[@Tarikkb]

They’re not exactly the same cuz with music the artists WITH their voice is a brand , they’re a one person brand , their looks , their opinions , their voices .....but with concept art , these artists are not in front of the camera , they do not get the attention , they’re more seen as one of the tools in the big machine , so if this was to be replaced by AI it wouldn’t effect the result much , plus it saves time , so I can see it as a near possibility , it’s sad though cuz I’m also an art student

[@Rainjojo]

@@Tarikkb an individual who creates should have their voice and IP protected by the law, and don’t act as if singers aren’t signed with contracts the way creatives sign with companies to make money. Convenience from the AI is just an excuse to generate mediocre stolen content compared to a creative who spent the time to research, build a unique portfolio, and use various mediums to show industries they can cultivate any form of subject dedicated to a client or brand.

[@KJPluemMini]

From my perspective view, I am a freelance artist which takes lots of commissions. I noticed that my clients started to disappear after the AI trend. So I went to check where they are from my curiosity, In that time I was pretty disappointed that they went to use AI to create their own OC? and they wrote stuff such as "thanks to AI so they don't have to waste money to commission anymore", or invited more friend to use AI....Like Hello? This is not funny, what can I do apart from complaining, Now I just have to work harder to improve my skills and promote my art more and more.

[@rosa3299]

Shit, I was hoping to start commission this year since I just turned adult and felt doing commission is a good thing. While commissions is a hard and difficult at times. Almost all artist started their career doing commissions. AI Art does threaten that. As an artist, I see AI as a sort of tool. But sadly, society just don't see art important even though they love to consume. It is whatever is convenient for them.

I was gonna do commissions for some side money while I study as a medical assistant but now I'm unsure. Sure my art style is unique enough and it probably hasn't been fed to ai yet but... it's kinda sad is all.

[@ryantheanimator1156]

I feel like the art community as a whole need to speak up about the impact AI gonna have on the art industry. Seeing how AI art generator can quickly pull up a drawing in a couple of minutes that almost look like a professional art piece, even if it's imperfect with some weird mess up details here and there, can be really discouraging to beginner artists who want to enter the field. It's already evolved significantly in just a couple of years that it's terrifying to think that there's the possibility of AI making it even harder for artists to get jobs and might even outright replacing us at some point in the future.

[@thomasgormly6941]

Art is the idea represented and not just the medium it is subjected to. Yes an artist and an AI can both represent a picture of a bird, but as of yet, only the artist can lead you beyond the picture to portray ideals like freedom by the way the bird spreads it's wings to escape the boundaries of earthen restraints. We have now made art and artists more mainstream and publically visible as the ideas of the individual are easier to express through word translation rather than hand/physical coordination. The era of "gatekeeping" art to the realm of "professionalism" is becoming a thing of the past as people are learning to value ideals over effort. There will always be a niche market or value on outdated methods. People still pay for handmade baskets and blacksmith forged goods over factory automation albeit not as mainstream.

[@IgnitedQuils]

Yeah, it's going to be harder to get into the industry, since AI is usually intended to take over tasks that are seen as mundane or taxing. Yet art is an expressive medium and it resonates with humans due to seeing there's a story or message behind it.

[@Gloomyraindrop]

I don't think anyone with half a mind will take ai art seriously, let alone choose ai art over an actual artist. If it's cheaper sure. But if real people know an AI made it and not a real human person, you're gonna lose real quickly.

[@dr.blue-animated]

I think AI can possibly create new jobs in the future. Like how we saw with the decline in 2D animation but the rise in 3D. The industry is going to be always changing and improving. While yes it might remove some job opportunities for some artists there will be newer roles that will be created because like you said someone still has to review or modify the AI generated Art. I think it’s cool to draw inspiration from or look at something in a specific perspective because not everyone has a live reference of certain things and google while it has those references it is usually the same ones everyone else uses. With this new integration you can see things and draw from reference. One thing that I don’t think should be allowed is just taking the piece as is and selling it, you have to change it and even then I feel like it still tiptoeing into testy waters. Thank you for the information! I always love watching your videos and getting insight into the industry!

[@yeji4846]

Why are artists and creatives always the ones who need to adapt and compromise? Starting from NFT to AI art, technology and its over-romanticization have been sabotaging morals in art… I’m so mad and sick of these situations. Sometimes I fear people are more and more losing to see the value in things that take time and heart.

