Another fantastic video, Drew! Your humor and insights never fail to make my day. The way you break down topics with such wit and intelligence is truly unmatched. Keep up the great work! - a real comment that i wrote with my human mind after definitely watching the video
The single most damning question about "AI" that I've seen is "Why would I want to read a book that nobody bothered to write?". It perfectly applies to all creative arts in relation to AI, and you've pretty much nailed it here.
That's what I'm starting to ask and they have no answer to it. Their goal is to be the ones producing AI slop while the rest consume it and pay for it but they dont realize NO ONE wants to do that and not even them. They are ruining it for us all the nerd fucks.
exactly. when i read im paying attention to the authors literary voice and how they word things, how the narrator views the world and how it effects their decision making and dialogue. all that stuff is nonexistent with AI because it’s all taken from existing works. i’ll just read the existing work
As a disabled artist, I’ve seen streamers modify their controllers to play with an amputated hand, artists with tremors who put a tennis ball on their ones, artists who learnt to draw using their feet. Ai does not help these individuals, adapting and overcoming does!
If they really cared about disabled people (such as myself) it would be way more helpful to fund research into conditions with little known about them, like my own fibromyalgia. The number one reason I will not practice or create anything is because of my chronic fatigue.
@@Lightning_bugsexactly! How about instead of spending millions of dollars on an AI that rips the creative freedom people with disabilities ARE capable of, you donate millions of dollars to funding research on the disabilities themselves or to programs that work to help disabled people be able to create for themselves in the first place?!
@@Lightning_bugsapologies, both the beauty of creation through humans and disability representation are things I’m highly passionate and get fire up about. I worked with students with disabilities when I was in high school. I often worked on creative things with them. We had a student with an extreme case of cerebral palsy. He can’t walk or talk on his own and his cognitive functions were impacted due to complications at birth. He was still such a happy person and I loved spending time with him. Fine motor control was hard for him, but I’d often join him in hand/ finger painting. I’d paint his hands different colors and I’d paint my own and we’d have fun putting color on paper. He loved this so much that he would jump with excitement in his wheelchair when the paint was brought out and he realized what we were about to do. We also did “paint balls” where he could pick up a ball dipped in paint and push it across a large paper and roll it and make some really cool abstract art. The most dangerous thing we let him do was hold a paintbrush and splatter on paper (dangerous in that we gave it to him and ran to avoid getting paint splatters on us lol). He loved creating those things. And AI would take away the innately human marks he made with his own hands and mind. He could point to the colors he wanted and liked. He would tell us when he thought he was done and satisfied with what he made by giving us a certain look or just setting the tool we gave him down. I’d hate for some dumb AI to come in and replace his joy of making art on his own, even if it’s not conventional art. Ack I get so fired up about this stuff lol 😅
It reminded me of this AI chat thing I used to play with in highschool (late 00s, early 2010s). I forget what it was called but it literally was just cyclical "conversations" where the AI would contradict itself. Glad to see nothing has changed in the last 10-15 years.
I've gotten AI to make music and the only thing I do with it is write the most stupid, juvenile lyrics and get it to make a song that sounds like it has actual production value, and when it works it's like the funniest thing ever. Then I browsed the public libraries of other people's stuff and everyone else is taking it seriously, so it's all just generic noise. I guess it's the difference between using AI as a toy or as a tool, and as a tool it's usually pretty boring.
“I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes”- Joanna Maciejewska
Would you pay the same for an AI art as you would for real art? No one on earth would, AI will never replace artists if people don't value AI art as much. Instead of actual art, AI is mainly used for advertising and other situations where you just want a pleasant picture to look at rather than a handwritten detailed painting
@@qweee3913 thing is we already cant see the difference between one and the other, and AI is only gonna get better. So yoyll have 1 real artist and 9 fske artists using AI, and when youll be trhing to buy real art all 10 of them will claim its real.
or, more likely, so that you can do somebody else's laundry and dishes . . . somebody who works at a company that stole your art and writing to program a robot to make terrible knock-offs of it.
@@xitcix8360 The quote means that AI should do menial dumb labor while humans should be left to use their creativity. I don't get how dumb labor is more difficult than making good art.
We're letting them open Pandora's Box because there's literally no way to stop them. Like seriously, how do you stop people from developing AI? And even if you could, how would you do it in EVERY COUNTY IN THE WORLD? Ban AI here, and all you're doing is giving China a completely monopoly on it
This helps feed into the fear-mongering that was the earliest advertising for AI. Hidden in the message that it is dangerous is the message that it is effective and powerful.
The fact that AI had to leech results from Reddit is already an example of people migrating away from algorithms. The whole reason people added 'reddit' at the end of their google searches in the first place was so that they'd get results from an actual human instead of ad recommendations
Every time I browse Reddit nowadays every few posts has a reply that’s obviously AI. Search engine AI feeding off Reddit reply AI does not sound like a good time. Maybe we should add weird characters like ‽ and ⅖ into posts so AI figures out it can use those characters and start getting even worse
No, we did that because google results suck, when even 10 years they would get you what you actually wanted and not what someone rigged their SEO to put in the first page.
@@acookie7548 I like the idea of everybody deliberately AI poisoning their Reddit posts, maybe we could make a browser plugin that replaces all characters with other Unicode characters that look exactly the same to humans but would result in uncommon or nonexistent tokens
what makes me very sad about AI techbros focusing solely on the end product instead of the process, is not that they dont get it imo, its that they dont care, they care about profit/clout, not art or artistic gratification
I mean. Some of these people literally revel in destroying culture. They get wood over the fact they are potentially destroying the ability of people that put decades into mastering a craft, to earn money from it. Unfortunately, "commercial" art is going to be a dead profession. Designing logo's, branding, UI's, print ads, flyers. That shit is all going to be consumed by AI. I hope there are industries that hold out. Like comic books/animation. Part of the enjoyment of comic books for me is having artists I like, writers I like and getting their books. If it all becomes AI generated, I'm done. Whats the point?
I feel really bad for artists who make hyper realistic art online and get bombarded with so many, "IS THIS AI??" stuff. Such a sad time for artists right now. :(
it sucks for everyone. the real artist and the user wanting to see real art. the artist has their stuff mixed into a flood of ai garbage so no one can find it and the user mostly sees ai garbage so you'll start to get paranoid that every art you see could be ai.
Lets not forget that not AI is the main issue here but shitty people. Of course it sucks for the artist to get drowned in AI content, but it's another issue.
I now want to abandon my dream of being at least a somewhat noteworthy artist so I can inspire others into my hobby or just wow them and make people happy because my art will be turned against me now and everyone I want to make happy and other artists. I’m tired of this nightmarish money-rotted dystopia the world is becoming.
I like the term "Zombie Internet" The uncanny, shambling thing with a false life approaching you isn't a human. It kinda looks like one, it's made from what used to be very human, but it's not. And it wants to consume you

