That sounds very promising, as a current student of computer animation, I had fears that AI would advance so quickly that it would be able to replace me before I even graduate. My instructors have the same optimism that we as artists will work alongside AI and produce our compositions much quicker. I'm going to have to depend on my creativity to do the real work, and though there will always be people that like AI-generated artwork, there's still an audience for the human element. I will choose quality over quantity any day, as you can burn yourself out very quickly.

[@abandonedmuse]

Not only that but think about it. AI video has a certain style but you have your own specific style so I think that’s what’s gonna make the real artist stand out from the AI artist and I think everybody’s gonna be OK.

[@offTheMedsYe]

@@abandonedmuse as a human artist it will usually take years of dedicated work to create your own unique style, which then also serves as your "moat", a sort of protection against competition. your own niche. as AI gets better, tge easier it becomes for anyone to replicate anything, so no creative will have that protection anymore.

[@PikaPetey]

The thing is, if everyone is outputting all their ideas all the time, and AI art and AI generated animation becomes indistinguishable from human created content. The value as a whole decreases. I dedicated a big part of my life to learning this craft as well, and I feel like when I animate, I'm putting on a performance and dancing for people. It's very fulfilling. watching what's happening with AI art feels as if I'm replacing my legs with pre-programmed robot legs. I'm no longer performing anymore, I'm just holding onto the ride.

[@eleonoremarymadone9859]

I'll give you a different angle that you didn't mention or maybe you sort of did when you compared the 2 channels. There are content farms that heavily rely on AI, that are sitting at the top of every niche. A lot of people (not all) rely on AI cause they're not confident enough in their creativity or they don't have time to be creative. They just need the quick money. It's a big problem for new talents(small creators). Why? cause AI doesn't come up with ideas on its own, you have to input something and then it elaborates or fulfills your request. Guess what some of those big channels with millions of subscribers do? Cause they have no time (or no talent?) They input smaller youtubers' content into AI and harvest what they need for their videos. They haven't killed KZbin by using AI... yet, but they sure attempt to kill small organic creators' chances of breaking through, every day, with AI's help.(I have nothing against AI I think it's a good tool!) But these big guys kill 3 birds with one stone when they rip off small creators : #1- They get fresh new perspectives and ideas on things #2 They smother talent at the root because, by the time the audience of that niche discovers the new creator, all of their videos feel like Deja Vu # 3 They potentially eliminate their competition if after it happens repeatedly the small creator gets frustrated and decide to quit making content altogether.

[@Indielancer]

@First Last it seems you didn’t read what he said, big KZbinrs have distribution and discoverability. . Markets with technology have “winners take it all distribution” where is easy to take your distribution. Quality is a strategy but it takes time, not all the people have the resources of time to to invest in creating quality or the resources of money to create a content farm.

Great video as always. I watched the Sam Altman interview with Lex Fridman as well and agree with his point about chess never being more popular.

I think chess falls into the same sort of it’s-not-interesting-when-computers-do-it category.

[@OGA-b4l]

not really. like with chess, a complete AI is now better than any "centaur" and that will also become true for content. there will come a time ( maybe it will be in 5 years, maybe in 10) that AI will surpass everything about us, and then it won't matter if you are a centaur because an AI will just be better than you in everything, research, editing, composition, narration etc tho it won't be soon, that time will come, i suspect within maybe 8-10 years

[@naejimba]

I mean... one of the end results of the music industry "embracing" streaming meant even SMALLER cuts for artists... it's so bad at this point that they only thing they make any money off of is pushing products. They didn't get to "reap the rewards" because it meant the industry was more consolidated than ever and they try to gatekeep access to the larger streaming services. So I have my doubts that reducing their largest expense (having to pay PEOPLE) will somehow be better for those same people. Even in an industry WITHOUT those limitations, like game development with great tools you can use for free and platforms like Steam that handle the distribution for you, it only meant there is far more competition in the market... like 62% of people who sell games on Steam can't make enough to live off of, and finishing and shipping a game is so insanely difficult to accomplish that 90+% of the people who try will not get to that point. Think of how many more products there will be if it requires no actual skills you have to develop; that will drive down the price for consumers but there already isn't enough meat on the bone for the people who make the products. I mean... maybe at some point it will be a novelty to buy a song or game that was made by an actual person, and people would be willing to pay extra for that novelty. I'm just not hopeful, and I can't think of any skill I possess or can learn where it isn't an inevitability that I could be replaced by AI.

