will keep pursuing art as I do it for myself and for the people close to me. But the future of art and creation is looking very grim, especially for those poor souls that make money off of commissions as their last resort. Most people I've seen that use AI don't even know the struggles that artists have to go through, they know nothing about the creative process or the point of art, so they deem AI generated images as "art" because apparently, art is subjective so AI can be art. I'm at a loss of words honestly
It's like these people want their entire life to consist of AI: sites, video games, images that they so adore that they probably have as their desktop wallpapers that were made by ACTUAL artists, but I guess they would rather have AI wallpapers then huh? All of their favorite games, movies, songs, content creators, books, I'm sure they wouldn't mind all of these things to be AI generated. Might as well let AI partake in architecture too, sculptures, clothing, house interior and exterior, even the very chair they use to also be designed by AI, why not? This is plain ridiculous
I want to say on the art thing. Its not bad. Drawing takes practice you can only get better. Drawing more is drawing better, regardless of the result compared to your expectations.
So...basically, UA-cam has an AI to sort out who the AI UA-camrs are? Cause that makes sense 🙄
ahdhdjajhs outro got me spooked😭
I had no idea that someone got cyberbullied with ai. As soon as that happened there should have been limits. Ai can be good, but it also has downsides.
What's fascinating and confusing about all this is that the mass use of AI proves how, on a fundamental level, humans crave/need more creative content - we want more art, music, videos, etc - we need it for communication and entertainment. And yet for decades artists have been so massively downplayed and, even before the AI boom, told that they're pursuing 'redundant' professions. With the billions of pieces being generated daily by AI, it doesn't seem like artists should ever have be called "redundant". I kind of get a bit of pep in my step from realising that even with billions of new AI pieces being made, people still want more. So I'll continue being an artist, knowing that people have an insatiable demand for art. Even if mine takes a bit longer.
I'm right with ya, I've been upset about all this for awhile. I've been a musician half my life and and an artist/writer for even more time. This all just makes being a creative so much more difficult than it already was.
Always watch your videos. Hope things start to improve for you
that stare bit at the end scared me, i was playing ow ranked and finished my game to all i saw was u staring at me,,, WAT DO U WANT xd
It's so weird that UA-cam doesn't take down all the false science A.I channels and then this happened to you. A.I really should only be use for sequencing data to find cures for diseases or to solve mathematical equations like within the realms of theoretical physics.
Not to mention this will lessen creative intelligence within humanity by making people lazy. Which creative thinking is often the key factor in solving problems that baffled people for centuries. Coming up with theories and being able to solve various things around them involve both a healthy balance of a logical and creative mentality.
Hey pig. Thanks for bringing attention to this issue. As a artist and animation major, it's incredibly disheartening to see this happen. Whats worse is the tech bros defending it....its unethical that the models were trained without artists consent. Hopefully it dies out like the NFT craze....but idk about this.
Also there is a storyboard ai program coming out. Fml.
It's crazy when you can even take the beauty out of human mistakes and replace it with the 💩 that AI mushes together
the potential risks involved with AI are really beginning to outweigh whatever benefits it ever put forward imo
i was on the fence for a long time about it as an artist... i'm also really passionate about history though. Paleontology, archaeology, etc. - and i realised the huge potential AI has to spread misinformation and outright lies in those fields when i started seeing AI generated images in history communities. Like... AI has the capacity not just to make stuff up, but to literally REWRITE history. Fake WW2 videos, fake photos from the Victorian era, fake stories about ancient civilizations. It's so, so out of hand. And seeing that made me realise that danger extends to literally everything AI can get its hands on. It's... unsettling. It almost feels like a non-issue to bring up the problem of historical misinformation compared to how it's affecting real, living people like that 14 year old girl, rest her soul. But the implications of how this will affect culture and thereby peoples' lives... I don't know, dude. I'm just worried.
Glad to hear the second channel is back to earning for you. it sucks it happened in the first place. Big fan of you Pig!
Dude, you're like one of the most creative media analysts on this site. You're always so funny and consistent, and you never fail to deliver in every video you make. Don't stop posting, Aaron. We love you ❤.
True
That's a very good point, coming up with something yourself works your brain and creates connections. Ive heard being bored is healthy for this reason.
Going to go listen to Fallen Pine all day, and Enemy. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
AI Influencers/models are a thing too.. pretty wild stuff
Thank you for speaking on this. As someone that's trying to get back into creating artwork after not being able to for 4 years due to depression and chronic pain it's really hard to have any motivation to create at all. Ai art makes artists feel like there's no point in creating anymore, it's very damaging.
I swear all the narrated shorts are AI now. The writing is too accurate
Thank you for this video, I agreed with every word you said and as an artist I appreciate these kinda an awareness videos. It was definitely very refreshing
COMPLETELY AGREE humans need to think themselves creatively to learn to grow too feel purpose in life
Great video as always, but I wanna say that, DUDE HOW ARE YOU NOT YET AT 1M SUBSCRIBERS?!?!? THERE'S OTHER 1M SUBSCRIBERS THAT JUST GET IT FROM COMMENTING STUFF AND WELL YK STUFF?!?!? BUT I RLLY LOOK FORWARD FOR YOU TO GET 1M SUBSCRIBERS AND I JUST CAN'T WAIT!1!1!
AAAAAA
OH MY GOD WAIT YOU CREATED ONE OF THE SONGS I USED TO LISTEN TO A LOT ???? WHAT THATS CRAZY???? I love common sense, I recognised the album art. Sorry that’s fucking crazy I never knew you were behind that too.
the main issue with AI is people dont realize that this is going to make us all turn to the 9-5 to get by why even side hustle creativly when a robot can out perform you in every way
I just spent like 10 mins messing around on sounddraw and it’s really bad news for musicians. I was working on a music project for a friend (for fun but admittedly not so much fun anymore) and now I almost just want to send him there to save us both the time. This is in no way meant to be an ad but it whipped up 10 tracks in 10 seconds that would’ve taken me 10 hours on my best day, more like 10 days at a normal work pace. Idk how to feel rn. Yikes.
