A love letter to Ai art - you don't need to be afraid

Artists can actually benefit the most from Ai art and don't need to be afraid. In this video I want to share a perspective from an artist, and show the very process of creating the best Ai art with all the artistic talent you posses, which will surpass what anyone else can make with this technology.

[@mds_main]

Very well said and put. As a computer engineer myself I love the work you're doing to brind awareness to the public on how this tool really is. Unfortunately, judging by the comments down here, I think the fear-mongering against AI worked...

[@Shylteryne]

"fear mongering against AI worked..." as it should

[@mds_main]

@@Shylteryne Do you know that AI has been used in various fields for many years now? Medicine is one of such fields. My sister herself worked in the past years on machine learning and AI published papers that use this wonderful tech to assist doctors in their diagnosis and to enhance the results of some machines like TAC and magnetic resonance imaging that are used to find things like tumors in people. You don't see doctors complaining that this tech will steal their jobs, because they are smarter than that and they know very well this tech is literally helping them saving lives. And don't even get me started on the other fields AI has been used that the general public doesn't even know they are using it. Are you mad at AI? Well, be prepared to stop playing any videogame, to stop using any search engine, to stop using any translator, to stop using any scanning application, and the list goes on... You can argue that this tech is now readily available to the public (which, it already was actually, but whatever) and that it needs ad hoc regulations and I agree, but you cannot hold still the progress just because a few people feelings got hurt. I'm sure the invention of the printing press or the industrial revolution back in the days had their detractors, but we as a species evolved alongside those things and this will be no different. "Artists" need to adapt to this tech, the first they learn this the better for them.

[@hodarov1564]

It's not "fear-mongering." It's soulless work made from the copies of actual artists; which people rightfully find detestable.

[@mds_main]

@@hodarov1564 This comment only proves that you do not understand how this tech (on which I actually worked on for years) works. To put it in a way even an art person can understand (as in an artistic metaphor to not dump on you entire pages of technical terminology, so don't get offended for this line like other did), the training is no different from real people studing and recreating past pieces to develop their skills (which has always been a thing), but what comes after is completely original in both cases. If you call this "theft" then you must think people like Van Gogh or Giotto were thieves too.

[@jasonlavallee8195]

@@tollestoertchen I looked it over and I don't see why the left arm looks broken. I got mixed feelings on AI art so I'm not really supporting it to a major degree, I'm just curious. But the scale of the head was very obvious to me. Shrinking the shoulders made that even more noticeable. also, there were some details in the hands that seemed a bit off. like the fingernails. I think he may have an artistic eye to a degree, but I guess the better you are as an artist, the better you could be using a AI model. I just don't really care to look at AI art that much because the "work" put into it is just not at the same level as non AI assisted art.

Also in your own channel you literally have characters with huge heads compared to their bodies. you can claim it's an art style but so can he. if you are going to talk shit don't talk about something you literally do on your own channel.

[@tollestoertchen]

@@paulogaspar8295 well, my characters are obviously EXTREMELY stylized and there is NO intent to make them look realistic by any means. You wouldn't claim that Donald Duck's proportions look weird because they don't resemble a real duck, would you? And no, in THIS case he can't claim that it's an artstyle, because then it would have had to be a stylistic and intentional decision to stylize the proportions. And looking at his prompts which include "perfect proportions" and "photorealistic", it certainly wasn't. The comparison doesn't make any sense and you know it. On a side note, artists on his skill level usually aren't afraid of AI stealing their jobs, because they don't have a job in the art industry yet. I won't throw the "talking shit" card back at you, because it's always better to talk to each other like adults. I will admit though that my original comment was more passive-aggressive than it should have been. When the video came out, it just made me mad, which isn't an excuse of course. The main thing that triggered me was seeing his old art in the beginning, which had so much charm, being replaced by this other stuff. Anyhow, have a good day!

I'll be honest, I was really hoping you were gonna show us the artistic skills that went into this. This isn't AI-assisted art, this is edited AI art, and the edits are lazy at best, relying on being able to just feed it into another stable defusion run to clean it up. As an artist, you should notice that the finished image is only visually pleasing at a glance. The more you look at it, the more you notice how the lighting is all kinds of wrong, and there's very little cohesion between all the parts. For example, look at the hands: they look like they were cut from a photo with studio lighting and pasted in with no regard to the rest of the image.

[@dustrose8101]

The final image also messed up the perspective. I wasn't getting why everyone was saying her head was too big until I looked closer to the final showcase where not only did he bring her shoulders in, but she still has the proportions of the og image's foreshortening. It's like an optical illusion. Also the skirt is sooo fucked up I don't get why he didn't fix that.

Proportion is not the same as realism. Take Pixar for example, their designs are far from realistic but are considered the gold standard in the industry when it comes to character design, since an obscene amount of research, theory and study goes into making every single thing from landscapes to characters to objects have a distinct and cohesive visual language that is still far from realistic. To do this one must have a mastery of figure, design, construction, perspective, etc. Shad's art isn't amateur because it is not realistic, but because he has a so-so sense of construction, so his disproportionately designed characters look off instead of stylized.

As an artist, I completely agree. The effect on the social aspects of artistic life is also being overlooked. Many artistic kids (throw in music here, too, which can also be replicated by ai) , especially if they are shy or introverted, find purpose and friendships via their talent. But if nobody has any use for them and nobody cares, since they can just use a computer themselves, their unique talent loses much of its value. Also think of the friends or relationships we make for which the initial catalyst is meeting together for sharing our work, collaborating, shows and events, art school (which will become rapidly less popular...it's hard enough already convincing most parents to help their artsy teenager to go to uni to study art. It will be impossible except for the rich once everyone knows art careers don't exist anymore, replaced by ai)....all that will be gone.

