there is no bad press

​@0bloodshot0 Not even all those death threats they got from the entire country of Spain. 😅

To be fair, this is exactly the sort of stuff you would expect to see in either Japan or Vietnam lol.

I never understood how people could give death threat's over food... I get that you can cringe and shun em over heresy, but to actually threaten someone over it is mind-blowing.

He was like a little kid and I’m all for it. Seeing him have so much fun is great.

I kept expecting him to look heavenward and scream, "It's alive. IT'S ALIIIIVE!" 🤣

the absolute irony of wearing a Keith Haring sweatshirt in a video that features AI generated "art" is enough to choke on

I'm glad I'm not the only one in that. It really makes me sad an company like sorted does something like that.

Couldn't agree more

Makes me so sad

It’s gross and supports the theft of intellectual property

For real! If this was a fries battle Mike would have had it regardless of what Jamie made. Shoestring fries are the best kind 100%!

Yeah, it seems much improved recently, although there's still an odd mistake (today's was: plumb!) here and there, the quality has improved compared with a few months back

@@ChrisWar666 A few years ago I had to comment on a few videos to point out that the captions were complete gibberish, because it was preventing me from watching the video - not even just typos or misheard words, more than once I saw videos that were genuinely incomprehensible start to finish and it was obvious the captioner couldn't understand them and no quality check had been done. The Sorted team have always been quick to fix things that have been pointed out, but man videos coming out this good right off the jump is so refreshing.

@@rowan9705 yeah, I have a feeling that a lot of subtitles on the web are just speech-to-text and no-one double checking them afterwards. I'm not sure if that was a problem here at sorted or not, but if someone used that as a base and did a quick listen.... Bleh. Anyway, very happy that an (99.99%? 😜) perfect video came out 😁

@@ChrisWar666 I emailed them about 2 months ago to ask if they could consider adding proper subtitles for accessibility, not just KZfaq autogenerated ones, they replied saying they’d look into it and just a couple weeks later, all their new videos had them! Was astonished and very proud 💖 To be clear, it’s not gonna be an actual human at sorted manually doing it, hence still some small mistakes, but by adding the subtitles themselves, they have control over which software creates them and are using a much better one than KZfaq autogenerate

@@bluerox24 I think someone is checking them now, coz the last few videos have been 99% right! Great work!

😂 exactly this haha!

pretty clearly yes :/

Seconded, that was really offputting. :/

@@Jenqh Bite me

They look like the rotten crabby patty 😭

@@Jenqh AI "art" is a offence to art and should not be used for any reason.

Agreed. No need for drawn stuff either. Just camera footage of the people describing their dishes is plenty, in my opinion.

Glad someone said it

I agree.

For sureeeeee

100% Agreed. Love Sorted, but these picture just look ominous and unappetizing. I'm sure y'all can hire an artist to do these, or just leave them out!

Pretty sure it was AI

noticed that too. I really really hope it doesn't continue. As it looks unsettling and offputting. like everything was molten plastic

Definitely AI, no doubt about it. Similar visual style to a lot of other stuff out there, and bears little resemblance to what was described.

Immediately thought it looked like AI. Hoping they either hire an artist to do illustrations or just leave them out :(

Say you have an idea or ingredients for a dish but are just bad at plating or not very artistic in that way although you can cook good food. You can use AI to generate plating examples before you start cooking. Perhaps you have too much brown or just all monotone colors and didn't realize it so you add more colors before its too late. This is a KZfaq video but imagine a chef in a small restaurant making a menu. They're probably not going to hire someone just for food presentation, so a tool like this can be very cheap and useful.

Honestly yeah. Especially with how much the guys have always seemed focused on both general sustainability and building a community. As creators themselves you''d have hoped they were aware of the damaging aspects of AI art and the way it's very much stealing from other artists on other to function at all. Granted that we don't know what AI they're using and how it was trained but considering there are very few, if any, visual generating AI's that are trained completely in house with the sheer scale of imagery needed... It certainly seems like a consideration and conversation that SORTED should be able to have since we've seen them rise up to similar challenges in the past.

