    AI video is here. Well, it's been here. It's just good now.
    Well, not "good", neccesarily. The tech is good. The ramifications of it are...less good.
    So today I want to talk about Sora, OpenAI, and AI art in general.
    Or an approximation of those things.

      This is something I don’t get either. Not only is it already being used that way intentionally (there’s been a rash of scam artists using AI of peoples’ voices to trick people to give them money, and of course there’s been a whole ton of instances of it being used to make NSFW content of people without consent), but even unintentionally when e.g., ChatGPT makes up fake legal cases for a lawyer who doesn’t bother double checking, or a teacher punishing their students because ChatGPT falsely claims it wrote their homework.
      Not to even get into cases where it could add a layer of obfuscation & reduce accountability for things that are important legal/medical/social mechanisms - like cops using AI to profile someone or fabricate evidence, or an insurance agency using AI to reject care for someone, or a bank feeding an AI your history and having it reject a loan application.
      There are so many negative implications to AI mainstreamization but it feels like everyone is fixated on the plagiarism thing. Like sure, that’s bad, but there are other, far worse things that either have already been happening, or which institutions seem to intend to make happen.

    AI has already started taking jobs is the worst part.
    Duolingo for example actually has started firing the vast majority of its staff in favor of AI for its language learning programs. Only keeping a small group of employees to fact check the AI. Hasbro just last year around Christmas fired a lot of its staff and posted up a new sheet of requirements for new hires. It just boiled down to them asking for artists capable of mimicking styles and being able to fix hands and other AI errors. Frankly, we're already fucked.

    Ai was funny when it was in its infancy and produced surreal nightmare fuel. The memes were glorious. They ain't so glorious anymore. I'll tell you what a decent use of AI is that's been used for a while: AI filler tools. Animation studios already use computer programs to accurately render physics that are way too complicated for animators to calculate. Stuff like waves splashing, snow falling, hair blowing in the wind, etc. It's still doesn't do too much, so animators still maintain the dominant controlling interest in framing a scene, moving the characters/"camera", changing the lighting, all the _actual_ art stuff while the computer does the stuff no one wants to do.

      Like those jobs, artists will survive, there are mathematicians today, but they mostly work with theory and where to apply a given model. Workers in heavily automated industries are responsible for supervisioning and programming machines.
      That said, if you want to keep working with art, you will need to focus more in the bigger picture, theory, composition. There will still be demand for this. Unfortunately tho, a lot of people will be fired.

      It cost me $2500 for a 4090 rig last year, with the ability to put out as much unlimited AI art as I want in Stable Diffusion for free, how much would I have to pay an artist to do that? Its not as expensive as hiring an artist. Unless you want to do artwork for me for 1 dollar per picture.

      if scaled up, a 100 minuate clip (at that point, a movie) would cost 10,000$ which is very,very affordable for small studios without even talking about bigger studios. Sure, it will be choppy as hell but then have humans edit and polish things out will solve most (not all, likely to be some issues that remain) issues which then you look at production cost and time involved, you'll suddenly realise that profit margins can be increased by magnitudes... In theory of course

    The rise of creative AI is understandably depressing to a lot of artists. From my view, one of the saddest points is that it's yet another case of human connection/communication being lost in day-to-day life. Instead of looking to artists, people will draw from a well of computer-generated music, art, stories, etc. Maybe that won't be us but it will probably be our grandkids.

I can never see a world where I have a tool that allows me to complete 40 hours worth of work in 4 hours and my employer going “great, just do the 4 hours and we’ll pay you the same salary” they’re gonna just make us put out 10 times more.

