The article: "The anime industry, which has a labor shortage..." Ah yes, the old "labor shortage" lie, companyspeak to say they don't want to pay their artists a decent living wage.

I like the new copyright rules regarding AI. It is obvious, only the HUMAN WORK on it has copyright protection.

I honestly wouldn't have a problem with ai “art” if it was not used to replace artists, but to create custom reference photos for them. Lots of wasted potential that could've been genuinely useful.

Yikes, you're overlooking a massive problem with Adobe Firefly. Stock photo artists *DIDN'T* consent to their stock being used in AI. There must be a line between a human using a free reference and a corporation using that content through AI, stock is always dependant on creative commons licensing. It's better but it's still a deviantart level scummy move!!

The issue with AI is not the fact, AI is a tool (that could be really useful to e.g. generate references to be used as inspiration for pieces), but the fact that in it's current stage, the rampant dishonesty from AI trainers (as they are not artists) and the unethical database that is being used. If AI generated images were to use ethically sourced databases, there would not be an issue, but sadly as it stands people and companies who use it are rather here to exploit artists than to care about ethical measures.

Ai isn’t art. Ai is automation. Automation is the removal of the human element whereas art is the expression of the human condition. Props to Paizo for not propagating the lies of the sheltered, entitled brats who think their colons are the entire universe.

Just got into the video and I'm already loving the updated boarders, setup and avatar! 💙

Hmm so glaze is effectively a transparent watermark. That's actually incredible since it means you can program it so that the image displays one way in your program and differently outside of it. That effectively would stop most copyright theft of images until they figure out how to get around the image.

There was an “anime festival” that had a booth sell ai generated art and claimed the art as his own. He would not do commissions and he got really upset when I gave him and paper and a pencil.

I love this art news! I don't think I've seen any other art videos like this, this well. And as you said, there is some interesting art news out there, but it doesn't need an entire video for 1 specific thing. I would have not known about half the stuff in this video had you not compiled it, so that's great. :3 Keep up the good work.

I hope Google implements a toggleable filter for their image search to not show any AI art. For now adding "-prompt" to the search query works pretty well if not perfectly.

I am a person that uses A.I generators (not proudly) to make an arts of my OCs for my story. And i am not able to pay real artist to draw them for me because i would go bankrupt. I don't use it for my profit. I dont share it because i wouldn't feel good about it. I use it for my own satisfaction of having an art of my OC in some way. And i plan to use those arts as reference for my drawing. In the future. Because i would want to start learning

I actually quite like this new video form. I'm not allowed to be on social media much besides KZfaq, so most of the news I get about the art community comes from you. Being able to watch one video and learn about so much of what's happening in the art community helps me so much as I try to grow as an artist since I won't be in the dark about everything. Also, I really like the layout; Duchess Celestia looks like a newscaster and it's really cute! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into making these videos!

Thank you for the heads-up about the redbubble account , I just cancelled it : When I clicked the cancel button ,there was a pop-up that said that "my account was premium and unlikely to ever be charged ", which I know is bloody bullshit because I haven't logged on for like a year and have never made any sales , I only had it to make print-on-demand gifts for friends and family.

I've known about AI art since my young adult days many years ago when it first appeared. It took this long for the topic to finally spread wide enough for people to finally start to tackle the legal issues surrounding the topic. I am so happy to see the legal side of the topic finally start to resolve.

Glad to hear some good news for artists regarding AI. I never doubted that human art will always triumph over AI generated images, just took time for enough people to realize the exploitive nature of the current model.

I don’t have a problem with AI art being used for funny purposes, but when you use it and claim it as your own- it’s just- no. That’s disgusting

omg the updated layouts and avatar are STUNNINGGG!! The colours pop much more, it looks beautiful 🥰

YOOOO!! new sprites, new layout, and this is also a super cool way to format videos!! hyped~!

