People in general associate AI art/thumbnail with laziness and lack of creativity, this kind of stuff. And also I didn't know how much work is needed for an AI thumbnail. But after all I think the people who unsubscribed overreacted a lot, because we know the effort you put in your videos and you telling us your personal stories gives the feeling that we're more close to you and we're your trusty sidekicks

[@Sweetdude64]

Only losers associate it with that because they're too ignorant to look into it so they ironically steal the opinion of toxic drama youtubers who spew their venom

[@RoundShades]

Really people who will fight anyone in any place over ai art, are incredibly niche topic people. I know of one, they're not bad, but AI art isn't a damning topic, they just associate it with people who get around having any real art or artists, and they're an artist. Some people use it for intentionally uncanny horror game assets, some people use it for placeholder or parody/nonprofit assets. If they aren't actively trying to skirt around artist involvement, it's no big deal.

[@MrBelles104]

I think the problem with AI art is that it always has some style around it that makes it stand out. The uncanny valley-esque feeling that the thumbnail's creative process is not understood while other thumbnails can be looked at and see how the creator managed to produce them. Granted, I haven't seen the original thumbnail, so I don't know what it looked like.

that is because of the prompt i think popping color attracting more people and AI make it that way because of all the statistic it have if you want a certain "style", you have to instruct it that way instead of let the AI do everything on its own

[@gabrielrippel5675]

​@@SJB2A huge problem (the reason I & many others have a problem with it) is that AI art generators need a TON of reference photos. These photos aren't taken voluntarily - they're just scraped off the internet, without the artists' consent. This makes a lot of artists feel that companies like OpenAI are stealing their work in order to replace them. And it is! From Disney to Hasbro (allegedly), corporations are already using AI art to avoid paying real artists. There's such a strong negative stigma around AI art that you'll always get flak for using it, in addition to the style being bland and boring.

Lots of people think that AI steals art from artists, but thats not true. AI have learning algorithms and they study a multitude of art to create their own. Its very similar to how humans base their art on what they learned, and eventually create their own.

For me, i have nothing big against AI. it has helped in places and that's great. But those who use AI for art got no support from me, cuz it takes jobs away from actual Artists. And it has been known, that many AI Data bases used art to trace/learn from, without permission. You can literally ask it to make an artpeice from an artist, say it to copy its style, and it'll do so. After a few tries/Redo's, and you'll have an AI generated picture, copying an artist's style without permission. (It dosent help that with the whole Actors strike was against companies copyrighting their voices to use AI instead of paying the actors and do cheapscape there-) That's, just my take and others can take it differently.

[@trepidati0n533]

AI does not exist. The machine can't explain why it did what it did. So what we actually have is "machine learning". The problem with machine learning is that it is now eating its own content. This will force a regression to the mean which means eventually you have something that is just "average". Thus, without NEW information it can't get better. Furthermore, since you know it is making anything new but using already existing data, it is very possible for people to pollute the data pool. This means, people can make ill informed decisions thinking that what they are being told is correct and they have zero ability to know if it is right or wrong.

I'm profiting off of your work without your consent. That's what AI does to artists. You could also look at it like this, if I made a react channel and used your videos to react to and monetized that, you've done the work for me. All I have to do is comment over it. That's what being an AI artist is like. I don't hate you or judge you for using AI to create a thumbnail, but you should definitely research what AI is doing to people and how it affects them.

[@jamescomstock7299]

I think this betrays a common misconception about how stable diffusion and similar generational AI works. It seems like there is an expectation that the original art piece is stored and can be regurgitated in its original form by these tools. That belief is incorrect. Trained AI cannot recreated with perfect accuracy the art they were trained on. That art literally does not exist in the model, and a perfect plagerized copy of a work of art is pretty much statistcally impossible for any image over 50 or 60 pixels. Therefore, comparing the output to a reaction video is at best misleading... The original source doesn't exist anymore... A better comparison might be if someone could make a similar video but could make it difficult to tell it wasn't created by SJB and just published on a different channel. But it would still be different, but in a very similar style.

