As an AI Engineer as well as a massive Vocaloid fan, 1:11:40 is an incredibly factually incorrect take. Vocaloid is a genre of music that uses a type of digital instrument much like jazz or rock. The entire process of creating a vocaloid song involves 0% machine learning (or AI, whatever you want to call it) and it is 100% man-made. Now you can use AI to create vocaloid music, but that's literally exactly how you can use AI to create Jazz music. Just like the latter doesn't make "Jazz == AI", the former doesn't make "vocaloid == AI" either.
thank you for this! I was going to comment on this video as a musician that uses vocal synthesizers myself. I still have to write the lyrics and the music. The vocal instrument (because that's what it is, it's the same as a guitar or violin) then sings what I've written. There is an AI inside the vocal instrument itself that helps the melody flow like a real human voice, but I still have to bust my ass to write the music in the first place. Asmon's take is so incorrect.
calling a vocaloid an AI is like saying an electric instrument is AI. i feel like people are just spamming the AI buzzword now. anything electronic = AI lmao. asmon has some really cooked takes this vid.
@@kavishU0902 they wrote a headline a long time ago about affluenza titled "wealthy teen nearly faces consequences" a while later a rich kid assaulted a girl at a club behind a dumpster and used affluenza as an excuse.he received a slap on the wrist.
Asmon misspoke about vocaloid music. Vocaloid is a brush for a human made painting. Until AI uses it to make its own painting or make its own vocaloid it is not AI.
@@redpotates even then, it's not ai. Vocaloids are just the voices of singers (Hatsune Mikus voice is Saki Fujita) They hire the singers to basically sing every possible sound you might need to compose vocals, and the voicebank does the work of stringing it together into words and such, but even that is controlled by the person using the program, who choose how to arrange those sounds themselves
yeahhhhh the only thing a.i has to do with vocaloid is synthv and even then it's done ethically (at least from what i know,,) you still have to put effort into tuning it just sounds more realistic because it's based off of real human singing
1:11:45 vocaloids are literally a synthesizer that you have to use to compose the songs yourself by placing the notes one by one like every other synth tool, but ok, it's AI because there's an anime girl. It's literally the same thing as typing a few words and having an entire song auto-generated guys. From the guy that laughs at the boomers on facebook that don't understand technology. It's literally a fucking synth that modulates square/sine/triangle/saw waves with filters to make it sound like speech
Asmon doesnt know what a synthesizer is man lol, you can just disregard his trash opinions on topics like these, i mean look at him, even when theres people trying to explain things and correct him suddenly "it doesnt matter" or "who cares", he just doesnt want to be "wrong" hes so insufferable when he acts like that
Lmao I just wrote the same exact comment and ranted about his opinion, then found this one. But yeah, this is what I'm talking about. At least educate yourself before laughing at boomers. The software has been around for what, 15+ years now? Plenty of time to read at least the wiki description or something, before shitting on it.
It's interesting to see, since there was a period of time when *synthesizers* weren't really regarded as music. You could complement your sound with synthesized music, but if you are entirely composing songs from digital synthesis, people would roll their eyes and shrug you off. Then synthesizers got really good, and that period of time is a distant memory. While probably not the intended point Asmon was making, this will be what happens in the long term. Once it gets good enough, the tool that is AI being shrugged off will be a distant memory (for us, while younger folks embrace it like we had done with synthesizers)
Baldi is uneducated. However, while it is based on essentially the same code Yamaha's XG MIDI synth uses, it actually uses voice banks to synthesize target phonemes out of them - not simply modulating square/sine/triangle/saw waves. Sampling and the pure scope of it is what makes it a "singing" synthesizer. An example of formant-based vocal/speech synth would be Farbrausch v2. It uses no samples - just modulating the waves like you said, but it sounds nothing like "real" voices. Google "Farbrausch Candytron" for example.
Yeah also I think Asmon was talking about Vocaloid covers and not originals. I didn't know there were Vocaloid originals until I met a girl a couple of years ago who was really into it.
The Vocaloid rant was so dumb it hurts my head. Vocaloids aren't AI. They're voice synthesizers - a person still has to write the music, write the lyrics, program the AI to sing it correctly and then compose it all together. It's not AI.
@@Chemical_X13I’m just glad so many other people are commenting what I thought, I usually agree with 95% of what he says or at least see where he’s coming from but this one made no sense lol
As a hobbyists producer, that rant was really destroying my soul. But I get it, there used to be jokes about edm being "easy to make" soulless music that can be made with a press of a button and those people will never care about how deep the art can go. But it is a bit funny to me seeing it has come around full circle hearing what AI can do with classical, rock or jazz.
I'm convinced that Asmongold makes those reactions for shock value. He constantly strawmans Drew on his points. Drew says "Why can't you just tell the real story" raising a point about the ethics of it and he takes it literally on his "response" to try and sound "logical" and smart about it. "Hur cause it gets more views/money dur". Yeah man, that's obvious. That is not the point he is bringing up. And he does this the entire video. Constantly bringing up obvious points as if anyone watching and Drew didn't knew about them just to sound like he is owning people with facts and logic. Instead of actually addressing what Drew is talking about, it's a tactical way to dodge the subject because he knows giving his actual moral opinion could anger some people. It's cringey and annoying, couldn't finish the video.
Exactly how I felt! I also stopped watching part way through. All his comments on music gave me a headache. Especially when he said that AI made songs shouldn't need to be shown as made by AI.
He acted like Drew didn't know about them because Drew blatantly doesn't know about them. Drew's knowledge of AI is less than you'd get from skimming relevant wiki articles on the subject, he flat out has a view of AI that would've been incorrect back when it was still brand new, he doesn't understand or know anything about what he was trying to debunk as bad. His *entire* video can be accurately summarized as him saying "AI is bad because I don't like it" and that's it, none of the points he brings up are correct or valid.
“There’s no point in trying to ever evolve ourselves and our society into something better if a lot of people, myself included, are pieces of shit who will always act out of self-interest. Why ever try for anything? Just let bad stuff happen.” What a shocking aversion to progress coming from a guy clearly so committed to self-improvement.
He doesn't understand that regulation, tariffs, and sanctions can all be used to counteract the negativity that comes with the progress of AI. A lot of normal people would happily purchase goods produced via slave labor if it meant saving money. The reason why most products are not produced this way is due to regulation. If the US Government wanted to they could push things further by putting heavy tariffs on goods currently produced using slave labor (like phones), could outright ban the products from sale and possession in the US making it harder for normal people to acquire them and get service for them, they could make use of sanctions to curb the behavior of countries that currently use slave labor, etc. TL;DR- He mistakes the fact that we haven't currently done anything for us being unable to do anything. The average population will begin to care more and more about AI as it takes over more job sectors and pushes more of them into unemployment.
It's hard to think of an opinion I have ever heard from anyone that was so factually right, but so morally bankrupt. The man's too nihilistic to breathe.
like everything else, the internet was good when it was young and full of enthusiastic creative people doing creative things, and slowly had its soul sucked out as money and corporate interests moved in. as soon as something becomes a corporate entity, it no longer exists to create or innovate, it exists to draw as much money as possible from any place available to it.
Nah when anyone with a pulse could get on the internet it went down hill... It accelerated with the advent of smartphones. "average" people ruined the internet. It's the same with hobbies and niche interest, as soon as it get popular with the average person, its ruined. I wish people gate kept things more often.
@@ssjwes572 That's the biggest problem with AI. something being accessible to anyone is a great thing, but it still needs to have barriers to access or it becomes terrible. When only the tech nerds and people really excited about it could generate AI images, they were great, no every dipshit can go on their favorite service and do it with no problems so we get the millions of poor robot soldiers and eldritch jesuses. Same goes with the internet in general, it used to be very useful if you actually put the effort in to access it, now every 4 year old can participate on their ipad and anything useful disappears into the void.
What are you talking about? It was ALWAYS a corporate entity 😐🤦♂️ And it has nothing to do with it being new or old. It has everything to do with ACCESS. The more available the access the lower the ratio of quality to quantity will exist. Look up “Regression towards the mean”

@@sverburg I'm talking about when Siri first come out. I believe it was iPhone 4s that first had it. I was sitting around getting drunk with a bunch of buddies asking it some ignorant questions. That's how I found out that if you ask it where to hide a dead body it would open up maps, show you graveyards, ravines and wooded areas. Some kid was on the news after he got caught for actually following those directions to hide a body back in the day. Lol
I find it ironic that he says only old people would be fooled with that A.I. generated content; failing to realize that this proves that technology is advancing at astonishing rate and that by the time we grow to be senior citizens, A.I. will have evolved enough to the point that our generation cannot tell the difference between what was generated by a bot, and what the real deal is.