[@deltaxcd]

what exactly they can do about it? tell that nobody with less that 5 year training is allowed to make art? AI just allows everyone to do what just few artist were able to do now everyone can express themselves without commissioning artist to the level where you can produce AI emojis instead of those boring primitive things

[@MythicAcademyalt]

@@deltaxcd yeah, but do you consider that you need art made by artists to produce what ai makes. Ai doesn't make it on their own it learns from information given.

[@deltaxcd]

@@MythicAcademyalt Actually no, you don't need artists because AI learns from photos, 3d screenshots and pretty much any kind of media. That's the whole point of AI Artists are only needed for style example or for concepts when you just don't have any real life examples of the idea like you can't get photo of a dragon or fairy. Training AI purely from drawings of artists is pretty pointless. But otherwise you can take just few pictures from some artist AI will examine its style and it will be able to convert any picture into the style of that artist.

[@MythicAcademyalt]

@@deltaxcd I don't think your aware of how most AI art systems have stolen the work of certain artists, and your only agreeing too my point "just take some pictures from an artist" to get the style you want that is still needed and it's especially sickening when done without an artists consent, why? Because its still their art an AI is learning from

[@deltaxcd]

@@MythicAcademyalt No you don't understand how it works. Ai need to learn some concepts at first like for example "people doing podcast" or "astronaut walking on the moon." or "cowboy riding a horse" it is very unlikely that some specific artist will even draw the moon or tv studio. Artist pictures are only used as style example and then it can draw astronaut riding a horse on the moon in the Picasso style. You don't even need that many pictures from some artist to train AI Just few examples are enough. Same as for human being, maybe a bit more because AI is not that smart as human. And at this day you pretty much get universal AI model with various concepts then you take few pictures from desired artist and perform training on those pictures and then AI can draw anything from that universal model in the style of the artist which you trained it. Or you can take any photography or picture and AI will convert it into the style of that artist

[@sarasawicka]

A lot of people miss this issue that even AI art contributes to destroying the middle class. Companies won't hire a group of artists but instead, they will buy a license/subscription from an AI art company that is overflowing with money. It's happening to a lot of different carriers too and people should be more cautious of that. Usually, a cheaper option is a less moral option, I know that the most blame is on companies that are ruling the world but in most cases, we have a choice to support them or not.

[@ClaimClam]

Very tru!

[@johancitygames]

this is a no sense, just think a little about it, companies that use art just don't want beatiful pieces of art that you can handle in the wall (unless the company was just about that lmao), those companies want art that serves to the purpose that they want, and that can only be achieved by artists, not by AI, for example, imagine pixar wanting to hire concept artists for creating characters for their new movie but they use a subscription for an AI instead, so now what?, first, you still need the idea behind the character to insert it in the AI (the prompt), this need to be done by an artist that knows what will work well with the idea of the movie, then it is generated, OK, so now what? it is a beatiful image, but does it really match the idea of the movie?, this need to be analyzed by an artist, then you can create a whole bunch of images to find what fits the best, you find what it seems to be the perfect image, but, ups!, it have some details that you want to change to fit with the movie better, so you still need an artist, then the colors are not right with the palette of the movie, you need an artist, and i can go ON AND ON, you get the point?. and this is in a scenary where AI is so great that it can generate consistent great art and styles with just a simple prompt which is far from the reality today, you need a lot of extra work for that, and i am not even talking about consistent characters which is a more difficult task that can't be achieved today (with only one image of the design). those AI have A LOT of limitations and don't expect to be completely fixed soon. artists will be NECESSARY.

@@johancitygames unfortunately, this AI has evolved so you can feed it stuff to reference off of and the result will look pretty good now. You can teach it. And that’s what scares me.

We aren’t talking about DALL E mini. We’re talking about a bot taking over a creative job.

