Download free Business Plan template here: clickhubspot.com/ozl Whew! It's getting hot in the comments. New tech can be scary, and the media's fear-mongering and false narratives aren't helping. Here's my take: As mentioned in the video, AI art isn't perfect, and I don't believe it will replace all artists. It will, however, require artists to adapt and evolve, just like they always have. I believe it will push art forward (like how photo, video and digital art did - which by the way, all co-exist with traditional art). Art is meant to push boundaries and evolve. To accept that AI art will replace artists - would that mean that the art of artists is only an image and nothing more? If artists are that easily replaceable, were they really pushing the boundaries? As an artist myself, I believe real art has always been something more than just the visual. It involves the human storytelling and meaning behind it. That is something an AI cannot create.
Either way it is inevitable that it would eventually be able create beautiful art like Sargent , Leyendecker , Leonardo da Vinci etc without any tweeks required by artists. It's scary but it is inevitable.
As an artist, who s future is on stak because it yes. Yes I'm ofcour against it. I give you a tip. Try to learn how to actually draw, then maybe you learn a little bit of respect for art, and artist.
For an Artist who likes to draw, this is really disturbing because their no soul, originality, and Pride in it, For those who are not even an Artist it's a business opportunity because they can gain money from it without even doing anything, AI is contradicting the meaning of Art in some way that's why they hate it. , But the ones who going to be affected by this kind of change are the future artist. Artists are born through the performance of professional artist Dancer, Singers, writers, etc. because they got inspired by it, it's the connection between humans to humans and follows their steps. AI is scary because it's literary and can stop this cycle. Imagining this world replaced by AI is kinda not right, but who knows what the future hold.
As a professional artist, I'm not sure whether to be excited or terrified. On one hand it scares me for my ability to get gigs and sustain myself, also in other hand nothing inspires me more to start painting than seeing other impressive work. In my mind, I'm like, "I bet I could try something similar and add my own flavor to it!"
I have a friend, who's an artist. When I first shared the stuff this model made with her, the first thing she went for was "Oi, that's a cool pose, send me this!". So, it definitely helps with inspiration and stuff. In general, the best solution in terms of morality and copyright is to label alk works made solely with NN models as CC0, imo.
Or, since you are an artist with a background in art you already have a leg up on most people. So why not add A.I to your arsenal and make it work for you. No reason you cant combine your current art with ai. This is what i dont understand about Artist instead of calling it not real art, join it and use it. I would love to see what actual artist create with ai.
I believe that Ai art will have more negative effects on the art community than positive ones. Will AI completely replace real artists? Probably not, but I can see job opportunities for them decrease in the near future as AI becomes overall better. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Ai art advances to the point to where it becomes so user friendly that people would rather just do it themselves than pay someone to generate art for them.
New tools create new jobs, that's how it's been forever so... Maybe there's a hit on the artists market soon, but i wouldn't be surprised if in some years the art that is created is something that we now consider masterpieces thanks to people who learn how to use AI as an extra tool to make their art faster, better and get time to study other tools
@@balijosu Agreed. I think on the long run it'll be a good thing, but only time will tell. I'm kind biased towards the AI tho, since i'm a data science / ai student xD
@@cristobalportilla3138 Nah, it's pretty clear now that AI will be the death of many professional jobs in the art community and has the possibility to soon leak into other art-focused jobs like animation, writing, and music. Right now, AI art generators are less of a tool for most artists and more useful for non-artist imo. We'll have to wait and see the full ramifications of this new technology, but so far it looks grim for artists.
I think what people fail to realize, is that in all previous examples they give from history AI didn't exist. You can talk about the anti-type writer movement, the lace industry etc etc, but all of that was still firmly in the control of human beings. Now with AI eventually we won't even need a CZcamsr to sell the AI generated art, eventually AI will do it all. We won't even have clever business men profiting off of AI, because AI will even replace the business men. This CZcams video shows that the most challenging element of this business plan is already being done by the AI; making the art. The business side that the CZcams us doing is super easy, and AI could probably already do it 100% better than he is doing. Why would AI need money? It wouldn't, unless it wants money for other reasons...
I am business minded- in the sense that I have a lot of incentives and ideas into selling my own art prints in the future. But I also respect the process it takes into creating a highly detailed work of art by hand. Maybe it would be interesting to have AI art as a side-option to sell for a really low price, but fully-hand drawn works of value with their own style will always be far more lucrative - especially now that AI art is flooding the internet. If you have both skills, you'll always be ahead of people who can only generate AI images. Those folks just become one-trick ponies when it comes to creativity. Also, you have to consider the community aspect that is against AI images (reflected on the facebook ad Jensen threw up). There are people who will outright reject and go after you and try to demolish your reputation just because you do only AI - and if there's one group you don't want to piss off online is artists. And you know, that is just alright. We need to have a balance when it comes to new technology, and yes, we do need to be concerned about a lot of jobs (and cultural value) that can potentially be lost due to it. AI image generators may be great for quantity, but what is the point when a bunch of other people will get fucked over and overall product quality of AI images is vastly inferior to pro artists who draw by hand (With most results looking either generic, or heavily distorted in terms of anatomy)? Also, there is already a lawsuit toward OpenAI in the works about ripping off coders on Github that is tied to all of this. And it's the first of many that will come given that the concept art community is also coming together due to many of their artworks being taken without consent by these AI companies benefiting from legal loopholes. And also, I have to disagree about your point on AI 'creativity' working just like human creativity. In the end, AI can't create anything new and innovative like a human being with their own story and life experience. It takes a couple of weeks going through the Midjourney chats to realize how everything starts to look the same, then hopping onto Artstation and noticing a gigantic difference. Again, I am business-minded too, but I can't ignore the artist in me that is concerned about going to fast with this technology. If we just take advantage from it and completely neglect the community, man it is not going to be good in the long run for artists & the culture in general, and you can't expect people to just go along with the flow when their livelihoods are being threatened by the machine.
@@Alexandraadftxr7052 I just gave a whole break down about all my concerns regarding what AI will do to artist's jobs, and how I would still draw and paint by hand even if I were to sell my own AI generated images. Plus, if it were up to me, I wouldn't want to just sell somebody a generation without some heavy input from my own drawing skills. I need to make it my own somehow. All this considered, I don't think I'm out there to ruin artist's lives myself being someone who has drawn, painted, created films and animations and written stories since I was 4. I just want to adapt to this technology in the most ethical way possible while being torn about its uses at the same time.
@@Alexandraadftxr7052 It's ok Alexandra, I understand and, in part, share your frustration so no offense taken. Just remember a lot of us are in the same team and will continue to draw and paint regardless of where this technology goes. Painting on caves was our first expression of art as humans, and I don't think that is going to end any time soon. There will always be a place for hand-made, hand-drawn art, and in fact that may just gain much more value when the AI imagery trend passes. If people can do both, great - but if people just depend on AI image generators to create, they'll only limit themselves in the long run, and they will be outclassed by any artist that both knows how to draw, paint, use photoshop and use AI to their advantage. It's important to adopt this technology ethically as a tool, but never as a replacement.
Dude, artists aren't mad at ai beacause it's "stolen" or we are too old. AI Art it's mostly easy to get acceptable results. You just need the idea. What counts in art it's execution as well. That's why we don't really like AI users who consider themselves artists. Unless you're using it as a tool for a big project, it isn't art. That's just how it works
I'm sorry but I've only heard of this in the last week, and you're already talking about "That's why we don't really like AI users who consider themselves artists" as if it's some long held tradition. This thing in it's current implementation is 100% illegal, since it's being fed copyright protected art and duplicating it. Refer to The Berne Convention : "adopted in 1886, deals with the protection of works and the rights of their authors. It provides creators such as authors, musicians, poets, painters etc. with the means to control how their works are used, by whom, and on what terms."
There is NO SUCH THING as a AI artist here’s way, U or the Word chooser, is not using the fundamental BASICS of CREATIVE IMEGE CUNTRUCTION, the AI is DOING that FOR U, u are not choosing what’s being displayed, a photographer are somewhat “artist” because they choose what’s being displayed, Iven if they are not CONSTRUCTING the image, U ARE just CHOSSING WORDS WITCH HAVE NO CONCREAT VISUAL CONATACION
@@thimug1150 Yeah, dude, I get your point since you also speak my language. But for people who aren´t so deep in the creative industry and don´t understand this stuff, it´s better just to put it in simpler words
@@ChickenCannotDefeatFork be down to earth. Pressing AI button doesn't need that much skill and work. Probably won't take long when AI will suggest and generate prompts by itself. By the way it clearly had made a real hard copy of copyright material for learning. Even if it deletes it later and then uses it only as a part of one big generated model.
When skill becomes scarce, that's when it becomes more valuable. The more people use AI Art and abandon practicing freestyle art on paper or canvas, the more that skill becomes valuable.
That's not entirely accurate, three layer plaster work is rare as a skill goes, that doesn't mean you're gonna be in business being able to do it in most places. Rarity increases value only when broad demand remains high.
I generated an image using midjourney and I noticed that there were some letters in the sky of the images. I zoomed in and even though the letters were distorted, I could clearly see that it said shutter stock. I then inspected the entire image very closely and found 3 more of them, plus a few other errors. So, if you are selling art, please check the images very well and correct all the errors.