As a virtual pixel artist, people try to copy my work with AI (which I find out about through posts) and I just get a laugh out of how HORRIBLE the outcomes look, yet they call it "art"
“there really is something in how Al art cant get human hands right vs. some of the oldest art we have is our handprints on a wall.” -random tumblr post I saw a couple days ago
I saw that too. It really is beautiful in how human we are, trying to leave our mark and create something that lasts by projecting ourselves on cave walls, versus robots just trying to steal a bunch of art and throw it all together, or trust the first thing it finds on reddit
to be fair, many human artists also struggle with hands if it isn't them tracing their own. For some reason hands are just the bane of drawers, human or otherwise.
I liked most of the video, but I don't quite understand Drew's animosity towards AI generated videos. Unlike art or music models, video models don't steal anything from real artists. I have seen some of the videos featured by OpenAI, and while they were obviously cherry-picked, it still amazed me how their model has improved. You can recall how horrible and unrealistic videos like "Will Smith eating spaghetti" or "Rock eating rocks" were just a year ago, and now we have a car ride that you honestly can't tell from the real video. I really think Drew is being too harsh on a technology that is basically 2 years old, and that is rapidly developing.
@@ebashunegrovai video steals from artists as well, ai cannot generate anything from zero it needs material to do that and steals from videos taken by people that work on different fields, art, documentaries , films, etc, not to mention how unethical this all is as you can basically use private footage of people framing them for crimes, fake evidence or worse, we have already seen the consequences of that with deepfake with women and little girls who’s image and footage was used for revenge p*rn
@@ebashunegrov "The chase continues north in the city! Police helicopters are converging on Avenue 87 and Elm Grove Park!" Granger nodded. "They're faking. You threw them off at the river. They can't admit it. [...] So they're sniffing for a scapegoat to end things with a bang. Watch. They'll catch Montag in the next five minutes!" "But how-" "Watch." The camera, hovering in the belly of a helicopter, now swung down at an empty street. [...] On the screen, a man turned a corner. The Mechanical Hound rushed forward into the viewer, suddenly. [...] A voice cried, "There's Montag! The search is done!" The innocent man stood bewildered [...]. He stared at the Hound, not knowing what it was. [...] The Hound leapt up into the air [...]. Its needle shot out. [...] "Montag, don't move!" said a voice from the sky. The camera fell upon the victim, even as did the Hound. Both reached him simultaneously. The victim was seized by the Hound and the camera in a great spidering, clenched grip. He screamed. He screamed. He screamed! Blackout. Silence. Darkness. Montag cried out in the silence and turned away Silence. And then, after a time of the men sitting around the fire, their faces expressionless, an announce on the darks creen said, "The search is over. Montag is dead; a crime against society has been avenged." Darkness. [...] Granger turned [the viewscreen] off. "They didn't show the man's face in focus. Did you notice? Even your best friends couldn't tell if it was you. They scrambled it just enough to let the imagination take over. Hell," he whispered. "Hell." The above is a heavily abridged snippet from the climax of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. This, to me, is the true worry. AI may seem harmless now, but in what direction is it going? It's going for art now and as much as that sucks for artists, it isn't just artists who should be afraid. Art imitates life, so the better AI gets at mimicking art, the better it gets at mimicking life. We already see those who don't think critically and those on the fringes of society and the fringes of cognition (children and the elderly) being taken in by fraudulent AI images and stories. I've seen faked Joe Rogan podcast snippets and I know you've seen the fake image of the Pope in supposedly some new drip a few years back (the puffy white jacket image). So what happens as that continues to get better? What happens when someone deepfakes *you* doing something heinous? What happens when someone uses AI to create a video of something that "happened" ten years ago that changes history and manufactures a Mandela effect? That's essentially the power to rewrite history. Do you see, now, the true danger we have here? The Fermi paradox is the term for the contradiction between the seemingly high likelihood for the emergence of extraterrestrial intelligence and the lack of evidence for its existence. It has many proposed answers but one of the most popular ones is the Great Filter, the idea that there is some sort of milestone that a civilization has to pass in order to progress on the Kardachev scale and to be detectible. More than likely we have not hit the filter yet, whatever it may be - some think it's becoming a full Type 1 or Type 2 civilization. But what if AI is the filter? What if *this* is what does us in as a species. AI can indeed be a powerful and positive tool if ethically controlled and maintained, but considering our world gov'ts track record, more than likely it will be exploited and weaponized. Truth will get muddled because of AIs potential to overwrite and skew what we know. Art and culture, often all that remains and persists of ancient civilizations, will fade out and die. If you've watched Netflix's 3-Body-Problem, you may be familiar with just how damaging having something continually liquify truth in the field of science can be. All of that is why we should scrutinize and have a natural animosity to AI.
@@GruppeSechsehhhh people won't stop making art though. And it all looks cheap and swirly and the same it has a quality that everyone will notice and they won't want it because it'll look cheap. Like the live laugh love mugs.
This really spoke to me because I thought the same, it made me return to making art and enjoying it again because it feels like AI took the burden of making "productive" art exclusively for profit, i make art to express myself not to sell it
It feels like this “AI” craze is starting to transition from “wow, a computer made this? That’s such a cool novelty” to “this low effort garbage is everywhere and I don’t want to see it ever again”
I think the worst thing I've seen as an AI search result was in response to the search; "I'm feeling homicidal urges," to which Google's machine responded that you should kill a homeless person, as they won't be missed. This whole thing is a nightmare, nobody who hasn't made their entire personality AI wants it anywhere near anything they want to use with any regularity.
That's not really true- PEW research center shows a majority (57%) want AI to help with household chores that are routine or basic online tasks People want selective use, not necessarily abolishment
The worst part is that I'm sure none of the people responsible for all this AI crap actually use it in their daily lives. No one who has the ability to create these kinds of tools would be able to look past the glaring imperfections. It's like how the people who own big social media websites would never let their kids use it. They know exactly what these things are, they see right through it, but it makes them money so it's everyone else's problem now
This is why stop using any spotify or any kind of app to listen music.Just download all the songs you have in ur playlist in ur memory card or phone storage.
There was drama about that forever ago Its chinese smartphone farms liking their own crap to get bigger revenue shares They just replaced crappy commissioned music with AI I guess This is nothing new idk how drew completely flubbed that topic
what's really pissing me off is how much of google image search results are ai generated. recently i was looking for a reference of a japanese police uniform, because I wanted my art to be as accurate as possible. had to dodge dozens of false images of something i wasn't familiar with in the first place. this is so dangerous for people trying to do actual research.
If your a programmer who doesn’t like doing art and needs art for you passion project but can’t afford it you think they should spend hours learning to do what they aren’t passionate about?
@@seigeengine”I’d rather be doing something else with my limited time” like trying to provoke a fight in a UA-cam comments section of a comedy channel?
If you don't have the time to do it then maybe just don't do it? You aren't an artist if you don't create art. You aren't creating art if a program is doing it for you.
UA-cam mid roll and pre roll ads have been taken over the ridiculous AI images and voices, even large companies like MeUndies will use that disgusting smug old man voice
I'm glad someone isn't just saying "It's probably not ethical but you can't deny that its impressive" and turning to the more realistic "this looks like shit"
Most of the people on Character AI are kids, by the way, around the ages of 12-16, typically using it to talk to their favorite characters. Well, "talk".
wait what is charachter ai used for exactly.. i saw someone saying that they were shocked when drew talked about it. WHAT DOES IT DO or actually nvm i think i kinda know
@@EngineerMonkey-zp3yj I'm 23, I use it when I need comfort but don't want to bother my friends or when I feel like talking to a fictional character. Never used it to talk to a "real" person because it feels wrong, I just talk to my comfort characters
@@Elly_Bee_character ai steals from fanfic authors on ao3. they literally profit from work that's available publically for free, which is still incredibly screwed up imo. imagine you spend hours of your time writing a 100k word fanfiction and then some site scrapes your work (and all your friends' works) so that a person can talk to their favorite character on a website. that's messed up
@@ryuuseirune yeah, been a whole thing in the fandom community recently. a lot of people have been locking their works in the hopes it makes ai scraping harder. i dont really care why people use ai, so long as it is stealing art by real people, i dont think engaging with it is right. not when people are this desperate to make sure their hard work stays theirs. not when im one of those people myself.
“It would take me ten years to do that.” “Okay. What’s the rush?” That really hit me. I needed this. AI defenders: please find somewhere else to argue.
there's so much pressure to achieve constantly and to do it at the youngest age humanly possible that it makes you feel like you just shouldn't try at all because you're too late :( i love rebelling against that and taking things at my own pace now
I was there, on Twitter. Some AI image generator users were complaining about other users stealing their prompts. There were users... arguing that one should copyright prompts... so that others don't steal them. My brain is not in shape for these kinds of mental gymnastics.
@@StardustCorvid Most NFTs were algorithmically generated, so the parts that made them up might have been created by humans*, but the final images were most frequently not. (*: later generations were/are not infrequently made from "generative AI" algorithms through and through.)
the way that drew seemed so genuinely angry at the ai video of him is so real and seeing in real time somebody's likeness being taken clearly against their consent makes me feel genuine dread. it's so messed up.
I keep seeing "UA-camr sings!" videos popping up, as well as a court case of a very messed up teacher using an AI voice to get the principal fired so no one would look into him. We're going to see more and more like this too
There are even AI-generated pornographic images and videos of people that exist, even celebrities. I saw an interview with the actress Xochitl Gomez, who was SEVENTEEN at the time, talking about how she's seen content like that made of her and how scary it is that she can't do anything about it. AI stealing people's likeness in general is horrible, especially for pornographic content, and there needs to be legislation, but the sad truth is that the people who have the power to create that legislation probably couldn't even figure out how to download a PDF.
@@5falltv895 my issue isn't that it's being misused to make people think it is real, I just personally believe that you have a right to your likeness and it's a crappy thing to do for somebody to use it in an ai without your consent. even if there's no immediate repercussion it still feels like a personal violation and from the seems of it that's how he felt also.
Claiming that AI has helped you “create art” is like going to McDonalds and ordering a burger and claiming that the employee “helped” you “cook” the burger. You told them what you wanted, and then you got it, but you didn’t make shit.
one of the first arguments against ai art was that its like getting a professional baker to make and decorate a cake for you and then passing it off as your own at a bake sale. you didnt make anything and youre taking credit for someone else's skill and labor
I mean, my library is pretty fun. I like going there anyway. Lets gooo. Like right now they are collaboration with a big museum and they have a REAL dinosaur skelleton on display. For free. In my library. Libraries are cool😌👌
Ah yes let’s bring back the entire thing the internet was trying to replace and go back to the 90s where you had to sift through massive encyclopedias to find any useful information.
@@therealspeedwagon1451 I mean, if the information you're finding online is not useful or accurate, maybe. But many libraries make lists of vetted electronic resources available for all kinds of things.
one thing that was interesting to see was how basically every subreddit quickly banned AI stuff as soon as the generators got popular, mostly not for ideological reasons, but because it’s consistently low-effort garbage that sucks
@@PunishedDadnah, there's really good stuff there, it just never hits the algorithms. Plenty of supportive communities and niche hobbies that were ripped from the regular web and consolidated onto reddit, sadly.
@@breannathompson9094yes! reddit is the go to place if you have a very specific issue. more than likely some tandom person on there 10 years ago had the same issues and in the commenst are the solutions. reddit is a godsend website- aside from the furry weeb cukture it propetuates.
@@issnotgenFRRR, which is why it’s so stupid that the ppl arguing in favor of AI are always like “oh but AI content is going to be so much better than human content ever could be” because the truth is, I don’t actually care if AI is better, I just want HUMAN-MADE CONTENT
Adobe Stock is genuinely awful. As a casual artist, when I need a reference photo of a REAL animal, it's really annoying to see their gross AI images show up at the top of the search results.
This got me wondering about the fact that all AI generated images are copyright free? So…how are they charging for something that doesn’t belong to anybody? Why not just nick it from adobe? (I tried googling the facts here, but had already forgotten that google’s now just a game of boggle with every word previously typed online and am too hungry to delve deeper)
The best advice i can offer people now is to use the library. Yes it requires more effort and much much more time, but, for now at least, older print media may be our only source of trustworthy images
This has been my exact issue. At least it's less bad with the more obscure animals, but it's really frustrating when you just want a decent reference image and it's all just garbage. Why would I want some wonky looking ai amalgamation when looking up 'grizzly bear photography'? it's a mess.
It’s just bloating the internet man. It doesn’t help that people WILLINGLY use text to speech nowadays, so it’s hard to actually tell if some TikTok is a random guy or some fucking AI.
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs Plus media literacy and critical thinking seems to be down the gutter. People think it's only old people that get scammed so easily but younger generations are so easily fooled by stuff like this (maybe not the art, lol).