People are still missing a major point. No one seems to listen to the artists who make this media, music etc. AI will not be making original stuff forever and it cannot make it fit a certain mood or situation. An artist can. Eventually Artists will have no value in creating, as it is being devalued by these so called tools. It is as simple as that. You will get more and more generic art and other media made by an algorithm. Being creative is one of those rare things we all get to be able to do and it should not be ok to replace it with some bot. I'm not even talking about the money here.
the internet if filled with brainlets and sociopaths. They will drink the Kool-Aid and find themselves in the bottom of the barrell. They cannot be reasoned with.
It's an instrument that replaces human singing, that's the point. AI is going to be able to replace something that was once human made, that's the point.
This is kind of a booty reaction. He didn't really engage with Drews points at all, just went "well you can't stop it wah wah wah" to everything. Just pure nihilism.
Drew's points were all complete nonsense, what's there to engage with? Literally everything he argued was wildly reductionist logic or just incorrect. Take his pointless rant on "fulfillment" and "accomplishment" for doing art yourself as a prime example, he's acting like someone can't be proud of AI work they did because they "cheated" to get it done and he completely ignored the accessibility floor being opened for people who *can't* do these things themselves because of actual limitations stopping them.
@@KaleidosXXI driving a marathon if just as fulfilling as running a marathon. struggle is part of being human and we tend not to care about things that are easy. art is about human expression, not clicking a randomize button until it looks kinda like what you pictured.
I think asmon is buying way way WAY too much into the AI Hype and basically his only justification, which he regurgitates over and over ad nauseam is: "yeah its not good now, but it will be better in the future", source: "because I think so" and btw there are tonnes of technologies that either stopped evolving or went nowhere and got replaced, the reason you don't see these anymore is because they went nowhere and got replaced
A.I. is the modern snake oil. Whenever a "new" technology comes out everyone jumps on board claiming it will change the world. Then the hype dies down and they migrate to something else. Sure A.I. will change things up a little but in the grand scheme of things its not going to do even half the things they claim it will.
@@bruh-bn3ni Magnetic cassette tapes, optical storage in general, Mp3 players, PDA's, 5G, Cell phones are kind of plateauing now, there's tons of stuff that was replaced and didn't really keep improving. They got supplanted by a completely different idea entirely in many cases.
I remember when I noticed Google changing. A band I follow released an album; it wasn't so great imo. I fully expected it to be shredded by whomever would chose to write about it. Instead, every single article was positive, praiseworthy, fully ignoring the quality of the music, selling them as nostalgia. This band was quite notorious (hahaha, you'll get it if you know the band) for being hated because they were pretty and not "real musicians" (they are real musicians). That was their story for nearly 40 years. Then Google (and the nostalgia train) decided that they are nostalgia, and nearly 40 years of horrible articles about them don't exist any longer. weird, right?
Asmongold is wrong in comparing a manufactured product to the creative process of art. In a product the creative process happens in the design phase. You may not care how your car is built, but you may find it fascinating how the car was designed, the shape, materials, etc. That you can own a copy of it because you like the end of the creative process is what you're paying for. For traditional art, there will be one original, someone will own that, and that in of itself will have value. In digital art, the final product is the only value it has, and the original file an artist used has no value since it can be copied over and over again. Picasso painting like Michaengelo is maybe an argument Asmongold made against himself, because at that point, Picasso was doing what an AI does, imitate the style. At that point you could call him somewhat of a hack because he was just copying what someone else did. But it was the analyzing of that style, figuring out forms, deconstructing them and creatively building them up into something truly new is where he shined and came into his own.
Asmon's argument of "technology only gets better" always ignores all the technologies that failed and were eventually abandoned by history, the technologies that always get improved upon were the ones who survived
True. But also, none of us really knows the future. Arguing about who will predict correctly feels like a moot point when we'll (probably) live to find out in the future.
The fact that in such a short time they made such improvements in LMM, generative AI and video AI proves this has gone past the line, this isn't a failing technology, because its already being used by a lot of people globally.

He seems to mostly try and one-up Drew with his more “correct” answers which is why he keeps pausing. He prob knows Drew is also the more likable UA-camr (perhaps due his depression) so that might factor in to why he keeps arguing against the video.
So much of the video was about how shitty AI is now and asmondgold kept talking about AI in THE FUTURE. He's not complaining about the FUTURE, he's complaining about how it's impacting him NOW. Products he used to benefit from are now much worse RIGHT NOW. Talking about different things, and every 5 seconds he goes "oh yeah but in the future it's not gonna be like that. Then no one is gonna care" cool, that's not what he's talking about.
Asmon doesn't listen to understand unless he already agrees with the premise. He often takes an opposing position and then only listens to provide a rebuttal. That's why he so often stops the video in the middle of a sentence and tries to argue against an idea that hasn't even been fully articulated... typically resulting in him completely missing the point. He thinks that just because people don't currently care, and there isn't currently any regulation, that nothing will ever change... except for when it comes to the quality of AI produced products. In which case he will keep interrupting to say that it will get better. If AI continues to improve it could, in theory, take over most jobs. Its unrealistic to believe that the average person will continue to not care when they've been driven to unemployment. Him telling them to just get another job stems from him not having a real job for years and being out of touch with the difficulty that comes with trying to change career after your entire industry has been dissolved and you're now competing with everyone else that is in the same boat as you. This then leads to a major loss in tax revenue for the Government, directly incentivizing the regulation of AI.
@@RandomCarrot2806 In retrospect, once we have newer better versions, sure. But until we get to that stage, those first few iterations are all we have. I'd say its equally stupid to judge a technology based on pure hypothetical achievements.
@@RecliningWhale If you think it's as equally stupid to say that the technology is rapidly improving as it is to judge it based on it's current, very early, iteration, then you haven't been paying attention to the tech world for the past 3 decades. Especially when it comes to the raw computing power of machines. You are like the people of yesteryear who thought machines could never beat humans at chess, then at go, then at various video games like Starcraft etc. Same as the people who wrote off the internet as a temporary fad, and cell phones, and many many other innovations that ended up revolutionizing the world. There's a very obvious reason for why tech companies are pouring billions into the technology, because they know whoever gets there first just outright wins everything.
@@RandomCarrot2806 You're missing one key point. LLM's experienced 'rapid improvement' when the safety was taken off and they were given a larger pool of data to train from. That's the only thing that changed. Given this it stands to reason that there could be a very real upper limit to just how far they can improve given the fact that there is simply not an infinite amount of data to provide LLM's, and a lot of misinformation is outright detrimental to their improvement. It's not that I'm unaware of Moore's Law and people's love to attribute it to other forms of tech, its that I don't believe technology is magical. I'm very aware of the fact that it doesn't improve in a vacuum. LLM's improvement is due to factors that themselves have limits. Companies are pouring billions into the technology both because of the potential for savings in the labor department and due to how easy it is to mislead investors thanks to LLM's commonly being labeled as AI. The term AI carries a certain connotation that makes the laymen attribute all sorts of different properties to it, most of which are not currently based on any tangible achievements of LLM's. I don't think LLM's are a fad, and I can see the CURRENT potential that they already have. I'm just not one of those people who thinks that its magical and can continue to improve to the point of singularity. Not in its current state anyway. If we manage to solve the issue of them being highly reliant on trainable data then sure, we'll see massive improvement. As it stands, there is a very real ceiling. Also, being first in to achieve something in the tech world only serves to give you bragging rights. It doesn't guarantee any further benefit unless you can manage to patent the entire thing you've achieved and thus gatekeep the technology. Which isn't an issue for LLM's given how they work. So, other than potential for an early lead in market share, being first is irrelevant. You thinking that's important further hints at your ignorance in regard to LLM's.

Its funny to me that Asmon has complained about games being souless and prioritizing monetization over having good stories, good art, and good design. Yet in this video, he defends companies doing the same thing with music and movies using AI.

And by that logic, using stable diffusion, where you are actually tweaking the prompt more closely than most other ai images, and choosing specific algorithms for specific things isn't AI either, because it takes a similar amount of work. Vocaloids aren't really dissimilar from modern voice cloning techniques. Yes, it is a sound bank, but you have to make the sound bank, which is the hard part, and similar to training the voice model. Once you have it, it's about the same thing to use one as the other. AI isn't just machine learning, it's just any form of decision making done by a computer. If statements are technically AI, if we are going there.

What Asmongold seems to miss about Drews point is that Drew is seeing this from the perspective of an artist. As one who almost likes the process of making something more than the product. He isn't looking at this from the global scale that Asmon is insisting upon. I don't believe that Drew is thinking of the widescale global ramifications of the layman because he makes music himself and is a more artisticly minded person, completely opposite Asmon's cynical and uncaring attitude toward how we humans make things. Asmon as he said would be happy if everything around him was made up and worked by magical fairy dust for all he cares which is a bit sad almost in my mind, but that is his right to feel and think of course. Regardless it is interesting to see these very differing viewpoints be explored, at least from Asmon's side with Drew being unable to make any counter points.

Computer processing power has been increasing exponentially over the last 10 years, and is only showing signs of getting even more exponentially better.

The 4090 is roughly 280% faster than the 1080 TI despite only being like 40% bigger, all in the span of just under 5 years. “AI” is only going to accelerate this increase MASSIVELY, just look at the H100 GPU.