A person spends many years to learn their craft in order to become pro and then someone comes and does the same in 5 minutes with next to no skill. Tell me how would you feel then??? Imagine people who are getting into art now... They will just give up. Or the world will be flooded with mostly AI art with all the associated problems I am too depressed to list.
It is not that someone comes and steals your work. We as humans pushed AI into this without regulations. When typewriter was introduced to society many people who copies books manuelly became jobless unless you learnt the new typewriter machine. It is not exactly the same example but technology and gears always defined and redefined our way of making living. Now art field is shaping too although art is an abstract field. Very popular artists exploited their art to make millions of dollars and now some non creative people using this new tool to craft computer made art to make a living is okay by me. Yes, traditional artists put hundreds of hours to get the skill so what? Life is always unfair.
@@youtubearsivi9223 bro shut up about regulations is literally impossible to regulate the internet. If they block the sites that generates ai then people will use a VPN to bypass it. If you think that the whole world can come on an agreement to regulate ai then you set your hopes too high.
@Steve if you think nobody cares, you must be blind or ignorant. By your logic you could say why caring about fast fashion, there are other problems. Btw I am an artist and I am caring about the future of all the artists. With new technology, new ai we could solve so many problems. But instead the techcompy developed an ai to replace artists. So they exploing the artists and make profit of it. And no its not a tool, a tool would help the artists and not replacing him completely. Artists don’t have problems doing their work. Only the companies have a problem with „paying the artist“. But go on and support big techcompanies so they can make more billions of dollars and some day they will replace you too, but hey why should we care about you, there are other problems.
@@BombalurinaAIThere are already lawsuits, also when you "create AI art" there is no copyright so technicaly you can't sell it (Based on other lawsuit when photo was made not by human). That's why non of big companies will use AI art until it will be legally clear to use. The big problem here is that it hits in the beginner artists the most cause there is a big chance that in this video some artist after 2 -3 years of work or study lost thier firs gig.
I'm glad you spent more time than it was worth. There's hope for real artists. Not sure how I feel about all this. I realise it's inevitable, and understand both sides, but it makes me sad. Change is coming. It's always going to hurt people that dedicated their lives to the craft. I see niche artists in the future only releasing their work to galleries and hiding it from the internet with strict security so it cannot be captured digitally to be replicated by AI. PS: This whole video takes me back to the days where t-shirt websites sprung up everywhere and channels selling you on the idea you could make huge money in it popped up, only to be a total waste of time because the world and his dog were all doing it, and all the hours you spent on t-shirt designs were there just to be copied by others.
The one way to satisfy both is for AI developers to ask for consent of artists to use their works in training dataset and must add digital signature to clearly state that something is generated by AI.
Without artist’s work there is no AI creations, why people couldn’t understand it they own clearly to artists the creations with AI. People are using AI, to steal and imitate their work, « it’s inevitable » you said ? Heck no, they could they being douchbags and do not use AI to kill artists 😊 We need to protect artists work from AI, nothing is inevitable.
That's where you're mistaken. AI art is like any unique piece of art, the only difference is that it takes seconds to get generated instead of a human spending hours of work making it. Artists who nowadays spend enormous amount of time and energy could simply use this amazing tool to improve their workflow. Of course, using the traditional methods give you 100% of freedom to drawn as exact and precise as you want your art. Using AI to help you making CZcams thumbnails, for example, it's an excellent idea!
@@thecommentator9181 Yes, it is a tool, and an amazing tool btw! AI doesn't mean to take any merit of any artist, what artists do with they art is represent an emotion/feeling/ideia through their work, and the AIs nowadays can do this, you just need to type the right description and improve it, so any visual flaws can be erased. What artists are afraid of is because they maybe think they're too much special, that only the human brain have the capacity to create such visuals out of scratch (I thought the same back in the time), but AIs nowadays are proving the opposite. The artists, as human beings IN FLASH AND BONE, are not special, what makes us special it's our imagination/creativity that only WE HAVE. And if an artificial intelligence proves it can do this kinda work, there's no arguments when there's facts.
Out of all the "Make $1million per day"-ish using A.I art youtube videos out there I have watched I have to be completely honest.... Yours was truly enjoyable, I was excited for you as the video progressed and it seems like you had a real passion for it as you went along.
Im glad i could do this too. As an unfamous artist. I can definitely do the same as ai but not as quick. Its the idea, being creative. If you cant overcome ai and challenge it, at least be creative from it instead of copying art from basic ideas like a red square in a shadow body chest. A great idea is to make the square glow red so it represents a beating heart. Thats what an AI would do n you would get mad and get fired bc your art ideas arent creative enough.
As an artist, it’s not right to replace art careers and jobs with AI art that anyone can generate on the internet and make money. There’s so much to art than AI art. The reason why artists make art is because it conveys emotion, self expression and allows artists to get creative or artistic. AI Art can’t do something all artists can do is convey emotion or self expression in our art because that’s how I feel the same about art too, and same with music. I’m making my art my career but I am still deciding if I want to continue doing art because I don’t want to hear so many negative things people say about doing art as career or job when there is a career or job. Art is more than a career and job it’s an art and we artists convey emotion through art, and it takes hours to complete a painting or drawing we put a lot of hard work, effort, and time into it. This is why non-artists should aim to understand than underestimating artists, and we deserve better.
I like how you present the facts exactly how they've worked out, or not. Your video has also the vibe of the reality, not only AI stuff :). Good content!
Hey Man, gotta appreciate the hustle bro. You portrayed the true story of selling services on fiverr. Most youtubers here, make it seem like a get quick rich scheme however it takes weeks for it to even get started. That's how youtube should be!
The only people that should have access to styles are people that can draw those styles themselves or if given explicit permission by the artist. The public domain offers more than enough and I'm sure artists would have voluntarily offered up some of their works. But the ways it's being handled is akin to plagiarism and identity theft in the art industry.
@Steve There is a difference between taking the time to practice and learn something vs having an AI copy and paste peoples work to put them out of a job. Anybody can draw, you just need to buy the tools - just like anyone can play basketball, they just need a ball. If you can recreate a professional artists style that demonstrates true talent and dedication, if you have an AI do it using other peoples work who've taken the time to learn said skill but you're too lazy and opportunistic that's called plagiarism. Even a little research into Andy Warhol would show that he turned away from those methods and almost got into massive trouble. (Campbell considered suing but liked the publicity. He was later sued by photographer Patricia Caufield for using a shot she took of Marilyn Monroe) Besides which, AI art is still far from being transformative to any degree. It is simply a more sophisticated way of copying others work without it looking like plagiarism. It even tries to copy artists signatures often, so please, don't give me this bs.
@@redwolfmedia2281 Plagarism is not equated to being lazy. If AI makes an entirely new image out of an original then it will be a new image. You are one spewing bs. If it takesless effort on the cretors part, then good for them.
@@rickycool6083 I didn't say it was equated to being lazy. I was equating someone who commits plagiarism to a lazy person, cause they are. The AI is not making new images, it's splicing copyrighted ones together.
@@redwolfmedia2281 That's not what the AI is doing at all... It collects data and creates a generalised data set that looks nothing like any of the pictures - it creates multiple "layers" of these generalised data. Imagine a dog in your head. That's a generalised image that was created in your mind from all the data collected. It's similar but AI does it in more "efficient" way thus creates much thinner layers. Although there is a very strong evidence that this is what we do subconsciously as well.
@@dh7899 if this was the case then why does it recreate artist's signatures so often and is so easily able to replicate their work? It may start generalized but it gets more specific, and it only knows that specificaty because it was trained on those data sets. There is no individual flavour added to AI pieces, it is fully plagiarized unless you train it on something that isn't copyright.
They aren't worried about losing their job to an AI. Their worried about their art being used as a template. Because that's how AI art is created. People don't want their styles that they've worked so hard to refine to be loaded into a database and then pulled from without their consent. I'm all for tech, I'm not for people finding their art style on some for sale website. If they do want to provide art for AI to pull from, it should be an opt in process, not an opt out.
If you post art online that will happen regardless, you know how easy it is for people to screenshot and post photos from deviant art or from a google search. But people also use that as inspiration so its not all bad. But I hear you.
@Thorsten Sushi Well that's the law, doing something with someone's style isn't stealing and can lead to more creativity. For example I asked it to make something in my style which led to my best works yet.
As an artist I am scared of this new trend , because replacing real artists who put hard work into their paintings and art in general is like creating robots that take people's jobs . I do hope that enough people value more art that was created with love and hard work .
I am taking the AI art idea and running with it. I simply see this as tool to help detail up my own art and give myself more creative ideas. Ill be taking some very old sketches, rendering them as AI, picking the best fit, and painting it myself! I believe there is still hope for the starving artists out there who don't just make this their hobby. I feel this really could be another tool to promote hand-made art!
But the problem is that, why would someone commision you if they can just use the AI themselves. Sure, some love the hand made aspect of it. But the majority of clients across the web just prefer a product regardless of how it's made.

