The ai’s ability to copy different art styles & create these almost elaborate photos in no time is a pretty crazy testament to how powerful and advanced our technology is today. especially with AI’s we’ve been advancing so fast over 20 years

Charlie asks “How is an AI supposed to interpret beauty?” Then immediately falls in love when he sees the portrait.

"How is the AI suppose to interpret beauty?....WOW" honestly made me laugh way more than I should've 8:54

When people say this is scary they obviously have not seen the ai that makes perfect greentext stories. The way it can imitate random 4chan users and write so many bangers is more terrifying than the art influx

It’s honestly really scary to see that AI generated art may take over human art, which would be quite heartbreaking for all those great artists out there.

AI Art starts sweating when Charlie gets online

I don’t know how you’re having such bad luck with this. I’ve literally tricked people into thinking I’m on vacation at a summer mansion because the images were so realistic only to reveal they were actually AI generated. I also noticed it’s really good at making orangutans for some reason

The problem isn't going to be whether the value of AI art replaces the value of handmade art; the problem is going to be the massive amount of jobs and opportunities for artists that will be cut in the name of cheap, easy profit. So much art in our environment is already designed to be made as fast and cheap as possible, and this will likely replace those artists who currently do that. And it isn't like someone's entire artistic career would be making widgets for websites, but in a field that is already so competitive, entry level positions and the amount of those positions make a big difference. These advancements have the potential to wipe out a very considerable portion of artist employment opportunities and breed even tighter competition. It's true that AI will never replace human art, but I fear that it will still create a lot of hardship for artists trying to make a living and advance their careers. As an art major, I sympathize with the worried people in the comments. It's a concerning and rapid development. EDIT: this is from my reply to a comment below: "Sounds like it's your fault for becoming an art major." This isn't for debate purposes; I just thought this elaboration on my point was important. When I became an art major, this wasn't even a discussion yet. Besides, it's the systematic fault of the economy for prioritizing profit over people's livelihoods. Yes it's an unfortunate reality of progress, but the issue is the system that allows this to happen (with barely any safety nets, at least in the US) to people who's lives are potentially being uprooted than "shouldn't have been an art major lol." It's already a woefully underpaid and exploited field (just look at the crunch environment in the video game industry, for example), but like this, that's not the fault of the artists. Just like it's not the fault of social workers that they're paid only 30K a year despite the emotional strain of the job. Or Amazon employees who get treated like dogs. Or teachers who can't afford to raise their own kids. Walmart cashiers laid off by the thousands to be replaced with self-checkout. Disabled people who in many cases are lucky to be hired at all. Or the countless others struck by misfortune with only a grueling, often demeaning way up-if they're lucky. People like to scoff and point fingers as if art is some blow-off hobby career that only ego-inflated rich kids go after, but it's an extremely broad and necessary field of the economy. The unfortunate reality is that, just like any other career in America that isn't basically the 1%, the future is coming. It may not come for *everyone,* it may not come in the next 10 years-but be it automation, economic collapse, ever-increasing inflation while wages stagnate, rising student debt and subsequent selectivism when it comes to degree type, or all of those at once-the problem is much larger than any one field of study. The problem is that this country is basically run on making things difficult for the financially disadvantaged, and that this goes hand in hand with the bootstraps fallacy and victim blaming sewn into our culture. The impending plight of thousands of people with the rapid development of AI-*any* AI, not just art-is just one example of the countless ways late-stage capitalism is tightening a noose around the vanishing middle class on down, while admonishing those suffering with "well this is your fault, actually" that only furthers the agenda of those in power and keeps the crab bucket mentality going. Crabs do not naturally occur in buckets; some higher power trapped them there. If your constant answer to the problem of technological advancement is "find another job," eventually there aren't going to be enough jobs. The poverty line is already rising, and it's only going to get worse the more automation stampedes through every corner of the job market. It's going to hurt everyone sooner or later unless something is done, but people are too married to the idea of American individualism and capitalism creating opportunity to see it. The objective of capitalism is to create profit. As streamlined, rapid, and efficient as possible. And sadly, humans are paling in comparison to the efficiency of machines. The system doesn't give a shit about its citizens; we're living in a ticking time bomb of economic collapse that those in power-politicians, corporations, and billionaires alike, have no interest in fixing. Because that would mean lowering their own criminally godlike statuses. The nature of a successful business is rapid, exponential growth. That growth will not stop for you, me, or anyone beneath those who control it. Fast or slow, it's coming for everyone. Unless, as I said, something changes. I wouldn't even normally reply, given the amount of trolls on this site. But it made me realize there was to much that I left unsaid initially. And yeah, this isn't even scratching the surface of the legal and data mining complications with AI, but I've already written a small novel. Any way you shake it, it's a can of worms.

