One thing about the AI house that I think subconsciously delights people is the front door: it's in the middle of the porch. Most houses have to have their door slightly to one side of the other because the front of the house is two rooms -- the living room and the dining room. But in really fancy old houses, you might have a long hallway running from the back to the front of the house (good for cross-breezes!) connecting rooms, so a front door in the middle makes sense. But in a little house like that, you might not have room for a hallway, even if the front would be too big for one big living room. So a symetrical little house with a perfectly centered door looks like something from a dream.

I've watched enough people march to the same beat to not see wanting to be different as a bad thing. And, I may add to that, people ARE individuals. Every human being IS different. Wishing to conform is the toxicity of culture contributing to the erasure of your individuality. And even if you feel it is ugly, then you've had an emotion. I feel no emotion with most symmety than boredom. Ugly is better than boring. Normalcy is fascism. Because the art we consume and how we consume it does say something about who we are and how we view the world. And art and culture will influence how we see the world.

Thank you. I am an artist myself.. and this image Gen AI will never really sit right with me. There’s no other medium in art who’s invention solely depends on eating up the creations of millions of other humans.. not to mention they did it without the consent of artists. I am sick and tired of people who push these images down our feed conveniently omitting the fact that it’s an AI generated image, fooling all of their audience into thinking it’s real. I am sick of these interior designers using it for “inspiration”.. when nothing like it will ever make sense.. because they cannot bend and break the rules of physics to create anything even close to in real life. And I am so sick of plenty of them pretending that they are the “artists” creating them and that AI is just a tool. It isn’t. Because a tool gives you control over your work. AI just gives you something pretty and relatively “complete” that then some of these people touch up at best.. but they think that’s the same as having control over an image and creating it from scratch. Prompt “engineering” (ugh they try so hard to make what they do sound complex) can be learned in under a day.. if not under an hour. I am sick of the lack of transparency around AI. They don’t disclose their work is AI, and when they do.. they don’t disclose how easy it is.. or how far from the real thing it will be.. or how much stolen work is being regurgitated without any credit to the real artists.

You raised a good point: conceptually, this kind of generative AI isn't doing anything that hasn't already been done for architectural renderings or just digital art in general. However, the fact that it can produce these results in seconds, for free or almost free, is troublesome for two reasons: 1. The speed allows people to generate or modify images on a whim, with no consideration for the quality of the output or the ethics or whether they should do it at all. Is it ethical to modify this image of my Airbnb listing to make the landscaping look a little nicer or fix the crooked siding? Where once upon a time you'd have time to contemplate this while finding and hiring an artist to do the work, and consider whether the artist might judge you for creating something that might be seen as deceptive, now gen AI is so fast and easy that you don't even have time to reflect: just click and go! It's the old Ian Malcolm "could vs should" thing at every turn. 2. The free-ness is only possible because gen AI stands on the backs of thousands of human creatives whose works have been stolen, uncompensated, as training datasets. In effect, when you use gen AI to create an image, you're actually asking a thousand faceless artists to create that image for you, then refusing to pay them, then claiming that technology has created something new and unique. If there were a mechanism in place to fairly compensate artists for their works used to train AI engines, we wouldn't have a problem. If AI had been prohibited from using copyrighted works, gen AI wouldn't exist in the first place and we also wouldn't have a problem. As it stands this is not a bell that can be un-rung. The technology is there and is getting better every day. The stolen training data is there and can't be returned. There's no way of restricting AI usage that is compatible with the First Amendment. Until we create a technological anti-AI solution that can auto-detect and flag AI products, we're defenseless. This is me being unhopeful.

It's the exact same thing all over again, except they're doing in a few decades what used to take over a century.

One more thing on the topic of Victorian houses. There are a lot of " explorer" channels that go into old "abandoned" houses. But those are usually on farmland and zoned so that if you buy the house, you have to also buy all that land. So they're often left to the elements. If we who love these houses get zoning laws changed to allow it, I'm sure many farm owners would gladly sell the houses instead of letting them fall apart. I'd like to see laws allowing that passed by all counties and states right now, when houses are so badly needed. It's usually a county thing.

I remember my first AI house heartbreak. It was a cozy boho bedroom with a lofted bed, filled with fairy lights, a suspended fireplace, and floor to ceiling windows revealing the viewer to be perched amidst a misty jungle canopy... RIP what never was😔

@Jetsetlemming Ай бұрын
2:00 I actually guessed this correctly and pretty confidently, based on something you can tell at a glance: the image on the left has no camera focus, so things in the far background are just as sharp as things in the middle, while in the image on the right even things as close to the center as the bush are blurred from being out of focus. Real life photos always have a focal point where things outside that distance blur, but that's something you really go out of your way to do in rendering (video games call it "depth of field". You know, that thing everyone always turns off and yet every game has? Yeah that) and I'd imagine it's a huge pain in the ass to try to apply after the fact to an image compared to it just being a natural consequence of how cameras (and eyeballs) work. (also the image on the left looks like it's half pulling from photos and half from paintings, which does not help it)

The way people would choose the Ai house vs the real house, shows how well this tecnology works. It enable us to create a more idilical world than what we live in, like if we could make it more perfect. But we sacrifice reality, with its measures and stuff like gravity for aesthetic. And I think it is really sad, that we as people prefer the aesthetic provided by something false, but it really make sense if you think how we use our internet persona in social media, where we sacrifice realness for the ilusion of a perfect life.

Something about this reminds me of the movie her. The architectural aesthetic in that movie feels warm and real but also fake and distant, which I don't think is a coincidence at all, given the movie's themes

This has become a hobby of mine: How fast can I recognize an AI image. answer: pretty fast. For many of the reasons and things you mentioned here. There are so many things off. Textures and geometrical shapes especially. You fill almost always find a sport in the image where the textures and lines are somewhat blurry in a weird way. Shadows sometimes make no sense etc. It's a fun experience to keep my eyes trained for this.

Once you know what to look for, you can tell when there's an AI image. It's even easier to notice if you play around with AI tools for a bit. I mainly just toy around with it for fun when I don't have the energy to draw things for myself.

I've recently decided that I want to build a house close to my parents in my hometown. I've been looking for smaller, cute houses with an older aesthetic on google and pinterest, I've found a lot of houses that are almost EXACTLY like I want it....but 99% of them are AI. It is honestly so infuriating. Imagine sending an AI house reference to an architect or something, showing what you're looking in a house, just to have them wonder why there are three chimneys, six different roofs and a hexagonal window in a random corner.

@_@ Awwwww! The REAL house 8:31, is *so* much like my old house that I loved so much! I commented once before on your channel about it. I wish there was a way to post pictures back to you! This one looks a little better than mine did, but if I had more time with mine I would have got it to this point of exquisiteness. Mine was in Oregon, built in 1892 in a farmhouse style. So this one being in Washington State, built jin 1889 seems like it must have been the style in the Pacific Northwest particularly at that time. But for those who prefer cottage Victorians, look up 430 Clayton St., Montgomery, Alabama. I was trying to find, on google maps street view, where my great-great aunt and uncle lived, and it's not there now, but this is the house next door. So adorable! I've seen some like this in California, but not with the really tall windows. I have to wonder, if you could find someone who could build in the old style, with lath and plaster walls, would it be even more astronomically expensive than finding an already existing Victorian?

Okay, hear me out dream trip: we all take mumble months off from work and start at one side of the nation and visit each house from The Kendra Gaylord house tour podcast. Another thought, maybe as crazy as the one above, since home ownership is out of reach for so many people maybe the AI house is as real and reachable as an affordable home. Perhaps the dream house is okay in our dreams. ❤❤