[@itch433]

@@johancitygames It's true that you can't AI your way through concept art - the results aren't nearly specific enough in the actual 3d space to be used in production and I don't think text prompts are a good enough input to begin with (not to mention that AI is not capable of understanding any thoughtful symbolism and what not). But the text to image of the same beautiful sad girl isn't exactly what I worry about. There is AI tech that allows you to get way more specific results with image input (like a 5 second doodle is enough), ability to train a specific theme/object by just a few images. I'm sure we'll soon see some incredibly proficient workflows, people will be using one AI tool to make an image, another one to turn it into a 3d scene, move things around, back to image AI, use it to "inpaint" some areas, train characters likeness individually perhaps, touch it up in photoshop. And yeah, you'd still need SOME artists to properly mash all that stolen experience together, I'm sure some artists will even enjoy "drawing" without drawing (I'm already lost at that point though, I really don't see the appeal of a workflow like that), before probably getting replaced by another AI.

[@Natsukashii-Records]

Companies won't hire a group of artists but using AI, individual artists can now create concept art, 3d assets and code for their OWN games and produce their own game which would be far more profitable than working for a shitty company 9 to 9 to barely make ends meet. I am astounded by the defeatism and blackpilling going on in the art community. AI is a tool, a tool is as good as the user. If a non-artist uses AI they are stuck with the generation. An artist using AI can refine it and make it much better. Stop listening to retarded grifters that claim they are 'artists' with no art school or talent because an AI generated a pretty picture for them. That picture is useless, no one commissioned or asked for it and it's not part of a bigger story or creative process, it literally has no value. If that person took a commission to make AI art the commissioner would stomp them because if they don't like even a small detail about the generated image, that guy is stuck with it and doesn't have a hope of fixing it, meaning they won't get paid. An artist with an AI can make more pictures, meaning more commission slots, cheaper, and at the end of the day they'll have more free time to draw what they want or try different styles or even hobbies or just live their lives. Stop being retards that get dragged around by 'influencer artists' so they can get clout out of fear-mongering you. No one knows what the future holds or how good AI art will become. They just assume shit. Most of them totally uninformed on the subject.

As a Graphic Designer It hurts to see AI destroy this industry because I worked on Art my whole life... but instead of being bitter..

Finland also has very few jobs in Art/Animation to begin with.. so this seemed like a better fit. then maybe I can join my husband the senior engineer at his work or work somewhere simular.

[@mcgaggles]

@@hannelerantanen760 I respect this opinion but I find that depending on your discipline someone might stay bitter. Graphic designers, performance artists and many people in fine arts are able to adapt Better, because the concept or message you're conveying is more important than the medium; you will change what artform or medium depending on the message. For animators, illustrators and painters..whe are tradepeople. The message is not so important as the technique. If someone comes along with no discipline, using no effort and not only stating they are the same as us but ALSO taking away our livelihoods then yes, we should be bitter. Additionally many American artists were trained at art colleges which left us thousands of dollars in debt, the arts receive no government funding, nor do we get any debt relief. Meanwhile these people- often the ones who disputed we should ask for a living wage from our art- have essentially decided we should be making a living from our art, but that we should be laborers who treat art as a hobby.

I’ve been out of work for years as an artist so thats partually why I chose to marry in the first place. I’m still unhappy that my form of work is becoming outdated in the technical sense… it just means I either need to change to be considered valuable or be pushed aside.. yes the arts have never been valued even before this I was making like 8 dollars an hour doing sign shop work.. eventually it closed after I left… so you know I know from first hand how sensitive these things are.

[@bbludacious]

I think that the whole problem with AI art comes from the fact that online AI art generators steal a lot of artwork without the OG artist's permission or without compensation. Also, if artists take control of AI art programs I think they can use the tool as an advantage to them. Maybe some artist will use it to come up with rough ideas for a project they're working on or I've even seen an artist use it to create psychedelic backgrounds for their art. The whole idea is to just treat AI as a tool and not as a replacement for an artist.

[@McJorneil]

I agree it can be a useful tool for inspiring ideas, however we are dealing with the unfortunate reality that it most likely will be used to replace human artists because that's usually how things go. We almost always get the bad endings and outcomes in the real world. 😵 It's like expecting a thief not to steal items that cost $1. I mean, $1 is not much money at all, right? And yet they absolutely will steal it regardless of the price simply because they can and it will cost them basically nothing to do so. So one bad outcome is that companies will see AI as an opportunity and cheap alternative to paying for an artist. After all, companies LOVE outsourcing work to the cheapest possible alternative. Worse yet, the AI tools will cost money to use and while the company behind them profits from that, they'll simultaneously make money off all the art that was put into the databases without permission, profiting off the backs of the artists who lose a potential extra source of income. I don't like being a downer, I just have a really hard time believing we'll see a good outcome.

