The main point of this video for me, is that when change and evolution is far larger than you or the majority of people combined, there is no point resisting it. How are designers from the 1980s doing today that disregarded computers? A.i design is in it's infancy, and to stay ahead the best method is to be involved in it and watch it evolve, not play catch up later. Food for thought
@@NickyPasquier AI for logo design is a bad idea. It's one of the few industries where an artist completely transfers all rights to the client. If A.I generates even part of the logo or the concept, you're handing the client a copyright that you don't have. Without a copyright, anyone can copy their company. Negligence is an accident, on purpose makes you 100% liable.
What people still don't understand is that Ais are using copyrighted material for their datasets so, whatever thing you do there is a collage of resources that ARE COPYRIGHTED. How a professional designer is going to sell something they don't even have the right to sell? Midjourney's Terms state clearly that the work derivated from their tool should be personal. Making money using Ai art right now is very unprofessional in my opinion.
@@ComunidadSE that's really interesting, Sora, thanks for giving me the 'heads up' and for letting me know about Copyrighted material. I shall tread very carefully!
I think the main issue of AI art is that there's no consent or attribution from artists for their work to be used for machine learning. I agree that AI can be used and is useful for making a base to start off your graphic designs because the AI won't solve all of the client's problems. With a lot of art however, the artist isn't making art to "solve" a problem like designers do. With creativity and years of honing their skills, artists create a piece of artwork that is uniquely theirs. I also agree that artists can use AI as a base for their artworks and painting over them(similar to traditional artists using an underpainting). However, there are people who make money off of generated AI art, passing it off as their own original work. I think it would be unfair to just tell everyone to "keep up with the times" when artists' works are being stolen without their consent and used as a backbone for unregulated AI art generators.
Again, nothing is being "stolen", Data scraping and ai has been used to develop products for disabled people. This is literally like blowing a gasket because they used a picture of a dog you uploaded on the internet to train an ai to recognize and recreate what a dog looks like and then then telling disabled person that using these products to create equates to them "passing it off" like they have a skill they were born with, its disgusting and sickening karen behavior. Your argument makes it sound like artists dont learn how to draw and paint from analyzing and studying other artists work like their styles and form placements. If this is theft then krita ripping off photoshops lifework and "passing it off like their original work" while collecting donations should be a sickening unethical offensive thing, but it isnt.
I totally agree with you on that. It's also the fact that a lot of websites where you upload your art automatically push you to open your art for ai learning without your knowledge for me... Adobe did the same thing in their last update. They just automatically ticked the box that enables ai to learn from your work and you need to manually untick the box if you disagree.... and for that you need someone else to tell you about the issue because adobe didn't really want ppl to know they're doing it and didn't make it really obvious for their users. I think that's very problematic. There have been Als for music for quite some time now and there are actually some safety nets legally against theft. The reason I hate art AI so much is because as an artist there's not a lot you can do against the ai if it steels part of your art atm. If that changes in the future to make ai a fair tool for everyone I'd probably even change my mind about it but as of now I'll refuse to use it.
I think art also solves problems on a general or grand social scale. It is important to understand that artists come in all shapes and types. Some work in terms of their individuality and self expression and some work to solve problems like commercial illustrations and marketing.
In my opinion Namelix only picks names that match with more expensive domain names. Then offers to sell you those names at a marked up price on a partner website, taking a cut from the website where you buy it. Also, there's no way for Mid Journey to make images without uploading artist's art onto their software. Also that person who made the children's book that you mentioned, also has no copyright and he can't get one. In graphic design we can't do something so risky to our clients.
Midjourney and Stability are being sued because images in their training dataset doesn't have permission from the original IP owners. You can say they fall under free use, but it doesn't mean you can license any of those generated by AI. Besides Midjourney itself warned in its ToS that if there is any damage to them because of users' infrigement of other people's IPs, they would come after you and make you pay for the damages and legal fees. If you don't have a creative process and think AI is one-stop solution, you better have a lawyer to call.
Something to think about, is you may have AI generate the artwork, and then the client say, perfect except I want the arm to be a fraction lower and the wrist slanted just a bit more. An artist could easily make those changes, I’m not sure AI could without creating a totally different image. Where the AI is best is for coming up with and visualising ideas, and doing it in a much faster time frame.
very good point. That's the situation where a 'designer' is literally using Ai to generate the artwork though, and not things such as backgrounds, mockups etc.
You may or may not know this already, but controlnet, inpaint and outpaint on stable diffusion can fix poses, parts of an image you want iterated, extend images too..
Just like when templates flooded the market, companies do not want to waste their time trying to make a marketing piece. We are still needed to figure out the best solution for their problems.
As a designer I love how AI facilitates many things like erasing a background, you dont have to create something with AI but definitely you can take advantages like inspirations, the thought process of an idea, etc, for me is a no brainer and will help me to be much more dynamic and be quicker, thank you for sharing
I love using ai as an aid for inspiration and for content creation it speeds up a lot of my time I would spend doing dumb emails and contracts etc. And I use logo generators as a starting point alot of the time and it speeds up my inspiration process. Ai has a place and people will always abuse it but those who are already skilled and can make ai work for them in creative ways will always outshine the posers
It won't be the first tool humans abuse and won't be the last. Every new tool comes with people who are gonna abuse it and people (like you) that will use it wisely. AI in all fields is a great help for many people, and a great way to save time in a world where time is our most valuable asset.
Thank you Satori for sharing all of these tools, tips and tricks with the world. I appreciate your videos and i'm grateful for all the hard work that you put into it! And i really appreciate your soothing voice as well ^^! Amazing job!
I'll preface by saying I'm currently neither for not against AI generated work. Photography was not considered part of the 'high arts', the fine arts or even an art during its infancy. There was even a school of thought that the mechanism was sucking the souls of the subjects. No matter what opinion I end up forming, there's one fact - AI is now a player and always will be. I'm staying positive and hoping the winds will eventually blow in a productive manner. Thanks for the video, 👍
Seems like my comment got deleted so Im writing again (maybe bcuz I included links to lawsuits and articles) Image generators steal from artists, photographers, designers and just people who posted pics online on a training stage. Machine takes the picture, apply noise to it then tries to recreate that picture, the better it will be able to recreate it, the better the model will get. That's how it learns. The other issue is with overfitting problem. You might get a result that is a direct violation of someone copyright by accident and set yourself and your clients for potential lawsuit. If you want to know more I recommend you reading a lawsuit against Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and DeviantArt. Also just today gettyimages also announced that they will be suing Stable Diffusion for taking images from their website without the license. As for now, generated images are not copyrighted, you will need to manually apply for copyright at the office and prove that you have done substential work. There's an ongoing case which might change laws but that's for the future. It would be the best for now to use image generators as a loose inspiration only unless you want to get yourself or/and your clients into legal issues. New laws regarding media generating machines will most likely be established this year (USA got lawsuit cases which will probably set precedent, EU is in process of writing own laws, China already implemented that machine generated media need to have a watermark and clearly state that it's not a human work)
Thanks for the insight. Like with any new technology or industry sector, it often starts off like the wild west. Think the Internet in the 90s or cryptocurrency. Regulation soon comes in and laws are made. I think this will be the way for Ai design
Tom, this is a gift for designers, not a nail in the coffin, if they learn how to drive the stuff for their own benefit. We all learn by copying and then adapting that knowledge to our own ends. I'm over 60 and am diving into this stuff like a 4 year old ripping open presents on Christmas morning at 03:00. Change is inevitable, you can't stop it, but at least try and ride the beast. Those who are screaming foul are the ones who are not confident in their own ability or fear their pseudo status will be uncovered. I refer my learned friend to the Industrial Revolution and its effect on Cottage Industries, or, if you prefer, how Microsoft blew away the thaumaturgic cloak of the computer world.
That's my main point yeah, you cannot stop change that is far larger than you or even your group of people. Instead of expending energy and emotion on a futile endeavour, mine as well go along with it.
In my personal view, to dismiss the "cons" is frankly quite naive. AIs will progress too fast for you to find a way to profit from them, in every single field for you to "adapt" anymore, as simple as that. Sure, nothing wrong in spending some time fiddling with them, but that will last for a few years before your line of work becomes so redundant and automatized that you wont be profiting from it anymore. The ultimate point of increasing efficiency is simply to cut costs, because in the end, we are already oversaturated by media, with or without AIs. Perhaps the distant future will leave in harmony with the technology but in our present, societies don't treat well those who are unemployed.
Stable Diffusionsis can be fed (trainted) upon your own style or "typographical" data to learn, and then generate related graphics. In Midjourney prompts, you can iclude url of an image to look at.