I'm genuinely scared for future generations raised on all this BS tbh
recently went to a Gale Ann Hurd Q&A where she was talking about how much she can't stand AI. ironic that people ignore the movie that screamed issues with ai at us lfmao
My father is trying to learn to cook better, and has been asking AI for recipes. They’re often terrible, over or undercooked, and he refuses to try other recipes. The most frustrating part of this is that I am a professional chef in a fine dining restaurant. I can create recipes for him. I’ve asked him if he needs recipes, and he’s said he has them, and then they’re made by AI. He’s not a bad cook, he follows all the instructions, but the instructions are flawed, and he doesn’t understand that.
Wow that's dark. Sounds like the root issue (except for the AI itself) is that your dad, for whatever reason, rejects human content. Seriously, it's not a normal reaction to refuse recipes that work in favor of AI recipes that don't work...
The rise of ai on pinterest genuinely hurts me. I love to crochet so I usually turn to pinterest of inspiration and jfc it’s filled with ai generated pictures of crocheted animals and clothes. It’s so obviously fake too, the stitches make zero sense. It’s such an insult to all crochet artists :/
YES i've seen others talk about this and it's extremely predatory especially to beginners who are just learning and looking for projects to try out. i'm getting back into crochet after years of not doing it, and it's sad how much more cross-reference i have to do with patterns. and pattern makers need even more testers who are public figures in the community just to prove that their patterns are legit. when i was first getting into crochet i could go online, find a free pattern and print it off without worrying whether i was being scammed by something ai-generated
I've had the same problem trying to find interior design inspiration on Pinterest lately. It's all the most bizarre AI nonsense where half the furniture / items in the house are impossible structures that make no sense and serve no purpose. It seems to think that everyone feels their house with needless clutter, or even so many plants that it's basically a jungle. It makes it basically impossible to use it as any kind of inspiration or starting point for a space that just so happens to actually exist in the physical realm.
@@jeezdutsyes, just today I was looking for interior design photos which I’ve used for years as ideas and inspiration, and it was literally AI photo after AI photo of bedrooms full of stuff, clutter and unidentifiable objects.
Same!I feel bad for new crochet artists who see something ai created and feel bad because they can’t do it when in reality it’s physically impossible to do it
I'm a pastry chef. We've started to get people coming in with AI generated pictures of cakes asking for us to recreate them. Spoiler alert we can't. And then they get mad at US for false advertising our abilities. Like ma'am, you're showing me a picture on your facebook feed from a profile just titled Cakes. WE DID NOT POST THE PICTURE. NOBODY DID.
This part of it all scares me because it makes me wonder if AI itself isn't really the threat, it's that people are actually dumb enough to be fooled by it in its current, very primitive state...
@@jeezduts You _wonder_ that? That's always been The Threat. To Everything. AI is just making it more obvious. Every day-ever since the internet became widespread-new depths of the gap, between the gullible and the intelligent, are discovered. Making it harder to ignore. But the _really_ scary thing is that the gullible breed at a higher rate, and the malleable spawn are abandoned, left to ferment into fools. Because manipulative buttcocks have a taste for *_mold._*
That's a lie. Of course he understands. Because money. And because plenty of people want to "make" something, but don't want to have to put in ten years to TRY to get good enough to simply have sufficient skill at making something, let alone marketing it to enough people ("if you GET LUCKY, people might actually see it!") for them to see it.
@@Ilyak1986 I believe this line in context was referring to the phenomenon of AI creating incredibly similar stock photos that already exist. So like...if you needed a photo of a horse, why do we need to replace the zillions of real photos of horses on google images with an AI photo of a horse that is probably worse. Hyper specific phenomenon that isn't actually adding up to any saved dollars and cents, it's just weird and unnecessary.
@@matthewmcguire5564 ah, in that case, sure. Could be for people trying to get the AI to make a better stock horse photo, or another stock horse photo. That leaves me scratching my head myself.
AI users calling themselves artists is functionally the same as commissioning an artist and saying you made the end product because you described what you wanted.
Except that the AI is infinitely more efficient than the Artist. Talk about AI is a waste of energy and water, that artist would drink up to two liters a day for what takes the AI just milliliters
@@food7479 Maybe but the artist is still a living human, with right to live. AI is just some robot people made for money. I would rather give an artist a 1000 Dollars than AI a single one.
@@food7479 Buddy, our power grid is only now being overloaded. Because of AI. If your dumb point was accurate all the artists in the world would have overloaded the grid already. But they haven't. Because AI is far less efficient
You can sell something that's not protected by copyright, it's just that someone else can also take that thing and sell it too. Or give it away for free with zero repercussion. In other words, stealing AI art isn't theft. :3
I feel like I'm constantly loosing interest in online stuff just because of how predatory things are becoming. Comment sections are flooded with bots or really mean people (like why?), and everything looks like a scam subscription to make me waste my money. Even the normal softwares are getting obnoxious
I'd be more afraid of over-friendly people in comments. How often did it hapen to you in your daily real life that some stranger on the street came up to you, told out a bunch of compliments (considering you are a male, and we don't get one for decades) and then pushed few hundred buckes in your pocket? Yeah, to me neither. Bots. Mean people are real. Always have been. And normal people are getting only more angry of how things are going on currently, tho.
You'd be better off keeping to yourself with how the internet and its culture is evolving (or devolving). Gives ya more time to worry about youself and solve your own problems rather than put mental and emotional energy into something that may be real or just another scam or story made up for attention.
@@finelessI try and be genuinely kind to everyone to the point where people think I’m disingenuous or a bot online… I’m just a really nice person because I want to be.