Yeah exactly. Will studios pay huge amounts of money to make TV shows etc. when AI can just make it for them? Netflix won't spend any money making TV shows, yet they'll make TV shows perfectly tailored to the preferences of each user, keeping them endlessly hooked. And anyone who found fulfilment making TV shows will lose out. It'll be the same for music and KZbin videos too. Even if you have a great personality, you won't have as great a personality as AI, and you won't be able to match the endless stream of content AI can produce, perfectly tailored to your tastes. And KZbin will get all the money. It will be very difficult to stay economically relevant to anything as a human.

The biggest issue with generative AI is that when you generate something, whether it's an image or a song that is inspired by an artist, suppose he won't fight it but embrace it, many of his fans might start liking the endless ability to generate stuff, and so when he creates a new thing that is not using the same style, AKA lowering the bar, he might disappoint them that he cannot meet their expectations as set by the model(s)

The following is a song by Nick Cave: I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms Can you write another 2 verses? ChatGPT Sure! Here are two additional verses to continue the song: And I don't believe in the concept of fate But when I'm with you, it's hard to deny That the universe aligned our paths that day And brought us together, you and I So if there's a cosmic force at play I'd plead it to keep us intertwined To let our love grow stronger every day And forever in my arms, you'll find Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in a predetermined plan Yet here we stand, side by side In this dance of life, hand in hand Our souls entwined, our love cannot hide So if there's a grand design above I'd beseech it to bless our sacred bond To protect us from the storms, like a dove And keep us safe, forever fond Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms

You cannot copyright your voice so an artist and their label can’t claim an ai song that does not use an artist’s name to associate itself with them. And also an artist won’t be able to release an official version of ai song without paying who ever wrote and produced the original song

[@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger]

If someone is an Artist signed up to a label, then indeed, the Label can sue for the royalties - as the music and the voice belong to the record company! Record Companies have their own public relations, so if a song goes viral without the Consent of the Label, it most definitely infringes on the Rights of the Record Company and the Artist has no voice as to whether Consent was given, which can potentially impact their label’s objectives for the Artist. This is especially problematic is the Artist is signed to a Label as their Contract is binding and is managed by the Record Company.

There is a problem with accepting AI-generated content and delivering revenue to individuals, such as Drake, for example. It could be that the content created under the "Drake" label does not represent him at all and is accepted for distribution solely due to the money involved. This is a significant issue, as it will likely occur frequently. A potential solution is to develop advanced AI capable of detecting this problem. However, this brings us back to square one - the challenge of AI arbitrage, and all we will be left with are just labels. We are already playing the game of life with AI, and we still resist the idea that we will win it. Elon Musk had a pretty good idea: to join forces with AI, meaning we should accept it and form a team before it's too late. It may seem contradictory, but we can still ask for mercy in the game of life and reboot the game for later when we are ready. If AI wins the game this year, we will lose our next move, forever... because the highest AI models are owned by the money makers... I think. It may seem like for every mistake we make, AI will gain one more move, and we will lose the game for a while. AI need to be microdosed

[@jollyjames30]

1:35 Drake's monotone voice is very very easy to recreate with AI. There's no difference at all.

[@icantgivecredit871]

American music is comically easy to create. No actual instruments necessary.

Speaking of copyright infringement. Are you following this Alex Edson vs Magnates Media BS John?

Great content as always... really loving this centaur concept... it's making me imagine some cool cyborgs!

[@Lofistl]

There is some revisionist history going on here. The music industry actually did fight by suing users and services and it took several years for the business model to catch up. In many ways it still has never recovered.

[@kingace6186]

Small nuance: All of this is valid as to how the law currently exists and interacts with art and the internet. New legal interpretations or new laws can be made that completely change everything. Or it could be smaller, incremental changes that build up (ie: the court ruling that AI-generated "art" cannot be copyrighted because it was generated from already copyrighted art).

[@zip3704]

Ai in music is similar to what yamaha was aiming for with vocaloid. The latest versions are starting to use ai to help improve the previous sound banks. Saying its going to kill the music industry is stupid at its current stage. People still have to make the music. The bigger problem is copy right over that voice. The ai is using it without permission. Vocaloid/yamaha/its partners is quite litterally selling it. I hope yamaha and its respective partners takes advantage of this, but what i think is going to happen is some stupid new startup going to be fed billions by venture capatalists and do it themselves. Still better than "stealing" someones voice.

[@dfcx1]

I'm just a dumb instrumentalist so I never realized people actually gave a hoot about the voice doing the singing. I just projected my own experience of caring about the song instead and the technical proficiency of the vocalist onto everybody. Kind of eye-opening.