I'm so happy I stopped using Redbubble because the cost was too low :/ ALSO Long live human artist, omg I'm happy that AI art is banned, particulary in video game section because I was really worried that it would be expended too much in there :/

Can't tell you how many times I've tried to buy from Redbubble just for half of my order to be of horrible quality and the other half to just literally never show up. Not suprised they are complete garbage on the seller's side too.

I would not be surprised if chat GPT suffers the same fate as companies like Napster. They jump in on a stage where there is legal ambiguity and start doing things that are obviously not going to hold water and then the litigation starts.

All this ai dystopia has convinced me to never delete my .csp and .psd after finish drawing. Never know when ur gonna need your WIP as proof.

I love new interface of your video!!! It looks much better imo 😁 Also new sprites are amazing!!

9:28 There is no labor shortage! They just do NOT want to spend as much money on talent!

AI art isn't art at all. By definition, art is self-expression and creativity, and AI has no self to express and no creativity. AI just approximates what a human would do using a prompt, shapes from human art, random noise, and probabilities.

I love the new avatars! The hair looks so silky and beautiful. I can't think of anything meaningful to comment on because my brain turns into a potato, but I enjoy your videos a lot. Looking forward to the next one!

I deleted my Redbubble store 2 days ago. AI is not creating art, it's assembling images stolen from the intellectual property of real artists. Copyrights either mean something or they don't. If they don't - then this needs to be addressed by World Governments and large corporations, all who own massive amounts of copyrights. If my copyright doesn't mean anything - neither does Disney's, Universal Studios , Paramount, etc.

10:38 - It's not even half as bad as it is here in Poland. There's multiple book publsihers already using AI for covers on many books and whenever you post a comment on their socials about it they straight up remove it and ban you.

The live action anime monstrosity also sampled it's style from vampire hunter d. So that's also a thing.

So glad to have you back Celestia! I know your tablet dying on you (plus losing channel assets) was really stressful, but it’s cool to see the new sprites and background you’ve drawn. Your new sprites look so colorful and vibrant :D loving art news

One additional piece of good news about AI: the EGAIR association managed to make the Europen Union modify some laws and introduce protection of copyright of art (I don't remember if all kinds of art or just visual). And this is just one first step, they plan to make much more!

Ok. So, awhile ago. I did "your name the Hedgehog" in... Craiyon? Anyways, one of the first results was a picture of a hedgehog... And just like, a bunch of fingers surrounding it. It was lying on a bed of fingers

I’m pretty shure the movie klaus used an AI program with their animation, specifically to quicken the time it takes to do all the lighting so it’s more manageable and easier to create a beautifully stylized film. They of course had to adjust a lot during the production since it’s not all accurate but it helped them be able to actually make it. It’s a good example of how it can actually be used well in animation. Everything else was drawn by hand. I wish it was used like that more because it could possibly bring a 2D animation renaissance Whare it has all the cool stunning shading visuals of cgi but allows for the cool stuff that only 2D can do.

There's this one dude in a discord server, who claims he creates art but it's so obviously AI, the way nothing matches up and it is the exact art midjourney makes and yeah, it's so obviously AI, also the way he acts, he wouldn't stop spamming in the chat to rate his "art" and I said "I am 99% sure this is AI" and he got mad

This was always my fear with AI. It’s not that I had any fear of AI performing better than artists. It’s that I know that employers will try to cut corners by not hiring actual people. Exploitation on top of exploitation.

Oh my gods, Celestia, your rework of the video layout is AMAZING. And your avatar looks even more gorgeous! I absolutely adore the new shading, makes you really shine 💜✨💜✨💜✨

Corridor Crew is an actual VFX studio that can and does make CGI work. They don't need to hire animators or anything like that cause that's their job (at least CGI wise). Their anime was also janky because its effectively AI rotoscoping as opposed to manual rotoscoping.

"the anime industry, which has a labor shortage" Hmm gee I wonder why a famously overworked and underpaid industry where workers routinely have heart attacks directly related to stress and starvation might have a labor shortage. Hmm I wonder if there's a solution to that. Hmm nope. AI time.