I just want to make people happy and be happy man… I’ve been through a lot so I’d rather not add my pain to the world already full of too much. Its also extremely easy to be nice. Why not?
People claiming that entering a prompt means they're an artist is like paying for a commission from an actual artist and then claiming that as your own work
Difference being, the art isnt art any more than the technology itself may be. Its bot too bad fir visualizing concept work or note keeping, but its absolutely horrible at anything actually creative. It really illustrates the difference between genesis and genius.
Yeah I don't care how many hours they spend on typing prompts, they're still not doing the bulk of learning that any artists go through to get good: colour theory, lighting, anatomy, shading, etc. "I'm not talented". Yeah, a shit ton of good artists were never talented in the first place, becoming an artist takes hard work, not just un-earned talents.
@@pong9000It’s understood that they didn’t do it themselves though especially if their guests know they suck at DIY projects. Not a great comparison for AI art as making art to the general public is some mysterious ritual that they don’t have the discernment to call out when it’s fake.
I really hope this AI thing is all just a fad or a trend. Even the creator of ChatGPT himself has said that he’s terrified of what his own AI can do and that he desperately wants governments to regulate AI. It’s not everyday where you have companies desperately pleading to be regulated. I just wish that AI could be banned outright, or at least have a switch somewhere in settings to turn it off and even if it’s on it says very clearly that it’s artificial or synthetic content.
One thing that really pissed me off about AI, Pokemon held this art competition with 3 image submission limit, and the results ended with 6 ai images taking up winning spots all by the same guy just with slightly different enough names. 6 real, different artists could've had one spot each, but ALL SIX of those winning AI photos were all taken buy one guy and his little robot thief with grimmy little hands Edit: Apparently the images were disqualified! Thank god! And thank you to the people who let me know! But I'm still pissed he was able to win before pokemon disqualified the images Second edit: Please, politely, shut up. I don't care how convinced you ai bros are, ai "art" is stealing, it's easy as balls, and shouldn't belong in a fucking art contest. You have your fucking ai image contests, you don't need to get your grimey fucking hands on the actual talent it takes to make art.
there was also an ai art competition and the winning image was an actual photograph taken by an actual man with an actual camera. he said he hopes the audience wont be upset about being deceived, considering thats exactly what ai does. edit: *A winning image, i looked at the article it was 3rd place and got the peoples choice award. the photographer, Miles Astray was then disqualified
something i saw recently was along the lines of "i want ai to do work so i can focus on art, not for ai to do art so i can focus on work" and i think that really encapsulates a lot of what i think about ai edit: this comment got more attention than i thought, idk, the most important thing i think i can say is that you should enjoy and invest in things that people create that you enjoy, especially when they create passionately. art is such an extremely human trait, it should be experienced at a human level.
@dogteeeth someone made that a tweet on x. only she used "washing dishes and do laundry" in place of your word 'work' Otherwise, it is the exact same wording as yours. She got tons of likes and re-tweets ( or maybe should be called re-X's 🤣 )
that's the fun part about humanity right now. Its ran ENTIRELY by billionaires that want even more money. It has become virtually impossible for advancements in technology to help the average person. It is almost certain that every new invention for the rest of human history will be bought out and designed with the SOLE PURPOSE of making everyone else work more and enjoy life less, so that the billionaires can continue stealing everything and using the entire world for themselves.
Right like I’ve used chatgpt to help me write cover letters for job applications because I have such a hard time with that sort of thing. Of course I went in and tweaked it but it can be such a useful tool it’s just too bad we have to ruin everything
I dont think enough people are giving Drew credit for basically doing investigative journalism. He has pivoted to making actual video essays rather than just commentary and I like it a lot. Drew is too smart to be relegated to just talking about Team10. Although we love those videos too lol
This content is why I enjoy drew more than other similar creators that I used to love back in the day. I’m sorry but I can only watch so many Reality TV reaction videos
idk why ai was made and immediately used to do artistic things. Robots are supposed to make life easier, not take away the few joys we have access to. Make ai clean the trash out of the ocean or something idk
The AI was made to do these things first because they are the easiest thing to do. Robots have been making people's life easier for decades now. You don't have to do laundry, dishes, lawn mowing, mopping or vaccuuming anymore unless you are petty enough to count the one minute it takes to load and unload things from the machines or to empty the roomba...
AI was "immediately" made to do artistic things... AFTER it was first used to do the following: - Voice recognition to help those who can't type - Audio Transcription to help those who can't hear or can't easily understand voices - Diarization to improve the above - Translation to help people communicate across the world - Image classification - Facial recognition - Content moderation to vastly (but imperfectly) reduce the amount of spam, adult, and absolutely vile content that you see - Optical Character Recognition to allow us to convert huge amounts of our history into digital form where it can be preserved - Voice synthesis to help those who can't see - Detect fraudulent transactions to prevent people who steal your card information from impersonating you as successfully - Analyze and classify tumors, neurological disorders and bone fractures
People who use AI and call themselves artists it's about the same as me using a microwave to heat up a frozen dinner and calling myself a chef. Nice video
You can still get a yummy microwave dish without calling yourself anything. Which is what 99% of people do. The straw 1% he whines about are his fellow wannabe artists.
No one is using AI and calling themselves an artist, instead they're using it in advertisements and other situations where the only alternative is either paying someone 200 dollars to create art or getting a stock image
@@qweee3913no you’re wrong my friend Tony thinks he’s an AI artist and I tried to explain that he’s not and he said that the AI is doing exactly what humans do and he’s making it do that and so he’s doing it.
Microwaves are fucking great though. Imagine some houswife from 1700s traveling to our time and complaining modern kitchen appliances are from the devil because preparing dinner should be a full-time job.
Fun fact: there was an actual study about the efficacy of parachutes compared to normal backpacks when jumping from a plane. It found no difference at all. Though, it has to be remarked that, for ethical reasons, they could only perform this test with the plane standing still on the ground. It's also notable that this paper was published on april 1st. Obviously, this context was completely overlooked by the AI.
i mean, a closed parachute and a normal backpack probably are pretty similar anyways. if the parachute doesn't open, they'd certainly serve the same purpose
It did mention that the study was on planes "within a few feet above the ground" at the very end if you look at it, but it still blatantly misunderstood the question.

Honestly. As an avid music lover, I don't like the radio (revolutionary statement, I know) but I have found my good shit: power metal and symphonic metal. Those genres are so good. If you cannot find good music these days you're doing something wrong. My favorite band has to be Beyond the Black, the emotion in their songs is so good.
@@pigeontoes5421 no it’s not incorrect. People engage in hate because it feels rewarding in some way, otherwise they wouldn’t do it. Humans don’t do things they don’t doesn’t gives them a sense of reward. It’s the basic function of evolution, every human behavior is driven by feelings, punishment and reward, things that feel punishing we don’t do, and things that feel rewarding we continue doing. Sadness and pain are punishments because it’s a result of behaviors that doesn’t benefit reproduction or survival. Happiness and fulfillment is rewarding because it’s a result of behaviors that benefit reproduction and evolution. Hate can feel rewarding in many different ways, it could make someone feel superior, powerful, and often includes social interaction in some form.
Pinterest has become unbearable due to ai. I'll search something on there and sometimes all the search results will be bad ai images. It's literally impossible to escape ai because it's on every app.
i use pinterest regularly (like, regular REGULAR) and im thankful that i never once encountered any AI contents, even if i did it wouldve been memes and / or ironic posts
As a writer, it honestly disgusts me that people r showing up in writers groups pushing AI and saying that real writers r a dying breed. Meanwhile agents and lit mags are putting out statements that they refuse to accept AI written manuscripts. Then again, kindle is being inundated with that crap.
Considering this video includes two examplex of people straight up using Drew's image without his knowledge and against his consent, I don't think it was angry enough. How tf did we get to a place where this is acceptable.
Why would he be angry at people for using his image? If he did not want people on the internet to use his image then why would he upload it to the internet?
@ville__ Wow that's a very intelligent and responsible rebuttle that makes your side of this discussion seem very dredible and not at all like butthurt children disproportionately defending their favourite youtuber