I’m a college student studying art, design, and animation and our professor brought up the topic of AI generated art recently, and how it could potentially put concept artists out of a job. we are all very much pissed off and scared :(

what scary is that its already started: someone won a digital art contest by submitting AI generated art.

I find that this art bot is actually on the lower end of the technical spectrum which is really terrifying, midjourney bot is VERY technically advanced in comparison

Ai is cool and interesting but also terrifying cause you know the second it's even somewhat viable corporations will jump at the chance to fire human artists for ai, you don't have to pay ai, ai won't complain about it's human rights being violated and it being treated like shit, ai won't fight back or try to have any creative control, ect.

"How is an AI supposed to interpret beauty?" moments later *"Wow"*

As a young artist who believed i could make some profit through my art, this crushed all my hopes. This WILL take over art and its terrifying to me.

I've already started seeing "artists" selling works that were, at least for me, very much AI-generated and them swearing it isn't. But an artist will always have their own unique patterns or "moodset" in their art that's hard to avoid. AI art's patterns have noticeable discrepancies that wouldn't be simple artist mistakes or decisions.

"Some things should never be invented" AI art is one of them

Ai art has such a hard time with faces, i've never seen anything that resembles a normal human head yet

Honestly, Im very terrified and amazed at the same time seeing AI art.

This is how Skynet finally gets to us. Not with rocket propelled fighters or T-1000 exoskeletons with laser guns, but with AI generated art.

8:51 charlie: How is an ai supposed to interpret beauty? Also charlie: WOW!

“How is an ai supposed to interpret beauty” …wow

As an artist myself, I find this to be an amazing reference maker for my own stuff

10:40 the background lighting with the yellow fade is totally Kinkade. we see it in almost all of his paintings.

Tony went from *Hawk* to *Hawking* real fucking quick 10:12 I want a clean copy of that picture so fucking badly.

I like AI art because it can be used as an inspiration tool. edit: The reason its not going to replace artists is the same with AI and radiologists, you still need an expert to conduct the work otherwise there can be errors. If we leave AI do its own thing the data will get more and more "corroded"

5:43 you can see his face when he realizes the abomination on the screen 😭 I love how he didn’t say anything at first you can just tell how he felt by his face 😂

The picture at 11:00 looks more fitting for a Funeral Doom album than power metal imo.

9:03, Damn wtf?? xQc if he was actually a gigachad

As an artist I can confirm this makes me regret my career choices and hobbies. To realize how easily replaceable your are, and by a machine at that, makes you feel pretty unimportant

“How is an AI suppose to interpret beauty? Like ho-“ Image loads. “Wow”

So I'm assuming that these AIs just take existing art with related tags from a massive image search and mashes it all together. Which makes it even sadder because its not just phasing out real artists, it's doing it using their own works right?

Back then we thought artists will be the last one to be prevail against AI advancement yet they're the first one to be somewhat replaced (outside of manufacturing jobs)

7:32 Yeah sure, it has big biceps.... but we ain't gonna talk about how it has five of them??

as someone who is studying art, seeing AI artists claim they are not stealing art, and telling artists to "get over it", while also trying to claim prompts as their intellectual properties because "it takes skill to write good prompts" is very sad and scary

This is so scary to me as someone who is passionate about a lot of forms of art… there is nothing more human than art to me… AI art is like the exact opposite of what art is at its core.