[@alexmehler6765]

They could do this themselves, if they're an artist. They shouldn't need a machine to do this, when they themselves have the art skills to do this. Steven Zapata has videos saying this isn't an art tool, it could replace artist. Trusting big companies to make good decisions doesn't work, and it shows a lot.

[@bbludacious]

As I've been reading your replies, my first thought would be to put in copyright laws in place right away that requires AI generator users/curators (whoever's feeding the machine artwork) to get permission or to pay the artist, but then I realized just because there are copyright laws doesn't mean people respect them. So many people openly pirate many forms of media. I frequently pirate movies or anime without a second thought. Artists pirate art software instead of choosing to pay for it. I feel like with the birth of the internet, there has been a huge boom in piracy. Perhaps we have to reform this culture of piracy instead. Another interesting topic is the public domain movement. I saw this one KZbin video about this guy explaining it titled something along the lines of "Why you shouldn't own your work" but for whatever reason I can't find it on KZbin anymore. I'm not arguing for it; I just think it would be interesting to look further into this topic.

There are also things we can still do to potentially prevent AI art from taking over. AI art is a copyright infringement abomination, and should not exist. Most artists do not want their art being stolen and mashed up by AI, so the best chance we have is fighting against them legally in my opinion. But please do not stop making art. AI may make take away jobs, but it will never be able to make original pieces created from pure imagination like you. AI isn't able to create exactly what you are thinking either, so your pieces will always be original. AI art is just mashed up pieces, and arguably not real art.

I come from a Computer Science background and have experience with AI + Machine Learning. I wanted to address a few concerns about this video and the comments. I completely understand where everyone is coming from because we fear being replaced by AI and robots. (I have the same fear because I worry that AI can code and build apps faster than me). When it comes to AI, it uses the past to predict the future in order to to create something. In other words, to determine someone's future or to develop something, we look at their past behaviour. AI can only look at past art (or past training data in AI terms) to create the art they make. That said, AI can not create something entirely "new." A Human's creative side of the brain is much more creative than a model that uses past data to predict the future, so there are limitations. (Technically, Robots + AI can feel emotion but that's a different discussion). Trends, future breakthroughs, and what we see prevalent in art (or anywhere in life) are dictated by humans and cannot be accurately predicted by AI by 100%. An AI can predict 70% of future trends in the stock market, but when it comes to art, art trends are constantly changing, and these trends are dictated by what the human eye/society likes. Not a robot. An AI can't have a "Taste" for art because all it does is suck and eat everyone's art. If it likes to eat absolutely everything for training purposes, how will an AI know what looks good and what doesn't look good if it perceives everything as delicious? Bro, if AI could 100% accurately predict the stock market, there would be no point in a stock market where there are losses. Let's take Arcane's (League of Legends) art style, for example. That art style with the brush strokes animation and the concept was entirely new. While the artists may seek inspiration from other sources (CyberPunk art or creating a mood board), its art style has been so signature and "new" , an AI would not be able to "predict League of Legends art Styles" in 2010. So keep doing your art. AI (and humans), don't know what will be popular or what new shows or movies will be released, so the only species that can determine what is prevalant is humans. Concept Artists are also valuable because we are expected to make "new" concepts, so how can an AI produce something new if it doesn’t know what past data to work with? If you are even more worried, people say pharmacists are going to be replaced by AI and robots. While I understand the fear, who will research new medicine to treat the sick, new chemicals, etc.? A robot can’t, if all it knows is the "past.” Also, we need researchers too because we need discovery. An AI CAN NOT Discover (if it only has past data). Only humans are capable of creating something "new" and discovering it. Something to think about.