For future reference, if you wanted to do this again, there's an option to created a sharable link for Stable Diffusion on another PC. I generate stuff at work all the time on my work laptop through a bookmarked URL and it uses my home GPU to do all the processing.
Wow, can this be "outsourced" to a newer Mac (M1) as well? I was able to install a thing called DiffusionBee, that supposedly uses the latest SD model through the Mac's GPU...but it's still very mediocre results, compared to Midjourney.
As a voice actor, I get where these artists are coming from. AI voiceovers have become wildly popular and it's a bit of a worrying trend to us in the voiceover industry. But at the end of the day, most of us realize that most people will always want a human to do a voiceover because there are certain nuances in the real human voice that AI voiceovers just can't capture---well yet, anyway. We'll see where it all ends up.
Some AI voice over gives me headache when I listen to it. I think your'e safe, look at books and LPs, they still exist despite the streaming industry and e-readers.

That's not true. Someone undercharging for their work does not make your work worth less. If somebody's doing commissions in exchange for pocket change they'll either raise their price or close commissions indefinitely.

I don’t know anything about this stuff but, as a painter myself, what is your opinion about my making master copies of well known paintings? I have primarily done this for learning and inspiration. In 2020 I painted a large master copy of Sergeant’s “Street in Venice,” a work by him that I have always admired and loved. At the end of painting the copy, I decided to change the female in the center of the painting to a female nurse with a mask on. I thought the image was a perfect way for me to represent the heroism of healthcare workers during the peak of the pandemic crisis. So far I have refused to sell the painting mostly because I haven’t wanted to part with it. While the setting of the painting is Sergeant’s Venice, the meaning of the painting is entirely different even though it is painted with Sargent’s technique as closely as I could achieve. Now, I’m thinking that AI art might be an excellent tool for artists much in same way that moving pictures at the end of the 19th Century was a tool for Picasso’s and Braque’s invention of cubism while most painters of that day saw film as a threat. Thoughts?
@@jared.mohammed If you're position is "automation is inhumane" then, fair enough! But it's pretty hypocritical if you think it's only inhumane if it affects instead of benefits you.
There are limits to what AI can do. But it's improving day by day. Mankind must value the skills and talents that we possess. We create new realms and new disciplines with what we can imagine. AI learns from that but can only replicate it poorly. If mankind stops creating, AI will only be able to rehash what was created before. But that may not be bad if we hanker for the good old days. 🤷♂️
"If mankind stops creating, AI will only be able to rehash what was created before." This 100000 times! A great insight here! Even now AI generated art is starting to look all similar, imagine that later.

As a son of two artist with one who have made it on a international level and the other on national level I just want to say that I am not afraid and think it's a nother process you can use to make art. Making good art is all about breaking or addressing some type of boundary that activates the viewer. That is why Jack Pollock is seen as art. It wasn't done before and broke boundary of what can be seen as art. I am currently managing an art project funded by the country and have been blown away with the lose of quality in art in the region that I am working at. Everyone started calling them selves artists who can make something visually nice, that has been done over and over again. Saying all that since the digital revolution, we have been more focused on the production side of things since that is used in design a lot. Like how a portrait can be considered art but nothing new. Art is about a type of expression that leaves a impression. That is why I loved the concept of the cover art for the music guy and consider it art. The music is based on emotions mixed in with life. I have never done the drugs he probably was on, but it left a impression that was based on someone's impression. Now that impression is based on a digital model where it depends on the data set. Is that art idk, is it vage, hell yeah! But does it open up a world of possibilities, yeah... So iam all for it and not afraid, it's a great way in adding up the quality of art, since it's allows people use it as inspiration or even a production piece. The mindset has been used in art categories like, Pop art, DaDa and more. Now you are a real artist where you make something new that can be considered it's own categorie. Also art is not the same as design even though it can overlap. Ps: if there is a spelling error or gramma error, that is life.

The thing is, There are sections to every job, There are great artists, then the good ones and then mediocre artists While Great and good artists earn more per project and deliver great results, Mediocre section thrives on low pay per job but a good amount of orders, the way AI is doing now, it is threatening the jobs of the same section where absolute perfection is unnecessary and average results are accepted for a lower pay It is easy to say "Adapt" when you're not in the same boat, And don't say, "why can't everyone be a great artist" it is ignorant and deceiving, Why can't every youtuber be pewdiepie, or every college student be bill gates, Why don't you Adapt to become mark zuc or salvadore dali AI is not a tool, it is a replacement, the money that was going to artists will now go to the subscription of Digital image generation

looking at this video makes me excited for when visual art copyright laws reach the level of music art industry. And the creators of those algorythms will have to pull back and rerelease stable diffusion models trained on only public image data sets.
Ah unfortunately the models are out there for good. New models can have varying training curation but the ones that have been released are on people's local machines

Ai has muddied the waters in a big way. I created some artwork with 0 Ai involved, but yet I have been accused of using Ai, I dont know whether to be flatterd or totally insulated.......er insulated, I think.
even in my own graphic design groups, they are posting posts about banning AI. i understand their feeling about it. people with no artistic talents are usually posing as an artist but using AI.
They should. For instance there are people for the past few years, usually foreigners coming into the 1970s celica group, posting terrible Toyota Celica shirts with mixed era stuff on it. Like they have the 90s Toyota (T) on them when that has nothing to do with 70s Toyotas really. They just look bad, and these aren't even A.I. as far as I know they're just people trying to get money or every dollar that they can by selling cheap T shirts to car fans.
I get it, but hear me out as a person who uses Midjourney and just started an Instagram page for my AI Arts. First, I never lie about me making the arts by myself, i always add that "this art is AI generated" for example. For me, Midjourney AI is making my dreams come true. I always wanted to be someone who can express himself thru art, i compose music, but my drawings and paintings are awful, i have a condition which makes my writing unreadable aswell. Now, I can easily "create" and express myself thru Art by giving detailed prompts and choosing the one which is the closest to what i imagined. Banning something like AI art kills freedom, while arts or designs made by humans will always be more original and will always worth more.

As a pro animator in the biz for 20 years I tell my buddies not to worry. I think AI is a good starting point but a few word sentence will never, repeat NAVER give you exactly what you imagine in your creative little human brain. I do think it’s great to iterate initial ideas and it’s going to be great for cranking out mundane background 3D assets. The new Meta-Human might ruffle a few feathers because you can literally 3D scan someone’s face with your phone and then have a fully rigged and photorealistic face in seconds. Again I think AI is still only a tool but it’s good to see film, video, movie, book and art productions happening at a faster pace. For me it’s nice to think of something and then poof have a rough image there to look at immediately for more inspiration.
As an experienced Traditional medium artist and digital 3d modeler. there is a huge difference between someone just spamming lazy cheap ai art and a true artist spending hours defining prompts and image training and refining AI art. I personally believe prompt writing is an art form in of itself. I love creating Ai Art for Inspiration and new styles. I see no issue with someone selling their Original Ai Art as it is just a new Medium for artists to explore
Found this so funny, I have to accept the new technology even though it may harm my art. I'm having a lot of fun with it right now and yes you have to do a bit of retouching to get exactly what you want out of AI. Loved the video!
You need to actually have some skills as an illustrator or artist though tbh. Atleast basic photoshop skills. Some requests can get so specific that you will have a hard time with JUST AI otherwise. But very interesting
I agree, what if you get a request and the customer wants a certain picture created with different poses.. how do you get the AI to do that? it just creates new images I don't think it can take the same image but do variations in regards to angles.. I guess that is where advancements in AI art generators comes in as well as prompt professionals that know the language to get it do that..
@@wesley6442 it can. you can feed it parts of the image and ask to change stuff. or just draw basic shapes you want yourself and ask AI to enhance it with img2img. there is a lot of stuff, that can work super great for concept artists. but most people only focus on the 'text propmt' side of ai art
The comments thread is very interesting for me. I always loved drawing, and 30+ years later I am still drawing/painting a lot and constantly improving my skills, and for me it is nice to know that as long as I live and be able, I will continue to have this. I do this for myself, to relax, stay grounded and curious, and to pay attention. When having the opportunity to play with AI I found that sometimes it made some compositions and lighting scenes very interesting but it is still very limited in ideas and you can almost always tell is AI art, you need to constantly feed it, is not reliable. However, it did opened my eyes on how he compiled compositions and made me think my drawings slightly differently. The Ai improved my traditional skills. That being said, I am positive that it won't be able to match them and even if someday it could, art is more than making money for the artist is something he must do, like eating. Making money from art is like a wonderful bonus. For someone who wants to sell a book that he wrote in a month just for cash, an AI for the cover will be enough. A person who put his blood and tears into writing a book for all the good reasons, will search for something with more meaning for the cover. This is why I am not scared that artists jobs will disappear, probably they will adapt, play upon AI strengths, get even better, or make other things as well. I agree though that AI should be regulated somehow in order not to learn from copyright material without permission- this would make it learn a bit slower and society will have time to understand it's ramifications properly.
if you are confident that ai could not create music, art or anything else for more eliquently and beautifully than the greatest human minds, then you are a fool There is nothing special about our brains and computers can be far far more powerful, with far more resoarses at hand
@@benjaminRhodesLEGO I still don't see how people would be lining up in a museum to see Ai art gallery shows, because even if it can generate wonderful pixels, it cannot generate an experience of self discovery as meaningful. People are craving genuine human interaction even if they can interact with Ai, they crave to see the ocean even if they have a perfectly depicted wall of monitors with the ocean and sound waves at home. And the movie in studio Ghibli style is in a style made by artists, we still need artists to generate unique styles for the AI to be able to copy and reiterate. We still acknowledge and search for the beauty and quality of craftsmanship versus a mass produced perfectly uniform item.

