As an artist, I think I've identified why AI art specifically hits this horrible, gut-wrenching dread button for almost every artist I've talked to: It jams its finger right onto every artist's first and worst insecurity - "Why should I make this if someone else can make it better?" And the answer, of course, is that we love to create, and we love making art, and our unique personhood and experience means that the art we create will not be quite like anyone else's. We eventually learn to trust our audience when they say "holy shit! Two cakes!" But the existential dread doesn't ever fully neutralize. It scabs over and eventually scars, but it's still a sore spot. We pour years of our life into improving our craft, cursed with the artist's perspective of fixating on the flaws in our own work. We eventually accept that constant improvement means we'll lose the ability to enjoy our older work. We have to learn not to self-deprecate and to trust our audience to draw their own conclusions. So when someone takes their thumb, jams it right into that old wound and proudly crows that their Anime Waifu Generator can do exactly what you do but better and cheaper, it hurts like hell, no matter how untrue or irrelevant it is. It's pain on pain, exacerbated by the gleeful dickishness of the people being most aggressive about it. It's an old, solved problem. We've all already learned how to create despite feeling outclassed. We know how to practice focusing on the merit of our own, unique work instead of constantly comparing ourself to others. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. It just means the pain will pass. -R

If it helps, AI will never be able to understand themes, nuance, or niche forms of beauty in ways that humans can. Because of that, people will always want to commission art, even from artists who aren't top tier, to bring their incredibly specific ideas to life. I could easily ask an AI to draw one of the characters in my book, but it'd never be able to capture the little details in their expressions that I imagine. A real artist will always be preferable for things that personal.

Maybe it's because I'm only a hobbyist artist, but I never felt this way about it. Maybe that's because I don't think about someone else making the thing I make but better. My ideas are so specific that nobody was ever going to make them if it wasn't me, and I refuse to let them just rattle around in my head without at least trying to take a shot at them. All the AI art does is make endless disposable mainstream stuff, and it allows me to at least make _something_ on the days when I'm too uninspired to draw for myself.

Yeah. But that's just because it turns out that it's harder to make the body than the brain. The bodies are in development and will be here soon. The thing is, just because AI can make art doesn't mean we can't also do it. We don't actually have to work more than ever either, we're forced to, but it's not because we really need to. We've already reached post-scarcity, we just haven't been able to get rid of the oppressive system and the people that enjoy it yet. But this oppressive system is even more obsolete than art, at this point oppressing humans is just something the economic elite does as a hobby because they're bored, there is no real reason for it. And in the same way we can all make art without there being any real reason for it. Pretty soon we'll have all the robots and gene editing and cure for aging and all that fancy stuff, and then we can just live for the sake of living, for ever. It's going to be an adjustment.

It's staggering how many of the problems mentioned trace back to the system we've immersed ourselves in. From artists not being able to make minimum wage, to free time being an absolute luxury, to crypto bros looking for a quick buck, to corporations embracing whatever direction will help their bottom line. At what point do we stop blaming new technology and start blaming a system meant to exploit the many in favor of the few? We're waaaaay past the point where every human should have food security, housing and sufficient income regardless of their work. AI amplifies this on a massive scale by automating so much more. So I'd say we need to look at more fundamental structures of how we organize society or we're just pushing the problem further down the line.

When you mention how animators and texture artists have been using ai tools for a long time, i think primarily they will be talking about photogrammetry and motion capture. The photogrammetry is obviously fairly automatic, but motion capture is not a simple plug and play automation. You have to resolve the delta between a captured actor and the target model, as well as manage interpolations between capture frames. Then on top of that you have to tweak animations to account for collisions, timing, and character performance. Its actually quite involved and not really automatable.

He's not talking about that though. He's talking about situations where a digital artist, for a movie or a videogame, will use AI to do the grunt work of creating the "textures" on repeating surfaces like walls. It's essentially just a piece of art pasted onto the digital surface, kind of like a matte painting might be used for the background in an old movie, or a digital version in a modern movie or game.

@CaptainKeen Repeating textures are not a problem that needs solving by AI. Tiling textures barely even exist anymore in game development. Nearly everything is already produced procedurally through a series of layering and combining nodes of noise and math and distortions. Computers can already programmatically generate these nodes, so when an artist or tools programmer doesn't use those, it's because they are looking for very specific controls, at which point it's much easier to build and arrange texture elements by hand.