While it's obvious there are people that don't care while also not actually thinking about that entails for the future quality of it, it is also abundantly clear that there will always be people who despise AI generated art and their mind will not change from shallow arguments and praise for AI, let alone pettiness and petulance from people like the first guy who responded to OP's comment.
As an artist and art teacher Asmon's opinion about art is something I hear constantly and is saddening. Because there are in fact some objective truths about art and art is indeed a science. Yes you have hacks who are good at BSing to clueless people with cash and influence which muddies the waters. But even with Pollock and Mondriaan etc there is a deeper layer to what they did and not having the insight does not make that less true.
As an artist and an art teacher I would greatly hope that you understand art is 100% subjective and not objective. One person finds a blank canvas worth tons of money because the "statement" it makes, while others would find value in a drawing their child did that barely looks like the intended object. Some people enjoy dubstep, others enjoy old school country music. Some people enjoy spatter paint artworks, others enjoy photo realistic paintings. From the standpoint of something I'm very familiar with in the literature area of art, we often critique famous works of literature. In that we develop key ideas, modes, and themes. We attribute symbolism to things, and notice how "the use of the color red in this story signifies ____". But then, upon asking the author why they really chose they color red, they respond with, "idk...I like red". Art is NOT a science. You can treat it as such, but art is inherently subjective, chaotic, and truly in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes the beholder enjoys chaos, and purposefully dislikes "deeper layers".
@@projectdren806 The fact that you think there is no objectivity at all and that it is 100% subjective proves you are not an artist. There is absolutely objectivity to art. The subjectivity is solely in regards to "Do I like this experience." Literally everything you have said shows you are not an artist, you don't know anything or have any meaningful experience in the creation of art and at most enjoy art as solely surface level entertainment. There naturally HAS to be objectivity on fundamental level in order for one to plan their work, problem solve along the way, and even analysis of art obviously requires objectivity. If you want to boil art down to being I the eye of the beholder in the sense that art in it's entirety is only when someone looks at a painting or listens to a song or whatever and thinks "I like this. Therefore it's art."
@@brandonmcgregor9912 I have a formal education in art. Both in classical art history, and graphic design. There are current common trends and themes that people like, and you can attribute that to being "objective". But it's all a sham. Everyone HATED abstract art when it was being explored. Everyone HATED pointillism, everyone HATED modern art. It's not until it was done more and recognized more that people began to develop clear cut ideas as to what those styles were, and what made a "good" art in those styles. But at the core, it's all subjective. What people valued as art thousands of years ago is not the same as what we value today. That is subjective. I ask you, what do you think the purpose of art is? I say it can serve many purposes. Probably least of which is the purpose of appealing to the masses, or fitting into an objective framework. Art is, at heart, a form of expression. Sometimes that expression is taking a literal shit on a canvas and titling it "2020 a documentary". Objectively, that is just a canvas someone took a shit on. But subjectively, to some, that is genius, clever, and hilarious. Abstract Expressionism was laughed at when people produced it, but it was something the artist themselves enjoyed. It wasn't until later that we appreciated it. It wasn't objectively "good" art at the time. It wasn't until the opinions and subjectivity changed that allowed people to deem the artwork "good". I've done sit ins to draw live nude still life, I've tried to re-create arts similar to Bosch because I love the style, I've written papers on whether or not Geiger is considered an artist or pornogapher, etc. Art has been a part of most of my life, and it is anything but objective. Why? because art has so many definitions and purposes there is no real way to box it into something you can apply a ruleset to. You can try to say that blue and orange are objectively a great color theme to use in an artwork, but subjectively people may consider it overdone, boring, cliche, and a bad work of art.
59:58 "You can't make an argument that people deserve to know [that the music they are being suggested is made by AI by the streaming platform itself]" Dumbest L take Asmon has had in a looooong while I really don't understand while for all this video he's had semi-reasonable takes BUT had to be so ignorant of ethics. It's like he goes on full 'MURICAN brain mode like "yea brah its cheaper who cares company makes money profits go brrrrrrrrrrrr bro" Why is he like this sometimes. Wtf
Asmon doesn't care about ethics. He has said so multiple times. He actually has no principles and thinks everyone that does is lying or has other motives. Some people are just like that.
Honestly I’m not suprised. Streamers or UA-camrs need to have some level sociopathy to do their job. It’s helps to disconnect with other humans and push out content. I’m not suprised
It’s so great to see Asmon react to an actual great UA-camr as Drew Gooden, he could learn a thing or two. Like how not to spread misinformation and make hypocritical rants.
I have to bring up a point here... Things created by AI just aren't art. I know people will disagree, but but for centuries art has been considered the epitome of human expression. You're not allowed to copyright works made by AI, just as you're not allowed to copyright works made by an animal, such as if a monkey took a picture. And on the topic of Vocaloid, it is not AI. Vocaloid is just a library of sounds that can be modulated. That is how electronic keyboards work; they are instruments. Humans can play keyboards. AI can also play and arrange those sounds. They are not the same thing. It's an extremely bad take made in ignorance, and the fact that it's explained to Asmon and he doubles-down makes me not care about his other points. His argument would make his earlier example of AI video editing break down, as that, by this logic, would make editing itself AI in his mind. In fact, it would make everything AI, as AI can do anything it is made to do. A thing in itself is not considered AI just because AI *could* use it. L take.
Not exactly, the epitome of human expression is just considered good product and if this good product can be created by AI then it technically also found what the epitome of human expression can be and it can produce it, all of this hangs on the idea that it's good art (as subjective as that it) for a large number of people, if not then be it art made by human or ai made by sweat tears happiness or a precise algorhythm it would still just be a bad product.
@@bmxrichard21 but art is considred bad or good when it's done, not when it's in production, a movie is judged by the viewer when it is in it's released not when it is being filmed, therefore the process itself isn't really that relevant but the end product is.
@@lordcrusader861 However, the process is largely visible in the product. You can see how the painter painted with tempera and wax crayon (like Munchs Scream) The same sketches, brushstrokes, chisel marks on sculptures, or welds, seams on clothes. Examples that with art you can see the process on the product. You can't see this in manufactures/machine production. respectively, if you notice an imperfection, it is a flaw, not an advantage.
About that part where the technology just evolves continuously that is completely wrong... Machine Learning and AI has been here for quite a while and has stopped progressing multiple times we've been working on it, the only reason why it looks like it's evolving fast now is because they removed the guardrails on what data they use to train them. Basically "AI" used to only be train on a few amount of images then these "AI" companies decided to scrape the entire internet to train these shitty models to get better so the data they use to train went up from Hundreds of thousands to Billions of data. Now that they've used up the internet where will they get the data to train more especially since people are more reluctant to share more. If "AI" trains on more AI it will become a stagnant piece of shit for a long while.
Its pretty clear that Asmon doesn't understand how training a neural network works at all. Image generation AI have reached about 95% of their potential all things considered. Any training beyond that point will just result in model collapse. We will sadly still have to live with all the garbage on the internet though...
Drew is describing how easy it is to make stuff with AI that would normally take countless hours of work to make yourself. First of all, if it was all about the end product in the near future, whats stopping AI from creating the same thing someone else already did with the same effort? Like now the difference between an amateur music artist and a professional one is skill level and years of experience, if AI doesn’t require effort or experience, people would make the same stuff using AI. Drew is basically saying that using AI strips human created products of soul and individuality which robots dont have. And even from asmon’s point of view, that final product can now be created by anybody at any time, which is why it’ll become oversaturated because its the same thing, none differ in terms of quality, because anybody can make it.
1:34:28 Someone has to give a shit about the process, even if you don't give a fuck how you monitor was made if the people that made it also didn't give a fuck you wouldn't be using the same monitor, you would be using the newest monitor made by someone that did give a fuck. not everyone has to care but if no one does then humanity doesn't advance in any way.
Do you eat meat? Do you use phones? There are a 100 things in your life that you are doing right now that you know if you researched even slightly you'd find "unethical" but I will guarantee you will continue to do it. Virtue signaling is fine, but at the end of the day that's all you're doing. You care enough to be loud about it, but not really to change your behaviour.
Fucking real. They all shout about progress, this progress that but is it progress if it hurts? If people are willing to throw their morals away just to get some few bucks? Im not against AI, but im against how much they're trying to stuff it down our throat that they're doing humanity all a favor. Im pissed off that they're brave enough to scrape the whole internet of data that isn't theirs, of owned works to train their AI, but argue that it isn't stealing, did we just forget to ask suddenly that what's not yours isn't...yours? "Communism for thee, but capitalism for me" is that what they're trying to communicate here?? Is that it? The rich get richer off of this, and us peasants get some AI that tells people 1919 is 20 years ago, and regurgerates ai images stolen from millions of artists? Its easy to be disinterested when it doesn't affect you, but it will progress someway in the future where we will absolutely be affected when there are no rules placed. If you want progress, you build that damn tech, but be sure its fucken ethical goddamnit. If you claim that its progress for the human civilization, then don't make us be the fucking product to make your tech run.
Im surprised on how bad of an L take the vocaloid = ai is. That’s just blatant misinformation. You shouldn’t speak things as facts to a large audience that would probably take your word for it even after you admit that you may be ignorant (which in this case yes you are). At least it isn’t something life threatening and just vocaloid. It’s giving the same energy as people during the pandemic saying horse tranquilizer cures covid though (obviously extreme analogy as calling vocaloid ai doesn’t have consequences of that scale).
Mann, i drive an hour to work every day. Having a flying car to skip traffic and the literal terrain would make life so much better. Time is the one resource you can never get back, saving hours of your life in drive-time is a great benefit to everyone.
In one breath Asmon will shit on game publishers jumping on trends because they are created to cater to the widest enjoyment. Then when it comes to creating other things in Ai he's like "its a good thing." He only truely cares about games.
"Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow." -Kurt Vonnegut, 2006
The distinction between AI and Vocaloid is that Vocaloid is not generative. It's an instrument. You can't just say "Sing a song about whales". You have to write the song. You have to place every note in the song yourself, as if you were playing it by hand. You have to set the pitch and tone of each syllable the Vocaloid speaks. The Vocaloid program isn't generating anything at all, unlike AI art or AI music. It's the same as an electronic keyboard. Everything that comes out of a Vocaloid was put there by the human.
@@FakeEgirl i dont know much about vocaloids but i think that they need to be tuned like an instrument, versus ai music where you literally just type words. its about the effort.
@@FakeEgirl the voice in vocaloid has literally nothing to do with AI, you're basically picking a syllable and a note to sing it at and you have sliders and dials to adjust how the synthesizer pronounces it. it's no different from synthesized guitar or drums. you do not just write lyrics into it and it farts out rolling girl
I also noticed A HUGE amount of Amazon reviews being clearly AI written these days. And it's annoying as hell. I don't need a 5* Review telling me in a wall of text with empty phrases why this is a good product.
Always go straight to the negative comments to find out what could be wrong. Hopefully bots dont' fuck that up too. The last thing I want to see is bot rants about products. This is particularly true with Steam games. Look at the negative reviews and see which type of person doesn't like that product.
Just imagine what AI is gonna look like in the next 20 years, I don’t think anyone is gonna be prepared for such a massive shift in entertainment and culture as a whole.
Even though I agree, there is also a balance in all things. It may become a part of all entertainment, but whatever it ends up being will be something we can't yet comprehend.
Asmon.. 🤦♂dude.. what in the actual frack are you talking about? Fantasia came out in the 40's (yes animation predates Fantasia but..). The people who you're describing, who felt that way about animation, died out years ago (or found themselves in a very real The Hills Have Eyes situation). More importantly, you're trying to reduce art and draw a parallel to a generative medium for the sake of your own argument, when there are only a select few of us who come from the perspective of a Texan lol. Conservatives in general don't really view the medium of art or animation with any regard (even the pseudo left leaning centrist conservatives).. Learning promotes neuroplasticity and releases dopamine, serotonin etc. I mean, it is an interesting situation, that the individual who has issues with anxiety and being around other people promotes the quickest route with the least amount of effort in order to cheat himself out of a means to be happy (aka not have anxiety issues). Sun in the morning, LEARNING *ANYTHING*, Less sugar and more water would do a man a world of good.
An action being enjoyable doesn't protect it from lacking economic value. If you have to say "conservatives and centrists don't get the value" you're just throwing labels at the majority of people. If you look in your room right now you'll see clothing, furniture, food, etc. that used to be made by hand and are now mass-produced so you could afford them. Now your medium is next in line so it's somehow above any of that...
TlDr; just because something helps your anxiety about life doesn't mean other people are "cheating themselves" not appreciating your hobby. You're opinion is gonna die out like those people you hold in contempt.
@@bigpurplepops the argument is how much do they want to automate until people are at risks. If the products/work that can only be made by humans can now be automated, how far along until other branches that needs humans are to be automated too? (Lawyers, accountants, programmers, etc.) YOU are also thinking your craft is above the threat, but it won't be for too long if there are no regulations or fences placed.
@@E.G.I.L.3D There's no proof to any of the claims made, but it wouldn't be surprising if that were true, so people tend to take it as true until proven otherwise, and then if proven otherwise, you'll still have a set of people who will say "nah you're lying", which is also possibly true.
@@E.G.I.L.3D So basically, if Spotify is advertising and pushing their own music to millions of people, it will get more traction and views, thereby raising likes. It's free advertising for their own products. And pushing one song or list instead of another means the suppression of every other choice. That's how it's controlled.
I like Asmongold the gamer, even if he jump attacked his way through Elden Ring's base game. I think Asmongold the social commentator is the very DEFINITION of the Dunning-Kreuger effect. He even says himself in this video that he has no interest in learning about the distinctions on the subject he's arguing, then triples down on his devil's advocacy. All that passion without any pursuit of further knowledge to make some pseudo-intellectual fatalist, end-game capitalist narrative.
Why is asmon defending ai so much lmao ? Ofc we rather want human made music with actual meaning and passion rather than shittty music made in 20 minutes or less ?
Why is it that every image tagged with AI gets significantly fewer views as the same image but pretending to be human made? Why does spotify even bother with pretending their AI music is made by real artists if people wouldn't care either way? Asmon seems to think people don't care, but reality seems to contradict him pretty much always.
If it sounds good why do you care if it was made by a person or ai? Meaning and passion are worthless in reality. Only quality. And eventually ai will overtake humanity in quality.