People who are furious at Sorted for, purportedly, using AI art are really missing the forest for the trees. Instead of obsessing over symptoms, it'll be more worthwhile to direct our attention to the root cause - the lack of preparedness and adaptability in a changing technological and social landscape. Going around villifying individuals who are using Generative AI on a small scale to make their lives a little more convenient is a futile exercise. It's like how some "urbanists" love to blame car drivers for city sprawl and bad public transport instead of working to foster political will against irresponsible city planning. Or, instead of getting involved into their local politics, working to spread awareness and galvanizing civil society to put pressure on governments to institute more welfare measures and improve social security, people will just sit at their keyboards, push all the blame for socio-economic inequities and weak economic mobility onto private property and personal wealth and call for communist revolutions with zero appreciation for the fact that oppressive and authoritarian structures are indispensable if a communist society is to last. What's happening in all these instances is akin to trying to fight an epidemic by killing the infected instead of attacking the infection. AI is not the enemy. This is not the first time that technological progress threatens to be disruptive and creates the potential for economic upheaval. This time is not unlike when we built machines to till the soil, draw water, grind our grain, move heavy loads, do our calculations and even, build themselves. Each technological leap has brought about big changes in labour and income patterns and came fraught with employment anxieties for many people. And yet, once we got over the tough transition phase and reached a new equilibrium, technological growth, has more often than not, made an improved standard of living accessible to more people than before. What we need to understand, as people who hold the power to shape the society we will live in tomorrow, is that technological progress is desirable. However, we need to make the transition phase as painless as possible. The solution is not, therefore, to hunt down every single person who relies on AI for some tasks instead of paying a human to do it, and name and shame them. Instead, what we need to do is to create political awareness about the social and economic consequences of a rapid and reckless transition and lobby our governments to provide adequate safety nets for people who may become displaced during this new phase of automation and to institute measures to help them remain viable in a shifting market. Also, what we need is to bind the tech industry within ethical frameworks to ensure that their products and procedures do not threaten the health, safety and fundamental rights of people. We need to regulate tech the way we have done with medicine, manufacturing, transport networks and other industries. There needs to legislation and administrative infrastructure to ensure that products of the tech industry must meet certain ethical standards and prove themselves to not be in violation of human interests, before they are allowed to enter the market. These are the areas where the discourse needs to be focused on, both in politics and in civil society, instead of wasting time with self-righteous witch-hunts against individuals exploring the possibilities of a new technology. A lot of academic work is also needed across multiple disciplines like law, economics, sociology, political science, computer science as well as philosophy to help us build a knowledge base that can inform both responsible public opinion as well as effective legislation. If you really want to do something, think about how you can contribute as a citizen as well as a student/professional to building responsive and resilient systems that can address the social, economic or environmental challenges of AI integration. Moral grandstanding achieves nothing and often does more harm than good. Even if you or I made a personal choice to steer clear generative AI, it wouldn't make much difference. It's about as effective in the grand scheme of things as giving up meat or plastic straws is for global warming. On top of that, if we also went about bullying people for not going vegan or choosing a single use plastic over a more sustainable alternative or asking AI to draw them a picture, then we are the ones who are being selfish and inconsiderate.

Unquestioningly they are AI art.

Why does it matter?

Agreed, I hope the sorted team takes notice of this. I would love to see them support actual artists for illustrations of the like.

big agree

It looks awful, and if they don't want to do it themselves anymore, they could hire an artist :/

About the copyright issue, it's still a grey area where legal precedent is lacking. Currently, you can argue convincingly that generative AI art should be classified as a derivative work and thus, if produced without first obtaining a licence from the copyright holder, it should be deemed content theft. But, you can make an equally strong case for generative AI to be considered an original work that has, simply, been influenced by older works it used as reference materials. Influences, archetypes and design ideas can't be copyrighted. Copyright protects the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Referencing a copyrighted work, alone, shouldn't necessarily be considered infringement.

Why are you talking to them here? So cheap and lazy. Should've send them a letter by post, instead.

Well said, Also if they dont have the budget to pay artists a fair wage- the lack of the image is just fine too.....

No one is going to unsubscribe because of AI images 😂😂

I must have missed that, where's the AI art?

100% agree

If you don't want to pay a professional cook to hand chop your veggies, pound your curry pastes, whip your sauces or expertly cook your fish, don't include those recipes in your daily meals. Or better yet, hire a cook and get rid of your food processors, blenders, modern ovens, temperature probes and sous vide set-ups.