2:48 sometimes these AI's remove branded characters from their data set so you can't make exact duplicates of copyrighted materials

A lot of people here are comparing "AI art replacing human art" to "cars replacing horses". To be honest, I don't think that comparison works for a couple of reasons. Number one, transportation was a practical need and art is a creative endeavour. When photography came into the scene, it did not kill art. It changed it for sure - but artists quickly adapted and explored other aspects of the field via cubism, fauvism, pop art, etc. Art is not finite. Art shifts and adapts to changes in society. Art has always done this. It's flexible because, unlike transporation, art is subjective and extremely personal. The second reason the comparison doesn't work is because digital art is only a small slice of what art is and *will be*. It doesn't take into account traditional art, personal comics that people make, personal storytelling via animations and so on. So, while I believe that AI art will take a lot of *digital* jobs from artists, in the long run, I believe artists will still be able to find a way to adapt and make a living. Nowadays, especially with social media, it would seem to me that most artists are able to build a following because of their unique style and story. It's their personality, background and their *processes* that attracts people. This is true for people like Kim Gung Gi, Stan Prokopenko and even smaller artists that do fan art and have a small but loyal following. Just look at TikTok and Instagram Reels. People love seeing the process of creating art and not just the art itself. People love following the artist. Not to mention there are a lot of popular artists that tell personal stories via comics, animations, streams and tutorials. A more fitting comparison would actually be the use of A.I. in chess. In chess, the computer can outplay Magnus Carlsen by being able to calculate a lot of positions and variations in a short period of time and find the best move each and every turn. But, given the choice, will chess fans watch Stockfish vs AlphaZero (two chess programs) over Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi in a world championship match? No, of course not. Because chess isn't a practical endeavour to find the best robot that can play the chess. It's about pushing the human brain and seeing who among us is the best, the most creative, the most daring, the most prepared and the most calm under pressure. Just as art is about pushing the creative mind and pushing human expression to its limits. A.I. cannot tell personal stories the same way humans do. It cannot connect to humans as deeply as other humans can. A.I. can reproduce the art, but it cannot produce an artist.

This A.I art honestly terrifies me as a semi decent artist.

as an artist, i’m genuinely worried companies are gonna start to rely on AI rather than giving actual artists jobs

This AI art thing makes me worried for what little future of a career I had in art. Honestly looking to go back to school to try and get a degree in something that I could actually have a career in, but it’s starting to become nearly impossible

The lion at 6:16 goes incredibly hard

12:12 Batman had a roofie that's the only reason he was kissing the Joker.

As an artist, we're only doomed if the ai can make very specific furry art. We still got a chance to get that paper, bois.

Ik this is kinda scary for people who make art for a living . But for me personally it can never replace the art that I made myself. However good the art made by the AI be it still wont be as special as the art that I put all my love and effort into , it can never give the feeling of completing a piece that I have been working for a long time. Its special because "I" made it. Edit- No I don't do art for a living it's just a hobby.

As an artist I’m really feeling like that whole “Dey took our jahbs! ” South Park episode rn

4:13 Optimus Prime + Iron Giant = _____

I work a blue collar job, and I was told for years that my job would be lost to automation, but seeing how the conversation has shifted as AI as advanced much faster than robotics is interesting to say the least.

11:23 Neuron Activation

9:10 the funniest thing I've ever seen on this channel

9:45 The AI decided that "my dad" is just old Francisco Franco

I'm glad someone who knows how to write a prompt chimed in eventually. Some great ones near the end there

i don't think that things like this are going to get rid of artists, just like the invention of the synthesizer didn't get rid of musicians. Artists are just going to have to learn how to leverage these technologies (generate, tweak, composite ai generated art) in order to produce even higher quality samples, just like musicians leverage automated music in their production.

No matter what artwork that comes from a human is more valuable due to the fact that as hard as a human tries to replicate artwork, it will have its unique imperfections. Which makes each art piece rarer

As a professional concept artist. Before AI, when given a task, I tend to just sketch out my ideas really quickly and polish it later once it's approved. Now, AI sometimes (very rarely) helps with the polishing stage. I think AI somewhat helps with amateur and or even non artists getting ideas across. But tbh 90% professional concept artists use 3D so much that it's hard for AI to take over imo. The 10% of them are super duper awesome artist that the AI is trying to copy. So... Yeah no worries if you know 3D

When ai is able to make ai that is when nearly everything will be able to be replaced

2:57 watching him delete “optimus prime” to write “Optimus prime” 0_o

Talentless individuals will definitely use AI to create art, claiming it as their own original piece.

5:50 that's not a happy face LMAOOOO

just 1.5 years later, and we have full videos that look even more realistic...