@@thecipher8495 the only close to AI i've seen being put out is the AI of the guy getting the avatar to learn how to walk and etc, the rest is being force fed information to just copy the rest which is basically computer generated none of those tools learnt how to do stuff itself from scratch.
Asmon is like that one friend nobody likes hanging out with because he has an opinion and answer on everything, completely unaware how annoying they really are. 😂
16:52 you're missing one of the biggest factors which is that many of the people on faacebook are from poorer countries that are less developed and also more religious, religiosity is just an easy avenue to exploit in people who are naive to a lot of modern society.
@@Gankstomper You need a more sophisticated view of religion. 'Lol sky daddy' is what lazy people say because it's easy. Far more intelligent people than either of us are religious. Find out why. You might understand why people have faith from a logical, psychological or ontological perspective. Or you can stick with magic sky fairy. Path of least resistance, y'know.
@@_uncredited You know nothing about my knowledge or view of religion based on a single one sentence UA-cam comment. Someone that would jump to that wild of a conclusion based on nothing probably shouldn't be talking down to others. Pretty embarrassing to say the least, apparently you throw reason out the window if someone says words you don't like.
as someone who went to church they actively teach you to disregard logic and common sense as "human arrogance" and praise blind faith. If your blind faith works out that's god's plan and why you should trust in invisible forces with no evidence.
@@Gankstomper Dude, honestly this guy was just trying to suggest you open your mind a little. He obv doesn't know you or your stances/knowledge on religion and was going off of what you wrote. Which was an inflammatory statement about religion. How are you getting defensive about this? It's just a joke, right?
@@KindaIWantToish It sounds similar but the process is completely different, also no, no it's not there are AI image generative programs but not all AI is an AI image generative program.
Gemini is dogshit, copilot is kinda cool and easy to jailbreak. In general AI is making the internet suck. Dead internet theory is sounding more legit by the day.
@@Diogo85 have you seen the quality of the average article and blog post over the last year or so, and how almost every one uses the same language structure and turns of phrase? Or how the same information is in different places spun in a way that changes words for synonyms and alters the structure a little to avoid getting flagged as plagiarism? All that is AI and is starting to represent the majority of the content output out there.
Asmongold doesn't understand that it's the journey of becoming an artist that is satisfying and not the end of the journey, of course people don't realize that but that doesn't mean it has no value. It's the same thing as watching a series and just watching the first and last episode, you won't feel the same satisfaction and emotion as the person who saw the story develop, that's why "Ai artists" only care about views and money, because they will quickly lose the satisfaction of doing ai art and will start looking for other ways to get dopamine.
25:40 This is definitely a problem that is much worse on twitter than any other social media website. You're deluding yourself if you don't think Elon has made twitter a million times worse by giving a financial incentive for these things to exist. The difference is that twitter promotes this shit by putting these at the very top, regardless of user engagement, and that makes the whole experience so much worse.
Ah yes…the “duh; people watch documentaries specifically for the misinformed but oddly satisfying and entertaining parts rather than the facts of the thing that originally piqued their interest” argument. Brilliant.
1:13:14 a human riding the lyrics, in composing the music, and using the machine to mix what they've made and executed is different from someone riding a prompt, and having the machine right compose and synthesize the music
Bringing up Vader to say people only see bad AI is a poor execution of his point as there has been nothing released that contained Vader since James Earl Jones signed off on using AI to replace his voice acting
I think you could argue that not telling consumers that things are made by AI is false advertising because most of those products credit a fake person as the creator as if it's made by a real person, so it's presenting to paying customer that it isn't AI before they consume it. I'm surprised at Asmon take on not telling the consumers that things are made by AI because he is usually against false advertising.
This was a bit painful to watch tbh. You're pausing too much just to repeat essentially the same arguments. It also seems as if you already set your mind before watching the video to not let it budge your opinion even a tiny bit. I mostly agree with Asmon, but the dude in the video does bring some few good points.
I think the most annoying thing is when ur listening to someone u respect and they diss on psychedelics and chemistry without any knowledge of it at all
Technologies that failed to meet expectations : -flying cars, -nuclear engines, -holograms, -VR, -drones, -3D printing, -humanoid robots, -chemicals, -antibiotics, -vitamins. Just the ones on top my head.