AI images are not art. Art is the manifestation of soul and will. These are just images obtained by code. Code has no will nor soul. The only art in these AI is the code itself written by the programmers. But even then, it's just really bad taste art. But even more important than that, the fun part of art is the process. If this shit becomes standard for any reason, then life becomes meaningless, boring, purposeless. People will turn into stupid entities that type numbers on a text field in order to "see what the computer gives in return" and in a few decades humanity will have lost it's soul. Think what would happen if this happend to music or writing, which are other forms of art. Humans will just become useful idiots.
Then again there is a lot of stuff i would not spend time drawing the ai is perfect for that. The ai doesn't spit out exactly what i want so it doesn't replace drawing by myself.
I played around with an AI art program last night. I been wanting to build a diorama scene for a little while now, but not knowing even where to begin or how to picture it coming together intimidated me from even attempting it. After a quite obscure prompt, and actually having fun with it, I ended up with one I really liked and I'll be using that as the basis for my first diorama. I just hope it won't be a disaster.
Does AI art work on a canvas? I have a new etsy store and am considering AI art to make landscape scenes, considering it will flow with my own photography that I am selling. Any advice would be appreciated. CHEERS!
The fact remains this wouldn't be possible if it didn't take from the backs of hard working artist the founder admitted to using “hundreds of millions” of images to scraped from the internet without obtaining permission. What took them years to master their craft to produce an art piece can take from weeks-months. Now anyone can just engineer prompts to produce them within minutes in the masses and monetized. You can even produce the exact same copy of art in the style of any artist or any famous non-existing artist. I would feel much comfortable about it if in the beginning they approached any of these artist knowingly to make an agreement to use their art or even at least offer to employ them. I'm already seeing many people monetizing services the art this AI produces not just big companies but people in general. 100% I like the idea of not picking up a pencil, digital pen or even a camera just thinking about what I want through my mind to produce and making more of it just from my fingertips its godlike.
The artists this ai had been trained on are not getting royalties. Their signatures are even in the images sometimes. If you read stable diffusion terms it says you can't sell the images for profit. Thanks to hubspot for sponsoring this video.
@@VocaloidEnjoyer1 But MidJourney or others AIs are NOT artists ☺️, I see many people like you making the comparison but it’s not relevant at all, AI are not human they doesn’t have feeling. They’re just a tool, their process for making a picture has nothing to do with a human illustrator, it’s algorithm, training with datas. You don’t understand how is working the technology you’re defending and how a creative process by humans is made.
This sucks for a lot of people. Some will lose money or even jobs, but this is great for people who don't have money. People can do this for free and that's great to start a small project or business with not a lot of money on hand.
AI will definetely not replace art made by real artists anytime soon. Art comes from the heart. When we see a piece from Monet or Van Gogh, we see the world through their eyes, their hardships and feelings. An AI can learn and emulate from that, but it will not create new ways of seeing the world. I paint both in traditional oil painting and digital painting using Clip. I would compare an AI to a fast environment where if you need something really fast which would take you hours to create, the AI does it in minutes, but you still need to put your heart into it if you want to call it yours. Otherwise, every piece that the AI does for you will be a piece without identity. If you are an artist that works on comissions you can benefit from it, like front-end devs use Figma, SO, git and any other tool instead of compiling every single task. I suggest that artists start using this to their benefit, because whether you like it or not, AI is the next generation tool for almost every field.
But AI is not making these pictures by it self. You give it orders, you give it descriptions, colors, environment, specific... so you still can make it very much personalized like you would do with art made by hand, and if done correctly it wont look generic and you would be seeing the world through the artists eyes.

It's strange, we all thought that garbage men and waiters would be the first to be replaced by robots. No one thought it would be commercial artists.
Please speak for yourself and not for the rest of mankind because I certainly didn't think garbage men would be the first to be replaced. Their work is far too complex, fast pace and diverse for even the most advanced robots and ai tools currently in development.

@@elkforests It's funny that you'd say that, because that's exactly the same with AI art. Anyone who says you can just type something and the AI will generate this amazing piece of artwork for you has clearly never actually tried it. I think this is part of the reason why people are freaking out so much. Every AI art that you see online that looks halfway decent is something that the prompter spent hours working on, and he probably had to refine the image in Photoshop or Gimp. Ironically enough, if you already have artistic talent, you have a great advantage with AI art, because you already have the necessary skills to make sure the image looks great.
I've used these AI programs. It's really hard and time consuming to get what you want. Many requests are outright impossible to get. As you could see in this video, you also need editing skills to fix things.
Yup it’s not as easy as everyone thinks it is which is why you can tell the artists that are complaining have never actually used one 😂 if you want to do something generic it’s easy but if you want to put your own style and get exactly what you want it takes time.

I am an artist. And I also LOVE ai art. If artists were to "!adapt to survive" they should take ai art and make it their own u ique thing and run with it. Its like a cheat sheet. Dont hate°•☆ create! ❤
I think Ai art gives everyone the opportunity to use their imagination and ideas and also to be creative. The way i see it, it will be beneficial in time for manual artists because their work will increase in value if ai art becomes more common. The same happened with a lot of traditional things for ex: making kimonos. (an automatically made kimono is around 15$ while manual ones are over 700$ the least). It is a shame that people think it would be doomsday when history has shown that with new technology, the value of the manual one increases.
Problem is, why would anyone buy a $700 Kimono if you can get the exact one for only $15 by a machine. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand your point, Iam a graphic designer myself and I'm bothered by all this AI trend as well. It's like all the time you spent studying went for nothing, when anyone who has a computer can now just type what they want and it's all done automatically efortlessly for them... That's actually what its all about. AI just makes everything more accessible for more people which is kinda gonna push the limits now. Everyone will be able to great art pieces now, but the PRO's will always have the upper hand which leads to alot of improvements and better art will still exist. Only now it's gonna take even more effort to be better than others. You can see improvements all around us, look at agriculture for example. People back in the day had to manually plant seeds and stuff, now you got a machine for everything to do it in a fraction of time... I could write an essay on so many examples but the point is, that technology is gonna evolve us for the better.
@@AlphaCollectorCZ because they appreciate quality. :) anyone will be able to have Ai stuff but not everyone will be able to have craftsmanship art. The expensive kimono is bought by rich people etc. There is also the colored bricks or glass from Morraco which is the same case also. I think it is more of a change of public in a way. There are more examples out there of simmilar cases. There is a CZcams channel, something with "so expensive".
@@AlphaCollectorCZ Having human art work stolen and vomited back at you by a prediction engine is not evolving us forward, if AI was actually intelligent and not plagiarism ... maybe, but this iteration is just theft.