@@sumkin capitalism is far from AI. Its the best system man not AI has came up with to allow as many people as possible to grow and make a living. I take it your young and potentially unemployed. you will understand in time skywalker. Good luck making a living off art without capitalism. Travel around the world grow a little and check out other systems at work . . . . . . well wishes
AI is also ruining books too. There are so many books now that are written by AI that it's almost pointless to even buy an ebook. Especially on Amazon! People buy the tools to create like 50-100 AI written books in one week and sell them through Amazon and needless to say, the books are soulless and crappy. I grew up loving to read from a young age and now books are going the way of the internet. It's bleeding into printed, physical books too. It's easy to print out hundreds of AI written books a day and sell them. This world is going down a dark rabbit hole.
I think the real nail in the coffin for AI is that it looks cheap. Not the art itself, but the fact that a business using AI generated 'art' sends the message to customers and investors that it doesn't have the capital to pay a human being to create for them.
@@naesala Exactly. It's like yeah, you can technically show that you've "created" a product for your brand/company, but now I have zero faith in your business' ability to deliver anything real
I hate, hate, HATE how pinterest is chalk full of AI now. Whenever I search up art, I immediately get met with ai art... like, that's not what I was trying to find? This is a very poorly written rant but ohmygod it takes me so long to actually find something I like and not the same 30 pictures generated by the same prompts
AI does not democratize art, free, open-source software like Blender does. Before Blender was a thing, the only way you could make quality 3D animations and renders was expensive software that costs thousands of dollars, but after Blender basically anyone could do it for free. We need more stuff like Blender and less AI.
someone once defended ai art to me saying 'I don't have the money to invest to learn art ai is helpful to me you're just privelaged' like my brother in christ I STARTED DRAWING on my NOTEBOOK IN CLASS during NOTES, it literally doesn't get more accessible than that
@@seigeengineno, people who are too lazy, insecure in their skills, and apathetic to the creativity and history of humankind that is found in art, are the problem. it's easy to now that ai isn't a problem. but wait until there isn't a shred of humanity left in the world, for better or worse. no, im not fear mongering. it's already happening right in front of u. you're willing to be ok with ceo's and billionaires replacing human ingenuity and the essence of our creativity? for what? a measly ai drawing anyone could do. ok with individuals excusing their own inept behavior and excuses ? i truly wonder why the rich and lazy people are so quick to replace one of the few things that we do so well. people look down on ai "artists" bc they have no true respect for the craft. for the thousands of years it was built on. the human history. it's not just pretty things to look at, it's revolutionary and tells us our history. it can insight change and send a message. why are people so apathetic to that? ai "artists" will never understand the joy of honing your craft to make something beautiful and sharing that with others. so sad 😭 there's no beauty in something that takes 5 mins to work on. like fast food. it's cheap and accesible, but doesn't mean anything compared to home cooked meals with ur family. doesn't beat waking up early to make something that's meaningful and delicious. that you spent hours working on. u can take the easy way, but will there be true satisfaction in it 🤔 yeah IDC if you read all of this thank u 😭
@@seigeengine Ah, yes. Because the person who actually has a developed skill is the insecure one and not the techbros cosplaying as something other than a drain on society.
@Wote89 how are ai artists insecure? They type words and get pictures out of it. Normal artists are the ones losing their minds over it. Literally the entire discussion surrounding ai art started because people are insecure about being replaced
@@therealstemarman2846would that not scare you? The possibility of being replaced by some robot created to do your job better than you? Actual artists have a right to be mad.
AI bros are so pathetically jealous of anyone creative they will steal and leech and defend it constantly. Artists deserve a living wage and a huge part of that is not having our work stolen. Support the alternative - commission your favourite artist, stream indie musicians or just repost their work on socials but make a point of supporting real creators and hitting a hard block on AI content.
@@SDLXVITell me you have no respect for people in the creative industry without telling me you have no respect for people in the creativity industry. Incredibly distasteful. Do better.
@@SDLXVI It takes a lot of work to make the media we consume. Music takes years and years of consistent work to learn for example. That work then entertains millions of people. That entertainment is a product and the person who made it should be paid for it. How is that hard to understand?
"You guys remember when they told us AI was going to do all the menial labor and let us have the arts to do with all our free time? Now the machines are making all the art and the essential workers are still working themselves to death in three jobs..." I think about that sentiment a lot when this stuff comes up.

in 1997 or around there, the goverment of Canada made a commercial about a house hippo. The Hippo looked real and the commercial could fool you into thinking house hippos were real. and then it said: Don't believe everything you see on television. Never seen a commercial age so well for the internet
At first I was scared to lose my job since, I'm an artist; it was so much scarier to realize it wasn't just my job that was fucked but the internet as a whole
Actually the people who commission for AI stuff would've never commissioned you in the first place, I was worried at first too but then realized those who pay for art would never pay for generated images.
the entire media industry is toast what else would you expect when by posting their content on the internet and allowing big tech to forbid it's use by anyone only so they could deep learn data train on it to resell that to others "not stealing" "not copyright infrigement" as long as it's them that do it...when Shazam which was already worked behind the scenes a decade earlier but you had to call a phone line to identify tracks when shazam became a thing we all tought it was super cool how wrong we were it became a tool to distribute stars....yellow stars
It’s weird that we’ve heard of people going to jail for forging paintings and selling them (something that is still a lot of work despite the intrinsic thievery of it), yet it’s legal to completely steal the entire history of hundreds of thousands of artists and produce derivative work with zero effort at all.
Yeah forgery is only illegal if you try to sell it as authentic. It is also actually more difficult than the original was in most cases. The AI thing is a big problem.
it's cuz the monetary value of art is in the provenance, not the beauty. to me it's kinda similar to how human deaths don't often spark wars, but destruction of or theft of property often does.

Crazy how my parents would constantly tell me to not believe everything I see on the internet a couple years ago. Now they believe literally every AI post they see on Facebook and it makes me sad
Not just on Facebook it’s literally everywhere even the news! They seem to believe it all and don’t think to do 1 minute of research. Nope, they hear it and eat it up then spew their beliefs and use their age to claim they’re correct.
I feel like I need to have a sit-down talk with my parents about how to spot AI-generated images on facebook so they don't get fooled. I'm worried about them.
I cannot STAND the "accessibility" argument that AI bros use all the time. I grew up poor and without internet access till I was 13, and I drew pictures using cheap shit like printer paper, crayola brand materials, number 2 pencils, and even CARDBOARD as a canvas. I literally used whatever bc I loved drawing so much. Now that I'm an adult, I can afford an iPad, art software, and I have a 4.0 GPA at a prestigious art college with scholarships. Literally anyone can make anything WITH ANYTHING! Also, there have been numerous disabled, poor, or blind artists throughout history. Saying AI is "accessible" is a slap in the face to the hard work of disabled or poor artists.
It also makes no sense either because youre not making anything when you use ai. Its no more "creating art" than getting a picture someone else made from google images. Ironically, the workarounds people with limited accessibility use to create art is typically what makes the art hold more value (from an intrinsic standpoint, not a monetary standpoint)
Literally the way we have art now only exist because people before couldn't access other types so they Made Their Own. Innovation doesn't come from every aspect of your existence being catered to, it comes from needing to and working to get it, putting thought and care which puts so much more meaning into the end result Can't think outside the box if you live in one that has everything you'd want so you don't have to even think of leaving
You tellin' me. I agree so much, I also grew up in poverty that making art was a rare, precious escape from our harsh reality. The act of creating art was my sanctuary. I used anything I could find-old newspapers, cereal boxes, and flattened tissues-to draw. Charcoal from burnt wood often had to serve as my pencil, and if I was lucky, I'd find a half-broken crayon to add a pop of color. My determination to create art was relentless, often sketching in the dirt outside or using our walls as a canvas, knowing they could be washed away by the rain. I despise the AI bros who don't know what real struggle is. They use us and our stories to sell their junk!
I think there's a genuine argument to be made to justify AI as accessibility, but NOT for making art. It's accessibility for making a product and that's the part we desperately need to separate. Too many people I know, both pro-ai and anti-ai, genuinely see art and products as the same thing and they've never even considered what it means to MAKE art. It's making the darkest forms of greed and waste more accessible to those who are most desperate which is just deeply depressing to me as a disabled person myself.
Not to mention that there are tons of artists who made art without their hands. They used their mouth or their feet. I saw a whole tumblr thread on it.
A while back, I came up with, in the middle of a conversation: "You can't complain of the smell if you choose to keep wading through a sewer." Doesn't really roll off the tongue as well, but it's the same principle.
absolute fire video, I work in a web design agency and the way 99% of the staff talk about genAI is horrifying, they really cant wait to replace themselves with machines
There's just something utterly depressing about AI. Automating shitty repetitive tasks is fine, but what's with this craze to automate literally every meaningful and creative thing a human can do? Is the ultimate life goal to just sit on your coach and get wasted all day? Where is this heading?
I work in tech and joined just before the boom. Last job I was surrounded by NFTs bitcoin and metaverse grift. I miss those days tbh... this is far more depressing. There's literally nothing else being talked about or improved on. What happens when it crashes? The org visited a school to hype ai to them, and all the art kids at the back gravitated to me (I was doodling), and expressed a genuine fear and sadness about their futures before they even start. I couldn't say anything except that I felt their pain. 26 years of hard work made worth even less in an already ruthless underpaying market. It's hard to find hope... is there any?
I work as a designer for a rich media agency and I've seen it a lot too. Also, the way they believe our work gets immediately easier if we start to implement AI tools - the reality is that AI sometimes just makes it harder because of the horrible results it drops, lol
Wow, Drew Gooden, this video was absolutely fantastic! Your insights are spot-on and your delivery is hilarious. Can't wait for more content like this!