[@nacioanacona]

I think your view on the matter is interesting, and I agree with you on most of it. AI can’t make a creative breakthrough and will never be able to create something genuinely new. However, I think the real concern about the usage of AI is the impact something like this can have on the number of jobs available, and how this technology could change the animation pipeline. Studios and producers take a considerable economic risk every time a piece of media is created. Coming up with new ideas takes time and money, and you can never be sure if something you create is gonna be a success. Since AI gives us the power of visualizing ideas fast and cheaper, the time and money at stake get drastically reduced, and the appeal of using this tool is a lot. I’ll give you an example. On platforms like TikTok and KZbin Shorts, the number of content creators using computer-generated narrators is high, and we’re pretty much used to it. Some of us even use it ourselves! Because it’s way easier and cheaper to do so. If you think about it, if we had to use our voices or hire a voice actor for every TikTok or short uploaded online daily, these types of platforms would never be as successful as they are now. Creatively, I think you make an excellent argument. But if we put it into practice, getting ideas down faster can be more appealing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! (PS: Adding to your argument, something that I could see happening is that the quality of new upcoming media can downgrade a lot because of these tools. Because, as you mentioned, AI is not capable of creating new things. But if the industry uses this tool anyway, we might get stuck in the past when it comes to creativity)

[@noctiknight8618]

@@nacioanacona I agree with you BUT, visualizing instantly an idea is limiting ourselves. Art is a process, and ideas can evolve during that process, a lot of illustrations or comics/manga, are not the same as the first idea that came out of the mind of the artist. And if those artists used to instantly visualize their work, maybe a lot of things that are in the pop culture now, would never have been created. There are so many exemples of huge artists saying that the work that made them famous was something completely different at first or that the work that made them famous was created because something happened in the life of the artist that leads him to feel a strong emotion, maybe anger, maybe sadness, but the artist needed to express themselves through art and BOOM it became a masterpiece ! so getting the ideas faster may be good but if you actually don't know how to make them evolve and if you're someone that like use AI but you never had any imagination, it will not be useful.

Yes. AI functions on preexisting databases that depend on human input. The logical conclusion to your argument would be that human work is valued. It is a best case scenario, however. The problem is whether human work actually WILL be valued, or whether money and productivity will speak louder. Considering how capitalism has such a stronghold in our lives, my expectations are rock bottom. Maybe I'm wrong, and we really can work together to solve this problem of AI reliance, but currently this topic makes me want to cry.

[@WTazCreative]

As a professional concept artist I can assure you that AI will not be overtaking the role any time soon. Ai is currently unable to implement the elements of visual psychology and design fundamentals that go into the work as a concept artist, (they basically just smash images together to see what they can get) which means that even if AI can make a beautiful image off of prompts it lacks the design foundations to be consistently effective for entertainment design. Larger studios know this and every time a junior artist brought up AI art during a meeting we ended up having the same conversation. Concept art is a lot more than just having lots of ideas shooting in the dark based on a prompt. The biggest problem that this will bring to the table for concept art specifically is in the presence of people who don't understand that there is more thinking and design in the job. Truthfully, concept art is %90 effective problem solving and %10 art. Unfortunately, anyone who is under the impression that concept artists are just good at art will pay a machine to spit out 200 shots in the dark before asking a real professional to get something perfect in the first 5 takes, and they'll probably assume that they were being smart while they do it.

Considering how my current direction in art is to become a concept artist, it deeply hurts that AI art may jeopardise my chances of success. However, I think it's important to remember that we shouldn't just stop drawing because AI exists. As mentioned already in Michelle's video, AI art (in its current state) cannot capture human emotion or the humanity behind an art piece. We, as humans, are still able to inject experience, story, emotion, and our own habits, style, and imperfections into a piece. While we are capable to make our own observations and have our own experiences, AI cannot. Who can say if it truly fathoms things like perspective or colour theory or animation principles and so on. In fact, I think that even if AI art became the new norm, that makes human art even more valuable and precious. So don't put yourself down. Keep creating. If you love art, then keep doing it, even in face of adversity. In the end, I do hope that people will feel more drawn to art created by the humans and their tools rather by an intangible machine.

Court ruled against him stating that enough human involvement into the piece has to be achieved before being able to copyright it under your name). Judging from all of this, since companies like money, producing work using AI will bring them no money as they cannot "copyright" it to their name. Now, I say this will create a unique market. Companies will hire artists to CREATE art specifically to be fed into the AI OR will just buy art from artists just to have the right to use it to feed into AI. This resolves the copyright issue (artists were compensated for the work the AI uses etc. And have their permission) AND they can use them commerically. Why? Imagine you are an artist. You draw 20 pictures by hand. You feed them into an AI. An AI produces a picture based on those 20 pictures. You can "copyright" it as its just a "collage" using all 20 pictures that YOU DREW. You we're involved in the process. You drew all the drawings. The output of the AI just took your own work and combined them. In this case, all "the company's" pictures were used and all the images were obviously human involved since all images used to collage were made by that same company - their employees (human involvement) etc. If for some reason, the court isn't satisfied, just do some manipulation in Photoshop using the AI generated images and there you have it!