Whew! It's getting hot in the comments. New tech can be scary, and the media's fear-mongering and false narratives aren't helping. Here's my take:
As mentioned in the video, AI art isn't perfect, and I don't believe it will replace all artists. It will, however, require artists to adapt and evolve, just like they always have. I believe it will push art forward (like how photo, video and digital art did - which by the way, all co-exist with traditional art).
Art is meant to push boundaries and evolve. To accept that AI art will replace artists - would that mean that the art of artists is only an image and nothing more? If artists are that easily replaceable, were they really pushing the boundaries? As an artist myself, I believe real art has always been something more than just the visual. It involves the human storytelling and meaning behind it. That is something an AI cannot create.
A little against but I can see it can be useful
These ai making artists use less creativity
Not saying that didn’t use it but less
I love AI art so i am. Fot
Either way it is inevitable that it would eventually be able create beautiful art like Sargent , Leyendecker , Leonardo da Vinci etc without any tweeks required by artists. It's scary but it is inevitable.
As an artist, who s future is on stak because it yes. Yes I'm ofcour against it. I give you a tip. Try to learn how to actually draw, then maybe you learn a little bit of respect for art, and artist.
For an Artist who likes to draw, this is really disturbing because their no soul, originality, and Pride in it, For those who are not even an Artist it's a business opportunity because they can gain money from it without even doing anything, AI is contradicting the meaning of Art in some way that's why they hate it.
, But the ones who going to be affected by this kind of change are the future artist.
Artists are born through the performance of professional artist Dancer, Singers, writers, etc. because they got inspired by it, it's the connection between humans to humans and follows their steps. AI is scary because it's literary and can stop this cycle.
Imagining this world replaced by AI is kinda not right, but who knows what the future hold.
As a professional artist, I'm not sure whether to be excited or terrified. On one hand it scares me for my ability to get gigs and sustain myself, also in other hand nothing inspires me more to start painting than seeing other impressive work. In my mind, I'm like, "I bet I could try something similar and add my own flavor to it!"
did it create any change in your gig traffic so far? As a 3d artist, I didn't affected but who knows the future!
I have a friend, who's an artist. When I first shared the stuff this model made with her, the first thing she went for was "Oi, that's a cool pose, send me this!". So, it definitely helps with inspiration and stuff.
In general, the best solution in terms of morality and copyright is to label alk works made solely with NN models as CC0, imo.

Or, since you are an artist with a background in art you already have a leg up on most people. So why not add A.I to your arsenal and make it work for you.

I would love to see what actual artist create with ai.
I believe that Ai art will have more negative effects on the art community than positive ones. Will AI completely replace real artists? Probably not, but I can see job opportunities for them decrease in the near future as AI becomes overall better. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Ai art advances to the point to where it becomes so user friendly that people would rather just do it themselves than pay someone to generate art for them.
Based on how fast the tech is evolving, it won't be long.
New tools create new jobs, that's how it's been forever so... Maybe there's a hit on the artists market soon, but i wouldn't be surprised if in some years the art that is created is something that we now consider masterpieces thanks to people who learn how to use AI as an extra tool to make their art faster, better and get time to study other tools

I think what people fail to realize, is that in all previous examples they give from history AI didn't exist. You can talk about the anti-type writer movement, the lace industry etc etc, but all of that was still firmly in the control of human beings. Now with AI eventually we won't even need a CZcamsr to sell the AI generated art, eventually AI will do it all. We won't even have clever business men profiting off of AI, because AI will even replace the business men.
This CZcams video shows that the most challenging element of this business plan is already being done by the AI; making the art. The business side that the CZcams us doing is super easy, and AI could probably already do it 100% better than he is doing.

I am business minded- in the sense that I have a lot of incentives and ideas into selling my own art prints in the future. But I also respect the process it takes into creating a highly detailed work of art by hand. Maybe it would be interesting to have AI art as a side-option to sell for a really low price, but fully-hand drawn works of value with their own style will always be far more lucrative - especially now that AI art is flooding the internet. If you have both skills, you'll always be ahead of people who can only generate AI images. Those folks just become one-trick ponies when it comes to creativity. Also, you have to consider the community aspect that is against AI images (reflected on the facebook ad Jensen threw up). There are people who will outright reject and go after you and try to demolish your reputation just because you do only AI - and if there's one group you don't want to piss off online is artists. And you know, that is just alright. We need to have a balance when it comes to new technology, and yes, we do need to be concerned about a lot of jobs (and cultural value) that can potentially be lost due to it. AI image generators may be great for quantity, but what is the point when a bunch of other people will get fucked over and overall product quality of AI images is vastly inferior to pro artists who draw by hand (With most results looking either generic, or heavily distorted in terms of anatomy)? Also, there is already a lawsuit toward OpenAI in the works about ripping off coders on Github that is tied to all of this. And it's the first of many that will come given that the concept art community is also coming together due to many of their artworks being taken without consent by these AI companies benefiting from legal loopholes.
And also, I have to disagree about your point on AI 'creativity' working just like human creativity. In the end, AI can't create anything new and innovative like a human being with their own story and life experience. It takes a couple of weeks going through the Midjourney chats to realize how everything starts to look the same, then hopping onto Artstation and noticing a gigantic difference. Again, I am business-minded too, but I can't ignore the artist in me that is concerned about going to fast with this technology. If we just take advantage from it and completely neglect the community, man it is not going to be good in the long run for artists & the culture in general, and you can't expect people to just go along with the flow when their livelihoods are being threatened by the machine.

There will always be a place for hand-made, hand-drawn art, and in fact that may just gain much more value when the AI imagery trend passes.

Dude, artists aren't mad at ai beacause it's "stolen" or we are too old. AI Art it's mostly easy to get acceptable results. You just need the idea. What counts in art it's execution as well. That's why we don't really like AI users who consider themselves artists. Unless you're using it as a tool for a big project, it isn't art. That's just how it works
I'm sorry but I've only heard of this in the last week, and you're already talking about "That's why we don't really like AI users who consider themselves artists" as if it's some long held tradition.

I zoomed in and even though the letters were distorted, I could clearly see that it said shutter stock. I then inspected the entire image very closely and found 3 more of them, plus a few other errors.
So, if you are selling art, please check the images very well and correct all the errors.
Well, very dangerous waters. It's better to pay real artists than using AI to create original work and no copyright issues.
You should add watermarks to your negative prompts, or use inpainting to remove those
A person spends many years to learn their craft in order to become pro and then someone comes and does the same in 5 minutes with next to no skill. Tell me how would you feel then??? Imagine people who are getting into art now... They will just give up. Or the world will be flooded with mostly AI art with all the associated problems I am too depressed to list.
I hope people will get bored fast with all the ai bullshit. People with real skills are always needed.
It is not that someone comes and steals your work. We as humans pushed AI into this without regulations. When typewriter was introduced to society many people who copies books manuelly became jobless unless you learnt the new typewriter machine. It is not exactly the same example but technology and gears always defined and redefined our way of making living. Now art field is shaping too although art is an abstract field. Very popular artists exploited their art to make millions of dollars and now some non creative people using this new tool to craft computer made art to make a living is okay by me. Yes, traditional artists put hundreds of hours to get the skill so what? Life is always unfair.
@@youtubearsivi9223 bro shut up about regulations is literally impossible to regulate the internet. If they block the sites that generates ai then people will use a VPN to bypass it. If you think that the whole world can come on an agreement to regulate ai then you set your hopes too high.
@Steve if you think nobody cares, you must be blind or ignorant. By your logic you could say why caring about fast fashion, there are other problems. Btw I am an artist and I am caring about the future of all the artists. With new technology, new ai we could solve so many problems. But instead the techcompy developed an ai to replace artists. So they exploing the artists and make profit of it. And no its not a tool, a tool would help the artists and not replacing him completely. Artists don’t have problems doing their work. Only the companies have a problem with „paying the artist“. But go on and support big techcompanies so they can make more billions of dollars and some day they will replace you too, but hey why should we care about you, there are other problems.
the programmers will have last laugh. art is useless. engineers change the way we live in.
So I guess this is it, as if artists don't struggle enough; how does a artist keep up?
Learn to use AI or find another profession. Harsh reality, but it's only gonna get harder if you don't get ahead of it.

Dope. First video I've watched of yours. Thank you for the tips. Stay hustling hard 💎
I'm glad you spent more time than it was worth. There's hope for real artists. Not sure how I feel about all this. I realise it's inevitable, and understand both sides, but it makes me sad. Change is coming. It's always going to hurt people that dedicated their lives to the craft. I see niche artists in the future only releasing their work to galleries and hiding it from the internet with strict security so it cannot be captured digitally to be replicated by AI.
PS: This whole video takes me back to the days where t-shirt websites sprung up everywhere and channels selling you on the idea you could make huge money in it popped up, only to be a total waste of time because the world and his dog were all doing it, and all the hours you spent on t-shirt designs were there just to be copied by others.
The one way to satisfy both is for AI developers to ask for consent of artists to use their works in training dataset and must add digital signature to clearly state that something is generated by AI.
@@myopyaesone1062 In an ideal world.... We both know that's not going to happen
Change always hurts. But I'm sure humanity will solve the problem, just as it did with previous but similar ones.
Without artist’s work there is no AI creations, why people couldn’t understand it they own clearly to artists the creations with AI.