I am 44 years old and I grew up along with the internet literally. I still do not understand exactly when people went from, don't believe anything on the internet cause its the internet. To OMG it's more real then real life and I will die to defend it.
Right!!! And the “well google says this dadada” like even GOOGLE PRE-AI wasnt the best source of information if you dont know how to research your sources.
I mean I don’t think that’s necessarily the same group of people. Imo, people who are engaging with AI are mostly duped people ignorant that it’s AI (and therefore not a demographic who ever internalized “don’t believe the internet”) or greedy opportunists looking to dupe people. In which case their philosophy is “go ahead and believe everything you see on the internet so I can exploit your dumb ass.” The other group of people, who say it’s the greatest most beautiful future for all mankind or whatever, are a negligible minority of basement dwelling contrarians and hopefully will remain that way. But who knows.
That's actually a really interesting point because it's really hard to pin exactly when it happened. I feel like it had to be a generational shift, which is I guess a little comforting, because kids growing up during this stage aren't going to believe a thing anywhere from anyone. Hopefully.
Well the issue is philosophy isn't mandatory. And thats where you are basically taught to think critically when reading ect. The internet just requires the same skepticism as newspapers to navigate. And the moment we stopped teaching kids about editorial narrative and trying to read between the lines. Was the moment people stopped needing it
Obviously this video is amazing. I think this is one of the best videos Drew’s ever made and it’s full of fantastic profound arguments against AI, however the ai extended road work ahead clip is one of the funnest things I’ve ever seen
I didn't believe in human soul until I saw "art" created by AI. I thought corporate music, stock photos and footage and direct to video films were soulless, but all of those things have so much more soul than anything AI has ever created.
that mannequin idea actually sounds like a sick idea for a short story like i cannot think of anything more horrifying than a decrepit old mall with half-rotted plastic mannequins constantly repeating the same phrases
I saw a Twitter post saying something along the lines of “AI art convinced me of the existence of the human soul because I’ve seen what art looks like without it” and…yeah, that about sums it up.

That's what a bot would say.
The single most damning question about "AI" that I've seen is "Why would I want to read a book that nobody bothered to write?". It perfectly applies to all creative arts in relation to AI, and you've pretty much nailed it here.
this is so real
That's what I'm starting to ask and they have no answer to it. Their goal is to be the ones producing AI slop while the rest consume it and pay for it but they dont realize NO ONE wants to do that and not even them. They are ruining it for us all the nerd fucks.
i think it’s more useful for brainstorming and editing writing but not doing the entire thing
exactly. when i read im paying attention to the authors literary voice and how they word things, how the narrator views the world and how it effects their decision making and dialogue. all that stuff is nonexistent with AI because it’s all taken from existing works. i’ll just read the existing work
Why would I want to read a book that nobody bothered to write? so you won't read Helen Keller's book cause she didn't write that
Drew casually dropping bangers like "How are you ever gonna do something for ten years if you won't even do it for one day?" like it's no big deal
hes so poetic at times lol
he kinda socrates with it

According to copilot, that's a quote from confuscious
I ask myself that all the time lol.. I guess I just never put it into words
As a disabled artist, I’ve seen streamers modify their controllers to play with an amputated hand, artists with tremors who put a tennis ball on their ones, artists who learnt to draw using their feet. Ai does not help these individuals, adapting and overcoming does!
If they really cared about disabled people (such as myself) it would be way more helpful to fund research into conditions with little known about them, like my own fibromyalgia. The number one reason I will not practice or create anything is because of my chronic fatigue.
@@Lightning_bugsexactly! How about instead of spending millions of dollars on an AI that rips the creative freedom people with disabilities ARE capable of, you donate millions of dollars to funding research on the disabilities themselves or to programs that work to help disabled people be able to create for themselves in the first place?!
@@Lightning_bugsapologies, both the beauty of creation through humans and disability representation are things I’m highly passionate and get fire up about.
I worked with students with disabilities when I was in high school. I often worked on creative things with them. We had a student with an extreme case of cerebral palsy. He can’t walk or talk on his own and his cognitive functions were impacted due to complications at birth. He was still such a happy person and I loved spending time with him. Fine motor control was hard for him, but I’d often join him in hand/ finger painting. I’d paint his hands different colors and I’d paint my own and we’d have fun putting color on paper. He loved this so much that he would jump with excitement in his wheelchair when the paint was brought out and he realized what we were about to do. We also did “paint balls” where he could pick up a ball dipped in paint and push it across a large paper and roll it and make some really cool abstract art. The most dangerous thing we let him do was hold a paintbrush and splatter on paper (dangerous in that we gave it to him and ran to avoid getting paint splatters on us lol). He loved creating those things. And AI would take away the innately human marks he made with his own hands and mind. He could point to the colors he wanted and liked. He would tell us when he thought he was done and satisfied with what he made by giving us a certain look or just setting the tool we gave him down. I’d hate for some dumb AI to come in and replace his joy of making art on his own, even if it’s not conventional art. Ack I get so fired up about this stuff lol 😅
Nobody [in a position of power] wants people adapting, and especially not overcoming.

I've gotten AI to make music and the only thing I do with it is write the most stupid, juvenile lyrics and get it to make a song that sounds like it has actual production value, and when it works it's like the funniest thing ever. Then I browsed the public libraries of other people's stuff and everyone else is taking it seriously, so it's all just generic noise. I guess it's the difference between using AI as a toy or as a tool, and as a tool it's usually pretty boring.

This helps feed into the fear-mongering that was the earliest advertising for AI. Hidden in the message that it is dangerous is the message that it is effective and powerful.
The fact that AI had to leech results from Reddit is already an example of people migrating away from algorithms. The whole reason people added 'reddit' at the end of their google searches in the first place was so that they'd get results from an actual human instead of ad recommendations
Every time I browse Reddit nowadays every few posts has a reply that’s obviously AI. Search engine AI feeding off Reddit reply AI does not sound like a good time. Maybe we should add weird characters like ‽ and ⅖ into posts so AI figures out it can use those characters and start getting even worse
No, we did that because google results suck, when even 10 years they would get you what you actually wanted and not what someone rigged their SEO to put in the first page.
@@acookie7548 I like the idea of everybody deliberately AI poisoning their Reddit posts, maybe we could make a browser plugin that replaces all characters with other Unicode characters that look exactly the same to humans but would result in uncommon or nonexistent tokens

what makes me very sad about AI techbros focusing solely on the end product instead of the process, is not that they dont get it imo, its that they dont care, they care about profit/clout, not art or artistic gratification
I mean. Some of these people literally revel in destroying culture. They get wood over the fact they are potentially destroying the ability of people that put decades into mastering a craft, to earn money from it.
Unfortunately, "commercial" art is going to be a dead profession. Designing logo's, branding, UI's, print ads, flyers. That shit is all going to be consumed by AI.
I hope there are industries that hold out. Like comic books/animation. Part of the enjoyment of comic books for me is having artists I like, writers I like and getting their books. If it all becomes AI generated, I'm done. Whats the point?
I feel really bad for artists who make hyper realistic art online and get bombarded with so many, "IS THIS AI??" stuff. Such a sad time for artists right now. :(
it sucks for everyone. the real artist and the user wanting to see real art.
the artist has their stuff mixed into a flood of ai garbage so no one can find it
and the user mostly sees ai garbage so you'll start to get paranoid that every art you see could be ai.
Lets not forget that not AI is the main issue here but shitty people. Of course it sucks for the artist to get drowned in AI content, but it's another issue.
I now want to abandon my dream of being at least a somewhat noteworthy artist so I can inspire others into my hobby or just wow them and make people happy because my art will be turned against me now and everyone I want to make happy and other artists.

