About the speedpaint thing...I think what you say is a very accurate summary of what it's for and how it's really just a scamming device, but I do have something to add on. Although posting these things is just a scam, people could be using the speedpaints to learn how to draw, how to use sketches, layers, effects, etc. So yeah

[@backupforthevideos3861]

I think they are pathetic

[@lolaholliday]

​@@yizhenliu-qi8uuThe thing is why would you use an ai speedpaint to learn how to draw? 🤔 It's not a real speedpaint process and there's hundreds of free tutorials online made by actual artists which would definitely be a lot more useful to learn from The only use for helping learn that I can see is the model can take images and then produce a sketch version, and a line art version etc, which you could use to copy for a study I suppose

Ikr like what use do artists have for a fake speedpaint, if you were actually using AI as a tool to help make art then you'd be able to record the process yourself lmao

[@Spellweaver5]

Proving the authenticity of your picture was never the purpose behind speedpaints. The purpose was always to provide people with additional content. So pretending that the goal of this tool is to hide something, is disingenuous. Relying on any kind of verification method, including speedpaints, was never going to last. What's needed is regulations, and actually applying them in practice, to prevent people from mislabelling AI art as human-made. EU already took steps in this direction.

[@Lucien_M]

​​@@Spellweaver5although it may have been popularised due to the KZbin adpocalypse, the reason most people watch speedpaints is because of its authenticity. People like seeing someone's process into making a piece of art. Less people would watch if they knew the speedpaint was fake. AI artists can do the same by recording their prompting process. And when photographers want some extra content, they record themselves photographing, not fake painting their photograph

[@Spellweaver5]

@@Lucien_M they watch them because of their authenticity, but not to prove that a piece of art is real, with very few exceptions. Those are different things.

The fact that people feel the need to pretend the ai images they generated were drawn by hand just proves that the technology isn’t as cool or useful as they say it is.

[@hmmmmmm_3429]

nope, you all are taking it wrong, the project is not to fake process but to understand how ai does on images, it only does anime well because there are more anime artists posting speedpaints.... it is still very imperfect and idk how actual artists are failing to notice it... (i am not talking about diffusion but paints undo its to understand consistency in diffusion models and improve further models based on that, which is still very far to reach)

[@itswindyhere]

​@hmmmmmm_3429 what.. but this process is done backwards. It takes complete AI image and does sketch, line, etc.

[@felix-xd4mx]

ikr. public will not be impressed with AI generated image as they will be impressed with an artists' work. so they know they had to "prove" they "drew it themselves"

[@lolaholliday]

​@@hmmmmmm_3429 This is not how AI generates images! AI-generated images using diffusion models begin with a completely noisy image, akin to random static. The model is trained through a forward diffusion process, where it learns how images degrade by progressively adding noise, and a reverse process, where it learns to denoise and reconstruct the original images from these noisy versions. During generation, the model starts with a random noise image and iteratively applies the learned denoising steps, gradually refining it until a meaningful image emerges. Ai does not create images as shown here through 'sketching' and then building up a painting. This model was trained using end result images and real artist speedpaints in order to create a fake speedpaint for any image you input

Some people just can't do it (or rather don't want to put effort in learning) but want a piece of the cake, so they do this. GenAI is not a problem - it is a useful tool, especially in industry most people don't see (e.g. chemistry, manufacturing etc.) - it is people using the tool unethically.

[@Connection_Error-px7bn]

this, this right here. GenAI & AI in general can be incredibly useful, but as with all new technology, there aren't many rules regarding its use and the ethical boundaries involved. the best we can do is to keep fighting for our creative work - a.k.a intellectual property - to be given the protections they rightfully deserve, across all facets of modern life.

I'm a very small vtuber, but I wanted to have an art contest for my character. Since there was a reward of money for my 3 favorite works, I explicitly required the artists to prove they made it by providing some work-in-progress evidence. Either a picture of the sketch, a timelape, or footage of them actually drawing it. This may sound like a lot of trouble, but it was to avoid AI "art." After all, first place got $100, second got $50, and third got $25. The contest went well, and I had a lot more submissions than I expected. None of the artists had an issue providing proof. Now, however, I don't know how I'll be able to host another art contest with this kind of generated garbage being available. It sucks, because AI is essentially making it harder for smaller or younger artists to have bigger opportunities like an art contest. I don't like it either, because I don't want any AI art of my character, but I love to see *REAL* art of my character. AI bros and tech companies are ruining the experience for everyone. They miss the point entirely. It's not just about making something that looks good. It's about the people and the community.