@catapulting cat turds at your face W response
That's where you're mistaken. AI art is like any unique piece of art, the only difference is that it takes seconds to get generated instead of a human spending hours of work making it. Artists who nowadays spend enormous amount of time and energy could simply use this amazing tool to improve their workflow. Of course, using the traditional methods give you 100% of freedom to drawn as exact and precise as you want your art.
Using AI to help you making CZcams thumbnails, for example, it's an excellent idea!
@@thecommentator9181 lol and you artists don't use others people images?
That's literally how the human brain works its literally a computer
@@thecommentator9181 Yes, it is a tool, and an amazing tool btw! AI doesn't mean to take any merit of any artist, what artists do with they art is represent an emotion/feeling/ideia through their work, and the AIs nowadays can do this, you just need to type the right description and improve it, so any visual flaws can be erased. What artists are afraid of is because they maybe think they're too much special, that only the human brain have the capacity to create such visuals out of scratch (I thought the same back in the time), but AIs nowadays are proving the opposite. The artists, as human beings IN FLASH AND BONE, are not special, what makes us special it's our imagination/creativity that only WE HAVE. And if an artificial intelligence proves it can do this kinda work, there's no arguments when there's facts.
Only people who never picks up a pencil in there life would say AI art is real art
Out of all the "Make $1million per day"-ish using A.I art youtube videos out there I have watched I have to be completely honest.... Yours was truly enjoyable, I was excited for you as the video progressed and it seems like you had a real passion for it as you went along.
Im glad i could do this too. As an unfamous artist. I can definitely do the same as ai but not as quick. Its the idea, being creative. If you cant overcome ai and challenge it, at least be creative from it instead of copying art from basic ideas like a red square in a shadow body chest. A great idea is to make the square glow red so it represents a beating heart. Thats what an AI would do n you would get mad and get fired bc your art ideas arent creative enough.
As an artist, it’s not right to replace art careers and jobs with AI art that anyone can generate on the internet and make money. There’s so much to art than AI art. The reason why artists make art is because it conveys emotion, self expression and allows artists to get creative or artistic. AI Art can’t do something all artists can do is convey emotion or self expression in our art because that’s how I feel the same about art too, and same with music. I’m making my art my career but I am still deciding if I want to continue doing art because I don’t want to hear so many negative things people say about doing art as career or job when there is a career or job. Art is more than a career and job it’s an art and we artists convey emotion through art, and it takes hours to complete a painting or drawing we put a lot of hard work, effort, and time into it. This is why non-artists should aim to understand than underestimating artists, and we deserve better.
I like how you present the facts exactly how they've worked out, or not. Your video has also the vibe of the reality, not only AI stuff :). Good content!
Hey Man, gotta appreciate the hustle bro. You portrayed the true story of selling services on fiverr. Most youtubers here, make it seem like a get quick rich scheme however it takes weeks for it to even get started. That's how youtube should be!

The only people that should have access to styles are people that can draw those styles themselves or if given explicit permission by the artist. The public domain offers more than enough and I'm sure artists would have voluntarily offered up some of their works. But the ways it's being handled is akin to plagiarism and identity theft in the art industry.
@Steve There is a difference between taking the time to practice and learn something vs having an AI copy and paste peoples work to put them out of a job. Anybody can draw, you just need to buy the tools - just like anyone can play basketball, they just need a ball. If you can recreate a professional artists style that demonstrates true talent and dedication, if you have an AI do it using other peoples work who've taken the time to learn said skill but you're too lazy and opportunistic that's called plagiarism. Even a little research into Andy Warhol would show that he turned away from those methods and almost got into massive trouble. (Campbell considered suing but liked the publicity. He was later sued by photographer Patricia Caufield for using a shot she took of Marilyn Monroe)
Besides which, AI art is still far from being transformative to any degree. It is simply a more sophisticated way of copying others work without it looking like plagiarism. It even tries to copy artists signatures often, so please, don't give me this bs.
@@redwolfmedia2281 Plagarism is not equated to being lazy. If AI makes an entirely new image out of an original then it will be a new image. You are one spewing bs.
If it takesless effort on the cretors part, then good for them.
@@rickycool6083 I didn't say it was equated to being lazy. I was equating someone who commits plagiarism to a lazy person, cause they are. The AI is not making new images, it's splicing copyrighted ones together.
@@redwolfmedia2281 That's not what the AI is doing at all... It collects data and creates a generalised data set that looks nothing like any of the pictures - it creates multiple "layers" of these generalised data. Imagine a dog in your head. That's a generalised image that was created in your mind from all the data collected. It's similar but AI does it in more "efficient" way thus creates much thinner layers. Although there is a very strong evidence that this is what we do subconsciously as well.
@@dh7899 if this was the case then why does it recreate artist's signatures so often and is so easily able to replicate their work? It may start generalized but it gets more specific, and it only knows that specificaty because it was trained on those data sets. There is no individual flavour added to AI pieces, it is fully plagiarized unless you train it on something that isn't copyright.
That's interesting - thanks ☝🏽
They aren't worried about losing their job to an AI. Their worried about their art being used as a template. Because that's how AI art is created. People don't want their styles that they've worked so hard to refine to be loaded into a database and then pulled from without their consent. I'm all for tech, I'm not for people finding their art style on some for sale website. If they do want to provide art for AI to pull from, it should be an opt in process, not an opt out.
If you post art online that will happen regardless, you know how easy it is for people to screenshot and post photos from deviant art or from a google search. But people also use that as inspiration so its not all bad. But I hear you.
Someone's style isn't legally protected though.
@Thorsten Sushi Well that's the law, doing something with someone's style isn't stealing and can lead to more creativity. For example I asked it to make something in my style which led to my best works yet.
Same with everything.
WOW, I loved your content, first time it's not just a click and bite one, very well done, best from Uruguay!

As an artist I am scared of this new trend , because replacing real artists who put hard work into their paintings and art in general is like creating robots that take people's jobs . I do hope that enough people value more art that was created with love and hard work .
I think there is nothing to do look at the influencers or tick tockers that gain more money than peole working hard in their jobs.
You can use ai art to inspire your creativity and even paint the images yourself :)
I am taking the AI art idea and running with it. I simply see this as tool to help detail up my own art and give myself more creative ideas. Ill be taking some very old sketches, rendering them as AI, picking the best fit, and painting it myself! I believe there is still hope for the starving artists out there who don't just make this their hobby. I feel this really could be another tool to promote hand-made art!
But the problem is that, why would someone commision you if they can just use the AI themselves. Sure, some love the hand made aspect of it. But the majority of clients across the web just prefer a product regardless of how it's made.
@@Thesamurai1999 cause a lot of people actually suck at generating good art (I've actually heard people say they can't make good ai art, lol) also there are people who generate the art & then change it up or "fix it" to sell, speaking from experience. :)

For future reference, if you wanted to do this again, there's an option to created a sharable link for Stable Diffusion on another PC. I generate stuff at work all the time on my work laptop through a bookmarked URL and it uses my home GPU to do all the processing.

As a voice actor, I get where these artists are coming from. AI voiceovers have become wildly popular and it's a bit of a worrying trend to us in the voiceover industry. But at the end of the day, most of us realize that most people will always want a human to do a voiceover because there are certain nuances in the real human voice that AI voiceovers just can't capture---well yet, anyway.

I don’t know anything about this stuff but, as a painter myself, what is your opinion about my making master copies of well known paintings? I have primarily done this for learning and inspiration. In 2020 I painted a large master copy of Sergeant’s “Street in Venice,” a work by him that I have always admired and loved. At the end of painting the copy, I decided to change the female in the center of the painting to a female nurse with a mask on. I thought the image was a perfect way for me to represent the heroism of healthcare workers during the peak of the pandemic crisis. So far I have refused to sell the painting mostly because I haven’t wanted to part with it. While the setting of the painting is Sergeant’s Venice, the meaning of the painting is entirely different even though it is painted with Sargent’s technique as closely as I could achieve.
Now, I’m thinking that AI art might be an excellent tool for artists much in same way that moving pictures at the end of the 19th Century was a tool for Picasso’s and Braque’s invention of cubism while most painters of that day saw film as a threat. Thoughts?