I liked most of the video, but I don't quite understand Drew's animosity towards AI generated videos. Unlike art or music models, video models don't steal anything from real artists. I have seen some of the videos featured by OpenAI, and while they were obviously cherry-picked, it still amazed me how their model has improved. You can recall how horrible and unrealistic videos like "Will Smith eating spaghetti" or "Rock eating rocks" were just a year ago, and now we have a car ride that you honestly can't tell from the real video.

The above is a heavily abridged snippet from the climax of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. This, to me, is the true worry. AI may seem harmless now, but in what direction is it going? It's going for art now and as much as that sucks for artists, it isn't just artists who should be afraid. Art imitates life, so the better AI gets at mimicking art, the better it gets at mimicking life. We already see those who don't think critically and those on the fringes of society and the fringes of cognition (children and the elderly) being taken in by fraudulent AI images and stories. I've seen faked Joe Rogan podcast snippets and I know you've seen the fake image of the Pope in supposedly some new drip a few years back (the puffy white jacket image). So what happens as that continues to get better? What happens when someone deepfakes *you* doing something heinous? What happens when someone uses AI to create a video of something that "happened" ten years ago that changes history and manufactures a Mandela effect? That's essentially the power to rewrite history. Do you see, now, the true danger we have here?
The Fermi paradox is the term for the contradiction between the seemingly high likelihood for the emergence of extraterrestrial intelligence and the lack of evidence for its existence. It has many proposed answers but one of the most popular ones is the Great Filter, the idea that there is some sort of milestone that a civilization has to pass in order to progress on the Kardachev scale and to be detectible. More than likely we have not hit the filter yet, whatever it may be - some think it's becoming a full Type 1 or Type 2 civilization. But what if AI is the filter? What if *this* is what does us in as a species. AI can indeed be a powerful and positive tool if ethically controlled and maintained, but considering our world gov'ts track record, more than likely it will be exploited and weaponized. Truth will get muddled because of AIs potential to overwrite and skew what we know. Art and culture, often all that remains and persists of ancient civilizations, will fade out and die. If you've watched Netflix's 3-Body-Problem, you may be familiar with just how damaging having something continually liquify truth in the field of science can be.
All of that is why we should scrutinize and have a natural animosity to AI.

That's a lie. Of course he understands. Because money. And because plenty of people want to "make" something, but don't want to have to put in ten years to TRY to get good enough to simply have sufficient skill at making something, let alone marketing it to enough people ("if you GET LUCKY, people might actually see it!") for them to see it.
@@Ilyak1986 I believe this line in context was referring to the phenomenon of AI creating incredibly similar stock photos that already exist. So like...if you needed a photo of a horse, why do we need to replace the zillions of real photos of horses on google images with an AI photo of a horse that is probably worse.
Hyper specific phenomenon that isn't actually adding up to any saved dollars and cents, it's just weird and unnecessary.
@@matthewmcguire5564 ah, in that case, sure. Could be for people trying to get the AI to make a better stock horse photo, or another stock horse photo. That leaves me scratching my head myself.
AI users calling themselves artists is functionally the same as commissioning an artist and saying you made the end product because you described what you wanted.
Except that the AI is infinitely more efficient than the Artist. Talk about AI is a waste of energy and water, that artist would drink up to two liters a day for what takes the AI just milliliters

You can sell something that's not protected by copyright, it's just that someone else can also take that thing and sell it too. Or give it away for free with zero repercussion.
In other words, stealing AI art isn't theft. :3
I feel like I'm constantly loosing interest in online stuff just because of how predatory things are becoming. Comment sections are flooded with bots or really mean people (like why?), and everything looks like a scam subscription to make me waste my money. Even the normal softwares are getting obnoxious
I feel the same. I've quit a lot of the social media I used to use frequently because of toxicity
I'd be more afraid of over-friendly people in comments. How often did it hapen to you in your daily real life that some stranger on the street came up to you, told out a bunch of compliments (considering you are a male, and we don't get one for decades) and then pushed few hundred buckes in your pocket? Yeah, to me neither. Bots.
Mean people are real. Always have been. And normal people are getting only more angry of how things are going on currently, tho.
You'd be better off keeping to yourself with how the internet and its culture is evolving (or devolving). Gives ya more time to worry about youself and solve your own problems rather than put mental and emotional energy into something that may be real or just another scam or story made up for attention.

People claiming that entering a prompt means they're an artist is like paying for a commission from an actual artist and then claiming that as your own work
Plenty of homeowners talk of how they expanded their kitchen and how they built the carport and re-paved the patio, to the barbecue guests.
@pong9000
There's a difference between "I repaved the driveway" and "I had the driveway repaved." One of them would be a lie, even in your scenario.
Difference being, the art isnt art any more than the technology itself may be.
Its bot too bad fir visualizing concept work or note keeping, but its absolutely horrible at anything actually creative. It really illustrates the difference between genesis and genius.
Yeah I don't care how many hours they spend on typing prompts, they're still not doing the bulk of learning that any artists go through to get good: colour theory, lighting, anatomy, shading, etc. "I'm not talented". Yeah, a shit ton of good artists were never talented in the first place, becoming an artist takes hard work, not just un-earned talents.
@@pong9000It’s understood that they didn’t do it themselves though especially if their guests know they suck at DIY projects. Not a great comparison for AI art as making art to the general public is some mysterious ritual that they don’t have the discernment to call out when it’s fake.
I really hope this AI thing is all just a fad or a trend. Even the creator of ChatGPT himself has said that he’s terrified of what his own AI can do and that he desperately wants governments to regulate AI. It’s not everyday where you have companies desperately pleading to be regulated. I just wish that AI could be banned outright, or at least have a switch somewhere in settings to turn it off and even if it’s on it says very clearly that it’s artificial or synthetic content.

One thing that really pissed me off about AI, Pokemon held this art competition with 3 image submission limit, and the results ended with 6 ai images taking up winning spots all by the same guy just with slightly different enough names.
6 real, different artists could've had one spot each, but ALL SIX of those winning AI photos were all taken buy one guy and his little robot thief with grimmy little hands
Edit: Apparently the images were disqualified! Thank god! And thank you to the people who let me know! But I'm still pissed he was able to win before pokemon disqualified the images
Second edit: Please, politely, shut up. I don't care how convinced you ai bros are, ai "art" is stealing, it's easy as balls, and shouldn't belong in a fucking art contest.
You have your fucking ai image contests, you don't need to get your grimey fucking hands on the actual talent it takes to make art.
"It is not enough that I succeed. Others must fail."
ohhhhh this makes steam hiss out of my ears
He made six? He just wants to see the world burn at that point.
there was also an ai art competition and the winning image was an actual photograph taken by an actual man with an actual camera. he said he hopes the audience wont be upset about being deceived, considering thats exactly what ai does.
edit: *A winning image, i looked at the article it was 3rd place and got the peoples choice award. the photographer, Miles Astray was then disqualified
It is about the outcomes.
something i saw recently was along the lines of "i want ai to do work so i can focus on art, not for ai to do art so i can focus on work" and i think that really encapsulates a lot of what i think about ai
edit: this comment got more attention than i thought, idk, the most important thing i think i can say is that you should enjoy and invest in things that people create that you enjoy, especially when they create passionately. art is such an extremely human trait, it should be experienced at a human level.