      ​@ But who is gonna need / consume 10 times more of "everything"? There's a point where it's just impossible to create any real demand and profit from it. And even if we somehow can, it's impossible that demand is spread out enough thru the market. Imagine if instead of getting 100 high budget movies (I don't know the actual number, it doesn't matter for the point) a year we get a thousand. There's simply no way each individual movie will turn out a profit, there's simply no demand for it, and no practical time for people to even engage with so many movies.
      Another point when it comes to AI and job replacement is that it's something that once it begins in earnest, it will quickly become mandatory to use it to even compete. Imagine an animation studio that at some point decides to say cut 20% of it's workforce while doubling the output, which is a very "tame" scenario. Well that studio's financials are going to look absurd, allow then to double down on AI and make every other studio look at that and say "hey we gotta do that too or we're fucked". In a relatively short time frame instead of one company only doing it you're gonna have basically the entire market cutting down jobs.
      This is something we're going to actually seeing happen in real time with language learning apps. Duolingo recently announced they're going to heavily use AI for a lot of it's content and fired off a 10% of it's contractors, explicitly to replace them with AI tools (language work just so happens to be one of the best current applications of AI usage). It's recent enough that we can't yet tell if that's going to turn out well for them, but if it does, I assure you - every other app will quickly do the same by sheer market pressure.
      I personally don't see how that will generate any "overall increase in quality of life" without some heavy government intervention or public outcry, and the writing is on the wall. Sora spooked mr knowledgehusk? (I'm sure that's his real name) Well he didn't even mention that Sora is actually year old tech. OpenAI didn't "finish" it now. They REVEALED it now. I guarantee you internally they have crazier shit. They explicitly slow roll their products to "allow time for society to prepare". Except now with Google Gemini, they have a real competitor and real incentive to speed up releases.
      I think the real landmark moment in this crazy AI race is going to be later this year. Once US elections are over, we're very likely getting the next GPT release and the gloves gonna be off.

People are gonna use AI shit, but I'm not gonna stop drawing neither."

    Just want to point out that you can already do stuff like what's described at 7:20 with existing techniques like inpainting. Something like Midjourney probably won't give you that sort of control because it's designed to be a beginner-friendly product, which means it's gonna be very surface-level. There are other tools out there (like the self-hosted web UIs for Stable Diffusion) that exposes all the tools, buttons, and sliders for you to mess with.

    One thing that I can't figure out is how people using AI can take and apply criticism.
    Or like...if you have an idea on what a creative work should be like, how well can the AI follow that precise vision?
    Or like...a lot of creative work comes out as well as it does because of the time spent iterating on it during production. Seeing ways it can be improved on before its completion. How well is that achieved through AI's speed?
    AI can certainly replace the work, but would it be consistently satisfying? Hard to say until we get there I guess.

      In practice what happens is you get people regenerating the same pictures and rerolling the AI gen dice again and again until they get something they are looking for, of which results in some pieces AI art taking similar spans of time to create to that of a moderately skilled human artist (2-4 hours). Of which calls into question the "speed" edge purported by AI art proponents in supposedly automating creative labor.

      A lot of people pay to watch humans play musical instruments. Idk anyone thats ever paid to watch an artist draw or paint anything.
      Id also wager that as AI get better at replicating human speech we'll begin to see fully AI music being created, from the instruments to the writing of the lyrics to the singing. A synthesizer cant do all of that , as far as im aware. When it becomes possible to make a hit record with AI instead of paying a living musician, and instead of dealing with the personalities of famous musicians, then I'd be surprised if record labels dont start pushing AI music.
      I can imagine a shite, not too distant future where an AI "personality" runs around on stage in like a future version of that Tupac hologram we saw a few years ago, "performing" an AI created song, and a stadium full of people mindlessly cheering it on like it was the second coming of the Beatles.

      @@evananderson1455 why do people look at art or listen to music? It's not just content. Not just entertainment. It's a shared human experience between the creator, and the viewer. People buy movies, TV, games, and paintings for the same reason. As long as humans have feelings they will make art, and buy it.
      Look at the art in this video. No one would say it's super high quality, but it's still far more enjoyable than the stuff a machine could generate without being guided by a person.
      Also, voice synths won't replace actors. quality isn't what matters.
      Listen to the speech generated by the best of the best . Or the best music generator. Even sora has this problem. It's always a little 'off'. Why? Because even if the machine can fake vocal inflection, it's not at the right time. It doesn't make sense emotionally. No machine can fake 'acting' that because no machine has understanding or emotion.
      The only way to get good art out of any generator is to be an artist with it. To have a human really work it, someone that knows what is good and what isn't, and that makes it a tool. For voice synths that means full control like vocaloid, or voice to voice, which still requires an actor or artist.
      What I'm saying is, like synths, these new tools are also just synths. Image synths, voice synths, etc. To make anything good with them takes work, human work.. And that is art. Some humans will use these to create art, some will use standard methods. People will always still use pianos, and paint, and cameras, and real voices. There's room for both.