[@DiegoHernandez-oc4bz]

There are various inconsistencies that can help identify this as AI. 1: the art style that the Timelapse starts with will almost always change. yes it’s simply anime, but there are many ways to draw in this style. Yet it follows towards a very generic pose and look. 2: the process is very non coherent and tedious. Why would you drastically change the art style every moment, why would you go from a painterly method to simple cell shading, and how could you make major changes on an almost perfectly rendered piece. You wouldn’t do these things because you’re not an AI We know that what we plan is either thumbnailed, or referenced heavily or perspectively to really have a plan for the most optimal art process. Which leads me to the third reason. 3: they only have Timelapse footage of the drawing. Not the program. AI doesn’t know what brushes, program setup, and color wheels look like. Nor how to fabricate footage of it without creating a Brocken and glitched display. I really hope these were some good points fellas and ladies.

[@Maren617]

What’s depressing is that ai programmers follow these ‘how to spot that it’s ai’ explanations as if they were advice on how to improve the programming, and within a year they’ll have ironed out all these flaws or found ways to hide them.

[@anzaia2164]

This changing the artstyle thing is especially visible with Kaworu here 4:56. Or probably with any image that shows a specific character, he's just the only one I recognise. There just isn't a scenario where an artist would start with a sketch that has this different of an artstyle, then ends up with an image this close to the original show. Like, his hair starts out wavy for some reason. An artist would have a reference, and be more precise with the look of the image from the start.

frequently i see some AI defenders argumenting that AI generators learn like artists learn, that is, observing and learning from other people's work. as a Software Developer, and an Artist, i can say: AI learns patters from pixels and attributes them to Tokens, you type the tokens and the AI does its best to reverse this process, and by that i mean that the AI has an generalizated batched MEMORY (which is the model) of pictures and their description, so the AI just learnt every concept it could and memorized its patterns, and it matches your input with the best match in the model. AI generators are just function to generate random numbers (noise), but refined and tuned to attend to our patterns, but they cannot escape from a single universal concept no computer can scape, and as like any computer sciencie dude knows: Any random number generator which is ran algorithmically will eventually loop, it will never generate unique numbers forever, this is impossible for ANY algorithms. And what i mean by all of this? Every image you generate with AI already exists inside the model, not literally, but it's optimized in a way it can fit LOTS of batched images, Everyting you type for input is just a seed which will be used to find the best match it was trained for. and the proof of all i've said is that if you use the same model and same inputs (including Seed, resolution, batch algorithm etc) to generate a image, it will ALWAYS be the SAME IMAGE, this is a FACT. And you know what's funny? this will NEVER happen in any other form of art, traditional, digital ( even incluing cameras ), and this only happens because the end output of our art depends on every little eletric signal our brain send to our muscles, the brain produces tens of billions of operations per second, we've been in the deepest places of our seas, we've been outside the earth, we made quantum computers, yet we've not managed to fully understand our own brain. This peculiarity acts every second in non AI related ART, and that's what makes it unique, yet, per chance, a language model could reproduce exactly your prompt and pass it to an AI generator, and generate the EXACT same piece as you were going to generate and type. And finally, AI only learn from humans, humans learn from humans and the reality, which is not an algorithm, we can touch, we can feel, we can be infinitely creative.

[@goblinbrained]

As an artist there’s so many giveaways that they’re not real, for example how it builds up a more rendered colour style then boom it’s suddenly cell shaded. Details suddenly being very different without the new one being redrawn ( the Kaworu in the kimono for example, his face is practically finished then suddenly changes to the final form) but I can 100% see how non-artists would be completely fooled. Honestly I’m just waiting for the hype around AI to burn out like it did with NFTs, the models are already cannibalising themselves (I.e. training on their own output) so it’s only a matter of time until they get diminishing returns.

AI generaist been bragging that they can the do the same thing with the push of a button but now they want to go... backwards? 2) "Prompt Engineering" is a bull**** soon to be obsolete skill. I use AI like SD, the Model and Lora do %90 of the work with minimal prompting. That's the point, prompting is redundant work and model makers build them with the training data to keep it to a minimum. 3) The reason you don't understand why people do this is WEALTH. Whether its money or attention, other people who look at what successful artists have that they don't, need a way to get to where they by making up for lost time e.g. They don't care about the process, they care about the results. Its a different mindset than traditional craftsmanship where the PROCESS is very important.