"Without the consent of the creators, it has the same stigma as tracing." No. Flat-out no. When you trace, you take ONE image for direct copying.

Not to mention his artistic eye also butchered the already weird, but somewhat passable pose (the original looks like she's tilted forward, about to take off, or at least it seems to be what the AI was trying to do, hence the larger head and broad shoulders compared to the rest of the body), but his tweaks made the pose flat and on the same plane, while mostly keeping the original proportions. The result speaks for itself, everyhing is broken, but especially the absolutely gigantic head.

Maybe not as impressive as walking, yet still an admirable. Lastly, the third person walked half way, decided to call an Uber, got in the passenger seat, and gave the driver directions. Then, about 10 minutes from the destination, they got out and walked to the finish line-thus claiming they finished the challenge.

​@@AlexReynard ​Never said anything about people with disabilities in my comment. If someone with a disability uses AI to generated approximations of images in their mind, that's perfectly fine. It becomes a problem *if* they say they're an "artist". That was the point of my comment-someone claiming to be something they aren't (Shad claiming he's an "artist", like the third marathon runner "finished" the marathon). Regardless, I'd urge people with disabilities to try and overcome them than rely on AI. There are real artists with Parkinson's or missing hands worth checking out. To name a few: Norman Greenstein (Parkinson's), Henry Fraser, (paralysis, paints with his mouth), and Linda Riveros (born with no arms, paints with her feet).

Yeah... It's like the lamest possible timeline. I'm an okay artist who spends A LOT of time making each piece. It's disheartening to know I can pour dozens of hours into a single piece and someone can merely take it and instruct an AI to "make improvements" in some facet. A few minutes of iterating and boom, it's a version of my art that's better than mine. It's not like I make art for a profit or for an audience. I make it as a form of self-expression. Some of my works are my favorite pieces of art, but this rapid iteration stuff cheapens that for me for some reason. I dunno, it just feels bad. If I wanted to pick up art today, I would have certainly given up at the beginning.

When painting, you pick a light source and shade according to the direction. If you have a sunset/sunrise in the background, the character would be masked with a soft warm shadow and have an orange light contour. You can see this on the clouds, as they are mostly dark and the edges of the clouds are lit up by where the sunlight hits the shape. You can obviously look at the leg's direct light with the sun behind her and recognize, that's probably the only source of light available up here, and it's somehow hitting the front despite being behind her. The problem with your approach is that by skipping some of the essential steps in learning how to paint, you don't know how to recognize and see these mistakes, as you haven't taken the time to sit down and question where and how you should add light and shadow in a painting. There's no denying that you can produce some incredible looking pieces and AI makes for a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled artist, but you have to acknowledge the main issue with AI to create good artwork, which is the lack of consistency that creates distortion. And while I understand the criticism against AI is unfairly harsh, you can also see the reason why in this video---it's efficiency without proficiency.

The amount of distortion in AI art dramatically shrinks with every new model. A year ago DALLE2 struggled to produce any humans at all without messing up all the details, these days you can produce images within seconds that are indistinguishable from a real photo. DALLE3 also comes along with drastically improved language understanding, letting it generate even complex scenes that used to be impossible previously. I'd go so far to say that AI art already has surpassed the vast majority of human artists, by a good margin no less. And it happens to be 1000x as quick as them. Finding tiny little mistakes might help humans not feel completely obsolete yet, but if you'd look at human art with that same level of scrutiny, the majority of it wouldn't pass either. The difference is that AI art is still getting better at rapid pace while humans are kind of stuck in their humanity.

Shad, I don't think you truly understand just how much some corporations genuinely loathe having to work with "creatives". People with money have long been looking for ways to reduce or eliminate the humans under them. The idea that someone else profits from their ventures is repugnant to many of them. So long as they can sell what they think is a marketable product that's all that matters. It's greed, pure and simple. And greed cares not for our ideals. Also... Shad... as you yourself pointed out you're exceptional in this particular method of creating artwork. I don't know if you've heard of the recent controversy with AI art in the D&D book "Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants". Though done by a professional artist, there was still a lot of obvious tells like wolves having hands and humanoids having crooked hands and feet. Stuff that you clearly would have caught and corrected. But "professionals" are not held to your standards. That's a problem. So yes. I'm still afraid of AI art. Not because it's not a great tool for legitimate artists to use. I'm not disagreeing with you at all on that. I'm terrified of it because of how it will be used to either cut out creatives, or else to allow "professional artists" of abysmal quality to thrive because they're willing to sacrifice their integrity to do things on the cheap. Call me ignorant all you want. Just pray that history proves me wrong and you right. EDIT: Wow. The comments on this one are real winners. NOT! So many misanthropes worshiping the almighty dollar.

[@metakarukenshi]

a common argument for AI you see is "oh artists hated photos when they were made and thought they would lose their jobs" the issue with this argument is, Cameras gave rise to a new form of artistic expression called photography, that makes use of many of the skills artists use and some others. Composition, depth of field, lighting etc. so yes cameras replaced portrait artits for a time, but after a bit people realised that there was a level of human soul in a painting that camera couldnt capture. making drawing/painting distinct from Photography Ai images (I will no call it art) does not. there is no new skill to learn with AI it is a glorified google image search, it is a lazy crutch and an excuse to not learn a new skill. plain and simple laziness. as a tool for ai is great, it can churn out 100s of iterations of an idea that an artist can use a reference to make something amazing. but it should never be used for money in any capacity. to AI bros out there. grow a back bone and try. let yourself fail a few times, you will learn a new skill from it.