That Banana art is basically a physical NFT.

This was definitely really cool and I'd love to see more of this! ^^

Oh, hey, I rather like this. Love the newscaster-style visual format sprinkled with your trademark sardonicism. (It's also a nice way to see Celestia's-I'm guessing that's her name?-pose artwork more up close, which I will never complain about b/c I love her design. 🙂). I also appreciate the variety in subject matter and the dedication to getting good news and advances in art mixed in, as opposed to just internet tea and drama all day. There's enough depressing stuff out there already, and this was nicely tonally balanced (more or less, you can only stop the AI elephant from stomping all over the room so much 😄). Looking forward to next month's.

Great little sum up of art news, but just something you may not be aware of: Adobe Firefly was trained on the stuff contributed to Adobe stock, but stock contributors have no way of opting out. This is from the Firefly FAQ: Q: Was Adobe Stock content used to train Adobe firefly? A: Yes, Adobe Stock content is part of Firefly’s training dataset, in accordance with your Stock Contributor license agreement. Q: Can I opt out of the dataset training? A: No, there is no option to opt-out of data set training for content submitted to Stock. However, Adobe is continuing to explore the possibility of an opt-out.

I love ai art , but I also love real art but if ai is trained on copyrighted images well … it's evil and unethical

I'm so glad more people in the "provetional" art industry are stating to say that "AI artist" aren't "Artist", becouse it's honestly the thing that pisses me off the most about AI "art"! (Besides, you know, the stealing and deception...) Like, honey! You aren't an artists! The three year old in my child care is more of an artist than you! Becouse he actually creats something HIMSELFE, even if it does look bad! All you do, is put words into a machine and let the machine do the work! If anything, you are closer to an author than an artist -.- Hell, this anoys me enough that I started banning every AI "artist" that instagram dares to throw into my feed! Becouse I don't want to see or interact with their delusion, and I don't want them to interact with my content!

I am waiting to see what is going to happen on sites like Deviant Art, Pixiv and many wallpaper sites that seem to be attracting AI generated CSAM related content. I get the feeling that AI generators will need to have an ethical filter applied to ensure it complies with laws and customs in the area where it is being viewed.

I've been to a music concert dedicated to a regional musician who would turn 100 yesterday. I only went because my relatives found out a relative of them-who is also a regional musician-would be there. It was a great show... Except they have been caught using AI art in the background. There was a screen behind the musicians that was supposed to show speeches from the organisers of the event. During some of the songs the musicians played, realistic pictures of men in horses with flags of my home country-Brazil-as well as Argentina and Uruguay, sometimes. How did I find it was AI art? Firstly, I know by heart how the Brazilian flag is supposed to look like. It has a strip in the middle of the blue circle with "Ordem e progresso" (Order and progress in Portuguese) written on it. On the pictures shown at the concert, the text was illegible. In another picture, the flag of Argentina, which was supposed to have two light blue stripes, a white one between them, and a sun in the middle, has a white jack with another sun, possibly a result of blending it with the flag of Uruguay in the same picture. The last picture had a blend of the Brazilian and Argentinian flag in a very shadowy shade. In two similar flags. Along with a seemingly pure Brazilian flag on the other side. I was shocked. I would never expect a regional music presentation use AI art. So far, this is the only thing I hated about the concert. This is what being a vexillology nerd does to you.

TBH Redbubble can not be expected to stop art theft however they should be able to give information to law enforcement when a legal case is opened.

Really like this new type of video can't wait to see the future ones

YOOOO I LOVE THE NEW SPRITE!! The shading is immaculate!

Ya, none of that is any real reassurance! Those major studios and game companies are still going to use it, without admitting it, and so are plenty of independent developers.. Sadly there's nothing that can be done, and shaming people for using it will only work so long before people start telling the movement to 'fk off' for harassing people over it.

