[@obliviousthorne]

as a digital artist, i've always been terrified. first it was a fear of people stealing my art, editing away my signature, claiming it as their own, tracing it etc. now it's "will posting this mean someone is using it to train an AI to copy/replace what i've spent half a decade honing?" sometimes i question what the point in creating even is. i enjoy it. it makes me happy. I try to make money off of it through commissions. but when looking at AI art and realising that a line of code can do everything i pride myself on and better, it makes me question if i even had ability to begin with. especially since I already exist, as an artist, in an oversaturated market without AI; its impossible to even be recognised or have my art "seen." Maybe that's just the imposter-syndrome-anxiety + nihilism + fear of never being recognised for what i love most about myself (my skill in art) talking, idk. there are amazing use cases and potential of AI, especially in medicine. but the artistic side of things terrifies me.

I don't know, man. As a writer, this terrified me six or seven months ago. AI written books deluged the Kindle Direct publishing program, making the entire thing seem to be on the point of collapse. Then Amazon limited the number of books you could publish to three a day, and that sort of helped. It helps more that AI written books suck really bad. But will that always be the case? Whatever's happening, we're all stuck on this crazy train and it only goes forward. There's no conceivable world where everybody just forgets how to code AIs and we can go back to the way things were. We're going to need to learn how to compete with them, and/or the marketplace will need to learn to value human generated content.

[@GSBarlev]

GPT and other transformer models can _only_ produce "bad" books that don't say anything new or insightful because the thing that makes them practical to run is that they're _lobotomized_ of the recurrent neural layers capable of true "insights." In English: these AI are only capable of producing amalgams on what they've seen before. Now, does that describe (conservatively) 80% of modern human-written (especially self-published) fiction? Sure. But any writer who's introducing _new ideas_ into their writing has a leg up on these glorified chatbots.

[@kelinky-sama1603]

The point about AI not lowering the bar, but walking straight past it, is a really good one. A lot of people have defended AI art by arguing that they don't have the time, skill sets, resources etc. to become an artist, but that entirely misses the value of BEING an artist. Frankly, if someone isn't willing to put in the time and effort to learn a craft, they don't deserve the praise and recognition that comes with learning that craft. Not withstanding that A LOT of resources for art creation are already either free (e.g. Krita, FireAlpaca, Paint, Blender, literally thousands of KZbin art tutorials), or easy to come by. Part of the joy that comes with making art is the learning curve. A lot of us have this desire to have everything we could ever want instantaneously, but in the long run is that really fulfilling? Is it ultimately satisfying to click a button and make millions of artworks that align with your wants? We're just speedrunning burnout at that point. I genuinely worry it's gonna make a lot of people depressed.

[@ratwasnotbad4230]

@@biomerlBeing able to call something art does not make it ethical. If art was not a professional skill that people had to rely on to afford their right to exist, I would have less of a problem with people using an algorithm for art (specifically art, ignoring the directly harmful things like generated video) There are more specific things to question within just artwork, such as using an algorithm only fed by the artwork of someone who didn’t consent to it, and is still in the industry trying to make a living. Forgery is still art. But is it fair? The way I see it is that people creating algorithmic art are more like creative directors than artists. You give your ideas, get something back, return it with new concepts and criticisms, then repeat the cycle. This is a job that already exists. That’s why I consider AI art to be cutting artists out entirely. The result is art, but the person who directed it is not the artist. Of course all of these different ideas are subjective and you have the right to your own opinion. I just don’t believe that “AI art is harmful” and “AI art is art” are conflicting ideas at all. I want to offer a different comparison as well, because there is still an argument if you consider these people to be artists. If someone dedicates years to creating a 3D animation, but only used models that they didn’t own the rights to, they have created a piece of art. They have not only put in their creative vision, but utilized their animation skills. The resulting video is still not their property. The assets they used did not belong to them. Algorithmic images do not come out of a void, they are built with existing images. If those images are not photographs, they are the creative work of an individual. Algorithms can and have been used to copy the art of specific individuals. That situation is an innovation on crafting forgery, not original work.

this may be unique to me, but because I have schizophrenia I’m incredibly worried about this technology.

I’ve already seen someone irl accuse a lifeguard of being AI, and I worry it will only get worse and a bigger issue in our irl life from there. Again, this may just be a me thing, but as someone who already doesn’t experience reality the same way other people do, this is deeply destabilising and really scary. also, for what it’s worth, i’m a writer as well (in the games industry, no less) so it feels like i’m doubly fucked hahaaaa

This class of AI is not going to replace VFX artists. The way these models are being used is dumb and _wasteful:_ you can see that the images don't obey physics and feature a lot of details that are completely ludicrous outside of surrealism. That's because while they're not quite "diffusing" individual pixels, the visual encoding process is still entirely focused on the images and not the "scene" (that is, it isn't keeping a representation of the world it's trying to render). The computation is also *obscenely* expensive. Sam Altman wants *$7 Trillion* in AI infrastructure investment, which is just ludicrous. The main thing you need to worry about as an artist is not that these AI are going to replace your jobs, it's that company heads are going to buy the hype and _think_ that they can replace your jobs.