I don't want to discourage you but if you look up developments in any aspect of motion capture (from face to hands and full body capture) there is AI based research and major progress towards automatically converting any captured motion (sometimes even in realtime) to character animation. Last of Us Part II and maybe the remake of the first one already use a technique called motion matching, where instead of handcrafted animation for defined inputs and scenarios, the game searches a motion capture/animation library to fit the current pose to the situations (alongside some IKs).

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an artist, a musician, and I also wanted to create video games. I got my first guitar and keyboard at 8 years old, just cheap $100 starter instruments, but never had lessons due to being poor. As a teenager I kept messing around with the instruments, but just wasnt as advanced as other people my age due to me just not putting in the time to practice and work through the sounding bad parts to get to the sounding good parts. Same with drawing - I pretty much gave up because it require way too much discipline and time that I would rather spend hanging out with friends, reading, or playing video games. Then when I was 17, I finally got serious about art and music. I really wanted to express myself through those mediums. So I spent my free time playing guitar, playing piano, drawing everything around me, and learning the techniques that great artists and musicians use to create great music and art. It took a bit of patience, but within a year, there was a difference, and that made me want to see how much better I could get. It was a journey that made every work of art or piece of music not simply a reflection of my emotions or place in life, but a stillframe of a moment in my journey to better the skills that I had been working on and dreaming of since I was a little kid. I'm 38 now. I play guitar, piano, cello, and bass. I sing, I draw, I do tattoos, and love using graphite more than anything as an artist. Now, I have started to attempt to write a little bit of code, and am creating pixelated textures that I can use when creating custom levels in Quake 1 - this is the very beginning of that last dream I had as a kid, to create video games. I don't expect it to be something I make a living doing, but it's something I'm passionate about. I am patient, and I know that my patience and dedication to the hobby will yield results, as it would for anyone who spent the time trying instead of using a text prompt and expecting a copyrighted work of art.

I am a professional artist for 11 years and an art educator for 5 years now and in my experience you can take away the stylus from a digital artist and they will still be able to create a picture wirh a pen. You take away the oil paints from a painter and they will still draw with a pen. You take away the ai generator and those people will cry that they won't be able to do art anymore. Even a photographer can explain to you the process, the lense width, the angle and the tools they needed. Give them a pen and they will scribble you the composition and values they want. Art takes time, knowledge and human ingenuity. Those tech bros think they found a cheat code to not practise art for doing art. But there is no cheat code and artist won't get replaced any time soon by ai and two lines of prompt. It is still frustrating though, that someone unwilling to take the time to work on doing art demands recognition for fiddling with a piece of software. (And to the people coming at me with "I have no tiiiiiime": learn to live with your limitations and draw anyway. I had to work shitty part time jobs and draw in between for years!)

No matter how much he tried it ended looking quite different from the style popular at the time. But after while he just let go. The style he ended up going towards became Van Gogh style. Something new. So in case of humans even if you consciously try to emulate some of your influences, it always will be tainted with your personal touch and imperfections....and that's actually good.

Van Gogh wasn't actually particularly original. Many of his paintings are very blatant copies of other artists' works, and even "his" signature impasto style was borrowed from Adolphe Monticelli. An AI or even a photoshop filter could have generated most of his paintings, by putting a Monticelli impasto effect over the works he ripped of. Van Gogh is famous today because his next of kin knew how to do a successful PR campaign.

When you come home from your desk job and chat to an AI, watch an AI movie, and finish with your own bedtime AI story why should you care how other people feel, what's happening in another country?

Many of us would keep doing it anyway for free even if AI out-do everything we do a million times. The problem is that if factory becomes the only job left (until it gets taken too), it goes back into doing art only in free time. For some people it would become impossible to keep practicing it due to now having more responsibilities than the past and having different priorities.

It’s incredibly demoralizing to have worked at improving my craft for YEARS, only for an unethical program to pop up and remove passion from the equation.