@@SatoriGraphics yes Sir, and there are numerous organizations now. OMG, just within 2 months. (as my comment got noticed, Thank you for your great content)
Watermarks and artist's signatures appearing on AI generated images really paint (heh) a different picture than the one you're presenting. Yeah, using generators as tools, as bases to then create something new can be great, but there's a real problem when you intend to use commercially the generated image as is.
The change began, but by using AI gens in the state they are now, you kinda consent to art theft. Those artist did not give consent to using their artworks in this way. And still there are pictures created based on their work, their names are a part of prompts for the AI. The hype around it should rather be directed in giving rights to the artists and the option to opt out of the databases. Nevertheless AI in terms of removing background, upscaling etc are awesome tools.
It's not art theft. AI works by understanding patterns and told that X patten is a given name as guide, being the style of the art of the image, the author, and so on. AI works in a very similar way our own brain does, you don't create art from thin air, you use all your actual knowledge and if you come with something new, is a mix of all of it in a novel way. When you prompt an AI to generate something it's actually doing so, it's not copy-paste, it's a mixture of patterns that identify themselves to what you ask it to create. If artists are against AI, they shouldn't even make their work visible to any other artist then, because anyone looks at other's work they will be incorporating their aesthetics into their knowledge. AI works similar to our own brain but it's millions of times faster.
For the people who are skeptical and fearful: No producer lost their job because of smart playlists. AI is a contained system; a glorified generator. It's what I like to call any new Adobe feature - that does the same things you could already do, just easier - a Make-It-Cool button. The camera doesn't make the photographer, only their experience in using it. This is something AI does not take away, but elevates. You are now empowered to allocate your time to your individual vision and creativity, rather than finic around with the hard way. People like Apple for its right out-of-the-box ease of use; you can just dive right into the work. Why is there all this work, just to do the actual job? AI free's us of the labor, to elevate our craft. Knowing how to use it, is the best way not to be left behind. We don't have to be afraid of the future, because we design it. It will be okay.
The problem you miss is in the optics. For many freelancers it's all about selling a skill to an uneducated client. The client now has another thing to point at and say 'the AI can generate it for 10$ so you need to do it for 8$'. The camera doesn't make the photographer, sure, but now there are so many 'not photographers with a camera' that a lot of work gets lost to amateurs without a talent, or to experts who are forced to work on a honestly embarrassing pice.
The main issue IMO is not about replacement but making for the most part our profession a commodity. AI will force wages and fees to go even lower. I’m veteran motion designer and first hand witnessed the advent of powerful computers that pushed project fees down, then came a wave of outsourcing jobs to other countries, then services like Fiveer and Upwork and now AI. It’s not good.
Brother, can you create a short tutorial on how to make Hypercast Microphone reach it's max potential, I have one of those microphone but I can't get the same audio quality. :(
Hey. It's pretty simple. You need to change the setting on the microphone so it's only recording from the front (there are 4 settings). Then you need to speak close to the microphone. Also try and do it in a room that isn't to echoey. Then I do a few things to the audio in Reaper (which is free).
I totally agree with you at the end of the video. This whole AI thing is a runaway train and designers/artist/creative types have to accept this, adapt or fade away.
I am willing to accept AI in the design world and use it in the design process. The only time I do not support AI generators is if they do use other peoples work in their database without permission, not even specifically just art. But if the AI isnt trained with others work un-consensually then im perfectly fine with it and it is definitely a helpful tool.
Following up on this, theres still a lot of traditional artists that hate the idea of digital art and call it cheating so I think there will always be people against AI art and we will just have to move along
Yeah just there are a few people who dislike design made on a computer, and prefer hand crafted design. Obviously there is a much smaller and less sought-after market for that these days. The same likely will happen to design as it was 5 years ago, compared to how it will be in 15 years
I tried HotPot A.i for 1) image generation, 2) object erasing 3) photo restoration. It failed miserably at all three. If you are ACTUALLY a designer using Photoshop you could easily fix the later two issues with the tools you have on hand. And Playground AI is free and does a MUCH better job at image generation. Considering that his app suite charges for anything above thumbnail level graphics, it is a HOT mess! Don't bother!
I am starting a puzzle/trivia channel and so i tried hotpot ai to create an image of a man who is obsessed with puzzles and trivia. Waited for about a minute and when the result came back, it was hideous. With its arms distorted, it looked like someone who survived chernobyl. Scared me to death!!!! But thanks for the referal tho
Transformative content would suggest that it's legal. Plus the images haven't been used in that way, they have been used to teach a style and not to replicate exactly.
No ai can create from nothing... they use images from google as you said and they merge them to new images. There's a reason you can't just take any picture from google for your graphic design works because the images are copyrighted. A lot of the artists did not give consent for the ai to 'learn' from their work. This means the person using the AI can never own the image the AI created. (Own as in owning the copyright.) So the guy with the children's book does not own the copyright to the images in the book. The reason ppl are so angry is not because he created the book as he stated it 'an experiment', it's because he is actively making profit with other peoples work without their consent, without compensating them and without even owning the copyright. It's straight up art theft imo and I would advise other designers not to rely on AI art just yet. There are Als that create music, they've been around for a while now and there are already laws to protect musicians from having their work stolen. I'm hoping this will follow with art Als sooner or later but until then there will probably be a lot of legal battles. In my humble opinion it's simply not worth the risk at this point in time and for me personally I just don't want to support art theft and destroying smaller businesses that simply cannot afford to have a legal battle with some big company that used ai to steal from them. Artists have it hard enough as is.

Its good that Humans get ANGRY about AI.. and it seems many more will loose their jobs... this way.. maybe they can AT LAST think of another way to run things in this F*cked up system that we're living. And Also, NO Artist can create Art by themselves also... all Humans take input from the world around them.. and then combine it in their minds, and make Art. Humans sure put their Feelings into it... but AI is just a Helpful tool... it will not replace Human Feelings... but it will Help them in the Creative process.
Although A.I. can actually help you do stuff faster in some areas like audio transcript, video editing and compositing, it can also do a bit of harm to digital artists. If you charge lets say 60 bucks for a design, and the client thinks you are charging too much, then they just can use A.I. Not every single Designer has a huge contract with a big company (or many) most survive with what they do for small companies or even individuals. Is in this particular area (the small ones) where A.I. is hitting hard. Many of us that do illustration, developed our style by watching and studying our favorite artists art. In some way, this is what the A.I. does, learning from others, and if we are going to call A.I. an act of thievery then we should consider ourselves thieves too. A.I. is a topic of discussion where we will never agree on. I do think that it has its pros and cons. We knew technology was going to reach this point, but I guess it did faster than we thought.
The reason for using Lorem Ipsum is because it is placeholder text, it should look wrong ;-) Using chat GPT to generate readable/meaningful text is dangerous because you'd be almost unable to tell where the text should be replaced with real text.
I don't understand what situation in history has led you to think human designers and artists will profit well out of AI. Yes, there's no going back but also there is no invisible hand that makes things turn out okay in the end. If demand was high among clients for human-made design but there was a shortage of good human designers, then maybe those designers would get paid more. But a situation where the majority of clients are happy to use AI but a minority desire human-made design would not create high incomes for human designers. Clients would, in fact, drive down artists' fees by making them sweat about the AI competition: "Why should we pay you a decent wage when we can get guided AI work for peanuts?" Musicians have seen the same thing happen for sync work even before AI came along; the industry enticed very young workers with low to zero fees but dazzling them with big corporate names for their CVs, and used that leverage to cut established fees for experienced composers down and down and down until everyone is forced to do more work for less money just to get by. That's how things really go in a creative market, and it's naive in the extreme to imagine that this culture will bring you benevolent partners.
The software isn't that important. It's only a tool that allows you to make something. It depends what you are making of course, but if you can make what you want or need to make with XD, and you feel comfortable in it, why change?
The whole point of the Lorem ipsum thingy, is that it looks way better, and text-like, than "ioioioio", but it's still pretty easy to spot for replacing it with real text. If you use the GPT text... well you'll have a hard time finding out which text is real and which one is placeholder 🤷♂ Unless of course you intend to keep the GPT text. Then all you need is an AI designer to do the design for you. And, finally, an AI reader that consumes your magazine, enjoys the articles for you, laughs at all the AI generated jokes, and so on. Then you can die in peace, free from the burden of living.