[@Carolsnewssubs]

Let me tell you this. We hear a lot about how art is not an essential pursuit. It’s not a real job. Blablabla, words used to belittle and undermine artist’s role in society. But art IS important, it helps shape our culture. I do believe that there is an entity out there who are trying to crush creative spirits in people and do whatever it takes to do so, and AI is one. They can write, design, paint, basically anything in creative field. But those are all illusions, they are inorganic, they are not real creativity, they’re just a bunch of data collected from us. We can create, they can only generate. Artists are powerful, they influence culture, they encourage creative, out of the box thinking, we are harder to control, we dare to question, and take routes that are out of the regular. Powerful people don’t want that. They want control, they want to dumb people down, and numb our curiosity. Keep on fighting guys, keep on creating, don’t let these AI gimmicks break your spirits, don’t submit to it. We need to empower each other more than ever. I’m not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but looking at how the world is slowly turning against everyday people’s favor, and the powerful became more greedy, you have to know what’s up. Never give up.

Oh god it's horrifying. As an artist, I can see that the timelapses are clearly made by ai, but I know that it's good enough that many people will get baited into this. There are quite a few noticable irregularities and weirdness to the ai timelapses like how the outline and shadow are sometimes in one layer/frame, or the colors being colored in weird sequences, and changes and tweaks to the drawing that would actually take an artist quite a while to fix (ai does it in 2 or 3 frames which is impossible for any real artists). But will non-artists notice that? No, and that's what scares me. I guess it's time I go back to good ol' traditional drawing on paper with my color pencils. Thankfully ai can't do that!

[@anunnacy]

Yeah going back to traditional is one way (at least as a hobbyist or if you're selling original pieces), but then again as soon as you wanna post your traditional art online AI can immitate traditional ones too. I mean they look fake and sh*t to us, but yeah.

[@Nassifeh]

Real Procreate or CSP timelapses.. you can see the brush moving, even if it's moving fast, and it's only doing one thing at a time because a human is operating it. If multiple lines are happening at the same time, it's not real. If every change just pops into existence, it's not real. Non-artists, I think, are capable of learning that the process should be *visibly animated* instead of just a bunch of screenshots in a row! And current AI tech can't do that and may never be able to for complicated technical reasons. It seems like the biggest problem here is really the question of whether people really care if it's AI? If they care, this is not even plausible. If they don't really care that much, then yeah they'll be fooled but they probably didn't need this to start with.

It may have recently hit the mainstream but we are already waist high in AI. it is in every movie you like and every TV show that you adore. You just don't know about it unless you work professionally in VFX. AI didn't just materialize in 2023. Best we can hope for now is the tech bros get bored and move on to the next shiny thing.

It is too big and integrated into too many things now, and as i mentioned, it has been around for far longer than people realize. 3D CGI have been using AI tools for over 15 years. Besides there are tons of applications for it that are genuinely useful that were impossible to achieve before and don't infringe on the professions of artists. They just don't get talked about. For example back in 2018 Peter Jackson restored WWI footage and released a movie called They Shall Not Grow Old. That used AI to extrapolate frames, fill in missing information, upscale the resolution and colourize everything. It would have been impossible without the use of AI. What we need maybe are incentives for businesses that retain artists on their payroll. Punish the ones that are replacing their staff with AI.

I really hate everything about AI. The fact it diminishes the human experience in art and creativity, the looming implications about how we will perceive reality…. I just don’t think it offers enough benefits outside of research applications to justify it as an open source tool like this. When it’s used more as a “calculator” I understand it’s function. Needing to quickly process information that would otherwise take ages to compute manually makes loads of sense. But for content and the arts? For social interactions??? The lingering thought I’m having is in the near future we won’t be able to trust ANYTHING we see or hear unless it’s in person (and even then I doubt we will remain confident). I foresee things becoming so tainted with “generated reality” that we will start preferring our own individualized augmented realities, choosing to be in them more than real life. Someone said something difficult to you that you didn’t like? That’s ok I’ll just remove them entirely from my digital world. There’s a person you have a huge crush on who would never date you IRL? That’s ok I’ll just make a digital version of them that loves me exactly how I want. … I’m hoping we don’t choose that reality for ourselves... Maybe there will be a mass exodus from the internet as we know it today to something different in the coming years. Perhaps in person experiences will become more valuable. All I know is many people seem to hate it just as much as I do, and that gives me tremendous hope. I think Artists and creators like you who speak up about this is vital.