I'll say, as someone who hires artists often, I don't think AI comes close to competing. When AI artists try to trick me into paying for their stuff claiming to be "artists," what they're hoping for is that I'll pay for whatever random glob of pixels they generate. But I want something specific. I don't want a random glob of pixels. I had to forcefully end a contract with one who misrepresented himself as an artist a while back and turned around and hired someone who I knew actually could draw. The AI artist kept trying to cancel my requests to cancel despite never turning in what I asked for, complaining they had worked for hours to turn in stuff that I didn't ask for, and kept insisting they would "get it right the next time." They never got it even close to right. Shad's video on how he does AI art was also a good representation of this. It can only copy what it already has. It can't create something new. So when he tries to get it to generate his original character, even when he gives it a sketch to start from, it can't do it. He puts the two side by side acting as if he got the AI to generate his character, but the AI character is nothing like his original design. Because the AI can't create anything new, people like myself who have specific characters to make and need it done well have no use for AI generators, only real artists. Not to mention that I actually want to own the rights to publish the stuff. I hate that artists are getting so mistreated and feeling like their skills are worthless. You guys are absolutely needed by other people who care about their work. No AI is going to generate my specific character with his specific look, and I'm not going to pay for something subpar that gets something "sort of maybe kind of a little like him."

Addendum to the previous: I think of the art generation tools simply as tools and it's the way they're being used that's the problem. I don't have an inherent problem with the tool on its own, just how seeds are being fed to them and such. And I think they have their uses that are just fine. But they don't come close to the real artists and they're not replacing real artists anytime soon. There is no one using an art generator tool that would be able to come anywhere close to creating my book cover how I want it because there would be no seeds for the machine to draw from. The art generator would just mash together a glob of random stuff that it's been taught is "probably similar." It's much better just to hire someone who knows what they're doing. So I might generate a quick image of, say, a helicopter, or grab a photo of a helicopter, and throw it up in the corner to tell the artist, "I want a helicopter up here, but I want it to face this direction instead," and that's a potential use for a generator. But I don't see how they'll ever be able to sufficiently replace artists when they can only create from old and can't create new. That doesn't work when you need something very specific.

I find toying with the AI art tools quite interesting, although I share others concerns about copywrite issues and stealing artists work for profit. But at the same time I think the value of a piece of art isn't simply in it's visual aesthetic value, but also the core essence behind the piece, for lack of a better term. When you sketch a character it may not be visually stunning in the same way as a professional painters work, or some of these generated images, but it is imbued with your unique creative vision and personality as an artist, and I think that's just as valuable. I think the real danger of these tools is to outsource our own creative vision and allow the machines to start to dictate that core essence. To the extent these tools can be developed and used ethically, I think we need to make sure to remember that our creative essence and impulse is an important part of art. Not just because it expresses it's self at the level of aesthetics either, but because it guides the core direction of the piece at a deep level. You can never get Midjourney or Stable Diffusion to replicate that level of depth because there is no actual mind with a harmonious concept guiding it.

I've got to say, this video is the most balanced discussion of the Machine Learning art controversy that I've seen. I might not agree with everything he's said, but I feel like he's really tried your best to portray both sides accurately. Since you said you teach about this stuff, I want to offer the perspective on this topic of a techbro who loves stuff like Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT. *Biggest criticism:* When speaking about ML companies stealing artists' art to train their models, I think a much _stronger argument_ is to emphasize the *scale* of the operation. Focusing on "the process isn't the same" doesn't really make much sense, at least to me. It feels like an excuse made to justify one's feelings (This is not an attack, I'm guilty of this too). To me, a machine learning algorithm training itself on art seems like the same thing as a human training themself on art. What makes this _different_, and what makes this feel at least a little bit ethically uncomfortable, is the scale that this is being done on. If I, a not-very-good artist, practice by replicating some SameDoesArt pieces to the best of my ability, I am adding to the artistic world. In theory, as long as I keep practicing and getting better, I can eventually become a good enough artist that the next generation of beginners might want to train on my art. In that sense, I am giving back to the world of art, and so is SamDoesArt. It doesn't really matter that only 1/100 artists get good enough to reach that point, because the internet allows us all to capitalize on the gains of that one person. In that sense, SamDoesArt (or insert whoever here) is giving back. He trained his art by practicing on his predecessors, he is giving back by allowing those who come after him to train on his art. I think what makes the Stable Diffusion situation so uncomfortable is that it doesn't feel like it has the same give and take. It can make artists feel like, "Well what was all my effort for, if some nobody can just type something in and get art better than anything I've ever made?" It can feel invalidating. And I think we as empathetic humans have to respect that and be cognizant of that. It can also strike fear of replacement within an already volatile and underpaid field. I think a lot of the bad blood from this controversy comes from some of us techbros not having empathy for how an artist might feel seeing this, and from some artists having an initial emotionally charged reaction (which is totally understandable) and not seeing it from the point of view of those of us who don't have time in our lives to learn to draw (hurray, capitalism... /s) but who still wish we could make amazing things. I think emphasizing the scale of this training, and how it doesn't engage in the same give/take that the older system does is a much stronger argument. I also think that "the process is different" angle should be dropped or emphasized less, because emphasizing weak arguments tends to make your stance as a whole weaker. (You can look up "Bayesian reasoning" for more on this, it's really interesting.) I'm sure not everyone will agree with me, so I look forward to hearing criticisms.