*"Forbidden Banana tasty, Volume 2."* Why did this make me laugh

The 'ban' from game companies is likely temporary until they can be sure of the limits on how much use of AI is too much to still consistently secure a copyright. It is a massive time and cost saving tool for these companies and you can bet they're basically just being careful while the waters are turbulent. Someone will make a game with a decent amount of AI use in development but do just enough to secure a full copyright, and then the floodgates will start opening again. At least though this means that there will always be need for human artists at some point in the process.

I feel like if ai art is being banned everywhere ai music/singers should too

i really liked this format! please do more like this. it was pleasent to listen to while i worked too

They cannot ban AI art in videogames. The copyright law allows AI art for as long as the parts done with AI are documented clearly. They can protect the rights over the overall piece, but not over the fragments used to put it together. It's like a collage. You can copyright a collage, but not the pieces used to make it.

We need to support companies that choose not use A.I.

Yes, please. I would like to receive art news honestly since I have not seen much of content like this. If you are ok with it, of course, I would like to see more news in the future. And as for the topic of AI art, I am very frustrated at Deviant art for allowing AI art to be posted there and I am very discouraged as an emergin artist. I can't compete with the quality and speed of AI "artworks". I hope things will get better for actual human artists with time, but currently it's getting just worse.

an opinion on the AI-enhanced live-action anime scene I feel as if you were way too harsh on it; it seems more like an experiment than anything else; it's goofy, it's silly, and it's literally anime rock paper scissors. The criticism it got from you seems more deeply rooted against AI art in general than the project itself. AI art is bad and all, but the project and experimenting that went into that piece were genuinely cool, and they went through a lot of effort to accomplish it. (around 9:40 - 10:30)

This art news format is really informative and engaging, would love to see regular videos of this kind

Shouldn't not consenting to one's art to be used to train AI be the default setting for any art submitted to relevant platforms?

I'm very happy to hear the legal updates on AI "art". I'm an artist myself and the rapid rise of the technology and especially the rampant misuse of the technology had me pretty worried about any future projects and my job. I'm glad to hear that there's more regulations around AI image generators and more protections for artists. I'm also glad to hear that adobes AI image generators are only trained on their own stock images, since I'm only allowed to use Adobe software at my work recently. When I first heard that adobe was developing AI image generators, i was under the impression that using adobe software would automatically put your works on a list for the Ai to use as training material. Very relieved that's not the case. Especially with how artists (and musicians) are often expected to work for free or barely any compensation at all.

The problem with those lawsuits for AI is that the companies in question only need to win on the question 'is it transformative' strongly enough that the rest doesnt matter. They could definately win that arguement. The process of creating fair uses cannot itself be illegal if the result is legal in this defense.

Tools like Glaze sound good, but ultimately the open source AI community is starting to outpace the larger players so regulation isn't going to put the genie back in the bottle. It's going to be an ongoing arms race. Plus I don't understand how do you actually prove that art was made by AI.

As a Concept Artist working in the videogame industry, it's a huge relief. I was fearing for my job ever since Ai art started getting popular. Thank you so much for this video. So many encouraging informations in one place !

Perfect. The way AI generated images was introduced was absolutely horrendous and the damage it's already done is irreparable. Glad to see it's gotten a huge smackdown.

I care about the technology of the internet and all but I also care about the users including artists. Hopefully we can find a harmony between AI and human artists one day.

Adobe FireFly is not ethical. many of the people that sold their stock images there did not consent to have their photo's taken. and alegedly the Stable diffusion Set got used too.

You're genuinly my favourite Art commentary channel. You try to look out for the members of the art community and speak on topics in a super gentle manner. Could you do a video about the current 'support a ___ y/o artist?' trend going around? It started as a artist support artist trend but devolved into artists lying about their age, making themselves way younger than they are and making the members of the Community THEY'RE apart of, feel inferior just because they feel like their art isn't impressive for their age and need that clout (age ≠ art skills) Theres even people bragging about intentionally lying bcuz they love making people seethe and depressed, not showing an ounce of empathy. Its super sad to see the art community become this toxic. I can even link some videos and ig accounts that lie or admit to lying about it if it helps. Thanks!