There are limits to what AI can do. But it's improving day by day. Mankind must value the skills and talents that we possess. We create new realms and new disciplines with what we can imagine. AI learns from that but can only replicate it poorly. If mankind stops creating, AI will only be able to rehash what was created before. But that may not be bad if we hanker for the good old days. 🤷♂️

“Artist losing their job to tech” is the wildest shit ive heard .
As a son of two artist with one who have made it on a international level and the other on national level I just want to say that I am not afraid and think it's a nother process you can use to make art. Making good art is all about breaking or addressing some type of boundary that activates the viewer. That is why Jack Pollock is seen as art. It wasn't done before and broke boundary of what can be seen as art. I am currently managing an art project funded by the country and have been blown away with the lose of quality in art in the region that I am working at. Everyone started calling them selves artists who can make something visually nice, that has been done over and over again. Saying all that since the digital revolution, we have been more focused on the production side of things since that is used in design a lot. Like how a portrait can be considered art but nothing new. Art is about a type of expression that leaves a impression. That is why I loved the concept of the cover art for the music guy and consider it art. The music is based on emotions mixed in with life. I have never done the drugs he probably was on, but it left a impression that was based on someone's impression. Now that impression is based on a digital model where it depends on the data set. Is that art idk, is it vage, hell yeah! But does it open up a world of possibilities, yeah... So iam all for it and not afraid, it's a great way in adding up the quality of art, since it's allows people use it as inspiration or even a production piece. The mindset has been used in art categories like, Pop art, DaDa and more. Now you are a real artist where you make something new that can be considered it's own categorie. Also art is not the same as design even though it can overlap.

The thing is, There are sections to every job,
There are great artists, then the good ones and then mediocre artists
While Great and good artists earn more per project and deliver great results, Mediocre section thrives on low pay per job but a good amount of orders,
the way AI is doing now, it is threatening the jobs of the same section where absolute perfection is unnecessary and average results are accepted for a lower pay
It is easy to say "Adapt" when you're not in the same boat,

even in my own graphic design groups, they are posting posts about banning AI. i understand their feeling about it. people with no artistic talents are usually posing as an artist but using AI.
They should. For instance there are people for the past few years, usually foreigners coming into the 1970s celica group, posting terrible Toyota Celica shirts with mixed era stuff on it. Like they have the 90s Toyota (T) on them when that has nothing to do with 70s Toyotas really. They just look bad, and these aren't even A.I. as far as I know they're just people trying to get money or every dollar that they can by selling cheap T shirts to car fans.
I think prompting correctly is an art in and of itself.
I get it, but hear me out as a person who uses Midjourney and just started an Instagram page for my AI Arts. First, I never lie about me making the arts by myself, i always add that "this art is AI generated" for example.
For me, Midjourney AI is making my dreams come true. I always wanted to be someone who can express himself thru art, i compose music, but my drawings and paintings are awful, i have a condition which makes my writing unreadable aswell. Now, I can easily "create" and express myself thru Art by giving detailed prompts and choosing the one which is the closest to what i imagined. Banning something like AI art kills freedom, while arts or designs made by humans will always be more original and will always worth more.