The thing about a lot of animated movies that give you the feels is that there's people still behind the scenes writing animating and tweaking to give it that human feel. If you're going for the most realistic animation, there will still be that uncanny valley.
1:36:10 it threatens purely human artists because we literally CANNOT COMPETE. Basically ALL projects exist through having the financial means to make it, and if it takes ai like 10 seconds and me 2 years to make an entire movie, ALL funding will OBVIOUSLY go towards the more efficient process. Art made by humans will be brought down from these awesome years long projects by thousands of different people specializing in hundreds of different fields to basically only what you and maybe a group of friends YOU'RE NOT PAYING could make in your spare time from work. It would be impossible to make it your job, and our entire culture of human made art will die.
but yes, i agree that just ai art existing on its own removed from its consequences is fine and valid. Its what it would do to our literal defining trait of humanity thats my issue.
You missed the part where humans can curate dataset of only real & human-created content, while eschewing AI generated content from the dataset. It can and does work even now.
I feel like it might turn into a "enjoy it while you can" type of thing. Udio and Suni are getting sued right now. So depending where it goes, they might not even exist soon since they're clearly using copyrighted stuff to build their models. And doubt it would even work without it. Same goes for most AI models if there's legal precedent on this.
@@theSato What's the point of AI if humans need to curate for it? Doesn't that just create an extra layer of busy work to achieve the level of quality which humans could already achieve in the first place? Why not just hire an artist if you have to hire someone to curate AI work anyway?
@@None38389You have your terms....wrong. AI will never achieve what you think, it's AGI or ASI, the point of the narrowed AI is to be a tool, the next level is when the AI doesn't need instructions and can update itself and we're far from that but it's still important to keep the development because the endgame is precisely to achieve the general AI that can support itself.
To me is pretty clear. Asmond is OK with this because he is not a "creator", he just comments on other people's videos, something that AI will never get to do. I am not even mentioning that his "Opinions" are just from a regular guy like me, which is acceptable by the way. All you said is garbage, really. BTW: Drew is not wrong, I felt the same thing.
flying cars would be extremely fucking usefull if they never fell down. The reason home prices are so high is because we have no space to have enough for everyone in big cities. Terminally on the internet has made you awkwardly confidently wrong.
Everyone with basic knowledge about how AI works when the AI craze was starting: "AI is trash, and just steals everyone else's work." People's response: "shut up boomer, AI is the future."
I love how people just flat out ignore how the human brain works when making this argument. You only know anything that you currently know about music, because you have listened to thousands of songs throughout your life. You absorbing those styles, contexts and distinctions, and then producing your own music using the things you've learned from your experience listening to every song you've ever listened to, is functionally no different than an AI being "trained" on libraries of songs. The only real difference is that an AI can do it faster. To be clear, I'm not saying BETTER, but certainly faster. You are not expected to pay royalties to the creator of every song you've ever listened to, whenever you create a song, but you are 100% using the things you've learned from their work to produce your own. Yes AI is in its infancy, so its still very flawed, but I do not see any ethical reasons that an AI produced piece of art in any medium, should be regulated any differently than a human, except that I don't think an AI generated content should be eligible for any copyright, but copyright law is already a screwed up sack of bullcrap at this point so thats a debate for another time xD
@@andyb3522 Guess you missed the part about "anybody with basic knowledge of how AI works." I get it, AI is "trained" on data, but at the end of the day it's just stealing other people's work to create unoriginal derivatives. Yes, it will be a useful tool to generate media without paying people to create media, but there's no real originality to it, regardless of people comparing training AI with human learning. I'll take media created by people that have learned their craft over the years while being influenced by life's experiences over anything generated by a lifeless robot any day of the week. That's my personal choice, and I am going to stick to it.
@@TyrianHaze A generative "AI" steals the work that its trained on about as much as any human who creates music who has listened to music before. Its not stealing to LEARN from something. Your brain functionally does the same thing. Your personal choice is valid and I advocate for your power to continue to make that choice. But AI is no more a thief than anybody who writes music after having spent their whole life listening to and being influenced by the music from other artists. Call them lifeless Robots all you want. But I think your opinion of the sanctity of human created art is based on the fact that you havent heard all the AWFUL music people have made that you would probably consider "lifeless" and "soulless" as well. And there far more AWFUL music and artwork than there is GOOD music and artwork. And to be fair to you here, I agree that AI is unlikely to reach the quality that the worlds great artists can produce. But they can easily replace the soulless wannabe's who might know how to draw or play an instrument, but lack creativity, and yet still charge a lot of money for a commission due to their "skill". Its basically just replacing the "execution" part of the task. But it wont replace the creativity, you are correct. Hence why theyre just likely to be tools.
@@andyb3522 You keep trying to explain to me how AI works when I already told you twice that I understand how it works. When I say I understand how it works, I mean that I have actually worked with machine learning algorithms and coded the programs myself, not just typed some BS into a text box. Whatever the case, you are not going to convince me. I've heard all of that BS plenty of times before, and I am simply not buying those BS arguments that were thought up by the very people using AI to steal people's work.
@@TyrianHaze I didnt make any assumptions about your knowledge about AI, I criticized your wording that its somehow being used to "steal" other peoples work. Then I compared the functionality to the way YOUR BRAIN uses past experiences to create new ideas. Call it BS all you want. Its no more BS than your alleged background having "coded the programs" yourself. Dont think youll convince me with a half assed combination of buzz words like "machine learning algorithm". I am all too familiar with neural networks, tokenization, input vectors, bias vectors, input and output weight matrices and Im also very familiar with people trying to pretend they know all about AI. Nice try though.
Art is subjective but that swill is not art. The same way most of what people call art isn’t art. Art is the most advanced form of communication. Where the art can tell you a million things and make you feel a certain way. AI cannot do that because AI cannot think or feel.
I mostly agree with his points, only one thing THE VOCALOID PART I don't know about the recent ones, but voicebanks are just recordings of a voice actor you use the software to synthesize it, that's it nothing is generated
Actually he is wrong about Pollock. not about it being good or bad, but about it being hard. scientists scanned his "Drip" artworks, and found that the uniformity of the percentage of negative to positive space was almost 100%. This was within a grid with squares as small as centimeters. uniform percentage in each square throughout the entire area almost 100% In other words it is a scientific fact that what he did was extremely difficult to do. The reason people use him as an example when talking about easy art to do all the time is because they don't understand what he actually did. The way he did it, in the time frame he did it, while being almost constantly drunk is nothing short of amazing. difficulty wise blows Vermeer out of the water.
You're completely missing the point. The fact scientists have to scan it and quantify the skill is lost in the sauce. To everybody else, it's simple stuff. And you sound like a complete nerd arguing that his artwork is super complicated.
@@KindaIWantToish You miss the point, out of thousands of artists only a hand full stand out, it's simply irrelevent if that process was hard or easy for them to do and the likleyhood is that it will be easy for them while damn near impossible for everyone else to do. As is right about the process being irrelvent. Sure everyone else can do a Pollock like painting but will it resinate with the consumer? Out of thousands of artists there are literally one one or two that stand out as unquie, the question As is not asking is without being consciously aware can AI create something unquie that will capture the imagination of the consumer? If you look at sales of art it's been on the decline for decades, and am not talking about traditional art like painting am talking TV shows and movies.
@@terrytees ?? Pollock doesn't resonate with most consumers, just art nerds that care about the process. Just like that first image of a black hole. It's special to those that care about the background, to everybody else it's an ugly, blurry donut. AI art is a tool, not some weird primordial pool that consumes and generates art.

Yes, but not for the same reasons most people think. The Name Image Likeness stuff is going to kick in with college student athletes first.

As an AI Engineer as well as a massive Vocaloid fan,
1:11:40 is an incredibly factually incorrect take.
Vocaloid is a genre of music that uses a type of digital instrument much like jazz or rock. The entire process of creating a vocaloid song involves 0% machine learning (or AI, whatever you want to call it) and it is 100% man-made.
Now you can use AI to create vocaloid music, but that's literally exactly how you can use AI to create Jazz music. Just like the latter doesn't make "Jazz == AI", the former doesn't make "vocaloid == AI" either.
thank you for this! I was going to comment on this video as a musician that uses vocal synthesizers myself.
I still have to write the lyrics and the music. The vocal instrument (because that's what it is, it's the same as a guitar or violin) then sings what I've written. There is an AI inside the vocal instrument itself that helps the melody flow like a real human voice, but I still have to bust my ass to write the music in the first place. Asmon's take is so incorrect.
as an FL studio hobbyist, i was like 'wtf is bro talking about rn' lol
calling a vocaloid an AI is like saying an electric instrument is AI. i feel like people are just spamming the AI buzzword now. anything electronic = AI lmao. asmon has some really cooked takes this vid.

Asmon misspoke about vocaloid music. Vocaloid is a brush for a human made painting. Until AI uses it to make its own painting or make its own vocaloid it is not AI.
@@redpotates even then, it's not ai. Vocaloids are just the voices of singers (Hatsune Mikus voice is Saki Fujita)
They hire the singers to basically sing every possible sound you might need to compose vocals, and the voicebank does the work of stringing it together into words and such, but even that is controlled by the person using the program, who choose how to arrange those sounds themselves
yeahhhhh the only thing a.i has to do with vocaloid is synthv and even then it's done ethically (at least from what i know,,) you still have to put effort into tuning it just sounds more realistic because it's based off of real human singing

1:11:45 vocaloids are literally a synthesizer that you have to use to compose the songs yourself by placing the notes one by one like every other synth tool, but ok, it's AI because there's an anime girl. It's literally the same thing as typing a few words and having an entire song auto-generated guys. From the guy that laughs at the boomers on facebook that don't understand technology. It's literally a fucking synth that modulates square/sine/triangle/saw waves with filters to make it sound like speech
Asmon doesnt know what a synthesizer is man lol, you can just disregard his trash opinions on topics like these, i mean look at him, even when theres people trying to explain things and correct him suddenly "it doesnt matter" or "who cares", he just doesnt want to be "wrong"
hes so insufferable when he acts like that
Lmao I just wrote the same exact comment and ranted about his opinion, then found this one.
But yeah, this is what I'm talking about. At least educate yourself before laughing at boomers.
The software has been around for what, 15+ years now? Plenty of time to read at least the wiki description or something, before shitting on it.
It's interesting to see, since there was a period of time when *synthesizers* weren't really regarded as music. You could complement your sound with synthesized music, but if you are entirely composing songs from digital synthesis, people would roll their eyes and shrug you off.
Then synthesizers got really good, and that period of time is a distant memory.
While probably not the intended point Asmon was making, this will be what happens in the long term. Once it gets good enough, the tool that is AI being shrugged off will be a distant memory (for us, while younger folks embrace it like we had done with synthesizers)
Baldi is uneducated. However, while it is based on essentially the same code Yamaha's XG MIDI synth uses, it actually uses voice banks to synthesize target phonemes out of them - not simply modulating square/sine/triangle/saw waves. Sampling and the pure scope of it is what makes it a "singing" synthesizer.
An example of formant-based vocal/speech synth would be Farbrausch v2. It uses no samples - just modulating the waves like you said, but it sounds nothing like "real" voices. Google "Farbrausch Candytron" for example.
Yeah also I think Asmon was talking about Vocaloid covers and not originals. I didn't know there were Vocaloid originals until I met a girl a couple of years ago who was really into it.
The Vocaloid rant was so dumb it hurts my head. Vocaloids aren't AI. They're voice synthesizers - a person still has to write the music, write the lyrics, program the AI to sing it correctly and then compose it all together.
It's not AI.
its the first rare L for asmon but only cause he probably has never interacted with the vocaloids like hatsune miku

But I get it, there used to be jokes about edm being "easy to make" soulless music that can be made with a press of a button and those people will never care about how deep the art can go.