At least with my customers, lorem ipsum still works the best. If I place a text that isn't final but looks real, they just can't ignore it and they keep telling me that they are not fully convinced of it, even if I tell them it is just a placeholder (even if they are well aware it's not my part of the project to write them). A lot of people, specially outside the design world, need something that constantly reminds them that a sketch is that- a sketch, or they get anxious because they don't understand it's easy to change. This might be cultural though, or just my social circle. Not against GPT, it just has not worked in my case.
Mid journey cannot generate images without using databases. These databases are infinite number of photographs and digital art images. It cannot create a single image with an empty dataset just like a painter can’t create a painting with an empty palette.
The people already in the position to profit most from ML technology always say: cat is out of the bag, stop thinking about the negatives and just learn to use it to make more money. Being critical of anything these days is seen as some kind of unhealthy and bad behaviour. This is all such a dumb development of society but it sadly perfectly fits into these times.
Here's the thing. I would prefer if it didn't exist if I weigh up the pros and cons. But the fact is that it's unstoppable. It cannot be made illegal and it cannot be policed. Cracked versions of Adobe software are illegal, but it's everywhere. So yes the cat is out of the bag and there is no going back. It doesn't matter if 1 billion people get angry and sign a petition, nothing will change. So with that in mind you should change your mindset to the inevitable.
@@SatoriGraphics I have to disagree with you. The ripped versions of Photoshop exist but Adobe still sells their software and people buy it. Especially big companies do not want legal issues if they can spend a reasonable amount for a product that gives them great value. There are already lawsuits against Copilot, Midjourney, SD etc. and if the courts rule copyright infringement instead of fair use, the commercial world is definitely not just going to completely ignore that. Just because a subset of people will always act opportunistic even if what they do is immoral or outright illegal doesn't mean society stops the process of determining and enforcing rules and laws. No one gives a damn about people privately playing with AI and generating visual content for fun and friends. As soon as we talk about commercial purposes its a whole different question, assuming the utilization of unconsential copyrighted or private data for training. I'm baffled that even so many artists themselves do not seem to understand that. At this point I'm asking myself if they maybe just don't want to understand or question it because they stand to potentially profit from this a lot. If a billion people get angry everything can change. What you write, to me, reads as a classic accelerationist argument: don't fight for your rights but either join or shut up because fate is apparently already written in stone. Makes zero sense to me but I acknowledge that this seems to be a minority viewpoint. Edit: also, I don't even prefer this technology to not exist. I have several friends who work in the field, one of them using AI for conservation purposes. We need AI to solve complex problems like climate modeling, fusion energy, etc. The image generators themselves can be a gift to humanity. Why shouldn't we celebrate that a paralyzed person for example can literally look at a screen while being filmed and thereby type words and then plug that into DALL-E to generate imagery. That is absolutely fantastic. Critique of AI is not a wholesale canceling of the tech.
AI is a blessing to us designers. Why? First, we saw that in the past 4-5 years literally millions of people suddenly became "designers". And who are they? Mostly folks who do generic beginner shit, who copy someone else's work and style, who have no knowledge of real design rules and no experience. Especially in logo design, where you have to be somewhat educated and skilled to create a fitting and stunning identity. What does AI do? AI will erase these generic "designers" from the planet, as businesses will have free accessible AI tools that completely replace those "designers". I'm talking about more than 80% of them. I fully support the development od AI as it will never be able to replace real human creativity and inteligence that comes from God. I have high hopes for AI, that it will filter out those who create real creative and FITTING (costum) designs.
For the midjourney not copying but just learning artstyle thing. I have to disagree. There are art generation where existing japan concept artbook pages text were merged into the generation. At the same time for art genre like Chinese art where seal are heavily used as signature .Ai couldnt identity it as the artist’s signature but a pattern which AI just directly pasted on the generation. They are smart trying to hide it but not smart enough.
hotpot ai is bad in terms of their ux. When making ai art, they have a premium button that you have to press in order generate anything. But then you can't generate anything because you don't have any credits. And they claim it's free
Have you given consideration to the fact that AI could generate imagery that designers may adopt and inadvertently infringe on existing trademarks? Could end up quite nasty...
Adapt has always been the way forward for technology disruption. However, we have entered a new era in which the investment cost to adapt will likely be negated by the speed at which AI is developing. In other words, by the time you adapt you are already obsolete again.
Wait for it... Wait for it... It's only in Beta. Once they roll out that subscription fee, then we will see how much "designers" rejoice. In my opinion, using this to design or create is like putting the training wheels back on.
I disagree. The future businesses that succeed in the Ai world will be the ones that have extensive data on huma behaviour by interaction with the algorithms. The more data a company has on this, the better they can reine their coding. By 2030, it will be very easy and cheap to run Ai, so the winners will be the ones who have a ton of active data. It makes sense to keep it free to use for now
@Satori Graphics Businesses will win. Designers will not. There is just something that I love about investigating trends, learning, and advancing. Ai will be the end to this. I guess this is the reason why I'm focusing my efforts on advancing my programming skills. Digital design will become just an afterthought. There will be a surplus of brands. You have to understand that the pie is not infinite. Tangibility is what humans will seek; traditional work, something we can smell, taste, and touch will gain profitability. Everyone will be the designer in your future but won't know what it really takes to gain the knowledge and experience.
Ai... is just another evolution in art. When we all learnt to draw or design. I'm pretty sure that everyone's starting point was influenced by the styles of others. That's what ai is doing now. It's using the style points of what is available and generates new art using the prompts given. It's evolution... not theft
@Satori Graphics thanks for the like and comment sir. As a time served "creative" with 2 decades of experience. I have seen many evolutions in the way art and design are approached and produced. For example, I remember typesetting in print manually. Cutting and placing individual letters and physically arranging them on printing film. Ai should not be feared, as you say... it should be embraced, utilised, and absorbed into our workflows. It is after all a tool and, that's the one thing we humans are meant to be good at using.
The problem with AI generated images is that it makes people think they can actually do stuff when that's not true. First of all, all they do is put a description into an algorithm. None of the actual design or imagery comes out of their mind. They didn't imagine any of it, they just decided which one looked best to them, which could have just as easily been generated by someone else. It's like the ready made version of digital art. It might look cool, but somewhere, someone else did the label design of that can of Campbell's soup for you to frame it and sell it as an "original" work of art.

Make an AI generate a specific thing and it'll come with something "similar" but not the original thing, just a resemblance.
mmm i'm doubtful in what your saying as for now its all great because its all new to us but remember as you are creating AI is learning from what we are doing and getting smarter. this could kill a lot of jobs out. it comes the big amazon art..But yes its stunning that Ai can do.
Hotspot is in early Alpha I would say :D to use some tools you need fill up a survey and hope getting access to this doubtful tool :D Just used AI background remover - making all job by hands you get awesome results comparing with what did this app :D So for now it seems like time waste than effective tools in you works :( Chat GPT is the best helper so far :)
Painting the issue as "to accept” or "not to accept" the technology is misleading as it dodges the real questions about the future it implies for the field of design and communication in general and the real harm it can create. Technology is only as good as we can apply it and humanity does not exactly have a great track record. The guy who published an AI storybook being the perfect example of how AI caj devalue the human experience. Because a book, like visual design, is a form of communication in using express, cost efficient ways to produce books, you in turn destroy incentive structures for real humans to produce meaningful works, which AI works can never be, because ART and design is about communicating with other human beings through a language of words or visuals. In effect, you are playing a game of telephone charades with a robot, a non-living entity who interprets your "prompt" by remixing every single similar thing that has ever been, in a way we cannot call plagiarism for the one simple reason that the process it goes through is much too complex for anybody to comprehend, ever (though the end result is often the same). It's like the AI who last year beat the world champion at Go, humanity's most complex game. Not only did the AI beat the best humans, it invented strategies so complex that nobody can understand them. The best way to win a tournament at Go will soon be to learn by heart the moves of an AI by interacting with it for endless hours. It is literally destroying the game itself, the aspect that makes it human. The same will be true of every possible human endeavor we can put into an algorithm. It is a complete shift in how we comprehend cognition. It will be a technology used to produce wonder, could bring about a utopian humanity, but only if it is used in the best, most careful of ways (it will likely not be). I do not think it should be used to produce things like art and books, domains of human communication as it devalues all of human interaction.
@@SatoriGraphics That's exactly key - it absolutely matters! The spread of technology may be inveitable, but being wise in how we implement it is the deciding factor in whether we use it to make our lives hell or heaven. When we invented steam machines, the resulting industrialisation brought misery to most of the population within industrializing nations because there were no rules in place as to how workers could be treated. The technology itself was wondrous - but it took us a long time to figure out how to implement it in a way to bring wonder to most of humanity.
