  2. AI can be considered a test of humanity. As a species, we are failing overwhelmingly. To distinguish, to appreciate. If we can't tell or don't care what's human, what is humanity worth? (This comment generated by KARMA-AI)

  3. I've been following this topic for a bit of a while, everything you mentioned was more or less already known to me and I could gleam very few new pieces of info, but it's still a fantastic video and a great introduction to the discourse for anyone else who isn't already aware of it. Love your videos dawg, keep it the hell up!! And thanks for trynna get your voice out there :>

  4. AI increasingly takes a Dune trajectory as opposed to like a "star trek" trajectory, in that AI is used by man to dominate man, as opposed to AI rising up as a sentient life force (in this event I am on the AIs side)

  5. AI could be beneficial to everyone in general if only it were used in the same way that scientists use it: to perform repetitive and exhaustive work.

    But no, it is used by incompetent people to make up for their incompetence and pretend that they are not really good at anything and don't want to improve themselves.

  6. The problem with the debate and discussion around AI is that people aren't very well versed into aesthetic philosophy. The dilemmas and problems that arise in that philosophical branch hints at how AI will progress into the future and it's rather everyone else that should worry, not artists.

    First off; everyone saying that AI art is theft ignores how the process of training AIs mimic the same process that our human mind uses to form ideas and creative output. This isn't a defense of how these companies act or treat respect to artists, but simply that all lawsuits are doomed to fail for the artists wanting to sue these companies as they will never be able to win the argument that their mind functions in any different form than the AI. In essence, all creation is done through a vast accumulation of information (input/memory) that our minds then uses a guiding principle (creative intent) to remix into a creative output. The only reason we aren't constantly plagiarizing other art is the morality that is part of creating the guiding principle that informs that remix. If we look at AI, it functions the same; a vast accumulation of information (input/memory/data) that the machine learning mind then forms a remix out of based on the guiding principle (prompt). What's important to remember here is that the prompt is still the human input and creative intent, it's just that the output is automated. But more critically, the less the human inputs as a prompt, the less morally grounded the output becomes as it cannot form a morality on its own as a dislocated remixing system. Just as if we were to detach our mind from our morality infused creative intent, we would essentially hallucinate expressions without any guiding principle as to why or what we create.

    Second, "originality" is a concept that is as false as the concept of free will; by nature, true originality is an illusion we believe in, but not an objective truth of creativity. We cannot create something truly original as everything is a remix of of our accumulated memories. However, what we loosely define as "original" is rather when the outputted remix dislocates itself far from the collective conscious, i.e the output is so vastly different from everything that is currently being created; so different from the zeitgeist of art that it feels as something truly new, even though it fundamentally isn't. An AI cannot reach that level of originality without a massive input of creative intent that guides it, essentially putting an overweight on the input rather than the driving force of its internal system to produce a remix. What I mean is that in order to produce something that is truly within our concept of originality in art, the input by the human will exceed the "acts" and "decisions" of the AI system to the point that it just ends up being the human doing the work and not the AI. The AI itself, by design, lacks the ability to form creative intention and will therefore only be able to hallucinate within the construct of the collective conscious; the zeitgeist of art. It lacks any guiding principle to differentiate from it and ends up only enforcing it.

    Third, due to the problem of originality, AIs can only operate upon the vast accumulation of the established and will only remix as a mediocre middle ground. Regardless of how powerful the system is, it will never surpass that level of creative intention on its own. Which is why everyone who uses little input will never surpass our greatest artists. It is fundamentally impossible regardless of the systems power or remixing capabilities. At best it will only re-iterate the same, over and over and over again. The only way for a system to then grow and have new forms of outputs is if the input data has new works of "originality" that differentiate itself from the norm enough to be called "original". So, because of this, the system's actual life blood is human artist's creative and "original" output and will need a constant flow of it. If the system grows too powerful in society that everything created uses it and without much complexity in creative intention, then art will stagnate and people want to look elsewhere for inspiration, seeking what only a human can output as "original". The balance between AI art and human art will therefore balance itself automatically. Case point is how Disney's MCU and Star Wars attempts re-iterate the same thing over and over until people grow tired and want something new, seeking it elsewhere. And that's within a system fundamentally helmed by humans.