So there are some things we can do as artists to prove our work is our own if a full screen recording is out of the question. 1. Obviously, showing each individual layer from start to finish screenshots or a short screen record flipping through each layer. 2. Creating a layer specifically for naming and showing each brush that you use. 3. Writing the name of each layer overtop the piece as you work on it on the same layer you’re working on, then using the eraser tool to erase it once you move on. 4. In a random point of time in your piece, writing something against AI after turning off all your layers and erasing it manually so the Timelapse captures it. Just a few things I can think of at this point.

[@Sidgirl5]

This is genuinely horrifying. I guarantee so many people out there are going to be accused of AI and have no one believe them, even if they show people a speedpaint over and over

[@randomfangirlontheinternet5563]

I feel this is really telling on the ‘ai’ bros. Who desperate and lazy they are to beak into the artist field and lie through their teeth. They want to be seen as an artist but they don’t want to have fun and learn how to draw. I feel we need to be kinder to new artist as well to make them more comfortable “failing at art” and not being afraid to show their begging art journey. Everyone has to start somewhere. Shout out to the ‘ai’ bros who pieced up a pencil and learnt how to actually draw. I have seen a lot of them breaking free from ai and actually create something. I feel this type of ai and technology is just to scam people. Or be used to make horrible and dangerous content. We need stronger laws against it. And I personally is quiet uncomfortable of the ‘open ai’ aspect whit what kind of photos are in there. Along how bad for the environment it is to generate this. Because ai generative video, picture and (stolen) voices is not it.

[@juhpiterisblue]

Oh my god.. This video hurt my heart, but still, it's inevitable. (Long text alert and possibly rant, sorry) I saw about this "AI speedpaint " a few days ago on Twitter, of course, in an argument of one knowing less than the other, that this would be good to avoid "gatekeeping art and helping people who have limitations to do so" but then I remember that there are blind artists, artists who don't move a part of their body, artists who has to do the impossible to put effort on what they love. Honestly, lying about your competence to feel proud of something you didn't do is sad, even more so if you bully someone thinking you're superior to them.

[@asealoce3818]

Is lazyness a disability now?... Also why would a blind person ever use AI art, they have less means of checking if the AI did what they invisioned, than if they just do it themselves. AI defenders using the gatekeeping card is just sad.

6:12 I have an answer you're not going to like. The answer is yes, people are embarrassed they have no talent so they fake it. Back in the 80s you could order a cell antenna for your car that comes with a fake phone so when you're parked at a red-light and people see you on your fake phone they think you're important, because the only people who owned cellphones were CEOs and business owners. Yeah you heard that right, so that people you may never see again think that you're a big wig. I have no idea why people need to impress complete strangers, either.

I will say, it's a very interesting (mis)use of AI.

And I'd bet quite a bit of money that the training data wasn't used with permission of the creators.

[@X1Daring2]

The thing that gives away the ai speedpaint is the strange color switching on the rendering sketch part, also some of the details look to muddy like a ai made it

[@Flareontoast]

The ai generated speed paints are interesting to watch. They lack the hm, experimenting , uncertainty, well, humanity - parts of the image just disappear without being selected or erased, backgrounds just appear out of nowhere, large parts of sketches are immediately refined, gradient maps are applied but only to like 3/4 of the character. They look more like if you took screencaps every, idk, two minutes during the drawing process and made it into a really long gif lol and you see the usual AI telltale- a you said, the anime style is very typical. But in some you can even notice asymmetry, strange hands, same face syndrome. There's a certain lighting that many of the examples you showed uses. It's interesting. I think one thing about people who 'make" ai art is that they mostly aren't personally passionate about art - they want results and don't even think about what it would mean to develop the skills to make that result themselves. Many artists use art as an outlet for emotions - good or bad - that's how you get vent art, art as birthday gifts, fanart of an anime you watched that made you feel things and can't forget. There is so much passion in making art, whether it's digital, or marker drawing, or a pencil sketch you channel your anxiety into in a doctor's waiting room. AI cannot do that because AI isn't people. And I hope, eventually, people will understand that. Also , fun fact, the word passion, in its etymology from Latin, includes the word for suffering or bearing something. Passion is something so powerful, and most importantly, powerfully human. Thanks for showing the different types of videos! While the procreate type videos are satisfying to watch, the other kind has so much personality to it. Sometimes you can see all the named or unnamed layers, the struggle with colour picking and selection tools, reference pictures blipping in or out, little doodles to figure out hands or the other eye etc.