Personally for me Midjourney allows me to put my ideas and see what things will look like as I used to be a graphic designer but I suck at drawing and mid helps me
Same, I have absolutely no drawing talent, but I like making art. AI art is pretty cool and for my purposes it's a starting point more than the actual end goal. I think a designer with the knowledge of how to get there already can probably make something much better too because they know the fundamentals of good design. I could chuck something at the AI, but I only know what looks good to me, not the proven processes that make good designs time after time.
Maybe you should let an A.I do your videos. They will be done in a mater of minutes and they will be good. You should also think about going back to school because in a couple of years, graphic designers won't be needed anymore. The problem with A.I. and creativity is that it is not helping you going faster, it's doing the work for you. It's not a tool. To use a tool (like photoshop) you need skills. The use A.I you need to know some words...
LOL If you think that designers or even video creators being removed and replaced by robots means I don't earn money, then you're wrong. Like I've said many times on this channel, people should have multiple revenue streams, especially these days. if you don't then you're playing with fire. And as far as my videos go, they get a very positive feedback from a majority. Consider yourself special and a minority. I strive to offer value and to help people, what are you doing in the world apart from offering passive aggressive comments?
@@SatoriGraphics I think your video are very good and offer great value. That's not the point. English is not my first language so maybe there is a couple of word missing to make myself more precise. Sorry about that. My point is that A.I are not tools. You don't need any skills to use them. So, in regards of Human creativity maybe we should stop and rethink. Maybe it would be a good idea to make the decision as a species to leave human creativity to humans and use A.I to help us solve other kind of problems. We are the creators of those A.I. so we have the power to decide how to use it. Saying that there is nothing to do about it is, in a way, saying that we accept that commercial illustration and a big part of graphic design will no longer be done by humans in a near future. Using A.I to produce a children book in 2 days as nothing to do with creativity for me. I am not impress at all by that. I think it is sad. It seem to me that A.I. would be much more useful helping us finding cure to diseases or solution to balance our economy...
Before AI artists were browsing the Pinterest, Artstation etc. and were looking for inspiration, many times collecting the references on their computers and then using them to create their own art. I think this is no different, AI collected the art from countless sources and when you do a prompt, same thing, AI looks at what data it collected on the subject and generates something new - often something not expected and utterly amazing! There always were and always will be people that will exploit this. And I think there will always be a value in "true" art, maybe even more so in the future. The two things I see a problem with - new and original art will be reduced and diluted and AI art will become more and more degenerated with each itteration, AI art will become source for AI art the will be cource for AI art, making it.. unhuman. But more scary problem I see is for the new generations of kids because everything will become even faster and more frantic than we have it now, instead of content to be created in few days it will have to be done in 10 minutes.. 6 versions in 10 minutes..
Someone said "Machines are nothing without the human capabilities behind them", and AI is a great example of this, sure you can make a children's book in two days but you have to calibrate the Intelligence in order to make it consistent, the same with the graphics, you can calibrate them, is all a backup for our work.
I think artists are so arrogant at times. My dad is an artist and I've been in design all my life. They all copy elements from each other and styles and claim it for their own. Which is still an art to me. It's funny how they complain about styles being copied 😂😂😂
artist who are nagging about midjourney are missing the point behind what makes midjourney different than their own work, AI is here to stay and no matter what u do , you wont stop its progress! i do support midjourney and has helped me a lot in my line of work, not all artists are able to create the design that they envision in their mind, but midjourney is here to help such artists to turn their thoughts into an art ! the skill required in midjourney is to master how to use the right words together or which pictures to combine together in order to create a unique art. take the example of smartphone cameras, when they were first introduced all photographers complained and panicked , yet now everyone is using their phone to take pictures.
Sorry Satori, but Midjourney IS art theft. Just type in anyone's name and it'll create work based on their art style or visual language. The thing is , that wouldn't be possible without loading their artwork into the database. There is no doubt about it that it's a copyright infringement. There were several class action law suits filed against them already. Look it up.
My employer asked me about Midjourney the other day and how we could use it. They wanted to map a CAD design onto a duvet and have it in a bedroom. The "duvet in a bedroom" works, but not the mapping. It did its best, but the design was not 1:1. What I realised from this experience is that AI is not a threat to us - it can hardly design anything cohesive - instead it's a tool we could use for our benefit. Imagine being able to cut hours of conceptualisation, to mere minutes and jump straight to designing a final product.
I am going to be very direct here and truly, i couldn't care less of what everybody will think and i don't expect anyone to care about my two cents as is their perfect right not to do so, but i find it sad to see that you are following this dumb *** trend of youtube thumbnails to look at something in awe as if our life will change dramatically if we click on this video and will miss out on everything in the graphic design world if we don't. Then again, who am i, right? Don't lose all the work you build up in these last years by following trends. Proper logos don't get caught up in trends if you get my drift.
I just don't see how AI art does anything but replace creativity. If you are using it to generate ideas, you are using it to replace your own creative thinking and ideation . That story book wasn't that person's creative work of art, it was a quick way to turn a profit. Are we here doing what we do simply to just get money faster? Because then why even be a creative at all if you lean on AI to make it all for you? At that point you're not a designer or an artist, you're an editor and compiler. This whole AI business makes the whole industry just feel so empty and hollow. It proves all anyone seems to care about is bottom lines and profits. I can understand tools that are actual tools that speed up a task like colorizing photos or cropping backgrounds. But the AI art engines to me do nothing more than just replace artists and human creativity. And also economically speaking usually pay goes down with job scarcity--not up. When the competition pool is bigger that usually means people are more desperate for jobs and will take lower pay and bad work environments just to get by. I know people want to be like embrace change, and to a certain extent I agree--but also not all change is good and maybe we don't need to eat shit just because it was served to us on a platter.
The main point of this video for me, is that when change and evolution is far larger than you or the majority of people combined, there is no point resisting it. How are designers from the 1980s doing today that disregarded computers? A.i design is in it's infancy, and to stay ahead the best method is to be involved in it and watch it evolve, not play catch up later. Food for thought
survival of the fittest 🙏
Some text to image AI is just awful 🙈 but as you say, this is just the start of new technology. Do you know if any AI logo design tools by any chance?
@@NickyPasquier AI for logo design is a bad idea. It's one of the few industries where an artist completely transfers all rights to the client. If A.I generates even part of the logo or the concept, you're handing the client a copyright that you don't have.
Without a copyright, anyone can copy their company. Negligence is an accident, on purpose makes you 100% liable.
What people still don't understand is that Ais are using copyrighted material for their datasets so, whatever thing you do there is a collage of resources that ARE COPYRIGHTED. How a professional designer is going to sell something they don't even have the right to sell? Midjourney's Terms state clearly that the work derivated from their tool should be personal. Making money using Ai art right now is very unprofessional in my opinion.
@@ComunidadSE that's really interesting, Sora, thanks for giving me the 'heads up' and for letting me know about Copyrighted material. I shall tread very carefully!
I think the main issue of AI art is that there's no consent or attribution from artists for their work to be used for machine learning. I agree that AI can be used and is useful for making a base to start off your graphic designs because the AI won't solve all of the client's problems. With a lot of art however, the artist isn't making art to "solve" a problem like designers do. With creativity and years of honing their skills, artists create a piece of artwork that is uniquely theirs. I also agree that artists can use AI as a base for their artworks and painting over them(similar to traditional artists using an underpainting). However, there are people who make money off of generated AI art, passing it off as their own original work. I think it would be unfair to just tell everyone to "keep up with the times" when artists' works are being stolen without their consent and used as a backbone for unregulated AI art generators.
Again, nothing is being "stolen", Data scraping and ai has been used to develop products for disabled people. This is literally like blowing a gasket because they used a picture of a dog you uploaded on the internet to train an ai to recognize and recreate what a dog looks like and then then telling disabled person that using these products to create equates to them "passing it off" like they have a skill they were born with, its disgusting and sickening karen behavior. Your argument makes it sound like artists dont learn how to draw and paint from analyzing and studying other artists work like their styles and form placements.
If this is theft then krita ripping off photoshops lifework and "passing it off like their original work" while collecting donations should be a sickening unethical offensive thing, but it isnt.
I totally agree with you on that. It's also the fact that a lot of websites where you upload your art automatically push you to open your art for ai learning without your knowledge for me... Adobe did the same thing in their last update. They just automatically ticked the box that enables ai to learn from your work and you need to manually untick the box if you disagree.... and for that you need someone else to tell you about the issue because adobe didn't really want ppl to know they're doing it and didn't make it really obvious for their users. I think that's very problematic. There have been Als for music for quite some time now and there are actually some safety nets legally against theft. The reason I hate art AI so much is because as an artist there's not a lot you can do against the ai if it steels part of your art atm. If that changes in the future to make ai a fair tool for everyone I'd probably even change my mind about it but as of now I'll refuse to use it.