It really does hit you hard man😔especially for the people who don't get seen
Also your song “a little bit” is my favourite I really hope you go back to making more music your songs are sooooooooo good and makes me feel nostalgic lol
Love it how he is so professional on this channel and the other one is just utter chaos😂
Up untill a decade ago, I was drawing small comics, both to learn to draw better and because I have a creative side that needs working out. Stopped drawing at all a decade ago due to bad life circumstances that drained my motivation. (Bullying at school, bad home situation, stuff like that). When New Years came around this year I made myself the promise of picking up the pieces and relearning how to draw again, and start making webcomics. Unfortunately, because of all this AI dreck that's been happening, I honestly lost al motivitian again to draw or be creative, and I just don't know if it's still worth it for me to try again. Doesn't feel that way anymore.
My brother is an artist and you're 100% correct

This may be the best outro Pig has ever made...
...and it's not IA generated xD
I think there r some ways in which ai can be used to better enhance and simplify a creative process while still maintaining creative freedom for the creators. A good example of this is with rotoscope animation, where there were these UA-camrs (whose clip u featured in ur vid) essentially made an anime short partially animated by ai, however the art style and prompt itself wasn’t done by ai but was instead of actual anime art from Castlevania. So things like this being implemented more in animation, as long as there’s no copyright infringement I wouldn’t hv a problem with due to the fact it still uses art made by actual artists in the process it just simply traces the 2D art onto actual actors using ai. Which personally I think is cool and is just a neat advancement/tool that could be used in the field of animation. I don’t flat out think ai is bad or good, I do think that there should be rules boundaries and guidelines on how it’s used to not ruin the careers of talented creators.
loved the video, but i feel that Anime Rock Paper Scissors isn't a fair example to use. The team at Corridor Digital spent around 2 months using A.I. to adjust footage they filmed in their studio on a green screen.
I'm so glad I didn't pursue art. I was deep into it, always striving for perfection, but all that brought was stress, and the competition is ridiculous.
Art has been my hobby for years now and AI becoming so huge has really affected my enjoyment of it. I still really like drawing but posting it or showing it to people isn't fun anymore.
When I show something to my class like an animation that I worked my ass off for, I'll get asked or even accused of using AI! It's just really unfair
I'm also a filmmaker student & really not sure if I should continue or find something else because I'm scared I won't be able to get a job if companies start using AI, instead of hiring actual people.
I’m high and the ending scared me
One of the biggest things about AI that deeply irritates me is that it's a genuine threat that it will put tons of creatives out of work due to the sheer competition of instant gratification that comes with AI output, but when you look at things like all the manual labor jobs that nobody actually wants to commit to, AI can't do anything about it. You would think we would focus our efforts on making the hard parts of life easier and making time for things we enjoy, like art, but instead we're trying to improve machines to essentially trivialize creative work so we can continue to slave away doing mind numbing work for the majority of our lives. It's just absolutely nonsensical when you really look at it.
This is not to say art was ever even a lucrative source of income, because for most artists it really never was. But now it's even worse than before, and it's just depressing to think that people who find meaning in life through art and want to build their lifestyle around it will struggle even harder just because the people behind modern technology don't know when to stop.
maybe people should do things because they truly have an interest or passion for them and not to derive monetary gain from them
@@mjgII You're missing the point. In an ideal world, we could do both at once, but it seems like the way the world is heading that isn't meant to be the case much anymore. We're meant to work miserable jobs in passionless career lines which suck away whatever time we would have had to dedicate ourselves to those passion projects. As the saying goes, time is money. A lot of people can't afford wasting that time.
We're starting to see this trend in the translation industry as well. The number of companies opting to use terrible machine translations instead of paying real people to do a good job is growing rapidly and it's incredibly infuriating.
if i pay an artist to make a design, and they come back with it, and i say, "its not exactly what i wanted, do it again or im not paying you", what then? some of us dont have enough money to pay someone to make a wallpaper for our phone, mr Pig.
Really terrifying
Doing art is my main job and I've been doing it for years. But now with algorithms and AI it's just scary. Idk for how long I will be able to do what I'm doing right now and doing art is the only thing I know how to do. It's something I love doing and it brings me a lot of joy. I'm just terrified and I really hope I will not have to drop what I'm doing for living.
Ooof that ending! freaky!
The long pause at the end. 💀
Getting demonetised for being considered an A.l. Channel is like being called a cheater for being too skilled
it always should be tagged as AI even if 1% AI was used to create something.
I literally got an ad for an ai video tool after the video ended
I love the idea of AI and am impressed by what we have achieved with it so far, BUT I hate that humans are gonna human and abuse it
Ai is the side gate to that big gate with everyone around it guarding it 🧐
6:09 “i’m a content creator, im a musician so i don’t know much about this stuff”
literally 2 of AI strongest areas 🤦♀️
ok..?
@@nephanims8273 i’m saying it’s ironic that someone involved in two industries that are drastically effected by AI knows so little about it. did i somehow offend you?😂
We need more videos like this. If situations like Elsagate have taught me anything, it's that nothing changes without a lot of voices pushing forward a valid message of change
Thank you, Pig.
I think something that's absolutely hilarious is that Ai prompt generators are getting heated that other Ai prompt generators are using their prompts to generate better images all the while claiming they stole their hard work 😂
Greetings comrade Bionicpig 👋