I was hesitant to click this one because I recognized you as "guy who uses AI art in videos!" Maybe it's just the spaces I'm in, but I do notice a lot of people around me expressing distaste for AI art, but it's not through vocal "FUCK THIS SHIT" commentary. They express it in a sudden disinterest in a work as soon as they realize AI was involved. It's very quiet but very pronounced, and it's something you accidentally touched on with your experiment showing people art they thought was/wasn't AI.
    As one of my friends put it, "why should I get emotionally or intellectually interested in someone else's work when they very clearly didn't have enough interest in it to not pawn it off on a machine?"
    AI art DOES have a cost; people think of the people using it as hacks.
    There's also a part of me that is curious about who comprised your test sample for the "showing people art" personal test. Were they artists? What medium of art do they work with? For how long have they studied art? As AI gets better, it is going to be harder for the average joe to spot, but artists who have studied AI art and human art like to tip off other people to what they know. I don't think AI will ever get to a point where it can fool every human that looks at it.
    For example, experts at crochet get really mad if you show them AI crochet. They know what's realistic for their medium and what is impossible, or at least what is improbable for a singular human being with human timeframes and bodily limits. A picture I thought looked fine made the same friend as before say it looked like a plastic tablecloth and a spiderweb had a baby.

    In the prior videos I commented that you are underestimating this and its rapid growth. Glad to hear you acknowledge that now.

    i think the reason the “ai” doesn’t give people control is because the developers probably aren’t actually artists who understand what you need in order to properly edits videos, or make models

    I think one day AI and Human art will both be used. Larger companies will start using AI but smaller studios and indie artists will stick to human made art. Large companies need growth, so cheaping out would to push growth, even if it isn’t what consumers want. Smaller artists will have to stick to human art because it’ll be almost guaranteed quality and they need quality to survive.

    We thought that the first jobs AI would take would not be creative ones, we were so wrong

    Yer' wit is what keeps me coming back. Your content could be a black screen with you rambling and I'd still tune in. AI's got nuthin on how of the goofy you - a - be.

    I will only accept the singularity if Michelle Obama enacts a UBI. No one else is allowed to do it, it has to be Michelle Obama.

    Speaking as a non-artist, one of the biggest issues I noticed with the current state of AI is that it's empowered spammers and content farmers to churn out a wave of mediocre art, most of which looks like counterfeit Pixar (past-prime).
    It also means you can shit out a bunch of low-quality articles and fill half the page with ads for Temu and penis pills. The consequence of this being that if you're looking for quality sources of information on a more obscure topic, you're liable to drown in reworded wiki articles while the quality sources are buried in manure shoveled by unscrupulous actors.
    Worst of all, it means info warfare entering a new stage of deception and saturation, worsening pre-existing issues caused by intelligence agencies, schizos, MSM, and social media. With AI, it'll be easier than ever to flood the internet with propaganda, spam, and doctored media. Furthermore, it's already been proven that most AI have been programmed by their creators to have certain biases. When you consider also that AI get their data from the internet, you realize that the potential for disinformation is great even if the user intends to be honest.
    I doubt the singularity will happen soon (if at all), but we'll likely see these issues getting worse in addition to the creative and digital job markets becoming increasingly inhospitable. This will add pressure to the preexisting crises we're facing and if AI's side effects get bad enough, there could be regulation which will likely end in disaster, given the federal government's track record.

    I LOVE your artwork and would hate to see it replaced with anything else. It's funny, it makes me happy, and (best of all) it's something I don't see any other channel doing. I hate seeing AI images, and as a consequence I've unfollowed many history/news/nature channels because they replaced historical/scientifically accurate photos and art with fake images.
    Most people (both anti or pro AI) are - for lack of a better term - medium-illiterate and legitimately can't tell if something is done by watercolor, oil, digitally, AI, etc. I'd argue that most experienced artists *can* tell, but that's just because they see and work with art all the time. They know what to look for.

    one thing I feel tech people talking about ai and artistic creativity is they keep forgetting about one thing. Artistic creativity is not about improvement is about creation. The difference between art and technology is that unlike technology there is no improvement seeking. When you look at the technology from 1960 you can tell clearly that the technology we have now is much better, but you couldn't say that all the movies or fashion collections from the current times are better than those made in the 20th century because that is not how art works,that is how Technology works. Another thing being dismissed is that art and cretivity is not only about having a good idea, but taking control over it and going in a creative journey in the process of making it. You can ask ai to imagine a black flower with purple spikes but how you imagine it (the size, the shades of purple, the position of the flower...) that's what makes art enjoyable for the creator. I believe art will nit die as long as there is a public for it because quite frankly art is not necessary for survival so the only reason we have artists is beacause we want to be artist and people want to have artists. Art is a beautiful way to express our particukar humanity.