An internet rando's two cents on the topic: (What people usually call) AI is very risky to use in front of audiences because a lot of generative models are made to scrape/collect data from all sorts of random sources with uncomfortable frequency and mash what it knows together into something that fits the prompt with variable accuracy, which frequently results in things that, to a lot of people, 'don't look/seem quite right'/are uncanny so to speak and make them feel like there wasn't any 'soul' in what was made [and I kind of agree]. With recent developments like OpenAI's Sora, which is a text-to-video model that can make highly realistic-looking scenarios, those audiences are [pretty rightfully, in my opinion] afraid that the future will be ripe with AI-borne misinformation if generative AI efforts are not heavily regulated or shut down. So that's basically why a lot of people, me included, are against AI. Regardless, though, I'm still subscribed, still love your videos and enjoy when you talk about miscellaneous topics in them, regardless of what they are.

[@jamescomstock7299]

In a word, the AI drama mostly boils down to fear, in my opinion. While I do agree that there should be protections built into AI tools that prevent users from explicitly copying an artist with prompts like "in the style of", which is explicit plagerism, I haven't seen a convincing argument that explains the difference between regular people looking at and learning from freely available art online, and then subsequently making and selling their own art, and how that is fundamentally different from letting AI create original art that has been trained on the same publically available art but is driven by creative user ideas. I do, however, get the discomfort artists feel. As a coder, AI is making a lot of strides in my field that jeapordize the value of my existing skills, as well. So I'm also concerned about the democratization AI brings to the work in my field by allowing less skilled workers to achieve similar results. In spite of that, I personally look at it as an opportunity to focus more on the big ideas, rather than the execution I have had to focus more on until now, but I would be lying if I said i didn't get a bit uncomfortable wondering if I will be able to reinvent the way I work and leverage the new tools AI provides and if it will result in a hit to my earning power. Overall, I think castigating everyone who uses the technology is an overreaction, though . Whether we like it or not, the cat is out of the bag and AI is here to stay and will change how we a work in many fields. Taking a hard line stance won't make any long term change to the outcome and will instead remove a tool from the arsenal of many existing and aspiring artists. Much better, in my opinion, is to request concessions that protect the work and ideas of individual artists in the places where the original artist can still be consulted, but asking for an outright ban and demonizing those who use the tools is not a viable or fair long term strategy.

Another problem with AI besides your point on stealing money from artists because you are the artist of your thumbnails is that AI is built on looking at already existing images on the internet, meaning if you have a prompt to take specific elements from art styles and thumbnails that artists had not given permission to be used for things like AI, then you are stealing from those artists. Theres always the "you posted it its your fault" argument but thats just mean imo. Also I think more importantly using AI to make thumbnails faster normalizes it in the KZbinr landscape meaning that it's more likely that KZbinrs with channel artists will see AI art being used more on the site and replace their artists with AI, effectively stealing a job.

AI models are trained on images from across the internet that are taken without consent or compensation from the original artists. OpenAI/Microsoft are profiting by taking artists' work and using it to train their models, and the artists are never compensated. Then (in some cases) those models are used to put artists out of a job. I think AI is an exciting tool that has the potential to do great things, and in some areas like medical research it already is. But the training methods for some popular current AI tools are pretty unethical.

4 Reasons people hate AI-Art: 1. Stolen Art To train the AI it needs learning data. This is taken from the Internet. Nobody really knows where but a good guess is from basically everywhere. Also from a lot of actual artists who did not give their consent, who were not even asked if their pictures can be used for that. Therefore, a lot of the art generated by AI is made of the fundament of actual artists who never see any credit for their original art. 2. Creativity Also this is the reason AI art is considered.ot creative. Yes you have to tell the AI what you want to see but how it realized your vision is up to the stars really. AI does not consider every brush stroak carefully or make "happy accidents" or thinks about composing a picture. A LOT of creative effort is just nonexistent wit AI-Art. 3. No Money for Artists Staying with artists, the more and easier AI Art is accessible, the less artists get paid to make their own creative artwork. It is already hard enough to get any money from Art, be it digital or physical. Only very few exceptions can make a living out of it. With AI-Art, the little money That goes to the few creative people (often just some nice individuals who want to earn a little bit on the side with their hobby), Is basically "wasted" because someone did not want to spend a bit of money on some creative art but just put a bunch of words into a textbox until there was a good enough end result. Which is a shame because those artists who put a lot of effort to make something creative and amazing will get the feeling of "I am not better than some robot and nobody likes my art as much as to pay a bit for it" even tho it is miles better, more creative and much more work than AI art. And for last 4: Environment Generative AI like ChatGPT and Text to Picture algorithms take a lot of energy for every answer they have to generate. I don't know the numbers but I remember I was shocked to hear how much CO² is already produced because ChatGPT & Co. blew up in the last years. It's crazy and while I think this is does not necessarily mean that those tools are bad, it is still something to consider and to think about when using it. I hope that clarified your confusion aittle bit.