This is a great video post and commentary on AI art and the art communities, laws, etc. Though I wonder how feasible this will be in the long run. Ie, how will the restriction/etc. of AI art be verified? I'm also curious... what happens if an artist who doesn't use AI... gets flagged as such?

Loved this video and I hope you continue doing them! It's nice to be able to catch up on art news in one easy place.

Your new sprite is seriously so pretty!!

LOVE THE NEW SPRITES!

AI isn't all bad. While yes, AI removes the intention of the person creating it. It still takes effort to tune it to your liking, and isn't just putting a prompt. That takes creative thought. Myself being close to understanding computer science and techology like AI, shows myself that most artists like yourself are really withdrawn from how AI really functions. With any tool, there's an abuse of it. We gave up the right long ago to having constraints on technology, now using it everyday. You yourself, use it to make digitial art. With these luxuries like being able to draw on a machine comes consequence, and everybody has understand we choose to live in a world where AI exists. You can't be selective and just say AI's the bad guy! Not us! I'd compare AI to collage art, where its arranging a bunch of hundreds of sources to create relativity to the prompt you generate. Except AI art isn't collage art. Its much different, and any good model "interpolates" so that no 1 output is the same. The problem lies where it samples too much from one source. And while I'm sure it will be improved, and I do think anything like AI being regulated is good. If AI art is targeted for specific praticles, then that begs the question whether artists should be looked into for similiarity's. Like how most artwork is derivative nowadays, what is too derivative and what is just modern art? Some excuse that for being "no originality exists" But as you said, its getting better at making imagery that is visually refined. Its okay if you think AI art is not good, but its not right to demonize the people using it. As I've used it, not for profit. This feels more of a battle between whether software engineers or artists will come out on top. Software enginers are given no credit and are mistreated as shown with how you artists are diminishing their efforts whilst they are making robust technocialities that are supposed to open new possiblities. The same people who make all the programs you use on a daily basis but you don't give them a second thought when its their time to create something ambitious with AI models. These developers make AI better so that you have the possiblity to use it. I'm against reselling AI art, but if its free or is used in a both resourceful and creative way, what's the issue? I am sympathic towards artists losing their jobs, but when one door closes and other one opens. We shouldn't be treating this like the "endangerment of artists". If artists embraced AI then maybe they would get the benifits from it. This seems very narrow-minded and paranonia-ridden. AI can never replace the human element of art, it can can only simulate it to percision.

I'm working on figuring out my career in college. I was going for an artist that specializes in drawing biology like plants and animals. But ai art is kinda killing my drive to take that rough.

Woah I love your updated persona and layout

I hope AI in the professional industry is outright banned. For good. No AI should be allowed in a professional setting. It's not fair to young artists trying to get their foot in the door, and it's not fair to artists already in the industry when production is already far too fast to be healthy. If a human is not making a piece of entertainment or translation, then that work practice should. Be. _BANNED._ This is not going to be a tool to help the little guy, this will CRUSH the little guy.

thanks for taking the time and effort to gather all the this art related news, I will definitely be around for this kind of content for sure =D

holys hit the hair shading on ur new sprites is so pretty

Would be cool if that Anti-AI tool was called Connor.

My second journal ever was from redbubble (I wanted a DID journal and couldn't find one elsewhere) it was 23$ (yeesh) and broke within a few days. But between sunk cost fallacy and the fact that journals aren't really replacable, I used it until full with a few pages only halfway in and the binder tearing. Wasn't remotly worth it. Loved the next journal I got, which was more neurodiversity in general instead of just DID.