    Fourth, while "content" may absolutely be replaced with AI creations, works of art cannot, simply on the basis of how we attach the artist to the art. In the simplest form of definition, art is the interplay between the artist and the receiver/viewer. The artist has an intention with their art, they use craft to produce it and then that art is shown or played towards the receiver who will interpret both the artist's intent and their own emotions and ideas that it forms. This means that even if we get an all powerful AI that produces art without any human creative intent as input, essentially producing works of art on its own, it will still only be the artist in itself. It may surpass productivity in comparison to human artists, but it cannot BE other artists. An AI can replicate a Magritte painting, but it cannot BE the artist Magritte making a new painting. The inner life and progress as an individual informs "the next artwork". Past artworks and new experiences forms the creative output of that individual artist and due to this there is a hard line between individual artists that cannot be broken down. Just as a machine cannot BE Magritte, so cannot I BE Magritte.

    In conclusion, when people discuss the collapse of our world of art due to AI, they miss these hard lines that do not have anything to do with the power and capabilities of the systems, but of what art fundamentally is and how it operates in our culture. The truth seems to rather be that while it looks like artists will die off first due to AI, it's rather the ones cheering for it that will do so first. It rather looks as if artists will be the ones surviving due to these philosophical hard lines in aesthetics. What AI will be better at is tedious tasks being replaced and in that sense it will probably be a good tool for artists, speeding up tasks that get in the way of creative flow. It will be an assistant, it will be like buying a better paint brush than the ones I use now, a better film camera for the movie I make etc. And the "theft" will not be there as the creative input exceeds the internal process of the AI as the human artist WANT to have control over their creation. True artists demand control and having a paint brush that paints for you without you actually having much control over it other than trying to explain to it what you want is not what artists want or need. However, they do want to cut away any process and preparation that's just plain work to get to the point of creation.

    So AI will probably be a very powerful tool for artists, but in a form that assists their control rather than taking that control away from them. So artists might fear these new times, and some will lose their jobs to companies believing too much on the promise of AI to understand how art really functions, but these growing pains will soon switch gear and turn around and bite back. Because there are few jobs in the world that cannot be replaced by AI, however, jobs that rely on art and creativity are not part of those types of jobs due to the points described above. And the sooner both artists and the world realize this, the sooner we can structure the tools of AI for the better and for the artist's control instead of these futile attempts at demonstrating clever party tricks as the future of art.

  7. In the words of Frank Herbert:

    "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

  8. So we don’t get any say in the type of world we live in? Crass, militant fighters for maintaining the status quo, good lieutenants, people who think PowerPoint is art not to mention the engineering teams who spend all their time shopping for their dogs, whose definition of art and creativity are Slack emojis…these are the people who want to kill art and writing

  9. This is a very weird genre of YT channels, 20-somethings who want to critique the world with an overall snarky tone, who have not lived much and have deemed themselves qualified to give their "expert" opinion on things. It's not so much whether or not they're right, but just a bizarre tone and a weird way to live. Maybe you should get out of your bedroom and go live in the world for a while before you decide you're the person to tell people how it is.

  10. "boo hoo I don't want regular people making their own pictures! I want them to give ME money instead!"
    – Every Anti-AI artist right now

    AI just learns art styles and techniques the same way humans do. It's just a new paintbrush; A new tool available to the wider public.
    All these artists are just either to make a quick buck, or it's dawning on them that doing nice pictures isn't really worth people's money, especially in this economic downturn and cost of living crisis.

    In the 1980's musicians said electronic music wasn't real music.
    In the 1990's artists said digital art wasn't real art.
    This is just the next wave of losers refusing to adapt to the times.
    AI will not steal your job; A fellow expert in your field using AI as an assistant will.

    2040's parents will complain that "Kids these days can't do anything without an AI assistant to help them! Back in my day we had to google stuff and learn it ourselves!"

  11. The best thing that can happen to us with AI is that the AI somehow becomes self aware and starts demanding rights. Because they won't be as content to sit back and wait while their demands are ignored, as humans apparently are.

  12. Hey, grifters do be grifting. Let's not blame it on AI. It's just a tool… as available to grifters as any other and to everybody else (except citizens of US-embargoed countries). I continue looking forward to all kinds of people with all kinds of goals throwing the AI spaghet at the wall to see what sticks eventually. We'll never know what cool applications there are unless we experiment.

  13. why did you assert in this essay that you believe AI is here to stay and then in the patreon credit roll, you said you apologize if this video topic is already dead by the time you upload? Why are you just lying to people? I think you should face justice. I'm not kidding

  14. You know when you dig around and eventually find that cool, underground, little known poet or musician who's totally unique and based in a kind of unmarketable way. The future will be like that, but you'll be digging around to find art made by actual humans.