But if you _do_ know the drums, you can program it to play as lively as any human being. A drum machine still needs a drummer in the end. If you know art, you can get an AI art machine to create wonders, or even to simply use it to quickly iterate between fully rendered compositional ideas without spending hours rendering each one. An AI art machine still needs an artist in the end. And while yes, it will be (not can. _will_) be used to cheat artists out of a job by shitty companies willing to make a quick buck, this already happens with music (soulless corporate music), and musicians still get gigs, because they're simply better than machines run by people that don't care.

It’s usually handed off to other artists like 3D modelers as reference for actual product design.

[@jerrycoob4750]

I think one big con about AI imagery is that it creates a subtle uncanny valley by sourcing its materials from existing works. Even if it looks right at first glance and is mostly anatomically incorrect, it still looks so weirdly _generic_ and fails to pop to my senses like _actual_ artwork does.

[@Rainjojo]

The people using this AI as a hatebone towards creatives act as if STEM jobs like computer science, engineering and whatnot won’t be taken over as well lmao. If your imagination can only be seen from generating a stolen work to cultivate an airbrushed unstylized piece- then thats just another level of sad.

You're the only artist so far, that I've seen, mention that AI can never take away the itch to create. That if you're only getting into art for the money you are getting into it for the wrong reasons. Thank you. I am an artist and I don't make a living with my art. Would i like to? Sure. But that's only because money is still important. I think AI and automation will one day get rid of the need for money and we can all be free to just create for no reason. If I may just continue my rant, making money from art is just a game of marketing and a certain level of extroversion; you don't even HAVE to be "good" to make money.

This reminds me of that time I went to art school because I dreamed of becoming a 2d animator like my faves Frank and Ollie, but all anyone cared about teaching/employing at that point was 3d. Then I discovered I loved digital painting but somehow ended up as a dance teacher who did graphic design for other dancers. Maybe my point is that as artists we feel we have to always be creating, and that's what it's truly about for us. It may not always make us money but we still have to create to feel fulfilled. So don't stop. Society cares about money, power, and celebrity; so I guess the people who can link their art to these things will become successful. For myself, I just want to help others in whatever way I can with my creativity, and hopefully that will be enough. Never stop coming up with new ideas and have a backup plan or two.

[@JoseVasquez-vj3lo]

Judging by how they are currently taking this to court, I can see this only creating a new "market". 1st - copyrighted material. I see this as an issue for companies who would want to commerically use whatever images the AI produces. Judging from past court rulings (monkey took picture of itself. Photographer tried to copyright it under his name. Court ruled against him due to lack of human involvement) as it stands right now, these images cannot be copyrighted and thus will create issues when these companies want to profit from these images as it will be in the gray area if they want to use it commerically. A simple solution? This is where the "new market" emerges. Companies will hire artists to CREATE art specifically to feed into the AI (and thus it can be Tailored to whatever style they want) Since these artists will be employees, and all AI art is using the art from their employees, I am guessing they will be able to copyright it. Why? Because there is human involvement. Think about it like this... You are an artist. You draw 20 pictures. You train an AI using ONLY these 20 pictures. You get an output. You could argue in court that you can copyright the generated AI image as its just a "collage" of 20 of your OWN pictures that YOU drew. You were involved in the process. You drew all the pictures. You fed all the pictures. You imputed the prompt. You did some last touch ups on Photoshop. YOU were involved. And thus, YOU get to copyright the generated picture and YOU get to commerically use it freely. Companies are treated as humans according to the law. So if a company hires employees to draw. And they use AI trained on drawings made in house, then by definition, THEY get the right to use the generated images commerically. Think of Disney or a big studio like that. They have thousands of drawings already that THEY did themselves (the company). And since all works produced by an employee is the employers by default, this is a solution for companies.