I hate the argument "Aren't AI art generators just doing what humans have been doing for years?" because... no. I've been refining my art style for YEARS. My choice in what inspirations I take and what parts of my art I decide to improve are done by MY choices alone. I hate the idea that something that I had refined for years can be just stolen away in seconds and be used to chug out some second-hand photoshop edit that I had no hand in, no knowledge in, no choice in. Despite this, companies are extremely quick to capitalize on assets that can lower costs of human resources. When I was working in a webtoon studio a year with the AI generated art just starting to gain attraction, one of the first things the higher ups wanted to do was to see if they could use it to lower artists costs. Money really does affect how artists are employed and paid in the industry, and it was demoralizing. I left the company soon after because I couldn't bring myself to comply with policies like that. This is something that is already happening. Even as copyright laws are being refined, industries are still taking advantage of this technology and it's hitting us hard. Rayark was a company that was known for their beautiful styles of art. They recently stopped having an art director and replaced their art team with an AI art generator, and the quality of their art has dropped. Naver Webtoon Korea has incorporated a policy on their amateur artists that states that anyone who publishes their work on the site will have automatically given their consent on having their art styles and works being used in their AI art generator, even as those amateur artists are actively speaking out against it. At the end of the day, I can't bring myself to agree with the people who argue that AI art is a "the next step". It's not a step forward when it's chugging out sludge from thousands, millions of stolen art from artists who, like me, have been working hard to establish their portfolios, competitiveness, creativity, and skills. It's not fair for us who are passionate about our art. It's only "fair" for only for those who are dishonest.

Good points. Also, AI does not work like a human at all. It is not doing what a human does; a human can create from nothing; being inspired and creating a style is not at all the same as what an AI does, which is literally steal work and profit from it. Put simply, if a human did what AI does, the human would be infringing on copyright. Furthermore, AI is going to be used to oppress people and decrease freedoms and turn us into even greater wage slaves. These losers that want AI don't realize that it isn't going to save them; it is going to be used for the sole benefit of the so-called "Elite," whilst the common plebe gets the inferior version that only serves to take away all the creative aspects and leaves the human as a literal slave

i feel the common attitudes towards “AI” “art” exist because of how society nowadays fundamentally devalues artists and the work we do to make the media people love. learning to make art is a skill that takes years of honing and quite frankly i think a lot of people, especially big corporations and these insufferable grindset tech bros fucking hate us for that. as it is, art is not something that people can automate and pay workers less than a dollar a day in developing countries to do while they make billions in profit. from small independent creators to disney employees, artists are expected to put in hours of labor for pittance. these sorts of people are whipped into a frothing rage at the mere suggestion that we should be paid for our work. “AI” “art” will never be ethical until those concerns are addressed, and the machinery of capitalism will almost definitely work to ensure that it’s about as ethical as SHEIN sweatshops in china. it’s disgusting and it’s exhausting to see how goddamn entitled people feel to the labor of artists, and when they can’t get us to make them art for free, they immediately turn to cheap imitations of our labor. people buy shitty sweatshop clothing because it’s cheap and it’s easy, no matter how terrible the quality is. the way things are looking, “AI” “art” is looking to be the exact same. the thing that disgusts me most is the way people will gladly take cheap, imprecise imitations of an artists work over having to actually commission someone. there is no artistic value in “AI” “art”. yes, some of it can look pretty. but looking pretty is not the reason most art gets made. it’s a creative process, a learning process, a process of self expression and interpretation. you can’t look at an “AI generated” image and wonder what it means, what the artist felt, or why it was made. it means nothing in the sense that it was not made with intent. the artist consists of hundreds or thousands of people who had their art stolen and thrown into what amounts to a wood chipper for a machine to assemble the fragments into a full image. it was made by a soulless computer program guessing the most likely combination of pixels. thats why i’ve been putting it in air quotes - because art is more than just a pretty picture, it requires intent, and these computer programs aren’t “intelligent” the way the word is meaningfully defined by most dictionaries; it reads as a misnomer to anyone not in the tech field. at least imo, “machine generated image” is more accurate.