I'm a videographer. I think this will really affect generic stock footage, but if you need a specific shot I think this will struggle. As an example if I need a generic city skyline shot - sure the AI footage will be quicker and cheaper to use. If I'm hired by a restaurant in Manchester then I need a shot of their restaurant in their city. I don't think AI will be able to help there. If we're talking about McDonalds in Times Square then maybe it could generate something compelling but clients at that level want full creative control. AI only gives you something along the lines of what you want. Where I think this will shine is enhancing footage, changing the weather from drizzly and grey to sunny for example, but that still requires my footage as a starting layer.

Hey, Southeast Asian here. Answering your question if this is as far as AI goes: no, it's going to continue because there is demand. If you look up "UNESCO generative AI", that's one insight into where this is heading. Aside from research, it's also being implemented in the academe with little to no safeguards. Meaning, teachers and students alike are being encouraged to use AI not just as an assistant but as a creator with little to no regard or repercussions for copyright infringement and other ethical/moral concerns. Those of us who are on the more creative side of education such as writing, animation and game development are doing what we can to implement our own versions of it while emphasizing that AI should be used as a complement to the human creator's skill.

Honestly, AI feels like the culmination of modern consumerism. The entire focus is on the end product, not the process of creation itself. Creation is innately human-it’s something an AI would never be able to do. In addition, AI photography and video are RIFE for misinformation and scamming, not to mention the multiple ethics problems of compensation for work, copyright, and AI self-cannibalism-since AI literally, and I mean LITERALLY cannot exist without human input. The entire crux of AI “creation” is rooted in human creativity. People investing in AI now are shortsighted. If they kill off the careers of human creatives, they will kill off the source of the AI’s creation too. There came a certain point where AI images became so popular that they began to literally poison their own datasets. AI image-generators created from other ai generated images became more and more distorted until they were no longer recognizable. And that’s because AI *requires* human input. It *requires* human artists. All AI is, is a cost-cutting, short-sighted cheat code that some guys made so they wouldn’t have to do the actual study of art or pay real people who studied art to create work for them, not realizing that AI will eventually eat itself alive when it no longer has human work to parasitize off of.

It all rests on where the lawyers and regulators end up. So far, OpenAI have blatantly ignored copyright law and have told governments they need to be allowed to continue to do so for the technology to develop. Its not a coincidence that they've not touched AI music generation beyond what Amazon did a few years ago because both the case law and the companies are incredibly against them. I'm also always sceptical of crafted previews like this vs how the tool works when nornal people try to generate content with it but even if these are the best the model can do and other prompts are significantly worse, this is still incredibly impressive

This! AI does have the potential to do good, but while it’s being created unethically like this even the “good” it does is tainted!! And the music industry just proves how unfair it is to digital artists and writers. We don’t have the protection that music does and it shows… nasty stuff.

[@RLennoxx]

It isn't about lowering the barrier to entry, or progressing technology - artists and writers (and filmmakers) wouldn't/shouldn't be upset by that. As you said, it's how progression has always been. HOWEVER, what a lot of creatives are upset by is that it's taking all of our data, all of our human creation and then it is being used to "create" things from our work. Our hard work. Our blood, sweat and tears. Then it is being used to undercut us. It is not about halting progression, it is about us being screwed over.

My issue with the A.I. thing is that it’s not gonna let there still be jobs for most people. This is good for companies that own a certain A.I. There will start with a handful of techs to keep the A.I. working and to upgrade it. Then selling the rights for other companies to use it will not be a thing at some point ‘cause the owner of that A.I. can just have the A.I. make everything that the companies that were leasing the A.I. were doing. So more jobs gone. So people need to come up with new tech and be able to save money ‘cause the technicians working on the A.I. programs are getting paid. Big companies (at least in the US) wanna make as money as they can. So that’ll be when the A.I. needs to be made to everything without a technician. More jobs are gone and almost no one has a job. So pretty much, with the A.I. stuff that most ultimately want to end up having, it’s gonna be worse than the movies I Robot and Minority report. A.I. is gonna take almost everyone’s job and if you aren’t living the rest of your life on government assisntace/SSI, then how are people supposed to make money anymore if there are almost no possible jobs left? That’s the end game issue with most of the A.I. stuff. It’s to save money, which slowly cuts out the majority of jobs there can be. That’s my main issue with what A.I. is going towards.

