As someone who spent over 20 hours drawing 3 submissions and didn’t get picked, it’s infuriating to think that someone used AI… AND took up more slots than allowed! If they don’t make it a point to not allow AI next year I won’t bother submitting anything. I’ve been an artist my entire life and this is like a slap in the face to the 3 decades of practice I put into learning how to draw.
I full agree! UPDATE: I’m about to make a follow up video but it looks like Pokémon is disqualifying those A.I. entries and selecting new contestants to fill those spots 🎉
@@PokeFangOfficial yay
Why aren't they disqualified?? The second AI image generation touches pokemon card illustration, my family and I are boycotting Pokémon cards.
I know 😔 I hope they crack down on it or they will be in some serious trouble. I think people will just only want the cards from real artists.
@@PokeFangOfficial yeah, it would be unwise for them to print AI art on Pokemon cards, no matter that the context or reason is. Great video explaining the situation. I'm not on X/Twitter, and I've cut social media from my routine and uninstalled the apps from my phone, so I'm not really informed on these things lately. The video helps to inform people like like me, so thank you!
Wow, that's so crazy. As someone with an untrained eye those looked ok to me at first glance, but after you pointed out things like the water bubbles in the air or the latex looking wet Pikachu, there's no doubt these are AI generated. I agree that they should have to upload their working files with layer history for contests like this. I just hope this person doesn't end up winning with any of these 😬
Same! I can’t imagine what it would do to the hobby if Ai becomes acceptable
Pokemon tcg final did something about it 2 or 3 days ago now. Its disappointing that large company with an equally large franchise took as long as they did to straighten this mess out, even more disappointing that they allowed it to happen in the first place.
Hopefully we won't see a repeat of this in other medias and so on.
I posted an update video on their response! Thank goodness they did the right thing.
Thank you for speaking out. I wanted to enter this contest but couldn't finish my painting in time, now I'm thinking that I might have dodged a bullet.
Thank you so much for covering this. I'm a working artist and huge pokemon fan (I'm not an illustrator though), so much more discussion is needed on this!
Thank you for the support! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
I don't do social media so the first I heard of this from Rattle's vid. Your knowledge of the topic gave this vid an incredible amount of depth. Very well done and the best take I've seen about this problem.
Thank you! 🙏
I feel like the person gave a Jolteon artwork as a prompt, I swear I’ve seen that card but with Jolteon 18:30
I am glad that you got this out there. I had no idea! I love art and I truly appreciate the time and effort that artists put into their work. I hate to see that ruined by AI.
💯💯💯
There is a straightforward way to solve the problem with AI submission in any art contest. You have to show your painting process on a time-lapse video.
Dang brother! Really great video going into detail with all these AI images. It sucks that people are starting to use this tech to compete against real artists and all their hard work. But thank you for shining light to it! 🔥🔥
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks man! 🙌🏻
like, is the quality control for submissions also an AI? I appreciate the thorough breakdown and the professional critique, Fang. that being said, these are glaringly obvious 😢
Thank you! I know the whole thing is a mess
Ai art is so recognizable imo
Those Luvdisc and the Vaporeon are definitely a giveaway in the first image, and the tiny Vaporeon in the other one too. Thanks for pointing these things out, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for these from now on.
VK is out there like 🫣😅🥸
Dang VK be trying to spoof all us to get that 💰 💴
Thank you very much for the super in depth look at this controversy. I fully believe you are an expert in this field after listening to you for a while. Time to step it up Pokemon! Also, thiccest line... on the butt. LOL
lol never trust a thiccc butt line 😂
I can’t believe they aren’t addressing this it’s crazy and the crazy part it’s ai that entered it’s a full ai take over first it’s Pokémon next it’s the government
I posted an update video!
Dude, can’t believe no one mentioned that yet! It’s a wrap on this, AI for sure 10:47
I like this video content, but hate that people are using AI for art!
Facts!
It is crazy how much untrustworthy people there are. It's almost has to turn into needing to video a design 100% to prove it's authentic
Crazy thing is most digital artists are using Procreate which does export the process Timelapse by default. So they really should have to document the process, it would even make good promotional material for the contest.
@@PokeFangOfficial that would be perfect for authentication purposes
The fact that no one points out how w e i r d sitting Pikachu's feet are is so funny to me cuz that just instantly jumped out to me, it just looks wrong both in terms of proportions and angle, like Pikachu is supposed to be aimed straight at camera, while the overall body is looking to the side and also weirdly... veiny. Aurora Eevee I def find to be the most convincing, everything else is too perfect yet too uncanny and weird, and names are just an instant give away
They should have done Wobbofet in a gimp suit.
I tried to enter. None of my entries went through. They need to find ways to prevent AI images to get through.
So they finally did something about the person who took slots with AI and multiple accounts. The individual has been banned. Took the large multibillion dollar company long enough to do something about this.
@@hikaru9624 when I entered this one art contest, we had to show WIP images along with the final image to show we are not cheating. We need more rules and regulations to stop people using AI from cheating.
@@KaeMcSpadden agreed about the ai needing regulations. Not just for competitions, the us of shouldn't be allowed in my opinion, but by law.
I wouldn't know what the process was as I've never taken part in these competitions. Them wanting to see wips does make sense though.
From what I read on another site, that vaporeon was stolen from another artist
this is just so sad
I can’t tell 😮
What fun is there in collecting cards if all is AI generated. Would not be worth my money in my eyes. Same with content. They should pick different Pokémon next year. Off course Pikachu and Eevee are easy to generate.