[@JUSTaIDIOT974]

This scares me even more, and there are people who are saying this isn't wrong??? Like, what other proposals does this AI "help" with other than just pretending to be an artist???? Our only way of showing that we are really artists was by showing our speedpaints (and we have to do that a lot because allegations of using AI are happening a lot) man, this is really so scary...

[@Deadman_4679]

I agree with you in that these developers suck but they aint doing it to help scammers they are doing it to line their pockets because the scammers will pay them for the technology. I for one love AI believe it can be used for some amazing things BUT photos and videos should never have been something that was developed like at most i would allow its development for programmers to test the capabilities of AI nothing more it should never have been available to the public and I think it should be considered a crime that the public has been given access to it.

[@doodlywizarddog8020]

Yall, idk if it will work, but lets just write "i am human" somewhere on our canvas and leave it there until we finish the project until we finish the drawing. Usually AI struggles with words so it MAY work. If it doesn't, we can also just spam the view and unview on a layer for a while so it lasts a second or more on the autogenerated speed paint. Maybe combine both?

[@doodlywizarddog8020]

That, or put a image of a meme somewhere on ur canvas until you finish the drawing

[@lolaholliday]

Interesting idea 🤔

[@the.axolotlgirl]

Or randomly add a blur effect then take it off

[@Velvetin3]

Having some kind of signature "thing" that you do could probably help. If every artist does something weird occasionally during their speedpaints (randomly inverting the colors, drawing a shitty neon pink mustache, w/e) then that'd be 1) confusing to the AIs training on it and 2) incredibly difficult to get an AI to do the same out-of-pocket alteration consistently. The whole point of AI "art" is to be lazy, so why not do something that is both fun and absolutely maddening to convincingly replicate?

[@coconut7117]

This wouldn't work since the user of the AI generated images would just manually write it over the image

[@shadowdemonaer]

Guess all we can do now is show the whole process with no editing in between? I doubt an AI generator will be powerful enough for awhile to be able to keep it consistent while showing us drawing for 2-8 hours straight.

[@c.a.fontaine1074]

Just use a watermark from your art program if the ai copies it the company can be sued.

[@DaleIsWigging]

So many images I have drawn that I would want to scan and do this with. This is probably a bigger thing at the moment because ai video generation is still really early and bad but giving it input and output images seems to be working much better, especially for anime type animation prediction. I've never understood the artists obsession with owning their art, have pride sure, but many are obsessed. Many algorithims that digital artists use are created by people who really want art for the sake of art and liscense their "art" (programs they create) as a free liscense for others to modify however they like. This code is a form of art.

[@ScoutPlaysKalimba01]

As long as you have original files for the project you can easily prove that you drew the piece. If you suspect that a speedpaint is AI generated ask OP what program they used to draw it and if they can send a screenshot of the layers to prove that it was a real piece

[@4Beloved4Stardust4]

Also, I could be wrong but I feel like when doing this yourself you would ideally take the picture with another device and your own hand/piece of paper Reddit style. Because then they can't just take your screenshots and use them to steal your art. Cause hands are also really diverse so if someone has a different hand everytime it wouldn't work. 😂

@@TurtleMaster803 I'm pretty sure you have to manually do it for every individual artwork.

The default option is "view fixation", but if you switch it to "with window", then it'll show the layers when watching the speedpaint and yada yada pretty epic

yes, and also other types of speed paints, mostly a type where it only records the strokes you do on the canvas (it doesn't record erasures tho), so like it takes a picture of ur canvas in every stroke you do. There's also another one which you can actually custom your record, let's say, record canvas in every 10 seconds, so it will only take a pic of what u did every 10 secs, so if u put that as a video, it's a very speedy speedpaint coz its flashing certain progresses instead of the whole timelapse. I find myself more comfortable with recording the whole screen 1) for authenticity of the experience and 2) most practical and easy to manage.