Hello, professional illustrator here! When you got to the part of the statistics of word prompts was incredible and I laughed so much. The average being 13 words?? When I studied, we got this thing called "briefing" which is basically the instructions we have to follow to create a piece. The briefing can be incredibly detailed (I've gotten briefings that were 3-page long PDFs with both descriptions and visual references for my commissions!!) or very brief and open for the artist to do whatever (my class joined an art contest and we had to make a piece that would reflect the theme: "Behind the mask" ) Tbh, most AI promoters sound more like commissioners. The "artist" is the machine, not them. I send a lot of Work-in-progress and variations to my customers so they can check if everything is going according to how they want and they tell me to change a thing or mix another thing or try something different... and still, that doesn't really make them the artist. They are just still telling me what to do and I AM the one doing the work of changing the things. When this tech initially popped up, I did mess a bit with it. I wanted to use it mostly to create backgrounds I could reference because I struggle with drawing backgrounds sometimes, but once I saw ALL the cons the technology has?? Nope, I completely dropped it. AI tech bros don't realise that we, artists, are not against AI because we can also see how this can help us in our creative process by giving us ideas or aiding us in parts of our pieces, but we just want this tech to be ethical and our rights to be respected the same way the music industry's rights are. We don't want our labor to be exploited by AI companies, who are making a HUGE profit from these AI generators without giving the people they are exploiting their fair cut because "they are too hard to track" then maybe just don't use those images?? easy as that. Tbh, a lot of the tech bros who use this just look like they hate the people their exploitative machine was made from. "Adapt or die" they said... so we made data-poisoning tools to protect our work. And they complain for us adapting??? They just want to exploit us. AI is a tool but just to an extent, because an artist can adapt to a different tool. I can draw both digitally and traditionally. The moment I drop my digital tablet I can pick up a pencil and paper and create work of similar quality to the digital one. I have seen a very popular analogy: "AI users who claim to be artists are like customers going to McDonalds, asking for a well-done BigMac without pickles and extra tomato and calling themselves a chef" I'm a small artist. I had to registrate as a freelancer in my country, which doesn't have a percentage method for taxes, but a fixed number regardless of what you earn. And I have been in negative for months now. I'm sure a bunch of my former customers don't commission artists anymore because they can generate their own art. People like me are the ones actually being affected by this. The ones whose art is being weaponized against us, making it an unfair competition.

The number you pay monthly does increase the more you earn, but it's so poorly done, it's not proportional at all. People who earn +6k€ a month, have to pay 500€ monthly. A person who earns monthly 650€ or less has to pay minimum the 30% of their salary, someone who earns 6k or more has to pay less than 2%. We can barely survive with 650€ which isn't even the official inter-professional minimum wage, imagine if we end up with only 400€ because the government takes the rest just in freelance taxes.

If I was my same curious and confused 12-year old self, looking at this world and seeing this technological and political/ economic landscape right now, I'm not sure I would have made the effort and sacrifice to become an artist or creative.

@@featherwishyREAL It's a really tough spot to be in, and I empathize. Things have dramatically changed as I've learned and worked over the last few decades. When I was first starting out as a kid I was passionate to invent and design cool technological empowerment things, to bring about the sci-fi future I read about and dreamed about. And so I learned to draw and design so I could show those ideas to others. At the time, that was on paper using pen and paper. And keep in mind, this was at the very early stages of the Internet and the deluge of easily available imagery. Eventually after studying Fine Art for a couple of years, I realized I needed to be more engaged at the design level, and I switched to getting a degree in Industrial Design. Of course I still keep a sketchpad with me all the time, but my drive was always to design cool stuff, not just to "express myself" with an artistic statement. Which works great in Concept Art and Art Direction, because you almost NEVER work alone. You're always collaborating with a team of creatives and technical geniuses. I slowly transitioned over the years to working digitally, and nowadays almost all concept design is done using either a stylus sketching on a computer or pad, or 3D modeling tools directly, going through several stages and several hands on the way. I mostly do "Art Direction" now, with an emphasis on making higher level decisions, rather than pushing the stylus around on the tablet myself. And now with AI tools, there will likely be a lot more interposition of pseudo-creative tools between decision-making and final result. The whole profession of "concept artist" will probably evolve toward becoming more of a "Design Director" position. Not that there won't be artists directly creating, but they will be more rare (and potentially better paid?) It's a really tough call for you to make. I suppose the defining decisions would revolve around what you truly love about the profession - Are you super interested in being the person who crafts the final work? Or are you in love with the idea of designing and making the decisions? It's still a wonderful thing to do, but I'm guessing the whole decision process must be very different for someone just getting into it these days. Good luck to you! Edit: ---- I Also need to point out ----- A large part of what I do is communicate and ask the right questions with clients and teams to develop the project over time. I've never met a client who could easily describe what they want from Day 1. Often, my job is to educate them on how to get there. If they could do that alone, they probably wouldn't need me. Perhaps AI will change that but it's essentially a reciprocal problem from "Prompt Engineering" as described in the video. If the AI gets to the point where it can intelligently ask probing questions and develop a well-crafted collaborative process that helps a project connect to an audience, then I'd start to worry a lot more.