If you don't like the art, you don't have to buy it. Banning a tool just because some people have a differing opinion or skills is retarded, especially if one is capable of making a living off of it's usage. It's an advancement, much like photography was, and just as difficult to effeciently use as doing so by hand. I've spent hours trying to generate something I'm satisfied with using prompts like paint on a canvas. It's turning a type of programming into an art form that results in the possibility of masterpieces that relies on your imagination just as conventional art to create. As to Redbubble, unfortunately, you are hosting your pieces on a site whom determines it's own policies and procedures in order to make a profit. If you have issues with the site in question, the only way to circumvent such is to design your own platform you can host your artwork for sale. It's the same for any seller platform. The one's whom host your listings for others to buy are the same one's who determine fee structures because they are the ones whom funnel your traffic for you. They are in it for profit just as most sellers are. I have to agree though, fuck Redbubble.

There is people who can't literally draw... I was an artist all my life, and now, mid 30's, my hands started to shake, so i can't draw anymore... I LOVE to share stories in the comic medium, but now that i can't draw, it is imposible for me to do what i love... AIs helped me keep doing it, but now it find that the people who shared my interests and were my friends, feel awfully bad around someone who use AIs to do his work... I wanted to keep being the friendly artist i always was, but sadly, now i can't draw anymore, it seems i am not part of this family anymore... It pains me so hard... I feel like i was a runner, running al day with my friends, but now i lost my legs i can't run anymore... So i use some robotic limbs... Now my friends thinks i'm cheating and don't want to run with me anymore... You know what I mean?? Is like... Idk man, is weird, is like you can keep doing what you love, but you're all alone now, and then is not enjoyable anymore... In fact people keep treating you as a cheater, telling things like "you're not an artist because you can't draw". It's really painful and hard to live like this... I can't find happyness in what i do..

whilst the ai art being banned in video games sounds hopeful, it's a shame that Blizzard has created their own AI tool that artists have to work with, the president of the company has also said they are looking into developing level design AI and code generators :(

This was nice. Big win with Paizo…we all just switched to using their products because they are a better company than wizards of the coast. Nice to see Trent come up too :)

Thus like your other style is very well done and comprehensive with solid explanations on the good and bad. More of this or your other stuff as you go depending on which is relevant and fits what you want at the time is great!

Banning AI art in games is frankly asinine and anybody that thinks otherwise fails to understand that a videogame is a computerized abstraction of art to begin with. Do you think the artists hand paint every shadow in a video game? Fuck no, they use algorithms. How is it any different from using an algorithm to generate a minecraft world? It's "Programmer's art".

I have never heard of your channel until this video, which was on my homepage recommendations. I mostly follow news channels here, but I'm also an artist. So, I absolutely love this format combining news and art. Definitely keep it up!

Extremely rare Video Game companies W

I like it. A compilation of current events. The format feels familiar to me since I've been watching tech-focused, condensed news videos of late, mostly due to trying to keep up with the never-ending developments in AI. So, it's nice to receive such a video from an artist's perspective. I'd heard of some of these, but not the others. Thanks for giving us the big picture!

Some of these policies while they sound good will hurt actual artists For instance r/art banned AI art, but they often targgeted digital artists who look like they used it but didnt. It also prevents artists who use AI art as a tool, like with photobashing from posting their art. Also, I think corridor crew anime is a good thing. While i dislike their marketing of "democratizing art" they still put alot of time and creativity into their work. Unlike most AI "artists" who can finish a project at the click of a button, they spent months doing this and made several techical advancements. Hate them or not you gotta admit its impressive and not like most of what ai artists do. I wish my uncle was like them. My uncle is addicted to AI art and spends his free time generating images and shit articles with chat gpt. If he actually worked on a project with collaboration with AI instead of expecting it to do everything for him id be impressed.