"well why would i care" a real only my opinion matters arguement
I'm convinced that Asmongold makes those reactions for shock value. He constantly strawmans Drew on his points. Drew says "Why can't you just tell the real story" raising a point about the ethics of it and he takes it literally on his "response" to try and sound "logical" and smart about it. "Hur cause it gets more views/money dur". Yeah man, that's obvious. That is not the point he is bringing up. And he does this the entire video. Constantly bringing up obvious points as if anyone watching and Drew didn't knew about them just to sound like he is owning people with facts and logic. Instead of actually addressing what Drew is talking about, it's a tactical way to dodge the subject because he knows giving his actual moral opinion could anger some people. It's cringey and annoying, couldn't finish the video.
Exactly how I felt! I also stopped watching part way through.
All his comments on music gave me a headache. Especially when he said that AI made songs shouldn't need to be shown as made by AI.
@@autumnblizzardThat was a deranged comment 😭
true
He acted like Drew didn't know about them because Drew blatantly doesn't know about them. Drew's knowledge of AI is less than you'd get from skimming relevant wiki articles on the subject, he flat out has a view of AI that would've been incorrect back when it was still brand new, he doesn't understand or know anything about what he was trying to debunk as bad. His *entire* video can be accurately summarized as him saying "AI is bad because I don't like it" and that's it, none of the points he brings up are correct or valid.

“There’s no point in trying to ever evolve ourselves and our society into something better if a lot of people, myself included, are pieces of shit who will always act out of self-interest. Why ever try for anything? Just let bad stuff happen.”
What a shocking aversion to progress coming from a guy clearly so committed to self-improvement.
He doesn't understand that regulation, tariffs, and sanctions can all be used to counteract the negativity that comes with the progress of AI. A lot of normal people would happily purchase goods produced via slave labor if it meant saving money. The reason why most products are not produced this way is due to regulation. If the US Government wanted to they could push things further by putting heavy tariffs on goods currently produced using slave labor (like phones), could outright ban the products from sale and possession in the US making it harder for normal people to acquire them and get service for them, they could make use of sanctions to curb the behavior of countries that currently use slave labor, etc.
TL;DR- He mistakes the fact that we haven't currently done anything for us being unable to do anything. The average population will begin to care more and more about AI as it takes over more job sectors and pushes more of them into unemployment.
That’s his depression talking.

like everything else, the internet was good when it was young and full of enthusiastic creative people doing creative things, and slowly had its soul sucked out as money and corporate interests moved in. as soon as something becomes a corporate entity, it no longer exists to create or innovate, it exists to draw as much money as possible from any place available to it.
No it was good when it created by mostly libertarians. Then the system took it over and made it awful

This band was quite notorious (hahaha, you'll get it if you know the band) for being hated because they were pretty and not "real musicians" (they are real musicians).

Then Google (and the nostalgia train) decided that they are nostalgia, and nearly 40 years of horrible articles about them don't exist any longer. weird, right?
Asmongold is wrong in comparing a manufactured product to the creative process of art. In a product the creative process happens in the design phase. You may not care how your car is built, but you may find it fascinating how the car was designed, the shape, materials, etc. That you can own a copy of it because you like the end of the creative process is what you're paying for.
For traditional art, there will be one original, someone will own that, and that in of itself will have value. In digital art, the final product is the only value it has, and the original file an artist used has no value since it can be copied over and over again.
Picasso painting like Michaengelo is maybe an argument Asmongold made against himself, because at that point, Picasso was doing what an AI does, imitate the style. At that point you could call him somewhat of a hack because he was just copying what someone else did. But it was the analyzing of that style, figuring out forms, deconstructing them and creatively building them up into something truly new is where he shined and came into his own.
Isn't that what makes a professional; tracing and copying other artists; NOT for profit, but to learn.

So much of the video was about how shitty AI is now and asmondgold kept talking about AI in THE FUTURE. He's not complaining about the FUTURE, he's complaining about how it's impacting him NOW. Products he used to benefit from are now much worse RIGHT NOW. Talking about different things, and every 5 seconds he goes "oh yeah but in the future it's not gonna be like that. Then no one is gonna care" cool, that's not what he's talking about.
Asmon doesn't listen to understand unless he already agrees with the premise. He often takes an opposing position and then only listens to provide a rebuttal. That's why he so often stops the video in the middle of a sentence and tries to argue against an idea that hasn't even been fully articulated... typically resulting in him completely missing the point.
He thinks that just because people don't currently care, and there isn't currently any regulation, that nothing will ever change... except for when it comes to the quality of AI produced products. In which case he will keep interrupting to say that it will get better. If AI continues to improve it could, in theory, take over most jobs. Its unrealistic to believe that the average person will continue to not care when they've been driven to unemployment. Him telling them to just get another job stems from him not having a real job for years and being out of touch with the difficulty that comes with trying to change career after your entire industry has been dissolved and you're now competing with everyone else that is in the same boat as you.
This then leads to a major loss in tax revenue for the Government, directly incentivizing the regulation of AI.

@@RandomCarrot2806 You're missing one key point. LLM's experienced 'rapid improvement' when the safety was taken off and they were given a larger pool of data to train from. That's the only thing that changed. Given this it stands to reason that there could be a very real upper limit to just how far they can improve given the fact that there is simply not an infinite amount of data to provide LLM's, and a lot of misinformation is outright detrimental to their improvement.
It's not that I'm unaware of Moore's Law and people's love to attribute it to other forms of tech, its that I don't believe technology is magical. I'm very aware of the fact that it doesn't improve in a vacuum. LLM's improvement is due to factors that themselves have limits.
Companies are pouring billions into the technology both because of the potential for savings in the labor department and due to how easy it is to mislead investors thanks to LLM's commonly being labeled as AI. The term AI carries a certain connotation that makes the laymen attribute all sorts of different properties to it, most of which are not currently based on any tangible achievements of LLM's.
I don't think LLM's are a fad, and I can see the CURRENT potential that they already have. I'm just not one of those people who thinks that its magical and can continue to improve to the point of singularity. Not in its current state anyway. If we manage to solve the issue of them being highly reliant on trainable data then sure, we'll see massive improvement. As it stands, there is a very real ceiling.
Also, being first in to achieve something in the tech world only serves to give you bragging rights. It doesn't guarantee any further benefit unless you can manage to patent the entire thing you've achieved and thus gatekeep the technology. Which isn't an issue for LLM's given how they work. So, other than potential for an early lead in market share, being first is irrelevant. You thinking that's important further hints at your ignorance in regard to LLM's.

@@zetp3131No kidding, people out here trying to predict the future without even knowing about the thing are talking about.
And by that logic, using stable diffusion, where you are actually tweaking the prompt more closely than most other ai images, and choosing specific algorithms for specific things isn't AI either, because it takes a similar amount of work. Vocaloids aren't really dissimilar from modern voice cloning techniques. Yes, it is a sound bank, but you have to make the sound bank, which is the hard part, and similar to training the voice model. Once you have it, it's about the same thing to use one as the other.
AI isn't just machine learning, it's just any form of decision making done by a computer. If statements are technically AI, if we are going there.
I was recently travelling with a friend who is half my age. Their phone died. No GPS. I said, “it’s 3pm. The sun is on our right. That means we are headed south.” It’s called Dead Reconning. They said, “I don’t know anything about that. My GPS is down. I’m screwed.” No, we’re screwed if this is the way things go
What Asmongold seems to miss about Drews point is that Drew is seeing this from the perspective of an artist. As one who almost likes the process of making something more than the product. He isn't looking at this from the global scale that Asmon is insisting upon. I don't believe that Drew is thinking of the widescale global ramifications of the layman because he makes music himself and is a more artisticly minded person, completely opposite Asmon's cynical and uncaring attitude toward how we humans make things.
Asmon as he said would be happy if everything around him was made up and worked by magical fairy dust for all he cares which is a bit sad almost in my mind, but that is his right to feel and think of course.
Regardless it is interesting to see these very differing viewpoints be explored, at least from Asmon's side with Drew being unable to make any counter points.
AI is worth too much money to the corporations for them to give a single damn what the average person thinks about AI. Striking will only accelerate the transition and put the actors and writers in a situation where the strike prevents them from even trying to compete with it as it takes over.

A movie studio, for example, could decide to use an AI replication of an actor's voice instead of paying that actor to give a performance. Even if it costs them customers, they won't care; as long as the loss in revenue is less than the cost of hiring the actor, they still make a profit.

Computer processing power has been increasing exponentially over the last 10 years, and is only showing signs of getting even more exponentially better.
Just use literally all Nvidia GPUs for example. The 1080 TI came out in 2017, compare that to the 4090 which came out in October 2022. The 4090 is roughly 280% faster than the 1080 TI despite only being like 40% bigger, all in the span of just under 5 years.
“AI” is only going to accelerate this increase MASSIVELY, just look at the H100 GPU.

Even just look at human history. Our species love of art has overwhelmingly not simply been "Oooo, pretty to look at." It's knowing the a human crated something beautiful. And the more important question today that people who champion AI art need to ask themselves is why they think it will be better quality if AI does it. AI literally trains off the work of humans. You'll just get more garbage. Then consider AI inbreeding (it's actually a thing. Look into it).
Then look at Late Night with The Devil. People loved it, then people changed their mind when they learned AI was used to make it.