I feel like I've seen this exact comment in a dream recently. Word to word, that ending bit seems so familiar to me, even as I have Aphantasia and cannot visualize what I saw before. But I feel this, so much. Truly though, even before the whole AI fiasco, I had little faith in ever making a living through my art. I adore online communities, the ability to see everyone's creative fruits and sharing some of my work too. Especially work around things like fandoms I enjoy, all the art and writing done by fans is So Great. But it has brought up the thought of 'am I good enough' or 'will I ever be able to do what these people do'. There's always a start to everything, you just have to keep trying and have backup plans and whatnot. Perhaps one day you'll get lucky But AI is scary on a whole other level With artists, you at least know that people spent time on the things they do. Everything on the picture is the re for a reason and was planned to be there. The people have spent years learning and honing their craft, and I respect those people so much for getting that far. They've learned so much! But with AI? With the people who just press a button? They don't value the work. They don't value the years people have spent learning and getting better. When they see a picture, all they see is the picture, but none of the work that exists behind it. If AI made pictures already lacked meaning due to just being a mashup of things copied from stolen art, then this just highlights another aspect in it lacking a soul. There's no emotional attachment to what an AI has created. There's no deep story behind what's in the picture.

One of the things that most people don't cover in the AI discussions is that the math used for generation is used to find the highest possibility of a pixel or word combination, which means the most average combination. If you look at the SamDoesArt example at 37:20. In the original work, the girls have expressions. My interpretation is that one is happy to meet you while the other could care less. All of the examples generated by AI have to average all of the possible expressions into a mostly neutral face which could be called expressionless. Since AI looks for the average combinations, you will always get average images. It's how the algorithm was designed. This leads into the second issue with the generators, they can't understand context. The best example of this is the systems used to play Go. The system got to a point that it could beat the masters 19 out of 20 times; however, this reversed when it was challenged by a group of amateurs. Early Go players will often try to create groups to slowly fill the board. The strategy is easily defeated by a human that understands what groups are and how they are formed by relating stones together. Machines cannot see the context. It looks at the existing stones, and calculates the most likely place a human would place a stone from the stored games. Adding these additional games to the database doesn't work because it is a losing strategy most of the time, unless you're playing against a computer. Going back to the SamDoesArt example, the original has the girls and cat staring at someone. (It's like the viewer just entered the room.) There are enough context clues that a human viewer can piece together a story. All of the AI generated images look like model shots because there are no context clues to what's happening to the girls in the shots. It's the context clues that makes the original more interesting than the generated images. The same problem exists for the word generators as well. Without context, the word generators write up long political speeches that go on and on but say nothing. AI is doing a lot of damage right now because it is flooding the market place with average works with no context clues, but this will pass. People are not stupid, and have already started to notice the difference between artist and generator. Eventually, many of these generated items will be treated in a similar method as SPAM. It will take time, but it will happen.

