I work as a technical artist. creating 3D and VFX for video games. That won't be replaced.....for now. But maybe someday not too long from today

Your hair now is beautiful. It suits you very well... colour, style.. 10/10.

Thank you for this video! 🙏

The companies such as book publishers will put whatever the cheapest art on their products as long as the public keeps purchasing. For most, an authentic book cover would not matter, for their main concern is the text inside. I would advise artist to move away from idea of making a living from selling to companies that use it to promote product. Instead, flip to using free AI for greater creative thinking and making art that people will want for the merit of the art, instead of product.

You provide a fascinating perspective. Thanks.

Art, ultimately, is self-expression. AI has no self to express. There will always be value in expressing one's self in art, and people will appreciate that aspect--and pay for it. Commercial art, by contrast, mostly exists as a marketing tool (not that there's anything wrong with that!). As such, its value will always be in how effectively it helps move the merchandise, not in its creativity. The easiest, cheapest way of producing it will always win out, and unfortunately that's AI.

By the way, ResuBot seems to be a solid option for anyone looking to polish their resume. It's fascinating how AI is being utilized across various fields, including job hunting

The insights on how AI is impacting the art world were eye-opening. I think artists should focus on what makes their work unique

On a different note, I recently learned about Resubot for resumes. It's interesting how AI can help in job applications too, especially in these changing times

I can really relate to the fear of being replaced by AI. It's a tough time for creatives, but I believe we will find ways to thrive

This is such an important topic. It's concerning to see how AI is changing the landscape for artists. We need to adapt and find our niche

There is a fricking "ai generated summary"

Surely this goes against copyright laws where you aren't allowed to reuse or modify the image. Surely an AI is doing exactly that as an AI doesn't create it just copies. Either way, AI art is really rubbish and it is difficult to control it. I guarentee that you are 100 times easier to instruct. It's also greed from companies. It's great for someone who is just getting an image for a school project or inspiration but an AI can't produce the life that a professional artist brings...

you should protect your art from AI training online with glaze or nightshade

INTERESTING video !! =) & i really agree with alot of the comments about the importance of art being made by humans !! ♡ i'm an ARtiSt myself (i only create original paintings on canvas) - so this is an important topic to me . thank you for sharing =)

I used to learn art in college, later I switched career over to programming, but still kept drawing for fun. Now I create an AI model that draws in my style, and unfortunately, I found out for all it worth, that AI is much superior over me, and if it is not for my own fun, I completely see no need to use my drawing skill as a mean of profession. But then, I'm not a professional artist so probably I'm not the one to be able to judge on this subject.

is the current AI really taking the illustrations jobs? I really havn't seen any good quality AI art

There is now a free opensource AI, Deepseek. Deepseek is just as fast and good als ChatGPT. so not everything will go to OpenAI.

Okay I'm 99% convinced YT is doing this on purpose

Love this, thank you for posting! As someone who has lost 80% of their business over the past year due to AI and big tech changes, I hear you loud and clear on this. 😞 I am coming to the conclusion that the best path forward (aside from regulation and governmental provisions) is for us to contextualise art as much as possible. Just as you said, following the artist's process, story and inspiration as context will be the differentiator in many cases.

i lost my job at the ups sorting warehouse last year when they replaced us with automation and ai, and im not even mad. for years ive came into work and thought to myself "there has to be a better way for them to sort packages than this" back breaking shifts every 5 hours around the clock and although they paid well and we had union bennifits it would boggle the mind on how they were even turning a profit. also the amount of broken or lost packages were as high as 25% of what would come in on the worst days, and there was nothing we could do about it because of the pace and the amount of people that would handle every package, its always been a numbers game and honestly im glad they found a way to get it done without working people to the bone for what was probably the most inefficient jobs in the country for how much labor was being allocated

Do not post/take pictures of your art spread the word artists. Until there is a bill passed for ai stealing art to be illegal. Ai doesn’t “create” it just puts together things that already exist in the physical reality whether it be from mapping out our brain to copying what was out already on paper, it’s illustrated plagiarism. And anyone who says it creates is bs. Without an already existing thought or idea from someone ai is dead. Artists of today should hold private no phone viewings galleries. Technology is the death of artists and the death of artists is the death of ai art, because without us there is no idea.