2:40 it's showing him the AI's OC

Can't wait in 10 Years when porn companies start using AI generated art to make their thumbnails

5:00 funkytown hawk

4:45 truly, the future of art.

8:25 I think that was the same criticisms that art schools gave to Hitler. So let’s pray these AI artist get into art school.

5:08 Tony became an anime character in Air Gear Anime.

Rip artists, I imagine it’s only a decade or two before a computer can spit out an entire 12 episode series in a day based on a single sentence prompt with six descriptors

It can really pull off some Francisco Goya paintings, I was astonished at how true to his style some of the shit it made was.

"Anything organic, it is dropping ass on anything with a pulse" I feel you, AI

5:55 killed me

8:50: "How is an AI supposed to determine beauty?" 8:55: O_O

Given how fast it generates these images this is quite impressive. The longer you give AI to work, the better the result.

5:28 I see this AI can do "dream" writing

I think it is both always good to have skepticism, while also finding a middleground where creativity and AI generated art can coexist.

I am a classical artist. I use paint and pencils and other physical mediums to create art. I don't really have a problem with ai art though. In fact, I recently started making it myself! It's a fun hobby and it's cool to see how the ai interprets and makes my prompts come together. It's really fun to play around with. I don't really feel threatened by it, and I actually use what they come up with as references and inspiration for my own art. I think it's really cool as long as it isn't being submitted in competitions or museums as "real art"

8:48 Charlie: "how is an AI supposed to interpret beauty" *AI interprets beauty* "WOW!" 🤣🤣😂

The spongebod descriptor literally just painted the background in a deep yellow 10:30 I also feel like maybe it just takes a larger percentage of focus on what is put in the prompt first

6:33 That looks like a manga panel out of Baki.

This AI is more of a test of your descriptive writing skills if anything lmao, it's already been known that it takes actual work from actual artists and photobashes them to suit the descriptions. It still lacks character and messes up proportions though. But alas, artists are just constantly getting fucked oof, first the game and animations industry, NFTs, Clip Studio going subscription based, and now its AI

News on AI: Creative fields will be the least impacted in following years by AI AI Art: *generates an art of a Mr Krabs playing the tiniest violin in the world*

5:45 I am in tears, what did they do to my boy!? Also, in tears laughing at Charlie's shock and his attempt to hold in his laughter.

8:49 this is hilarious

4:39 dam bro that pose is so elegant that looks like a fine art masterpiece right there

Glad he told us that last one was blurred. I thought it was youtube censored.

I can see people using these prompts as a start to their art project. A base to work on top of

4:20 the first person I thought of was Jesus 😂😂😂

9:32 that kinda looks like the guy from the flash cd show

The steps option is the quality of the image. If you turn it down you will have the same images that come up but just less quality.

This is by far the craziest video of yours I've seen unironically

This will never fully replace human-made art. I consider this just another tool for artists to use to create. It is still driven by human input. AI can generate some interesting things but it's not as if it will always generate exactly what a human wants at whatever moment, since the creation of the art is dependent on how the AI interprets its prompt. Just like human artists.

Gotta love the commenters going "Art is useless/Get a real job 🤓 " acting as if the games they play don't have it lmfaooo. Hell even I think and know art isn't as valuable as lawyers and doctors for sure, but it is super hypocritical if you trash talk art yet play your games.

9:26 the pure shock in Charles face is hilarious

im glad he finally realized 3 word prompt isnt working and added more adjectives

One of the secrets to getting good AI art generation is always make multiple attempts. And make variations on something close. Nothing you see online is fully AI art. It’s a human and AI bouncing back and forth through many iterations until the human is satisfied.

nothing about hearing AI progress so much is making me feel hope for humanity

The trick with AI art generators is to make at least 10 of each attempt. If I really want a great pic, I'll generate 30 and delete 29.

This could be the ultimate thumbnail maker.

"How is A.I. supposed to interpret 'beauty?'" Also Charlie: "scary."

you know I thought creative tasks would be the last thing that an AI will master

i finally tried this out for serious actual dope pictures to use for covers for music and i was happy with all my results, i got alot of jhonen vasquez and tim burton art and im so happy i can get pictures with those styles because i LOVE that shit

i had cool landscape results with prompts like - night time , industrial , far away light , smoke stack , pipes , fire