I’d assume they know AI generated art would be a possibility in their contest. Question is where they want to allow it or not
im pretty sure they dont allow for "assisted" art, so ai should count?
its a bad thing to do plus ai art barely looks good half of the right
😢Just wrong
yes i thought the same way.....how the jury will separate between AI dan real illustration? that's the problem
I know, they gotta figure out a way to prove the art is real. A documented process or layered files.
@@PokeFangOfficial yes they need to send raw file with layers and anything
You will LEARN to hail A.I...
We won’t have a choice 😂
I think they look great. Yes Ai makes art easy and no effort but it looks like it’s the next step. First they were hand drawn then computer drawn now Ai generated
ooooooooooh buhu fwho tf cares as long as the artwork looks good 💀💀💀💀
🤡
To be clear, if you read the contest rules, it doesnt forbid AI.
When I searched keywords like AI, artificial intelligence, etc nothing populated.
The only rule that comes close is you have to name the digital program you used. So potentially its permissible as long as you name it.
Its 2024, A.i. art is art.
I'm sure pecil artists felt the same way about digital art when it first came out.
Also so much ai integration into digital art software now, kinda blury where you draw the line.
Some a.i. art generation software has publicly stated the art you generate is yours as well, so no real legal issue there either.
The only contest rule potentially broken is the limit of 3 entries per person, excess can result in disqualification. But it hasn't been confirmed yet that its one person using aliases, just speculated upon, could be a crazy coincidence until official confirmation.
Community is kind of sensationalizing fake outrage imo, people claiming its not fair, I dont really see how, everyone could access and utilize ai if they wanted to compete.
If the competition was strictly drawn, i'd understand, but from my point of view it looks like an ai art contest.
I fail to see the moral dilemma, I've read speculation that ai just rips off images from the internet. Not a precisely accurate statement, imagine you as a human look at four pictures of charmander then draw a charmander, you didnt rip off the charmander pictures, you just taught ourself how to draw it. Thats what machine learning is.
Please stop making excuses for grifters, scammers and cheats. These image generators can be useful tools and that's a discussion to have another day, but at the end of the day there's a possibility that this person used it to cheat in a competition, and that's not a good look for the technology regardless of whether you support or oppose it. I think it's important for the Pokemon Company to at least look into this situation.
you don't submit photos to an pensil art competision.
The Art submission rules also states: ⅲ.If a Submission contains materials belonging to a third party that has provided Entrant with permission to use such materials in the Submission, Entrant must provide written copies of such permission on request by the Sponsors and ensure that the permission allows Sponsors to use the materials in full for any purpose as stated in section 8 below.
Seeing As the work AI makes can be considdered 3rd party and not made by the one who submitted it than the program that made the AI images must give permission. however since AI (currently) does not have intulectual property attached to it you can't get permission nor claim it's your work.
It's like finding shells on a beach, you may sift for days to find the nicest shell you can get but you never made nor designed that shell.
while others have made their shells using their craft.
The main concern is that the majority of art used to train the machine learning engine that generates text to image results have been used without the artists permission. In the early days it would pull images from absolutely anywhere as a reference and would often include watermarks and signatures of the original artist who did not consent to train the ai, in the final Ai generated imagery.
It gets worse when you consider that now almost every platform that allows for the sharing of imagery, or even creation of imagery (photoshop) have updated their terms to state that they can use any images you create to train their Ai, and use them wherever they want. Basically the second you share an image online, you are opening it up to train an Ai whether you agree to it or not and you get nothing in return while billionaires make all the money.
Then there’s the aspect of undermining the illustration contest. It’s in the name… illustration, what’s been submitted is not illustrated, it’s generated. You can’t win a marathon by bringing a photoshopped image of you crossing the finish line. The runners (or illustrators) can win, but someone who faked the run, cannot. It’s that simple.
Btw, I mentioned in the video that this person may be operating within the guidelines, but even then the Same art style across 4 alias’s is pretty damning.
check the vaporeon in the background of the 3:22 image, then compare to LaPumpkINK's mermay vaporeon piece and tell me thats 'learning to draw'. tell me that's 'inspiration'.
its okay to have no talent. its okay to not want to develop a talent. but to then enter a competition that involves talent, using a tool that blatantly and explicitly steals art, and then pretend that it's exactly the same as having the talent? you people are pathetic
@@hydrogen-8 I mean to do Ai art effectively you would need to compensate for short falls like possible plagiarism. Also the vaporeon may have been straight up photoshopped in on top of a separate AI generated image. No real proof of how they were done exactly. To some degree all pokemon art is replicating a copyright protected image/ monster. It's difficult to say how different a pose has to be or slight alterations have to exist to not constitute plagiarism in art... There was an artist taking pictures of people off instagram not too long ago and was slightly altering them and that was a fiasco.
A.i. art done skillfully is actually exceptionally difficult if youre trying to create something precisely in your minds eye with extensive written prompts going well over 100k words.
Also i'm not an A.i. artist and I prefer hand drawn art. And I don't like being insulted, so please refrain from calling me pathetic or other insults. I recognize you as a human and will give you that common respect.
I'm sure hand drawn artist felt the same way when photoshop and digital art rolled out, its just another art tool that people are having a difficult time adjusting to.
There is so much AI assist in digital art programs as is, there line and where you draw it, is pretty murky now any way.