UBI is gonna be in the hands of corporations the same way the AI is, it goes hand in hand 🥲 I really don't like where this is going. I see UBI just as another lever to exploit human labour in the future...

You tried Nightshade & Glaze yet? Glaze, (i'm told) makes generators unable to train on images Nightshade (i'm told) poisions them, making the generators produce slop when trained on nightshaded images

Wonderful! Everyone will be a handworker! Electricians, roofers, plummers, builders. Humans will be building the world again, not wasting time with writing or drawing which feeds no one.

Writers, Artists, and others need to know that your work/form is going to be placed into.a computer learning module...AI...and you will be replaced much sooner than you think.!

adapt or sink

There is some good news regarding A.I. A few days ago, Salesforce is creating the software for drones that focus on wildfires. They will spot a fire in the forest no larger than 3 ft. diameter and notify another drone with water to put it out before it grows. Also, many CEO's talks about open source A.I.'s that are created rather quickly due to the fact that they have no restrictions that larger companies have. This is the primary way A.I. will be democratized. I also believe that there will always be a demand for human made art. For instance, if you read a story or contemplate a painting you know that there were real feelings and emotions poured into the work. An A.I. does not suffer so there is nothing to relate to. Human work could even be more valuable as art becomes cheaper and more common in peoples lives.

You should start copy righting your art work from today and not sell it to anyone as it is your source of income, as AI is too stupid to improve on your version. OTOH, I don't think your woke overlords will come to your rescue any time soon, if at all.

You remind me of my old college friend, who got me into making 'zines. I've kind of stalled on my most recent one, but managed to publish a graphic novel and a webcomic. You make me want to finish my 'zine and publish again! 😃😃🤩🤓🤓😎🥳🥳

Another point for people not in this domain. 90% of all startups in YC are AI driven and the point is to automate human actions to the point where 1 - 2 people are a required to work as data operators.

MOdels will become better with each iteration and its all about economics. I am in the world and agree that openai and otehrs are stealing your work but until some laws are implemented taht criminalize this there is nothing people can do. I can tell you with 100% certainty that 90% of knoweledge workers will be unemployed. I have raise my concerns on socal media but no one will osten if your not elon musk. People in any creative field have no idea what is about to hit them in next 5y.

UBI is immpossible.

In America we settle our problems with corporations in two ways. Lawsuits and Nintendo Power. It'sa me! Figure out which one you wanna use.

"WHAT ARE WE RUSHED FOR?" Thats a key question!

I dont get it. you say you art work was like a conveyor belt of art and then you talk about the feeling of hikikomori and looking out the window in a windy day. sounds like your job wasn't very human in the first place. that human art you described had nothing to do with the art you did at your job. that's why a robot can replace you

you are just another one of those communist-sympathizing radical leftists. "rise of fascism", "climate change", "capitalism evil blah blah blah"

you are using communist language. That's a bigger issue to fix for you.

Even before meta decided to feed the AI with stolen works, IG's algorithm and demands were harmful for creative processes. And I'm afraid it has now spread to every other existing social media. Twitter has become just as bad and tiktok is just worse. That quote from Toy Story 2 "You can't rush art" is true, but Meta and the mega corporations don't want art, they want products, no matter how cheap they may be

I checked, but found none of my art had been sampled by AI!

When AI matures it will be devastating to society.

Not sure who you are, but I enjoy your frankness. Thanks for making this.

08:30 Yess exactly!! Thank you for saying it. Im shocked so many people don't get this.

Brilliant video. Thanks very much. Would you mind saying what type of A4 scanner you travel with please? X

I would be interested in how much art supplies your able to have in the van and what your using. I can't remember if you did video about this or not.

Morocco is really easy to eat veggie and vegan. Lots of great vegetable dishes, olives, flatbreads and also lots of great fruit and fruit salad! You’ll be fine xx

I feel like the entire creative community has been robbed, and as a result, many are now losing their jobs. Yet, I don’t see much complaining or legal action. Sure, you can now exclude your work, but no one asked for your consent beforehand. My days as a programmer are also numbered, just like countless others in various fields where AI can replace human workers-an impact that grows wider with every update.

I cannot wait to see what you get up to next year 😊

AI does the same thing artists do. People take inspiration from and mix together all of the art and experiences they have seen