Don't just press i agree
I think the prompt is what makes it uniquely yours since everyone is working with the same thing.
I think art also solves problems on a general or grand social scale. It is important to understand that artists come in all shapes and types. Some work in terms of their individuality and self expression and some work to solve problems like commercial illustrations and marketing.
In my opinion Namelix only picks names that match with more expensive domain names. Then offers to sell you those names at a marked up price on a partner website, taking a cut from the website where you buy it.
Also, there's no way for Mid Journey to make images without uploading artist's art onto their software. Also that person who made the children's book that you mentioned, also has no copyright and he can't get one. In graphic design we can't do something so risky to our clients.
Wisely picked up and well said too. Thanks
If you change an overlay of an image changes the image... I'm not sure what copyrights you guys talk about...
Very well said. Picking the children's book, I would call it even shameless asking money for it.
I agree, as an artist, I was scared, at first, but I am, now, embracing it. Thanks for the video.
Midjourney and Stability are being sued because images in their training dataset doesn't have permission from the original IP owners.
You can say they fall under free use, but it doesn't mean you can license any of those generated by AI.
Besides Midjourney itself warned in its ToS that if there is any damage to them because of users' infrigement of other people's IPs, they would come after you and make you pay for the damages and legal fees.
If you don't have a creative process and think AI is one-stop solution, you better have a lawyer to call.
I use ChatGPt as an idea generator - and I love it. I would never use an AI generated text without editing …Never.
never, would i....
Why?
According to plagiarism checkers ChatGPT generated text is original
if ur a designer truely, u wudnt struggle generating ideas
Something to think about, is you may have AI generate the artwork, and then the client say, perfect except I want the arm to be a fraction lower and the wrist slanted just a bit more. An artist could easily make those changes, I’m not sure AI could without creating a totally different image. Where the AI is best is for coming up with and visualising ideas, and doing it in a much faster time frame.
very good point. That's the situation where a 'designer' is literally using Ai to generate the artwork though, and not things such as backgrounds, mockups etc.
You may or may not know this already, but controlnet, inpaint and outpaint on stable diffusion can fix poses, parts of an image you want iterated, extend images too..
Welcome to Photoshop AI, problem solved. 😂
Just like when templates flooded the market, companies do not want to waste their time trying to make a marketing piece. We are still needed to figure out the best solution for their problems.
So damn awesome. People should embrace technology rather than fear the unknown.
Never thought about using AI to generate copy, that's brilliant thank you!
No problem!
As a designer I love how AI facilitates many things like erasing a background, you dont have to create something with AI but definitely you can take advantages like inspirations, the thought process of an idea, etc, for me is a no brainer and will help me to be much more dynamic and be quicker, thank you for sharing
I'm already adapting. Actually the only tool that I didn't know about until this video curiously was Hotspot. The rest, already on my listbook lol
I love using ai as an aid for inspiration and for content creation it speeds up a lot of my time I would spend doing dumb emails and contracts etc. And I use logo generators as a starting point alot of the time and it speeds up my inspiration process. Ai has a place and people will always abuse it but those who are already skilled and can make ai work for them in creative ways will always outshine the posers
Thanks for sharing. The truth is often somewhere in the middle isn't it
Curious which logo AI generators are you using?
It won't be the first tool humans abuse and won't be the last. Every new tool comes with people who are gonna abuse it and people (like you) that will use it wisely. AI in all fields is a great help for many people, and a great way to save time in a world where time is our most valuable asset.
That is one positive about it.
you explained this so well!! using AI as a baseline and then expanding upon it 👏
hey thanks a bunch @UA-cam
Thank you Satori for sharing all of these tools, tips and tricks with the world. I appreciate your videos and i'm grateful for all the hard work that you put into it! And i really appreciate your soothing voice as well ^^! Amazing job!
A Great Info video like always
Appreciate it!
I'll preface by saying I'm currently neither for not against AI generated work.
Photography was not considered part of the 'high arts', the fine arts or even an art during its infancy. There was even a school of thought that the mechanism was sucking the souls of the subjects.
No matter what opinion I end up forming, there's one fact - AI is now a player and always will be.
I'm staying positive and hoping the winds will eventually blow in a productive manner.
Thanks for the video, 👍
Well said. Agree with your take on AI. Embrace it. Learn it. Become proficient with it to elevate your skill set.
That company name generator gave me so many good ideas.
That's precisely how I use it, inspiration. Enjoy :)
Seems like my comment got deleted so Im writing again (maybe bcuz I included links to lawsuits and articles)
Image generators steal from artists, photographers, designers and just people who posted pics online on a training stage. Machine takes the picture, apply noise to it then tries to recreate that picture, the better it will be able to recreate it, the better the model will get. That's how it learns. The other issue is with overfitting problem. You might get a result that is a direct violation of someone copyright by accident and set yourself and your clients for potential lawsuit.
If you want to know more I recommend you reading a lawsuit against Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and DeviantArt. Also just today gettyimages also announced that they will be suing Stable Diffusion for taking images from their website without the license.
As for now, generated images are not copyrighted, you will need to manually apply for copyright at the office and prove that you have done substential work. There's an ongoing case which might change laws but that's for the future.
It would be the best for now to use image generators as a loose inspiration only unless you want to get yourself or/and your clients into legal issues.
New laws regarding media generating machines will most likely be established this year (USA got lawsuit cases which will probably set precedent, EU is in process of writing own laws, China already implemented that machine generated media need to have a watermark and clearly state that it's not a human work)
Thanks for the insight.
Like with any new technology or industry sector, it often starts off like the wild west. Think the Internet in the 90s or cryptocurrency. Regulation soon comes in and laws are made. I think this will be the way for Ai design
Tom, this is a gift for designers, not a nail in the coffin, if they learn how to drive the stuff for their own benefit. We all learn by copying and then adapting that knowledge to our own ends. I'm over 60 and am diving into this stuff like a 4 year old ripping open presents on Christmas morning at 03:00. Change is inevitable, you can't stop it, but at least try and ride the beast. Those who are screaming foul are the ones who are not confident in their own ability or fear their pseudo status will be uncovered. I refer my learned friend to the Industrial Revolution and its effect on Cottage Industries, or, if you prefer, how Microsoft blew away the thaumaturgic cloak of the computer world.
That's my main point yeah, you cannot stop change that is far larger than you or even your group of people. Instead of expending energy and emotion on a futile endeavour, mine as well go along with it.
In my personal view, to dismiss the "cons" is frankly quite naive.
AIs will progress too fast for you to find a way to profit from them, in every single field for you to "adapt" anymore, as simple as that. Sure, nothing wrong in spending some time fiddling with them, but that will last for a few years before your line of work becomes so redundant and automatized that you wont be profiting from it anymore.
The ultimate point of increasing efficiency is simply to cut costs, because in the end, we are already oversaturated by media, with or without AIs.
Perhaps the distant future will leave in harmony with the technology but in our present, societies don't treat well those who are unemployed.
how would you use ai to help with packaging mock ups?
Tom, you're the best. Thanks for the update.
I appreciate that buddy, take care
Stable Diffusionsis can be fed (trainted) upon your own style or "typographical" data to learn, and then generate related graphics.
In Midjourney prompts, you can iclude url of an image to look at.
that's pretty cool. Stability Ai is an umbrella company that owns a lot of interesting Ai projects right?
@@SatoriGraphics yes Sir, and there are numerous organizations now. OMG, just within 2 months.
(as my comment got noticed, Thank you for your great content)
Thanks for PFPmaker ! Really great tol 😁😁
Glad you like it!
congrats on the 1m subs, thank you for sharing all these years
You said it right. It’s here. Use it to your advantage. Great video!
Right on!
Great content Tom, you are the man!
I appreciate that!
Watermarks and artist's signatures appearing on AI generated images really paint (heh) a different picture than the one you're presenting. Yeah, using generators as tools, as bases to then create something new can be great, but there's a real problem when you intend to use commercially the generated image as is.
The change began, but by using AI gens in the state they are now, you kinda consent to art theft. Those artist did not give consent to using their artworks in this way. And still there are pictures created based on their work, their names are a part of prompts for the AI. The hype around it should rather be directed in giving rights to the artists and the option to opt out of the databases.
Nevertheless AI in terms of removing background, upscaling etc are awesome tools.
It's not art theft. AI works by understanding patterns and told that X patten is a given name as guide, being the style of the art of the image, the author, and so on.