I'm sorry for my english but I have to answer: THANK YOU! You speak to me from the soul! I am a hobby artist and writer and have been in a state of shock for months that I have not published anything since the first AI reports. The feelings and depression I got knowing that my work, my ideas and all that I value in other artists is being trampled upon is beyond words except - it breaks my heart and soul but it goea worse, like I describe at the end! The song "The Sound of Silence" has always moved me deeply, but since that AI thing it expresses exactly what is happening here. "People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never shared. ..." I always was crying with hearing this song, as if I had known what will I see now into this. I'm crying a lot more now. A tide of soulless quantity overwhelms the quality and appreciation of a relationship to a process. But what you didn't mention is that in this dystopia it will be even more valuable to have those skills, soul and connection to something. Perhaps real art by anyone out there will therefore become an elite product that will at least be of great value to enthusiasts and one's own bubble, since everywhere else out there is only dull meaningless mass production. That is currently my saving thought, which does not let me completely despair of myself, my true talent and skill and the future. I didn't want to draw or write for a long time, I was so demotivated and depressed. Now I've decided that I can't let all this shit stop ME from expressing true creativity. But like so many artists, I agree and have decided not to put anything freely accessible online or to hide it behind paywalls as long as this technology does not have to comply with the Creative Commons License AND AI images/texts are subject to labeling requirements. If the world wants to end in a cheap, soulless mass, then let it go, but I live on, on my island at least, full of deep and meaningful ideas, drawings and written stories, and all who still share a spark of true enthusiasm with me, I'll let on my beach and no one else. That's what they wanted and that's what they're gonna get. Maybe one day they will ask themselves why everything has become so the same and so superficially dull and maybe then we will see it again, the appreciation. The bigger problem with AI is not even the theft and devaluation of art, but that we as humanity have already forgotten how to think creatively and consciously in many areas of everyday life, because we take over the thinking or remembering of programs and machines permit. We humans are lazy and driven by addiction because people always choose the easiest way. And so we will lose more and more of the skills that allow us to think creatively and translate that into art or something else if the work involved is taken away from us. These are all learning and thought processes that will eventually no longer exist because there will no longer be any young artists who will still bother to learn something. Then we're headed for a world where there will soon be very, very few, if any, people who can think creatively. Create NEW worlds, write novels, develop games, create art...etc! But that's the least of the problems. And now I might open up a real dystopia for one or the other: The real disaster for our society is rather that creativity is needed in order to be able to solve problems with new approaches, to be able to invent something new. Not only art, but also technology, science. As depressed as I am about a world devoid of new art and imagination, and how much it will turn us into meaningless and message-devoid zombies, consuming the same thing over and over again... a future without progress in areas as needed as science really damns me great fear in relation to medicines, technology research, upcoming energy and water emergencies, natural disasters, wars, diseases ...! I sincerely hope that the class action lawsuits will fortunately get the AI seriously, so that in the future they will at least have to adhere to the Creative Common License in order not to eliminate any residue of true creativity in our society and that this technology will not only be used for fun but also to have questions in science and technology solved from a different perspective, for which incidentally there are already the first astonishing and frightening results. But at least that helps us a bit and doesn't just let us degenerate in our own abilities. Thank you and everyone to read this. Don't give up and... see you on our islands!

I always find it fascinating how the marxist culture of the artist community is so outraged by attacks on private property. Meanwhile, the engineering culture worships forking the work of others. Create a software library is a giant creative work. And we upload it to Github, a platform designed with the explicit purpose of making it easier to "steal" and modify your creative work. With 3D printing and China's PCBway, we fork hardware components and eletronics harware circuit boards too now. We are all in love with Copilot/Codeium. It's so funny how the rabid marxists worship private property of cultural content so fervently after two centuries of trying to outlaw private property of others.

As a 16 yr-old (Current.) hobbyist, not only is AI concerning for the paid professionals--but the dung rolls down to us too. I've seen just as much hobbyists get their work stolen as paid professionals these days, techbros don't care who they hurt. Only that we end up hurting. From what I've gathered from their arguments (And comments here.), they ONLY have a irrational hate boner for us--not genuine interest in "Democratizing art". They hide behind that label only to soften the blow, very rarely do they outright say what they mean in this regard. I know that the real beast are the large companies laying off workers on mass, but the only reason they get away with it is because of complacent bootlickers. If there were no corporate meat riders--companies wouldn't have the gull to do this, because they would have already faced consequences! Artists, hobbyist or working, if somebody trains a model on your style--do not tolerate it. Raise your voice high enough that nobody can ignore it. Techbros, who spat on the factory workers when they lost their jobs---telling them to just: "Learn how to code!!!111"? Who did the same to cashiers when they were worried about their jobs? But noooo, WE must be the arrogant, entitled ones. Spitting on us wont save you from corporate either. This will only give you a few extra months at best, then you will join the rest of daddy corporate's discarded toys. Enjoy the 5 pico seconds of being a useful idiot. Maybe you should have: "Gotten a real job" instead of typing lines. TLDR: Techbros will steal any art, professional or not. They don't care about "Democratizing art", they just want to fulfill their hate fantasies against us. The only reason that companies get away with it is because there are people willing to defend it. DO NOT tolerate any theft of your work.