As an artist and art teacher Asmon's opinion about art is something I hear constantly and is saddening. Because there are in fact some objective truths about art and art is indeed a science. Yes you have hacks who are good at BSing to clueless people with cash and influence which muddies the waters. But even with Pollock and Mondriaan etc there is a deeper layer to what they did and not having the insight does not make that less true.
One has to have the experience to understand. We have to protect each other in these hard times. Build kingdom of only people with experiences.
As an artist and an art teacher I would greatly hope that you understand art is 100% subjective and not objective. One person finds a blank canvas worth tons of money because the "statement" it makes, while others would find value in a drawing their child did that barely looks like the intended object. Some people enjoy dubstep, others enjoy old school country music. Some people enjoy spatter paint artworks, others enjoy photo realistic paintings.
From the standpoint of something I'm very familiar with in the literature area of art, we often critique famous works of literature. In that we develop key ideas, modes, and themes. We attribute symbolism to things, and notice how "the use of the color red in this story signifies ____". But then, upon asking the author why they really chose they color red, they respond with, "idk...I like red".
Art is NOT a science. You can treat it as such, but art is inherently subjective, chaotic, and truly in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes the beholder enjoys chaos, and purposefully dislikes "deeper layers".
@@projectdren806 Yeah true
@@projectdren806 The fact that you think there is no objectivity at all and that it is 100% subjective proves you are not an artist. There is absolutely objectivity to art. The subjectivity is solely in regards to "Do I like this experience." Literally everything you have said shows you are not an artist, you don't know anything or have any meaningful experience in the creation of art and at most enjoy art as solely surface level entertainment.
There naturally HAS to be objectivity on fundamental level in order for one to plan their work, problem solve along the way, and even analysis of art obviously requires objectivity. If you want to boil art down to being I the eye of the beholder in the sense that art in it's entirety is only when someone looks at a painting or listens to a song or whatever and thinks "I like this. Therefore it's art."
@@brandonmcgregor9912 I have a formal education in art. Both in classical art history, and graphic design.
There are current common trends and themes that people like, and you can attribute that to being "objective". But it's all a sham.
Everyone HATED abstract art when it was being explored. Everyone HATED pointillism, everyone HATED modern art. It's not until it was done more and recognized more that people began to develop clear cut ideas as to what those styles were, and what made a "good" art in those styles.
But at the core, it's all subjective. What people valued as art thousands of years ago is not the same as what we value today. That is subjective.
I ask you, what do you think the purpose of art is? I say it can serve many purposes. Probably least of which is the purpose of appealing to the masses, or fitting into an objective framework.
Art is, at heart, a form of expression. Sometimes that expression is taking a literal shit on a canvas and titling it "2020 a documentary".
Objectively, that is just a canvas someone took a shit on. But subjectively, to some, that is genius, clever, and hilarious.
Abstract Expressionism was laughed at when people produced it, but it was something the artist themselves enjoyed. It wasn't until later that we appreciated it.
It wasn't objectively "good" art at the time. It wasn't until the opinions and subjectivity changed that allowed people to deem the artwork "good".
I've done sit ins to draw live nude still life, I've tried to re-create arts similar to Bosch because I love the style, I've written papers on whether or not Geiger is considered an artist or pornogapher, etc.
Art has been a part of most of my life, and it is anything but objective. Why? because art has so many definitions and purposes there is no real way to box it into something you can apply a ruleset to.
You can try to say that blue and orange are objectively a great color theme to use in an artwork, but subjectively people may consider it overdone, boring, cliche, and a bad work of art.

It’s so great to see Asmon react to an actual great UA-camr as Drew Gooden, he could learn a thing or two. Like how not to spread misinformation and make hypocritical rants.
I have to bring up a point here... Things created by AI just aren't art. I know people will disagree, but but for centuries art has been considered the epitome of human expression. You're not allowed to copyright works made by AI, just as you're not allowed to copyright works made by an animal, such as if a monkey took a picture.
And on the topic of Vocaloid, it is not AI. Vocaloid is just a library of sounds that can be modulated. That is how electronic keyboards work; they are instruments. Humans can play keyboards. AI can also play and arrange those sounds. They are not the same thing. It's an extremely bad take made in ignorance, and the fact that it's explained to Asmon and he doubles-down makes me not care about his other points. His argument would make his earlier example of AI video editing break down, as that, by this logic, would make editing itself AI in his mind. In fact, it would make everything AI, as AI can do anything it is made to do. A thing in itself is not considered AI just because AI *could* use it. L take.
Thank you, this is well articulated
Not exactly, the epitome of human expression is just considered good product and if this good product can be created by AI then it technically also found what the epitome of human expression can be and it can produce it, all of this hangs on the idea that it's good art (as subjective as that it) for a large number of people, if not then be it art made by human or ai made by sweat tears happiness or a precise algorhythm it would still just be a bad product.
@@lordcrusader861lulw. Art is not only product, it is process too.

About that part where the technology just evolves continuously that is completely wrong... Machine Learning and AI has been here for quite a while and has stopped progressing multiple times we've been working on it, the only reason why it looks like it's evolving fast now is because they removed the guardrails on what data they use to train them.
Basically "AI" used to only be train on a few amount of images then these "AI" companies decided to scrape the entire internet to train these shitty models to get better so the data they use to train went up from Hundreds of thousands to Billions of data. Now that they've used up the internet where will they get the data to train more especially since people are more reluctant to share more. If "AI" trains on more AI it will become a stagnant piece of shit for a long while.
🤔
Its pretty clear that Asmon doesn't understand how training a neural network works at all. Image generation AI have reached about 95% of their potential all things considered. Any training beyond that point will just result in model collapse. We will sadly still have to live with all the garbage on the internet though...
Drew is describing how easy it is to make stuff with AI that would normally take countless hours of work to make yourself. First of all, if it was all about the end product in the near future, whats stopping AI from creating the same thing someone else already did with the same effort? Like now the difference between an amateur music artist and a professional one is skill level and years of experience, if AI doesn’t require effort or experience, people would make the same stuff using AI. Drew is basically saying that using AI strips human created products of soul and individuality which robots dont have. And even from asmon’s point of view, that final product can now be created by anybody at any time, which is why it’ll become oversaturated because its the same thing, none differ in terms of quality, because anybody can make it.
1:34:28 Someone has to give a shit about the process, even if you don't give a fuck how you monitor was made if the people that made it also didn't give a fuck you wouldn't be using the same monitor, you would be using the newest monitor made by someone that did give a fuck. not everyone has to care but if no one does then humanity doesn't advance in any way.

Its easy to be disinterested when it doesn't affect you, but it will progress someway in the future where we will absolutely be affected when there are no rules placed.

The distinction between AI and Vocaloid is that Vocaloid is not generative. It's an instrument. You can't just say "Sing a song about whales". You have to write the song. You have to place every note in the song yourself, as if you were playing it by hand. You have to set the pitch and tone of each syllable the Vocaloid speaks. The Vocaloid program isn't generating anything at all, unlike AI art or AI music. It's the same as an electronic keyboard. Everything that comes out of a Vocaloid was put there by the human.

More importantly, you're trying to reduce art and draw a parallel to a generative medium for the sake of your own argument, when there are only a select few of us who come from the perspective of a Texan lol. Conservatives in general don't really view the medium of art or animation with any regard (even the pseudo left leaning centrist conservatives).. Learning promotes neuroplasticity and releases dopamine, serotonin etc. I mean, it is an interesting situation, that the individual who has issues with anxiety and being around other people promotes the quickest route with the least amount of effort in order to cheat himself out of a means to be happy (aka not have anxiety issues).

Why does spotify even bother with pretending their AI music is made by real artists if people wouldn't care either way?

16:52 you're missing one of the biggest factors which is that many of the people on faacebook are from poorer countries that are less developed and also more religious, religiosity is just an easy avenue to exploit in people who are naive to a lot of modern society.
Religious people already blindly believe in a magical sky fairy, of course they're easy to fool.
@@Gankstomper You need a more sophisticated view of religion. 'Lol sky daddy' is what lazy people say because it's easy. Far more intelligent people than either of us are religious. Find out why. You might understand why people have faith from a logical, psychological or ontological perspective. Or you can stick with magic sky fairy. Path of least resistance, y'know.
@@_uncredited You know nothing about my knowledge or view of religion based on a single one sentence UA-cam comment. Someone that would jump to that wild of a conclusion based on nothing probably shouldn't be talking down to others. Pretty embarrassing to say the least, apparently you throw reason out the window if someone says words you don't like.
as someone who went to church they actively teach you to disregard logic and common sense as "human arrogance" and praise blind faith. If your blind faith works out that's god's plan and why you should trust in invisible forces with no evidence.
@@Gankstomper Dude, honestly this guy was just trying to suggest you open your mind a little. He obv doesn't know you or your stances/knowledge on religion and was going off of what you wrote. Which was an inflammatory statement about religion. How are you getting defensive about this? It's just a joke, right?
Vocaloid is just a text to speech program, I've seen how it works and you have to manually pitch every single note put out.
AI is just a text to image program, I've seen how it works and you have to manually prompt every single feature put out.

@@Diogo85 have you seen the quality of the average article and blog post over the last year or so, and how almost every one uses the same language structure and turns of phrase? Or how the same information is in different places spun in a way that changes words for synonyms and alters the structure a little to avoid getting flagged as plagiarism? All that is AI and is starting to represent the majority of the content output out there.
@@Draighean AI isn't bad, though, and it's not ruining the internet. I use AI and it's really good.
Asmongold doesn't understand that it's the journey of becoming an artist that is satisfying and not the end of the journey, of course people don't realize that but that doesn't mean it has no value. It's the same thing as watching a series and just watching the first and last episode, you won't feel the same satisfaction and emotion as the person who saw the story develop, that's why "Ai artists" only care about views and money, because they will quickly lose the satisfaction of doing ai art and will start looking for other ways to get dopamine.
its a common attitude among celebrities that gained fame without having a particular skill or talent.
25:40 This is definitely a problem that is much worse on twitter than any other social media website. You're deluding yourself if you don't think Elon has made twitter a million times worse by giving a financial incentive for these things to exist. The difference is that twitter promotes this shit by putting these at the very top, regardless of user engagement, and that makes the whole experience so much worse.
Ah yes…the “duh; people watch documentaries specifically for the misinformed but oddly satisfying and entertaining parts rather than the facts of the thing that originally piqued their interest” argument. Brilliant.
1:13:14 a human riding the lyrics, in composing the music, and using the machine to mix what they've made and executed is different from someone riding a prompt, and having the machine right compose and synthesize the music
Bringing up Vader to say people only see bad AI is a poor execution of his point as there has been nothing released that contained Vader since James Earl Jones signed off on using AI to replace his voice acting
I think you could argue that not telling consumers that things are made by AI is false advertising because most of those products credit a fake person as the creator as if it's made by a real person, so it's presenting to paying customer that it isn't AI before they consume it. I'm surprised at Asmon take on not telling the consumers that things are made by AI because he is usually against false advertising.
This was a bit painful to watch tbh. You're pausing too much just to repeat essentially the same arguments. It also seems as if you already set your mind before watching the video to not let it budge your opinion even a tiny bit.
I mostly agree with Asmon, but the dude in the video does bring some few good points.