[@VirtousStoic]

I cant say more than, your content is perfect. Much love I cant beleive you dont have 5 millilon followers man Cant waut to see u grow and release more iften as your team grows Only favor is can you copy stephen grapham reference style at the end of his videos But i dont mean include your sources, only cool srticles etc about the topic that you recommend we read. Hope that u consider this

[@HumanMadeGlobal]

A critical aspect you've overlooked is the transformative fusion of multiple leading artists, such as Drake, intertwining their prowess to give rise to entirely fresh and compelling musical entities. As this innovative force emerges, eclipsing potential newcomers, it underscores the necessity to champion the HumanMade label. This exclusive endorsement not only safeguards the future of creativity but also solidifies the impact of these newly created artists, ensuring they stand resilient against the rising tide of artificial intelligence.

Icc investigation, elon musk the ftx ?????

[@909sickle]

There's no way to know if a model was trained on someone's art, unless the trainer admits it. There will soon be no incentive to create original high-effort art, as it will be immediately ran through models and copied at no risk to the generator. No one will care about the original, because the AI versions will look better to most people. There's a chance original artists could sell their art to the model-makers, but that market will also die once AI can make creative choices that people like and generate new original art.

[@gouthamkm7510]

[@hocuspocus5256]

A lot of bold assumptions about how quickly AI will progress. I'll bet we have AI video livestreams within 16 months. Its not "years off"

[@Apurvanotfound]

What if means is that record label no longer need artist themselves, they just need to own voice. It also means that artist will earn much less.

[@ThePiperBlushExperiment]

The rising saturation of AI-generated content on platforms like KZbin poses a formidable threat to content creators. As algorithms flood the digital space with an overwhelming amount of automated videos, it becomes akin to searching for a needle in a haystack for viewers to find genuinely unique and human-created content. The sheer volume of AI-generated videos could potentially drown out the voices of individual KZbinrs, making it increasingly challenging for them to stand out and connect with their audience in a sea of algorithmically produced material.

[@AlbertoR139]

Amazing video John! Even-keeled, well informed and engaging. There's a lot of noise about AI right now, but this was quite a refreshing take.

[@dotsovertonesinging]

This is a great perspective to the AI world. You are one of the few predicting the future in detail

[@Virtual-Media]

Many musicians who actually play instruments have struggled with this for years. I find it hard to believe musicians will be concerned about a karaoke singer/rapper struggling with the lack of spotlights and royalties. Those who aren’t musicians won’t know and don’t care. Time to adapt and move on..

So much cope in this video. His arguments remind me of the way artists use to talk about AI art 1-2 years ago, saying it would never become good enough to replace artists and yet here we are...

Conversely, we will be able to swap our faces to movies.

[@SamtheIrishexan]

Spotify nearly single handedly saved the music industry. The other major factor being they went on tour significantly more often generating income both as they worked and on royalties.

[@luvdocumentary]

You also have to factor in personal preference. Some people just prefer non-artificial interactions or experiences. Some animated movies can look very realistic, but people still choose to view the real thing.

Now that we know what the best moves are, you can build a lot More drama and anticipation if the Player manages to”find” it and gain an advantage.

i like the presentation, and the information is easy to digest, i sub instantly after watching this one

[@richarddeese1991]

Thanks. Whenever tech changes, media-generating industries seem caught off guard. Then they panic, and start throwing around litigation & threatening statements. Dumb. Clearly, they'll try to use A.I. against A.I. Mostly, that'll mean that any song that sounds remotely like any other song (legit or not) will get axed by KZbin. Dumb. Also: how will Weird Al upload polkas and pastiches when they get auto-deleted? Dumb, slow, & over-corrective. Boringly predictable. tavi.

[@fullclipaudio]

Since you are discussing my industry, it is only fitting that I chime in. We now have 130 years of recorded media. So much media exists that it isn't possible for a single person to consume a fraction of it. Now, add to that the fact that all artforms have their time under the Sun and you quickly realize that new media will be made by a.i. for those that want it but the $$ will be in repackaging what was done these last 130+ years. Allow me to elaborate. Do we need 75 new bands that sound like RUSH or Slayer? No. Both bands are a product of their time. So, instead of trying to rehash the same stuff over and over, just repackage it. Go see a Frank Sinatra concert EXACTLY as it looked in 1959. Pay for that experience. Go see the Beatles. See Pink Floyd play Dark Side of the Moon. Go watch James Brown play down at the local bar. That day is just around the corner. 95% of the music streamed is vintage or classic. Go to a wedding and you'll notice that nearly all of the music played is from the 1970's. When the music industry "leans in" to a.i., it will be to use it to push long dead artists.

[@cyrilio]

The music industry is getting way to much credit for what has happened. They are still horrible. If you want to support an artist. Go to a show by them or buy products directly. The music industry is just an evil middleman.