I've always wanted to break into the film industry but my ideas tend to be the kind that would take upwards 100 million dollars to make, and its not such a simple thing for me to just have different ideas that would be easier to make. I've tried writing but I typically can't make it through anything I'm writing. There are usually gaping holes in my ideas and I tend to write slowly anyway and get writers block easily, so a program that would allow me to quickly iterate on ideas could be helpful and if AI imagery gets good enough I might just be able to put my visions out there directly. I don't expect anyone to like any of my ideas but just seeing what I had in my head on screen can be its own source of satisfaction. What I'm trying to say is that the existence of AI generation is the closest I've come to making art. I can't say that I've been entirely satisfied with the results I've gotten. If you have a specific idea rather than just a general idea, getting the ai to do it without adding something extra, unexpected, or just plain entirely different from what you asked is like pulling teeth. There's also a ton of things I want to do that I just plain can't because they involve violence or suggestive content (pretty much the two most basic draws to art). One certainly won't be making the next game of thrones on any of the currently available ai services. I've never posted anything I've made anywhere because I too don't see it as real art and I haven't given up on making real art yet. I'm sorry that real artists have been negatively effected by the existence of ai art generation. It seems like humanity can't have anything nice without abusing it. I've never been a big supporter of copyright, mostly because the vast majority of my perception of copyright has been shaped by watching large companies bullying small independent creators making fan content like amv's, fan animations, and fan games and other such things. I really started finding the concept of copyright ridiculous when people were saying that "The Hunger Games" were a ripoff of "Battle Royale." I'm probably alone in thinking this and probably for a good reason but an idea that is in your head is in your head regardless of where it came from. I don't know if Suzanne Collins got her ideas from watching "Battle Royale" or James Cameron got his ideas for Avatar from watching "Fern Gully" and playing "Warcraft" and I don't really care. To me, what they made is a perfectly valid use of the ideas that were in their heads regardless of where they got them from, they're not direct copies of any particular thing and they still took a significant amount of creativity to put together. That being said, I've heard about many of the abuses that have happened to real artists and that absolutely pisses me off. For the most part I'm like so what if your work is in some AI database, that's how the machine works, it shouldn't hurt so long as no abuses the ability to make such imagery but of course someone somewhere just simply has to. There was an artist doing a livestream and someone in the audience took a screenshot of the WIP, had an AI finish it, and then claimed the original artist was copying his work... I'd love it for non artists to have the ability to communicate ideas visually but if this is how they're going to act when they have that ability then I guess non-artists just don't deserve it. And yes I do find attempts to copyright ai prompts to be a completely ridiculous endeavor and I just know that if I had what I sometimes think I want and copyright were either abolished or significantly weakened (patent protection as well) the first thing that would happen is that every company under the sun would immediately begin gathering popular ideas spamming half baked copies of everything everywhere without a single cent going to any actual creators. I believe there is a good way to use this technology but it requires that the people who use it conduct themselves with integrity and respect for one another, most especially respect for the artists that the AI relies on to function. Just like having access to sharp objects (as most people do) and not hurting people with them (as most people don't). If this cannot be expected of ai users then I'm afraid I can't support this technology even though I want to. I'm not exactly switching sides but I think going forward I'm just going sit on the sidelines of this debate, see what happens and accept whatever outcome we get.

Love this format, art news from someone that KNOW what they are saying is definily something that we need nowdays. Keep it up!

Man I was expecting some salt over AI art, but this was the dead sea. Thanks it put a smile on my face.

I think AI art just isn’t art. As it wasn’t created with a conscious creative mind. And therefore it shouldn’t get any copyright protection because there is no person that owns it. And the AI software that made, it doesn’t understand the concept of what it just made

We hoped for robots replacing jobs we don't want to do.. Making room for stuff like hobbies... Now these hobbies are being replaced.. I feel like we can't even have fun in the job industry anymore-

AI art has already been used in commercial indie games. All of the character profiles are done with AI art. That being said, the art in the game outside of the character profiles are human made art. The dev even credited AI.

I love that you removed the vertical strips in the video. It so clean and crisp! I also like your character upfront in the video more too.

You have no control whatsoever on sales; release, length, priceings, etc. You cannot opt out of them either. By the time everything is said and done. The 'sale's' strip you of almost half of your earnings (depending on what you were selling) and half of the stuff...well you are basically making the site free money for the smaller stuff like stickers and magnets.