AI works in a very similar way our own brain does, you don't create art from thin air, you use all your actual knowledge and if you come with something new, is a mix of all of it in a novel way. When you prompt an AI to generate something it's actually doing so, it's not copy-paste, it's a mixture of patterns that identify themselves to what you ask it to create.
If artists are against AI, they shouldn't even make their work visible to any other artist then, because anyone looks at other's work they will be incorporating their aesthetics into their knowledge.
AI works similar to our own brain but it's millions of times faster.
Very good tools. Thank you very much for sharing. Greetings from Colombia.
Glad it was helpful!
Whoa. Thank you so much for this info.
Any time!
As always, such cool tools and advice 👌
Cheers and have a great day :)
For the people who are skeptical and fearful: No producer lost their job because of smart playlists. AI is a contained system; a glorified generator. It's what I like to call any new Adobe feature - that does the same things you could already do, just easier - a Make-It-Cool button. The camera doesn't make the photographer, only their experience in using it. This is something AI does not take away, but elevates. You are now empowered to allocate your time to your individual vision and creativity, rather than finic around with the hard way. People like Apple for its right out-of-the-box ease of use; you can just dive right into the work. Why is there all this work, just to do the actual job? AI free's us of the labor, to elevate our craft. Knowing how to use it, is the best way not to be left behind. We don't have to be afraid of the future, because we design it. It will be okay.
The problem you miss is in the optics. For many freelancers it's all about selling a skill to an uneducated client. The client now has another thing to point at and say 'the AI can generate it for 10$ so you need to do it for 8$'.
The camera doesn't make the photographer, sure, but now there are so many 'not photographers with a camera' that a lot of work gets lost to amateurs without a talent, or to experts who are forced to work on a honestly embarrassing pice.
it also robs artists of using their actual imagination which im pretty sure is 50% of an artist
The main issue IMO is not about replacement but making for the most part our profession a commodity. AI will force wages and fees to go even lower.
I’m veteran motion designer and first hand witnessed the advent of powerful computers that pushed project fees down, then came a wave of outsourcing jobs to other countries, then services like Fiveer and Upwork and now AI.
It’s not good.
*Best content as usual.Thanks for Share*
Brother, can you create a short tutorial on how to make Hypercast Microphone reach it's max potential, I have one of those microphone but I can't get the same audio quality. :(
Hey.
It's pretty simple. You need to change the setting on the microphone so it's only recording from the front (there are 4 settings).
Then you need to speak close to the microphone.
Also try and do it in a room that isn't to echoey.
Then I do a few things to the audio in Reaper (which is free).
Amazing miniature cover! Like for that, an now I'll see the video
I totally agree with you at the end of the video. This whole AI thing is a runaway train and designers/artist/creative types have to accept this, adapt or fade away.
precisely. Technological movements are unstoppable to the common person.
I am willing to accept AI in the design world and use it in the design process. The only time I do not support AI generators is if they do use other peoples work in their database without permission, not even specifically just art. But if the AI isnt trained with others work un-consensually then im perfectly fine with it and it is definitely a helpful tool.
Following up on this, theres still a lot of traditional artists that hate the idea of digital art and call it cheating so I think there will always be people against AI art and we will just have to move along
Yeah just there are a few people who dislike design made on a computer, and prefer hand crafted design. Obviously there is a much smaller and less sought-after market for that these days. The same likely will happen to design as it was 5 years ago, compared to how it will be in 15 years
Thanks for sharing......
Great video.. I agree with you, we should learn to use these AI design generator, and we can use it to simplify our work also earn money 🥂
yeah that's how I see it.. Only because there is no way to change reality, and this is how the reality of the situation is.
@@SatoriGraphics Yes, hope we all keep doing our best with this changes 🙌
I want to see ChatGPT write a resignation letter that is more creative than: "Dear Sir. I Quit. Screw You. Have a Nice Day. Thank you."
lol
Great work! Thx you
Our pleasure!
Thank you!
I tried HotPot A.i for 1) image generation, 2) object erasing 3) photo restoration. It failed miserably at all three. If you are ACTUALLY a designer using Photoshop you could easily fix the later two issues with the tools you have on hand. And Playground AI is free and does a MUCH better job at image generation. Considering that his app suite charges for anything above thumbnail level graphics, it is a HOT mess! Don't bother!
You have valid points. However, it's a starting point, waiting to see how it advances from here
AI "art" is not pushing creativity forward, it stops making people creative.
I am starting a puzzle/trivia channel and so i tried hotpot ai to create an image of a man who is obsessed with puzzles and trivia. Waited for about a minute and when the result came back, it was hideous. With its arms distorted, it looked like someone who survived chernobyl. Scared me to death!!!! But thanks for the referal tho
You don't need to have images stored for something to be "art theft". The images were already used without any compensation to the authors.
Transformative content would suggest that it's legal. Plus the images haven't been used in that way, they have been used to teach a style and not to replicate exactly.
I cant thank you enough for this.
glad you liked it!
Just great 🔥
cheers bro
Mind blowing! Thanks!
No ai can create from nothing... they use images from google as you said and they merge them to new images. There's a reason you can't just take any picture from google for your graphic design works because the images are copyrighted. A lot of the artists did not give consent for the ai to 'learn' from their work. This means the person using the AI can never own the image the AI created. (Own as in owning the copyright.) So the guy with the children's book does not own the copyright to the images in the book. The reason ppl are so angry is not because he created the book as he stated it 'an experiment', it's because he is actively making profit with other peoples work without their consent, without compensating them and without even owning the copyright. It's straight up art theft imo and I would advise other designers not to rely on AI art just yet. There are Als that create music, they've been around for a while now and there are already laws to protect musicians from having their work stolen. I'm hoping this will follow with art Als sooner or later but until then there will probably be a lot of legal battles. In my humble opinion it's simply not worth the risk at this point in time and for me personally I just don't want to support art theft and destroying smaller businesses that simply cannot afford to have a legal battle with some big company that used ai to steal from them. Artists have it hard enough as is.
It's not art theft. AI works by understanding patterns and told that X patten is a given name as guide, being the style of the art of the image, the author, and so on.

Its good that Humans get ANGRY about AI.. and it seems many more will loose their jobs... this way.. maybe they can AT LAST think of another way to run things in this F*cked up system that we're living.
And Also, NO Artist can create Art by themselves also... all Humans take input from the world around them.. and then combine it in their minds, and make Art.
Humans sure put their Feelings into it... but AI is just a Helpful tool...
it will not replace Human Feelings... but it will Help them in the Creative process.
Can you make please videos about UX UI for mobile phones please...? Thank you in advance...
Although A.I. can actually help you do stuff faster in some areas like audio transcript, video editing and compositing, it can also do a bit of harm to digital artists. If you charge lets say 60 bucks for a design, and the client thinks you are charging too much, then they just can use A.I. Not every single Designer has a huge contract with a big company (or many) most survive with what they do for small companies or even individuals. Is in this particular area (the small ones) where A.I. is hitting hard.
Many of us that do illustration, developed our style by watching and studying our favorite artists art. In some way, this is what the A.I. does, learning from others, and if we are going to call A.I. an act of thievery then we should consider ourselves thieves too. A.I. is a topic of discussion where we will never agree on. I do think that it has its pros and cons. We knew technology was going to reach this point, but I guess it did faster than we thought.
The reason for using Lorem Ipsum is because it is placeholder text, it should look wrong ;-) Using chat GPT to generate readable/meaningful text is dangerous because you'd be almost unable to tell where the text should be replaced with real text.
I use midjourey and often have watermarks and signatures in my generated images.
love you tom
I don't understand what situation in history has led you to think human designers and artists will profit well out of AI. Yes, there's no going back but also there is no invisible hand that makes things turn out okay in the end. If demand was high among clients for human-made design but there was a shortage of good human designers, then maybe those designers would get paid more. But a situation where the majority of clients are happy to use AI but a minority desire human-made design would not create high incomes for human designers.
Clients would, in fact, drive down artists' fees by making them sweat about the AI competition: "Why should we pay you a decent wage when we can get guided AI work for peanuts?" Musicians have seen the same thing happen for sync work even before AI came along; the industry enticed very young workers with low to zero fees but dazzling them with big corporate names for their CVs, and used that leverage to cut established fees for experienced composers down and down and down until everyone is forced to do more work for less money just to get by. That's how things really go in a creative market, and it's naive in the extreme to imagine that this culture will bring you benevolent partners.