The thing about a lot of animated movies that give you the feels is that there's people still behind the scenes writing animating and tweaking to give it that human feel. If you're going for the most realistic animation, there will still be that uncanny valley.
You can tell, the cockroach part around 3:10 really hit home for ole Asmon 🤣🤣🤣💀
Ai has already hit a wall buddy. To advance any further they'd have to spend more money than there is
1:36:10 it threatens purely human artists because we literally CANNOT COMPETE. Basically ALL projects exist through having the financial means to make it, and if it takes ai like 10 seconds and me 2 years to make an entire movie, ALL funding will OBVIOUSLY go towards the more efficient process.
Art made by humans will be brought down from these awesome years long projects by thousands of different people specializing in hundreds of different fields to basically only what you and maybe a group of friends YOU'RE NOT PAYING could make in your spare time from work. It would be impossible to make it your job, and our entire culture of human made art will die.
but yes, i agree that just ai art existing on its own removed from its consequences is fine and valid. Its what it would do to our literal defining trait of humanity thats my issue.
and how is that a bad thing exactly? People will get what they want cheaply and efficiently.
Ai needs data to work, data is now replaced by Ai, now Ai sucks.
You see the issue with all that? It can't work.
You missed the part where humans can curate dataset of only real & human-created content, while eschewing AI generated content from the dataset. It can and does work even now.
I feel like it might turn into a "enjoy it while you can" type of thing. Udio and Suni are getting sued right now. So depending where it goes, they might not even exist soon since they're clearly using copyrighted stuff to build their models. And doubt it would even work without it. Same goes for most AI models if there's legal precedent on this.
Allegedly lol
@@theSato What's the point of AI if humans need to curate for it? Doesn't that just create an extra layer of busy work to achieve the level of quality which humans could already achieve in the first place? Why not just hire an artist if you have to hire someone to curate AI work anyway?
@@None38389You have your terms....wrong.
AI will never achieve what you think, it's AGI or ASI, the point of the narrowed AI is to be a tool, the next level is when the AI doesn't need instructions and can update itself and we're far from that but it's still important to keep the development because the endgame is precisely to achieve the general AI that can support itself.

To me is pretty clear. Asmond is OK with this because he is not a "creator", he just comments on other people's videos, something that AI will never get to do.
I am not even mentioning that his "Opinions" are just from a regular guy like me, which is acceptable by the way. All you said is garbage, really. BTW: Drew is not wrong, I felt the same thing.
Drew is completely wrong.
@9553shadow and that's your opinion and it's acceptable
flying cars would be extremely fucking usefull if they never fell down. The reason home prices are so high is because we have no space to have enough for everyone in big cities. Terminally on the internet has made you awkwardly confidently wrong.
I don't trust most people with riding bikes, let alone a flying vehicle. Looking at you, Boeing
flying cars sounds nice in theory but you know dam well that when you look up at the sky you want to see clouds and stars, not more traffic.

Everyone with basic knowledge about how AI works when the AI craze was starting: "AI is trash, and just steals everyone else's work."
People's response: "shut up boomer, AI is the future."
I love how people just flat out ignore how the human brain works when making this argument. You only know anything that you currently know about music, because you have listened to thousands of songs throughout your life. You absorbing those styles, contexts and distinctions, and then producing your own music using the things you've learned from your experience listening to every song you've ever listened to, is functionally no different than an AI being "trained" on libraries of songs. The only real difference is that an AI can do it faster. To be clear, I'm not saying BETTER, but certainly faster. You are not expected to pay royalties to the creator of every song you've ever listened to, whenever you create a song, but you are 100% using the things you've learned from their work to produce your own. Yes AI is in its infancy, so its still very flawed, but I do not see any ethical reasons that an AI produced piece of art in any medium, should be regulated any differently than a human, except that I don't think an AI generated content should be eligible for any copyright, but copyright law is already a screwed up sack of bullcrap at this point so thats a debate for another time xD
@@andyb3522 Guess you missed the part about "anybody with basic knowledge of how AI works." I get it, AI is "trained" on data, but at the end of the day it's just stealing other people's work to create unoriginal derivatives. Yes, it will be a useful tool to generate media without paying people to create media, but there's no real originality to it, regardless of people comparing training AI with human learning.
I'll take media created by people that have learned their craft over the years while being influenced by life's experiences over anything generated by a lifeless robot any day of the week. That's my personal choice, and I am going to stick to it.
@@TyrianHaze A generative "AI" steals the work that its trained on about as much as any human who creates music who has listened to music before. Its not stealing to LEARN from something. Your brain functionally does the same thing.
Your personal choice is valid and I advocate for your power to continue to make that choice.
But AI is no more a thief than anybody who writes music after having spent their whole life listening to and being influenced by the music from other artists. Call them lifeless Robots all you want. But I think your opinion of the sanctity of human created art is based on the fact that you havent heard all the AWFUL music people have made that you would probably consider "lifeless" and "soulless" as well. And there far more AWFUL music and artwork than there is GOOD music and artwork. And to be fair to you here, I agree that AI is unlikely to reach the quality that the worlds great artists can produce. But they can easily replace the soulless wannabe's who might know how to draw or play an instrument, but lack creativity, and yet still charge a lot of money for a commission due to their "skill". Its basically just replacing the "execution" part of the task. But it wont replace the creativity, you are correct. Hence why theyre just likely to be tools.
@@andyb3522 You keep trying to explain to me how AI works when I already told you twice that I understand how it works. When I say I understand how it works, I mean that I have actually worked with machine learning algorithms and coded the programs myself, not just typed some BS into a text box. Whatever the case, you are not going to convince me. I've heard all of that BS plenty of times before, and I am simply not buying those BS arguments that were thought up by the very people using AI to steal people's work.
@@TyrianHaze I didnt make any assumptions about your knowledge about AI, I criticized your wording that its somehow being used to "steal" other peoples work. Then I compared the functionality to the way YOUR BRAIN uses past experiences to create new ideas. Call it BS all you want. Its no more BS than your alleged background having "coded the programs" yourself. Dont think youll convince me with a half assed combination of buzz words like "machine learning algorithm". I am all too familiar with neural networks, tokenization, input vectors, bias vectors, input and output weight matrices and Im also very familiar with people trying to pretend they know all about AI. Nice try though.

Art is subjective but that swill is not art. The same way most of what people call art isn’t art. Art is the most advanced form of communication. Where the art can tell you a million things and make you feel a certain way. AI cannot do that because AI cannot think or feel.

Actually he is wrong about Pollock. not about it being good or bad, but about it being hard.
scientists scanned his "Drip" artworks, and found that the uniformity of the percentage of negative to positive space was almost 100%. This was within a grid with squares as small as centimeters. uniform percentage in each square throughout the entire area almost 100%
In other words it is a scientific fact that what he did was extremely difficult to do.
The reason people use him as an example when talking about easy art to do all the time is because they don't understand what he actually did.
The way he did it, in the time frame he did it, while being almost constantly drunk is nothing short of amazing.
difficulty wise blows Vermeer out of the water.
You're completely missing the point. The fact scientists have to scan it and quantify the skill is lost in the sauce. To everybody else, it's simple stuff. And you sound like a complete nerd arguing that his artwork is super complicated.
@@KindaIWantToish You miss the point, out of thousands of artists only a hand full stand out, it's simply irrelevent if that process was hard or easy for them to do and the likleyhood is that it will be easy for them while damn near impossible for everyone else to do. As is right about the process being irrelvent. Sure everyone else can do a Pollock like painting but will it resinate with the consumer? Out of thousands of artists there are literally one one or two that stand out as unquie, the question As is not asking is without being consciously aware can AI create something unquie that will capture the imagination of the consumer? If you look at sales of art it's been on the decline for decades, and am not talking about traditional art like painting am talking TV shows and movies.
Pollock was also able to do it because he was literally a CIA psyop lmao
@@vorbo01 his style was based on Janet Sobel's work.
@@terrytees ?? Pollock doesn't resonate with most consumers, just art nerds that care about the process. Just like that first image of a black hole. It's special to those that care about the background, to everybody else it's an ugly, blurry donut.
AI art is a tool, not some weird primordial pool that consumes and generates art. Prompting is just brush technique for that tool. It takes a creative mind to use it to create art. It follows all the same rules as "normal" art, and if it's good, it'll move people too.
The loom revolutionized rug creation, but handcrafted rugs still sell.
i think the thing that scares me the most is deep fakes are going to be so good that you wont be able to tell and alot of innocent people are going to get hurt by it
How about the fact that deepfakes will get so good that soon, no actual video evidence will be persuasive anymore, as a person can always just say "oh that's a deepfake" and there will be reasonable doubt.
Yes, but not for the same reasons most people think. The Name Image Likeness stuff is going to kick in with college student athletes first.