[@Hebdomad7]

I don't think it'll last five years before the A.I starts maintaining itself and training itself with no human intervention. It will just ingest the usage metrics from it's users and adapt on the fly from there. I don't see how we go back from here. Unless we outright ban it right now, which no boomer politician is going to do when they barely understands how their desktop computer works and still insists on doing all their admin via paper. We are stuck between a generation who owns everything and yet knows little of todays problems... and a generation so entrenched into technology, they barely have social skills beyond the emotes they learned in Fortnite who are destined to be even more broke than we are....

[@Fenriswaffle]

Unfortunately its a weak limit. There are ways to copyright parts, IP, or the whole, or other aspects of the product without being a copyright on the content itself. Additionally, it has not stopped companies from issuing entirely baseless garbage DMCA takedowns (or worse, content-ID on YT) on creators who may not have the resources to properly fight it. The deck is so stacked in their favor.

[@bewawolf19]

You similarly will be facing the issue is consumers don't care about the creator but only the quality. You artificially ban any American company from using AI to protect the weeping artists, countries that don't ban it will outproduce same quality product at a massively cheaper device. It is the combine of progress now finally chewing up the digital painters just as it chewed up the other artisans centuries ago. Randomly trying to ban it is just a pointless Luddite reaction that doesn't even save the jobs made redundant from the tech. We just need to adapt to the new future.

[@BehindCriminalMinds]

I believe Sora is absolutely incredible and I genuinely cannot wait for it. I am a creator who routinely has to use stock footage for my videos. The ability to write a prompt and create my own scenes without the prohibitively expensive cost of buying stock footage is an immense leap forward. Technological advancements have always caused major shifts in our society. For example the invention of cars, planes, radios, televisions and cell phones just to name a few. The people who were once phone operators, morse code operators, horse and buggy operators, and pay phone owners all had their careers made obsolete by those new technologies. But the claims that it will replace us is short sighted in my opinion. AI may be able to replicate human creativity in many ways, but it lacks the inspiration, and for a lack of a better term, it lacks the soul behind what we create. AI is not a threat to your channel, because no matter how well it mimic’s you, it isn’t you and no amount of innovation will ever replace who we are as creators. But that’s just my 2 cents.

My personal opinion looking at two angles. First angle, this is scary yet impressive. The fact that its advancing at this pace goes to show how quickly everything is progressing and yes while it may mean less artistic expression in a sense and more churning of content. It still will be used along side human intervention which is not necessarily bad in the semse that things will be produced much faster and maybe at lower cost just throwing things out there. Second angle this and other Ai / automated stuff can and hopefully will cause us to resort back to more human and face to face interactions. Yeah you can fake an ai video but you vant fake a real life person (well at least not yet lol) this will cause another sector to grow once again which is the human to human interaction. I have a lot more to say, but yeah im not going to bore you coffee Zilla and others with a super long post but man seeing bothe sides of this really is fascinating.

[@MrGrinderman]

I'm a graphic designer, and have been at the top of my field (within my industry & country) for over a decade. I left my job and went freelance nearly 2 years ago. The second MJ came out I saw the potential. Meanwhile my old colleagues IT dept's weren't allowed to give in-house staff access. I've built a career designing original commercial art professionally, but now as a freelancer, time is literally money. The faster I can get the job done, the sooner I can start the next job. I can tell you 100% that in 50-75% of my jobs now, AI is infinitely faster, but not the way most folks might think. It takes me 4 hours av of prompting to get MJ to give me something I can take in to p'shop to work with, and it's hi res from the get go (especially now with aftermarket upscalers). Versus a day, or 2 (or 3) scouring libraries for images which in most cases will be low res and watermarked for concepts. And once I have the approved concept, I have burn even more time to go back and re-do the pice all over again in hi res. Then the idea that people without the skills or talent are going to use AI to displace real creatives...use it to do what? Most creatives with long standing reputations have a hard enough time getting enough work to keep the lights on! I can promise you that dickheads with MJ or Dall-e have no hope of stepping in to an industry they have no history in and making a single dollar. To say nothing of the fact that there's not a single AI image I haven't had to manipulate in p'shop to get it where I need it to be, and AI can't do typography much less live, editable type. I'm sure it will get there, but it aint there yet and that's a big deal. So are we all fucked? Probably. But we're kind of in the goldilocks zone right now where many creatives, especially commercial ones, are using AI as another resource for their work, especially given the watermarked, low res walled gardens offered by Getty etc. Their creative skills and talent, even if it's just the skill or vision to know what they're looking for and recognise it when they see it, is 100% required...and most importantly, their ability to get the actual work in the first place. Where's it all going? You could make a thousand guesses and still likely be wrong, buy a mile. But again, are we all fucked? Eventually, of course.