Sir, can you help me a little bit? I am a little confused about which software is important nowadays Figma and xd for UI lx
The software isn't that important. It's only a tool that allows you to make something. It depends what you are making of course, but if you can make what you want or need to make with XD, and you feel comfortable in it, why change?
The whole point of the Lorem ipsum thingy, is that it looks way better, and text-like, than "ioioioio", but it's still pretty easy to spot for replacing it with real text.
If you use the GPT text... well you'll have a hard time finding out which text is real and which one is placeholder 🤷♂
Unless of course you intend to keep the GPT text.
Then all you need is an AI designer to do the design for you.
And, finally, an AI reader that consumes your magazine, enjoys the articles for you, laughs at all the AI generated jokes, and so on.
Then you can die in peace, free from the burden of living.
At least with my customers, lorem ipsum still works the best. If I place a text that isn't final but looks real, they just can't ignore it and they keep telling me that they are not fully convinced of it, even if I tell them it is just a placeholder (even if they are well aware it's not my part of the project to write them). A lot of people, specially outside the design world, need something that constantly reminds them that a sketch is that- a sketch, or they get anxious because they don't understand it's easy to change. This might be cultural though, or just my social circle. Not against GPT, it just has not worked in my case.
Mid journey cannot generate images without using databases. These databases are infinite number of photographs and digital art images. It cannot create a single image with an empty dataset just like a painter can’t create a painting with an empty palette.
this mic sound so pleasant than NT-USB, What do you say?
yeah I actually prefer this mic for sure, and it's cheaper than the RODE NT
is that an EVH pillow? at 1:30 ? 😂

love all of these graphic designers who think that ai is an enemy
The people already in the position to profit most from ML technology always say: cat is out of the bag, stop thinking about the negatives and just learn to use it to make more money. Being critical of anything these days is seen as some kind of unhealthy and bad behaviour. This is all such a dumb development of society but it sadly perfectly fits into these times.
Here's the thing. I would prefer if it didn't exist if I weigh up the pros and cons. But the fact is that it's unstoppable. It cannot be made illegal and it cannot be policed. Cracked versions of Adobe software are illegal, but it's everywhere. So yes the cat is out of the bag and there is no going back. It doesn't matter if 1 billion people get angry and sign a petition, nothing will change. So with that in mind you should change your mindset to the inevitable.
@@SatoriGraphics I have to disagree with you. The ripped versions of Photoshop exist but Adobe still sells their software and people buy it. Especially big companies do not want legal issues if they can spend a reasonable amount for a product that gives them great value. There are already lawsuits against Copilot, Midjourney, SD etc. and if the courts rule copyright infringement instead of fair use, the commercial world is definitely not just going to completely ignore that. Just because a subset of people will always act opportunistic even if what they do is immoral or outright illegal doesn't mean society stops the process of determining and enforcing rules and laws. No one gives a damn about people privately playing with AI and generating visual content for fun and friends. As soon as we talk about commercial purposes its a whole different question, assuming the utilization of unconsential copyrighted or private data for training. I'm baffled that even so many artists themselves do not seem to understand that. At this point I'm asking myself if they maybe just don't want to understand or question it because they stand to potentially profit from this a lot.
If a billion people get angry everything can change. What you write, to me, reads as a classic accelerationist argument: don't fight for your rights but either join or shut up because fate is apparently already written in stone. Makes zero sense to me but I acknowledge that this seems to be a minority viewpoint.
Edit: also, I don't even prefer this technology to not exist. I have several friends who work in the field, one of them using AI for conservation purposes. We need AI to solve complex problems like climate modeling, fusion energy, etc. The image generators themselves can be a gift to humanity. Why shouldn't we celebrate that a paralyzed person for example can literally look at a screen while being filmed and thereby type words and then plug that into DALL-E to generate imagery. That is absolutely fantastic. Critique of AI is not a wholesale canceling of the tech.
A.I is just awesome 😍😍😍
AI is a blessing to us designers. Why? First, we saw that in the past 4-5 years literally millions of people suddenly became "designers". And who are they? Mostly folks who do generic beginner shit, who copy someone else's work and style, who have no knowledge of real design rules and no experience. Especially in logo design, where you have to be somewhat educated and skilled to create a fitting and stunning identity. What does AI do? AI will erase these generic "designers" from the planet, as businesses will have free accessible AI tools that completely replace those "designers". I'm talking about more than 80% of them. I fully support the development od AI as it will never be able to replace real human creativity and inteligence that comes from God. I have high hopes for AI, that it will filter out those who create real creative and FITTING (costum) designs.
Thank you for the information.
Greetings from Uruguay
For the midjourney not copying but just learning artstyle thing. I have to disagree. There are art generation where existing japan concept artbook pages text were merged into the generation. At the same time for art genre like Chinese art where seal are heavily used as signature .Ai couldnt identity it as the artist’s signature but a pattern which AI just directly pasted on the generation. They are smart trying to hide it but not smart enough.
True AI is future and we need to accept this, my favourite tool is midjourney because this has potential 👍
hotpot ai is bad in terms of their ux. When making ai art, they have a premium button that you have to press in order generate anything. But then you can't generate anything because you don't have any credits. And they claim it's free
Please am looking for some thing to assist me in pen tool
Have you given consideration to the fact that AI could generate imagery that designers may adopt and inadvertently infringe on existing trademarks? Could end up quite nasty...
We are at the point of adapt or fail stage. Very intrigued to see how this works out this year :)
exactly, those who show anger or fear are the ones who will get left behind. Leave ego out of this and just go with the flow.
Adapt has always been the way forward for technology disruption. However, we have entered a new era in which the investment cost to adapt will likely be negated by the speed at which AI is developing. In other words, by the time you adapt you are already obsolete again.
Wait for it... Wait for it... It's only in Beta. Once they roll out that subscription fee, then we will see how much "designers" rejoice. In my opinion, using this to design or create is like putting the training wheels back on.
I disagree. The future businesses that succeed in the Ai world will be the ones that have extensive data on huma behaviour by interaction with the algorithms. The more data a company has on this, the better they can reine their coding. By 2030, it will be very easy and cheap to run Ai, so the winners will be the ones who have a ton of active data. It makes sense to keep it free to use for now
@Satori Graphics Businesses will win. Designers will not. There is just something that I love about investigating trends, learning, and advancing. Ai will be the end to this. I guess this is the reason why I'm focusing my efforts on advancing my programming skills. Digital design will become just an afterthought. There will be a surplus of brands. You have to understand that the pie is not infinite. Tangibility is what humans will seek; traditional work, something we can smell, taste, and touch will gain profitability. Everyone will be the designer in your future but won't know what it really takes to gain the knowledge and experience.
There is nothing free in this world, my friend, except life itself.

Ai... is just another evolution in art. When we all learnt to draw or design. I'm pretty sure that everyone's starting point was influenced by the styles of others. That's what ai is doing now. It's using the style points of what is available and generates new art using the prompts given. It's evolution... not theft
what a positive view. It is said that nothing is 100% original..
@Satori Graphics thanks for the like and comment sir. As a time served "creative" with 2 decades of experience. I have seen many evolutions in the way art and design are approached and produced. For example, I remember typesetting in print manually. Cutting and placing individual letters and physically arranging them on printing film. Ai should not be feared, as you say... it should be embraced, utilised, and absorbed into our workflows. It is after all a tool and, that's the one thing we humans are meant to be good at using.
design the futur today never been so true
So can i use photos from this discord to my ads??
If you have a paid Midjourney Subscription
The problem with AI generated images is that it makes people think they can actually do stuff when that's not true. First of all, all they do is put a description into an algorithm. None of the actual design or imagery comes out of their mind. They didn't imagine any of it, they just decided which one looked best to them, which could have just as easily been generated by someone else. It's like the ready made version of digital art. It might look cool, but somewhere, someone else did the label design of that can of Campbell's soup for you to frame it and sell it as an "original" work of art.
AI works by understanding patterns and told that X patten is a given name as guide, being the style of the art of the image, the author, and so on.
AI works in a very similar way our own brain does, you don't create art from thin air, you use all your actual knowledge and if you come with something new, is a mix of all of it in a novel way. When you prompt an AI to generate something it's actually doing so, it's not copy-paste, it's a mixture of patterns that identify themselves to what you ask it to create.
If artists are against AI, they shouldn't even make their work visible to any other artist then, because anyone looks at other's work they will be incorporating their aesthetics into their knowledge.
Make an AI generate a specific thing and it'll come with something "similar" but not the original thing, just a resemblance.
mmm i'm doubtful in what your saying as for now its all great because its all new to us but remember as you are creating AI is learning from what we are doing and getting smarter. this could kill a lot of jobs out. it comes the big amazon art..But yes its stunning that Ai can do.