I think that the recent developments in machine learning and image/text generation are very interesting. A lot of the image generation stuff is ethically questionable I think when it comes to the way that datasets were built, since they just scraped images without requesting permission. But at the same time, its really interesting, and I screw around with Stable Diffusion on my own home computer and GPU. I just am not comfortable with sharing what I generate, and especially not with claiming it as something I "made." I leave that to my photography. I think that a lot of the talk about image generation having "no soul" is BS though. People who are already convinced they don't like it tend to look at really poorly generated images and use them as the standard for everything "AI" image generation is and ever will be. I've seen stuff that legitimately has good composition, perspective, and color theory. Even if it's just trying to approximate an image based on a prompt, it's starting to be surprisingly decent.

There's nothing inethical about it. It's progress. It's saving lives and bolstering the community while rapidly advancing our technology and understanding of it which can help us better understand the universe. I would say anyone against AI is being not just inethical, but down right unreasonable. They don't have the right to harm or hold back society to such a tremendous degree

[@rothstarr1703]

I don’t really care if people use AI in thumbnails. My issues with AI are larger scale problems like deepfake p*rn, political mis and disinformation, books/tv/movies/music, and stock market manipulation. Edit: but I do think AI generated content should be required to be labeled as AI generated

[@womp6338]

I don't like ai stuff because there is so much low quality ai content online

[@Astryca]

I think people dislike ai because most ai art software use illustrations by artists without their consent in their database. I work as an illustrator myself, and it's a decent tool to just quickly get something visualized, but I'd feel bad for using it in my monetaized work. Though I guess ai art can kinda be compared to sampling in music, or referencing in literature. One thing I accept as a content creator on other platforms is that when I put something out on the internet, I willingly lose some agency over it, because people edit my stuff all the time, and now they do it even more

[@edgemaestro1777]

people are stupid, don't think about it, if they unsub because you used AI, then it's good, you have just filtered out the dumb ones

[@drippyjowo]

Chris, I don't think we care THAT MUCH about AI thumbnails I actually saw it, and I really liked it So if you want to, you could most certainly keep using those! 😊

[@MultiBoxingKid]

A lot of people despise it, he just has to know that a lot of people will not like those AI thumbnails. I personally don’t care if he uses AI, let him do what he wants.

reply?

[@sleepycCh]

Just to be clear Chris, you are not the artist when you are using AI. All the people who made the source material for the AI generating the art who may or may not have consented to their work being used are artists. Unless of course you only fed the AI your own original material. And really the only way you could prove it is showcase yourself generating your thumbnails

[@floren8642]

AI "art" steals data from real artists who did NOT agree to it being used, the reason it's hated is not only because it steals jobs from real artists, it's also because it's a form of stealing art from people who actually put in the effort to learn art, i really hope you won't use AI "art" after all that

[@kanderson9396]

The issue with AI thumbnails isn't your personal laziness or even they way it looks. It's that AI art inherently steals th work of real human artists in order to produce the image you describe. It doesn't actually create anything itself. It's all pulled form a data pool of existing and fully uncredited art. I'm not going to unsubscribe over a thumbnail, and I love your videos, but I do think it's important to know the reason why so amny people might have been so disappointed.

[@Sweetdude64]

vocal minority who don't know what they're talking about

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

One of the main reasons why AI-generated Art is despised is because the AI, from what I heard, relies on all other artwork on the Internet (depending on the AI Art generator program) to craft something and in a way, "steals" other people's artworks or styles around the Internet to craft something "new". While I sometimes like messing around with AI programs like NightCafe on occasion for personal entertainment, I would avoid using any AI programs that relies on other people's creations for any other purposes (especially commercial-use and stuff). I personally don't hate AI-generated content (I find them cool in concept but in execution...) but I understand why it's hated and how unethical it can be. I wouldn't mind AI generators to a thing lasting in our futures but it depends on how they are coded, which can change my stance on AI later.

[@YanDude1]

AI good haters goofy

[@brandaid6558]

You don't even understand what ai does when it generates images. How it affects the art community. The laziness it exudes. Do research and you should come to a clear decision on these things