It showed his progress from a simple stick drawing to a perfect photo real drawing and he wrote about his passion, his struggles, his constant drive for improvement. AI art totally destroys that. What drives another 4 year old from learning to draw when AI art can do it for them. AI art may not destroy art overnight, but it stops any new artist from bothering. We will drown in a sea of meaningless pretty AI created pictures. It will be the same for all artistic endeavours and although it will not destroy humanity, it will change us all.

This is kind of like asking an atheist how they find meaning in their life if meaning is not inherently given by some form of higher power. When necessity no longer exists, only then are we free to decide what we wish to do merely because we wish to do it, not because we are required to achieve some end goal. Our purpose becomes our own, our motives, our own. Of course, this is taking the idea in a void. We live in (if you're American anyway) a hypercapitalistic plutocracy masquerading as a republic. Everything, **EVERYTHING** here boils down to profitability, and its value is weighed by how much currency it can save or produce for the top rungs of society. The encroachment of multilayered dependencies has been excused by a culture that venerates and romanticizes the hard working American that gives everything for their family, their country, and their job. Machines taking your factory job? Just become a technician! Of course you'll have to figure out how to pay for the soaring college prices on your own since you're out of a job and we privatized higher education. Not to mention it takes a lot fewer technicians to run the factory than it did laborers before so better hope you're one of the smart ones! Medical too extraordinarily expensive? Taxes infuriatingly confusing? Laws being passed specifically targeting your very existence? We've spent the past several hundred years trying to make human labor as cheap as possible while simultaneously espousing the mantra "If you don't work you don't eat." Every year a new way to pay workers less for the same labor as previous years is devised. We're approaching a tipping point where the value of human life will clash directly with the value of profitability where we decide as a people what we will hold as our highest priority as a nation.

Nothing big or crazy like that) Just an idea where we help the Lowest income people ONLY. To the point where poor people are able to get by & exist without creating this poverty homelessness instability disaster. Think of how beneficial it would be if even the poorest people are able to at least afford to have a place to exist. Then once they have basic living conditions met, they will be able to add money to the rest of the economy in their local community. Where they otherwise would not be able to do so if they couldn't barely afford to pay bills each month, and when people become homeless it negatively affects the community. It shows that our society isn't fully working. I definitely don't think we will ever live in a perfect society but I do believe that we should at least provide the options for those who are decent people but who are poor, to be able to at least have the most basic quality of life essentials. Then they could benefit many other aspects of society. *Where right now, we have a good system but the moment someone is unable to keep up with the required payments, they are completely on there own with no safety net options. Our society even gives people a hard time if they need food stamps... I think there is the ability for our society to function well while also providing options for the poorest people, so we don't continue to have this working people's renters epidemic situation with no options in our society and once things get really difficult, it becomes so much harder to get back to a decent balance point. As well as they aren't contributing any good to certain things because they don't have the ability but if we can find a way to arrange a certain system, these people could have the option to provide beneficial aspects to society and local economics. It would be like a system that you invest in and it turns around and invests back into itself. It's worth the investment. Society would see benefits in all sorts of different ways. (Is my feeling & idea at least. At least we should give it a try?)

The modern artists exists in the digital realm, instead of a canvass an empty document on a screen, and AI the tool by which they produce their art. At the end of the day, do whichever you prefer, traditional or modern methods. Commercially of course the latter is optimal from a cost and efficiency standpoint, the former from an emotional/humanitarian standpoint. But as we're beginning to learn, the masses don't care about the work that goes into producing art, they only care about the finished product. AI will win because it's destined to.

We'll soon live in a world where a singular individual could create an entire animated series or movie on their own. Don't conflate the way AI sources its training data (which definitely should be more ethical) and what its capabilities can help people do. (And yes, the techbros are annoying, but they're techbros what do you expect? You're not gonna see what use cases an artist could have from AI until artists actually engage with it a tool and explore its potential.)