Hotspot is in early Alpha I would say :D to use some tools you need fill up a survey and hope getting access to this doubtful tool :D
Just used AI background remover - making all job by hands you get awesome results comparing with what did this app :D
So for now it seems like time waste than effective tools in you works :( Chat GPT is the best helper so far :)
Painting the issue as "to accept” or "not to accept" the technology is misleading as it dodges the real questions about the future it implies for the field of design and communication in general and the real harm it can create. Technology is only as good as we can apply it and humanity does not exactly have a great track record.
The guy who published an AI storybook being the perfect example of how AI caj devalue the human experience. Because a book, like visual design, is a form of communication in using express, cost efficient ways to produce books, you in turn destroy incentive structures for real humans to produce meaningful works, which AI works can never be, because ART and design is about communicating with other human beings through a language of words or visuals. In effect, you are playing a game of telephone charades with a robot, a non-living entity who interprets your "prompt" by remixing every single similar thing that has ever been, in a way we cannot call plagiarism for the one simple reason that the process it goes through is much too complex for anybody to comprehend, ever (though the end result is often the same).
It's like the AI who last year beat the world champion at Go, humanity's most complex game. Not only did the AI beat the best humans, it invented strategies so complex that nobody can understand them. The best way to win a tournament at Go will soon be to learn by heart the moves of an AI by interacting with it for endless hours.
It is literally destroying the game itself, the aspect that makes it human. The same will be true of every possible human endeavor we can put into an algorithm.
It is a complete shift in how we comprehend cognition. It will be a technology used to produce wonder, could bring about a utopian humanity, but only if it is used in the best, most careful of ways (it will likely not be).
I do not think it should be used to produce things like art and books, domains of human communication as it devalues all of human interaction.
That's all well and good, but what you think or what I think is irrelevant when you realise it's unstoppable
@@SatoriGraphics That's exactly key - it absolutely matters! The spread of technology may be inveitable, but being wise in how we implement it is the deciding factor in whether we use it to make our lives hell or heaven.
When we invented steam machines, the resulting industrialisation brought misery to most of the population within industrializing nations because there were no rules in place as to how workers could be treated. The technology itself was wondrous - but it took us a long time to figure out how to implement it in a way to bring wonder to most of humanity.
Personally for me Midjourney allows me to put my ideas and see what things will look like as I used to be a graphic designer but I suck at drawing and mid helps me
Same, I have absolutely no drawing talent, but I like making art. AI art is pretty cool and for my purposes it's a starting point more than the actual end goal. I think a designer with the knowledge of how to get there already can probably make something much better too because they know the fundamentals of good design. I could chuck something at the AI, but I only know what looks good to me, not the proven processes that make good designs time after time.
Maybe you should let an A.I do your videos. They will be done in a mater of minutes and they will be good. You should also think about going back to school because in a couple of years, graphic designers won't be needed anymore. The problem with A.I. and creativity is that it is not helping you going faster, it's doing the work for you. It's not a tool. To use a tool (like photoshop) you need skills. The use A.I you need to know some words...
LOL
If you think that designers or even video creators being removed and replaced by robots means I don't earn money, then you're wrong. Like I've said many times on this channel, people should have multiple revenue streams, especially these days. if you don't then you're playing with fire.
And as far as my videos go, they get a very positive feedback from a majority. Consider yourself special and a minority. I strive to offer value and to help people, what are you doing in the world apart from offering passive aggressive comments?
@@SatoriGraphics I think your video are very good and offer great value. That's not the point. English is not my first language so maybe there is a couple of word missing to make myself more precise. Sorry about that. My point is that A.I are not tools. You don't need any skills to use them. So, in regards of Human creativity maybe we should stop and rethink. Maybe it would be a good idea to make the decision as a species to leave human creativity to humans and use A.I to help us solve other kind of problems. We are the creators of those A.I. so we have the power to decide how to use it. Saying that there is nothing to do about it is, in a way, saying that we accept that commercial illustration and a big part of graphic design will no longer be done by humans in a near future. Using A.I to produce a children book in 2 days as nothing to do with creativity for me. I am not impress at all by that. I think it is sad. It seem to me that A.I. would be much more useful helping us finding cure to diseases or solution to balance our economy...
And you are right.... Reading my first comment, it sound very passive aggressive. Sorry about that.
they qre not magic, you need to understabd and repeat to get the exact o/p
Before AI artists were browsing the Pinterest, Artstation etc. and were looking for inspiration, many times collecting the references on their computers and then using them to create their own art. I think this is no different, AI collected the art from countless sources and when you do a prompt, same thing, AI looks at what data it collected on the subject and generates something new - often something not expected and utterly amazing! There always were and always will be people that will exploit this. And I think there will always be a value in "true" art, maybe even more so in the future. The two things I see a problem with - new and original art will be reduced and diluted and AI art will become more and more degenerated with each itteration, AI art will become source for AI art the will be cource for AI art, making it.. unhuman. But more scary problem I see is for the new generations of kids because everything will become even faster and more frantic than we have it now, instead of content to be created in few days it will have to be done in 10 minutes.. 6 versions in 10 minutes..
Someone said "Machines are nothing without the human capabilities behind them", and AI is a great example of this, sure you can make a children's book in two days but you have to calibrate the Intelligence in order to make it consistent, the same with the graphics, you can calibrate them, is all a backup for our work.
I think artists are so arrogant at times. My dad is an artist and I've been in design all my life. They all copy elements from each other and styles and claim it for their own. Which is still an art to me. It's funny how they complain about styles being copied 😂😂😂
artist who are nagging about midjourney are missing the point behind what makes midjourney different than their own work, AI is here to stay and no matter what u do , you wont stop its progress!
i do support midjourney and has helped me a lot in my line of work, not all artists are able to create the design that they envision in their mind, but midjourney is here to help such artists to turn their thoughts into an art !
the skill required in midjourney is to master how to use the right words together or which pictures to combine together in order to create a unique art.
take the example of smartphone cameras, when they were first introduced all photographers complained and panicked , yet now everyone is using their phone to take pictures.
Erm Free? The hotpot charges credit for everything above terrible low quality, so no where near free.
Sorry Satori, but Midjourney IS art theft. Just type in anyone's name and it'll create work based on their art style or visual language. The thing is , that wouldn't be possible without loading their artwork into the database. There is no doubt about it that it's a copyright infringement. There were several class action law suits filed against them already. Look it up.
My employer asked me about Midjourney the other day and how we could use it. They wanted to map a CAD design onto a duvet and have it in a bedroom. The "duvet in a bedroom" works, but not the mapping. It did its best, but the design was not 1:1.
What I realised from this experience is that AI is not a threat to us - it can hardly design anything cohesive - instead it's a tool we could use for our benefit. Imagine being able to cut hours of conceptualisation, to mere minutes and jump straight to designing a final product.
A.I just makes you realise how important originality is despite it being devalued by both A.I and apathetic consumers!
I hope Adobe will not buy HotPot AI 😂🙌
I am going to be very direct here and truly, i couldn't care less of what everybody will think and i don't expect anyone to care about my two cents as is their perfect right not to do so, but i find it sad to see that you are following this dumb *** trend of youtube thumbnails to look at something in awe as if our life will change dramatically if we click on this video and will miss out on everything in the graphic design world if we don't. Then again, who am i, right? Don't lose all the work you build up in these last years by following trends. Proper logos don't get caught up in trends if you get my drift.
The problem isnt technology, the problem is capitalism...
I just don't see how AI art does anything but replace creativity. If you are using it to generate ideas, you are using it to replace your own creative thinking and ideation . That story book wasn't that person's creative work of art, it was a quick way to turn a profit. Are we here doing what we do simply to just get money faster? Because then why even be a creative at all if you lean on AI to make it all for you? At that point you're not a designer or an artist, you're an editor and compiler. This whole AI business makes the whole industry just feel so empty and hollow. It proves all anyone seems to care about is bottom lines and profits. I can understand tools that are actual tools that speed up a task like colorizing photos or cropping backgrounds. But the AI art engines to me do nothing more than just replace artists and human creativity. And also economically speaking usually pay goes down with job scarcity--not up. When the competition pool is bigger that usually means people are more desperate for jobs and will take lower pay and bad work environments just to get by. I know people want to be like embrace change, and to a certain extent I agree--but also not all change is good and maybe we don't need to eat shit just because it was served to us on a platter.
do you use AI in your creations or not?
depends what I am working on. The thumbnail for this video was aided by Ai. When you remove a background from PS you are using Ai. It's in everything