Again I think AI is still only a tool but it’s good to see film, video, movie, book and art productions happening at a faster pace. For me it’s nice to think of something and then poof have a rough image there to look at immediately for more inspiration.
Wow...No dislikes ...should be very ethical thing to do😀
As an experienced Traditional medium artist and digital 3d modeler. there is a huge difference between someone just spamming lazy cheap ai art and a true artist spending hours defining prompts and image training and refining AI art. I personally believe prompt writing is an art form in of itself. I love creating Ai Art for Inspiration and new styles. I see no issue with someone selling their Original Ai Art as it is just a new Medium for artists to explore
4:02 true. these traditional artists brains are exploding.
great job! 😀
Found this so funny, I have to accept the new technology even though it may harm my art. I'm having a lot of fun with it right now and yes you have to do a bit of retouching to get exactly what you want out of AI. Loved the video!
Question: Did you mention on your gigs that all your "arts" are AI generated?
no he didn't
No he didn't. It's interesting to see that the buyers didn't seem to notice but I think this is the main immoral thing here
He says he did somewhere in the description of the fiverr account. Wasn't included in the video for some reason.
1:46 He did mention it
he just said that AI was used to “enhance” the images, nothing about the art being AI generated
Seems like A LOT of work and hours put in for $80. I like your 30 day challenges. Very real!
dude, the first minute of the video had me laughing, high quality content, subscribed, thanks man
Click bait much? The cover shows over $6000 made. That is quite different than $80. This video was completely useless.
He cant be consistent if the computer he´s using for it aint his.
You need to actually have some skills as an illustrator or artist though tbh.
Atleast basic photoshop skills.
Some requests can get so specific that you will have a hard time with JUST AI otherwise. But very interesting
I agree, what if you get a request and the customer wants a certain picture created with different poses.. how do you get the AI to do that? it just creates new images I don't think it can take the same image but do variations in regards to angles.. I guess that is where advancements in AI art generators comes in as well as prompt professionals that know the language to get it do that..
@@wesley6442 it can. you can feed it parts of the image and ask to change stuff. or just draw basic shapes you want yourself and ask AI to enhance it with img2img. there is a lot of stuff, that can work super great for concept artists. but most people only focus on the 'text propmt' side of ai art
yeah wait until it's perfected, we artists are just gonna get thrown under the bus the second that happens
@@ergohash2517 I've tried it and with no luck.
@@awa418 Probably takes atleast a decade
Your true art is your own, Only for you
I believe printed Ai is definitely coming. I have looked into several ways to do it, and would welcome help
If any one can type on AI, why would people buy it? Because they don't have time to refine the prompt or generated image?
because they doesn't know it yet
The comments thread is very interesting for me. I always loved drawing, and 30+ years later I am still drawing/painting a lot and constantly improving my skills, and for me it is nice to know that as long as I live and be able, I will continue to have this. I do this for myself, to relax, stay grounded and curious, and to pay attention. When having the opportunity to play with AI I found that sometimes it made some compositions and lighting scenes very interesting but it is still very limited in ideas and you can almost always tell is AI art, you need to constantly feed it, is not reliable. However, it did opened my eyes on how he compiled compositions and made me think my drawings slightly differently. The Ai improved my traditional skills. That being said, I am positive that it won't be able to match them and even if someday it could, art is more than making money for the artist is something he must do, like eating. Making money from art is like a wonderful bonus. For someone who wants to sell a book that he wrote in a month just for cash, an AI for the cover will be enough. A person who put his blood and tears into writing a book for all the good reasons, will search for something with more meaning for the cover. This is why I am not scared that artists jobs will disappear, probably they will adapt, play upon AI strengths, get even better, or make other things as well. I agree though that AI should be regulated somehow in order not to learn from copyright material without permission- this would make it learn a bit slower and society will have time to understand it's ramifications properly.
if you are confident that ai could not create music, art or anything else for more eliquently and beautifully than the greatest human minds, then you are a fool
There is nothing special about our brains and computers can be far far more powerful, with far more resoarses at hand
i dont think it'll be too long untill we can type in what movie we want to watch, and films the likes of studio ghibli could never match will come out
@@benjaminRhodesLEGO I still don't see how people would be lining up in a museum to see Ai art gallery shows, because even if it can generate wonderful pixels, it cannot generate an experience of self discovery as meaningful. People are craving genuine human interaction even if they can interact with Ai, they crave to see the ocean even if they have a perfectly depicted wall of monitors with the ocean and sound waves at home. And the movie in studio Ghibli style is in a style made by artists, we still need artists to generate unique styles for the AI to be able to copy and reiterate. We still acknowledge and search for the beauty and quality of craftsmanship versus a mass produced perfectly uniform item.
@@pseudonim4158 Unique styles can be created with reinforcement learning. We'd just need something that could judge styles like a human for that. And you could get that by user data in an app for art e.g.
@@je6a478 at one point artists should learn to encrypt their data and there will be no new information for the bot to be inspired from, making it's environment limited to it's initial input and a (quite big) number of combinations ( if I understand the concept correctly)
Man you're incredible!
Solid first name my man
Hi Jensen I want to know more, How did you imagine the Brief given by your client and translate to AI prompt instruction?
AI images are not art. Art is the manifestation of soul and will. These are just images obtained by code. Code has no will nor soul. The only art in these AI is the code itself written by the programmers. But even then, it's just really bad taste art.
But even more important than that, the fun part of art is the process. If this shit becomes standard for any reason, then life becomes meaningless, boring, purposeless. People will turn into stupid entities that type numbers on a text field in order to "see what the computer gives in return" and in a few decades humanity will have lost it's soul.
Think what would happen if this happend to music or writing, which are other forms of art. Humans will just become useful idiots.
Then again there is a lot of stuff i would not spend time drawing the ai is perfect for that. The ai doesn't spit out exactly what i want so it doesn't replace drawing by myself.
Is no on mentioning how amazing that first artwork is
I like that you were honest and didnt claim to make 10k$
I played around with an AI art program last night. I been wanting to build a diorama scene for a little while now, but not knowing even where to begin or how to picture it coming together intimidated me from even attempting it. After a quite obscure prompt, and actually having fun with it, I ended up with one I really liked and I'll be using that as the basis for my first diorama. I just hope it won't be a disaster.
I like how you were sincere. Most videos show how they made like 5k a month where you were honest and said you only made like 80$. Well done!
I bet his friends and himself paid for those jobs lol
Awesome new gig! Mind giving us tips on how to put more details on AI art "prompt". Cheers!
Does AI art work on a canvas? I have a new etsy store and am considering AI art to make landscape scenes, considering it will flow with my own photography that I am selling. Any advice would be appreciated. CHEERS!
The fact remains this wouldn't be possible if it didn't take from the backs of hard working artist the founder admitted to using “hundreds of millions” of images to scraped from the internet without obtaining permission. What took them years to master their craft to produce an art piece can take from weeks-months. Now anyone can just engineer prompts to produce them within minutes in the masses and monetized. You can even produce the exact same copy of art in the style of any artist or any famous non-existing artist. I would feel much comfortable about it if in the beginning they approached any of these artist knowingly to make an agreement to use their art or even at least offer to employ them. I'm already seeing many people monetizing services the art this AI produces not just big companies but people in general. 100% I like the idea of not picking up a pencil, digital pen or even a camera just thinking about what I want through my mind to produce and making more of it just from my fingertips its godlike.
The artists this ai had been trained on are not getting royalties. Their signatures are even in the images sometimes.
If you read stable diffusion terms it says you can't sell the images for profit.
Thanks to hubspot for sponsoring this video.
can you link me where it says that?
@@KowaiiSoHe can't, because it doesn't 😁
@@chriscampbell1645 I can
Do other artists pay for the pieces they took inspiration from? What a stupid take...
@@VocaloidEnjoyer1 But MidJourney or others AIs are NOT artists ☺️, I see many people like you making the comparison but it’s not relevant at all, AI are not human they doesn’t have feeling.
They’re just a tool, their process for making a picture has nothing to do with a human illustrator, it’s algorithm, training with datas.
You don’t understand how is working the technology you’re defending and how a creative process by humans is made.
This sucks for a lot of people. Some will lose money or even jobs, but this is great for people who don't have money. People can do this for free and that's great to start a small project or business with not a lot of money on hand.
Hey for diamond in the ruff pic and all, how or what did you say in the AI program to create that?
AI will definetely not replace art made by real artists anytime soon. Art comes from the heart. When we see a piece from Monet or Van Gogh, we see the world through their eyes, their hardships and feelings. An AI can learn and emulate from that, but it will not create new ways of seeing the world.
I paint both in traditional oil painting and digital painting using Clip. I would compare an AI to a fast environment where if you need something really fast which would take you hours to create, the AI does it in minutes, but you still need to put your heart into it if you want to call it yours. Otherwise, every piece that the AI does for you will be a piece without identity.
If you are an artist that works on comissions you can benefit from it, like front-end devs use Figma, SO, git and any other tool instead of compiling every single task.
I suggest that artists start using this to their benefit, because whether you like it or not, AI is the next generation tool for almost every field.
But AI is not making these pictures by it self. You give it orders, you give it descriptions, colors, environment, specific... so you still can make it very much personalized like you would do with art made by hand, and if done correctly it wont look generic and you would be seeing the world through the artists eyes.
@@lazar2949 Spoken like someone who isn't an artist. The process, suffering, knowledge (i.e. core shadows, line weight, reflection, construction), compromises, etc. etc. etc. are all part of the soul. Machine-learning art is in no way comparable to actual art.
@@HatefulPerfection I am an artist, im oil painting for years. But im also a developer and i understand how AI works, and just because AI is not using the same methods to create art as a human, doesnt mean it isnt. Mechanism behind all that is just beautiful.
@@lazar2949 It isn't art.
Understanding machine-learning isn't difficult and you're outsourcing literally all the talent to a prompt output from which you're choosing elements. It's 'design' at absolute best and nowhere near soulful art.
It's not beautiful. It's irresponsible and lacks depth.
I also don't accept your input 'as an oil painter' or 'developer', random guy online. That's some very reddit-tier comment framing.
@@HatefulPerfection Understanding machine learning is not difficult? sure buddy
You dont have to accept it, im literally painting right now. But i love technology as well, especially AI field.
When art programs first came out, there was no backlash. People saw it kind of like having a new instrument to use when composing music -- use it or don't. It's strange, we all thought that garbage men and waiters would be the first to be replaced by robots. No one thought it would be commercial artists.
Please speak for yourself and not for the rest of mankind because I certainly didn't think garbage men would be the first to be replaced. Their work is far too complex, fast pace and diverse for even the most advanced robots and ai tools currently in development. We will have colonies on Mars and garbage men will still collect our garbage during a snowstorm in wintertime even then.
If anything customer support, menial office labor and teachers will be the next on the technological chopping block
There was HUGE backlash when photoshop came out. Honestly, it's all technology and the fear of being replaced. It's very human.
@@Avenger222 Wait can you explain why was there backlash for photoshop?
Because it allowed people to create things that took a lot of skill prior. It diminished the monopoly skilled individuals had on the various markets.
@@elkforests It's funny that you'd say that, because that's exactly the same with AI art. Anyone who says you can just type something and the AI will generate this amazing piece of artwork for you has clearly never actually tried it. I think this is part of the reason why people are freaking out so much.
Every AI art that you see online that looks halfway decent is something that the prompter spent hours working on, and he probably had to refine the image in Photoshop or Gimp.
Ironically enough, if you already have artistic talent, you have a great advantage with AI art, because you already have the necessary skills to make sure the image looks great.
I'm pretty sure the AI's art is better than my stick figures, it's like comparing Monet to a preschooler's drawing
You should definitely start an ai print on demand business. I'd watch that.
Is this legal? I thought the terms of service doesn’t allow this
I've used these AI programs. It's really hard and time consuming to get what you want. Many requests are outright impossible to get. As you could see in this video, you also need editing skills to fix things.
wowwww its totally not like artists do that x10 because they actually need skills, technique and execution
Yup it’s not as easy as everyone thinks it is which is why you can tell the artists that are complaining have never actually used one 😂 if you want to do something generic it’s easy but if you want to put your own style and get exactly what you want it takes time. I’ve spent hours just on one image before.
@@tigerpaws111 I'm an artist and I've written paragraphs and taken also a lot of time to describe what i wanted ,it's never as i envisioned in my head and frankly I neither feel bad or appreciate your "hours" that go into an image because i and every other artist have spent years of our lives practicing and hating their work and having to get better in order to produce the art we want to see in the world to feed the stupid program or database so lozers can generate their ideas- I have piles of sketchbooks of my trash art and I have to practice a lot more to get where I want so yeah,
tl;dr wahhh i have to type words

@@m_r-ock6508 ikr...💀
all the people saying that they spent hours and still couldn't get what they want on ai art as if artists don't spend literal years
new subscriber bro what an idea good job
I am an artist. And I also LOVE ai art. If artists were to "!adapt to survive" they should take ai art and make it their own u ique thing and run with it. Its like a cheat sheet. Dont hate°•☆ create! ❤
Damn money hungry gym bros ruin everything
I think Ai art gives everyone the opportunity to use their imagination and ideas and also to be creative. The way i see it, it will be beneficial in time for manual artists because their work will increase in value if ai art becomes more common. The same happened with a lot of traditional things for ex: making kimonos. (an automatically made kimono is around 15$ while manual ones are over 700$ the least). It is a shame that people think it would be doomsday when history has shown that with new technology, the value of the manual one increases.
Problem is, why would anyone buy a $700 Kimono if you can get the exact one for only $15 by a machine. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand your point, Iam a graphic designer myself and I'm bothered by all this AI trend as well. It's like all the time you spent studying went for nothing, when anyone who has a computer can now just type what they want and it's all done automatically efortlessly for them... That's actually what its all about. AI just makes everything more accessible for more people which is kinda gonna push the limits now. Everyone will be able to great art pieces now, but the PRO's will always have the upper hand which leads to alot of improvements and better art will still exist. Only now it's gonna take even more effort to be better than others. You can see improvements all around us, look at agriculture for example. People back in the day had to manually plant seeds and stuff, now you got a machine for everything to do it in a fraction of time... I could write an essay on so many examples but the point is, that technology is gonna evolve us for the better.
@@AlphaCollectorCZ because they appreciate quality. :) anyone will be able to have Ai stuff but not everyone will be able to have craftsmanship art. The expensive kimono is bought by rich people etc. There is also the colored bricks or glass from Morraco which is the same case also. I think it is more of a change of public in a way. There are more examples out there of simmilar cases. There is a CZcams channel, something with "so expensive".
@@AlphaCollectorCZ Having human art work stolen and vomited back at you by a prediction engine is not evolving us forward, if AI was actually intelligent and not plagiarism ... maybe, but this iteration is just theft.
Cool video man 😗