idk why ai was made and immediately used to do artistic things. Robots are supposed to make life easier, not take away the few joys we have access to. Make ai clean the trash out of the ocean or something idk
The AI was made to do these things first because they are the easiest thing to do. Robots have been making people's life easier for decades now. You don't have to do laundry, dishes, lawn mowing, mopping or vaccuuming anymore unless you are petty enough to count the one minute it takes to load and unload things from the machines or to empty the roomba...
The tech bros went for the thing that's easiest to make money from instead of things that adds actual value to society
AI was "immediately" made to do artistic things... AFTER it was first used to do the following:
- Voice recognition to help those who can't type
- Audio Transcription to help those who can't hear or can't easily understand voices
- Diarization to improve the above
- Translation to help people communicate across the world
- Image classification
- Facial recognition
- Content moderation to vastly (but imperfectly) reduce the amount of spam, adult, and absolutely vile content that you see
- Optical Character Recognition to allow us to convert huge amounts of our history into digital form where it can be preserved
- Voice synthesis to help those who can't see
- Detect fraudulent transactions to prevent people who steal your card information from impersonating you as successfully
- Analyze and classify tumors, neurological disorders and bone fractures
A lot of art is done digitally so I would imagine it’s easier to make a computer program to do that than make a whole ass robot to clean the ocean

Fun fact: there was an actual study about the efficacy of parachutes compared to normal backpacks when jumping from a plane. It found no difference at all. Though, it has to be remarked that, for ethical reasons, they could only perform this test with the plane standing still on the ground. It's also notable that this paper was published on april 1st. Obviously, this context was completely overlooked by the AI.
i mean, a closed parachute and a normal backpack probably are pretty similar anyways. if the parachute doesn't open, they'd certainly serve the same purpose
It did mention that the study was on planes "within a few feet above the ground" at the very end if you look at it, but it still blatantly misunderstood the question.

It’s weird that we’ve heard of people going to jail for forging paintings and selling them (something that is still a lot of work despite the intrinsic thievery of it), yet it’s legal to completely steal the entire history of hundreds of thousands of artists and produce derivative work with zero effort at all.
It's legal because corporations are doing it
Yeah forgery is only illegal if you try to sell it as authentic. It is also actually more difficult than the original was in most cases. The AI thing is a big problem.

"the street looks so realistic" oh, the street? the only part that doesn't move and is essentially just a photograph?
I cannot STAND the "accessibility" argument that AI bros use all the time. I grew up poor and without internet access till I was 13, and I drew pictures using cheap shit like printer paper, crayola brand materials, number 2 pencils, and even CARDBOARD as a canvas. I literally used whatever bc I loved drawing so much. Now that I'm an adult, I can afford an iPad, art software, and I have a 4.0 GPA at a prestigious art college with scholarships. Literally anyone can make anything WITH ANYTHING! Also, there have been numerous disabled, poor, or blind artists throughout history. Saying AI is "accessible" is a slap in the face to the hard work of disabled or poor artists.
It also makes no sense either because youre not making anything when you use ai. Its no more "creating art" than getting a picture someone else made from google images.
Ironically, the workarounds people with limited accessibility use to create art is typically what makes the art hold more value (from an intrinsic standpoint, not a monetary standpoint)
Literally the way we have art now only exist because people before couldn't access other types so they Made Their Own. Innovation doesn't come from every aspect of your existence being catered to, it comes from needing to and working to get it, putting thought and care which puts so much more meaning into the end result
Can't think outside the box if you live in one that has everything you'd want so you don't have to even think of leaving
You tellin' me. I agree so much, I also grew up in poverty that making art was a rare, precious escape from our harsh reality. The act of creating art was my sanctuary. I used anything I could find-old newspapers, cereal boxes, and flattened tissues-to draw. Charcoal from burnt wood often had to serve as my pencil, and if I was lucky, I'd find a half-broken crayon to add a pop of color. My determination to create art was relentless, often sketching in the dirt outside or using our walls as a canvas, knowing they could be washed away by the rain.
I despise the AI bros who don't know what real struggle is. They use us and our stories to sell their junk!
I think there's a genuine argument to be made to justify AI as accessibility, but NOT for making art. It's accessibility for making a product and that's the part we desperately need to separate. Too many people I know, both pro-ai and anti-ai, genuinely see art and products as the same thing and they've never even considered what it means to MAKE art. It's making the darkest forms of greed and waste more accessible to those who are most desperate which is just deeply depressing to me as a disabled person myself.
Not to mention that there are tons of artists who made art without their hands. They used their mouth or their feet. I saw a whole tumblr thread on it.

absolute fire video, I work in a web design agency and the way 99% of the staff talk about genAI is horrifying, they really cant wait to replace themselves with machines
Today's big tech scene is a complete disaster.
There's just something utterly depressing about AI. Automating shitty repetitive tasks is fine, but what's with this craze to automate literally every meaningful and creative thing a human can do? Is the ultimate life goal to just sit on your coach and get wasted all day? Where is this heading?
I work in tech and joined just before the boom. Last job I was surrounded by NFTs bitcoin and metaverse grift. I miss those days tbh... this is far more depressing. There's literally nothing else being talked about or improved on. What happens when it crashes? The org visited a school to hype ai to them, and all the art kids at the back gravitated to me (I was doodling), and expressed a genuine fear and sadness about their futures before they even start. I couldn't say anything except that I felt their pain. 26 years of hard work made worth even less in an already ruthless underpaying market. It's hard to find hope... is there any?
I work as a designer for a rich media agency and I've seen it a lot too. Also, the way they believe our work gets immediately easier if we start to implement AI tools - the reality is that AI sometimes just makes it harder because of the horrible results it drops, lol
@@sh0werp0werthat sounds awesome
Wow, Drew Gooden, this video was absolutely fantastic! Your insights are spot-on and your delivery is hilarious. Can't wait for more content like this!

I am 44 years old and I grew up along with the internet literally. I still do not understand exactly when people went from, don't believe anything on the internet cause its the internet. To OMG it's more real then real life and I will die to defend it.
Right!!! And the “well google says this dadada” like even GOOGLE PRE-AI wasnt the best source of information if you dont know how to research your sources.
I mean I don’t think that’s necessarily the same group of people. Imo, people who are engaging with AI are mostly duped people ignorant that it’s AI (and therefore not a demographic who ever internalized “don’t believe the internet”) or greedy opportunists looking to dupe people. In which case their philosophy is “go ahead and believe everything you see on the internet so I can exploit your dumb ass.”
The other group of people, who say it’s the greatest most beautiful future for all mankind or whatever, are a negligible minority of basement dwelling contrarians and hopefully will remain that way. But who knows.
That's actually a really interesting point because it's really hard to pin exactly when it happened. I feel like it had to be a generational shift, which is I guess a little comforting, because kids growing up during this stage aren't going to believe a thing anywhere from anyone.
Hopefully.
Well the issue is philosophy isn't mandatory. And thats where you are basically taught to think critically when reading ect.
The internet just requires the same skepticism as newspapers to navigate.
And the moment we stopped teaching kids about editorial narrative and trying to read between the lines. Was the moment people stopped needing it
Using* not needing
Obviously this video is amazing. I think this is one of the best videos Drew’s ever made and it’s full of fantastic profound arguments against AI, however the ai extended road work ahead clip is one of the funnest things I’ve ever seen
I didn't believe in human soul until I saw "art" created by AI. I thought corporate music, stock photos and footage and direct to video films were soulless, but all of those things have so much more soul than anything AI has ever created.
i'd take disneys direct to dvd sequels over ai baloney any day
There is something interesting about how deliberately bland and soulless corporate music is. There is nothing interesting about ai music.
@ville__is that you Skynet?
@ville__no. *you’re* a poo
@@exnsaoSome of those direct to dvd sequels are even, dare I say it, tolerable.
that mannequin idea actually sounds like a sick idea for a short story like i cannot think of anything more horrifying than a decrepit old mall with half-rotted plastic mannequins constantly repeating the same phrases
the magnus archives kinda shit
I’ve never seen ANY media exploring THIS brand new idea! (Sarcasm)
@maddieb.4282 okay give us some recs mate! share what you know :D
@@j_fenrir I think there was this game that had like animatronic animals or sometjing.
Silent Hill 2 double legged mannequin type a shit
I saw a Twitter post saying something along the lines of “AI art convinced me of the existence of the human soul because I’ve seen what art looks like without it” and…yeah, that about sums it up.
Which is why we need to advance AI further
@@qweee3913nah, we good bot
@@qweee3913more soulless art! MORE I SAY!
@@qweee3913who's we?
Until you find out a bot wrote that tweet.
I’ve never heard someone say “catch you on the flip side” with such VENOM before. I can feel the rage oozing 😂
