As a 3D artist in the industry, i've recently been given a lot of AI-generated faces to sculpt from. The 2D images are a bit anatomically janky at times, but totally workable. I do hope 2D artists don't just call it done, but as you demonstrated here, actually build on top of what the AI generated, to add that designed touch and polish. My fear is that higher-ups who don't have any artistic knowledge will overestimate the capabilities of AI and suddenly rely way too much on it.
I think it’s sad to think that art will just turn into polishing up what an AI outputs. And then in 10 years artists will likely not even need to polish at at all.
@@ReblazeGaming 10 years ? Lol have you seen how good AI is now? Use a negative prompt for telling it to stop including more arms or legs and you get great images everytime
you have a huge point ive been trying to explain those who say this and have skepticism of me doing digital art. at the same time i still think its cool to invest in new concepts and technologies like this. Even better if. you feel your exceptional at art and that you've mastered it you could show off your skills against a robot. i think that would be a fun contest to do tbh
Midjourney is already able to do this, it’s only a matter of some years before art as a whole turns into this. It’s sad to think but it’s inevitable. As someone who wants to make money off art, all I can do is work on art as much as I can rn until the change comes in the future. I mean how long until people just use AI instead of commissioning someone?
the only one will be affected by a.i are artist with no audience / no stablish art style / starting artist / simple illustrator no niche / artist cant draw full body or with hands / i watch alot of a.i generated videos and they are the same, they can make illustration but basic not dinamic no hands similar style no speciffic pose cant make multiple character with different poses or intentional pose (like comics) .. a.i cant make new design as the client want it too. this are the weakness of a.i that artist can make.
Photography largely removed the need for artists who simply depict. Likewise, AI will largely remove artist who draw "pretty pictures" but will fail to replace artists conveying meaning. We will all just have to get better at making things worth saying.
if you believe that all of what it means to be human resides in the brain, there seems to be no reason why we wouldn't be able to replicate it given enough understanding, ergo there is no reason some future ai would be unable to convey meaning. even if you don't subscribe to this, we easily see meaning in randomness. generate something with even the slightest bit of cohesion and people will find meaning in it, guaranteed. death of the author and all that, yadda yadda
yet, there are still artists who are able to make a living just depicting. So even for pretty pictures, i don't think it's all doom and gloom. Even right now, the ammount of 'pretty' art out there is so overwhelming that might as well exist another source. And people still make a living with it; so what is just another competitor on an already oversaturated market. The most likely job to be affected by it is concept art for big productions, just because you can remove dozens of paid workers for a single algorythim. Even then you still need to sort out through the massive ammounts of concept an ai would generate, maybe that would be a job on its own. And then i'm sure people will find ways of marketing the novelty of ''100% hand crafted'' productions if that ever happens. Art is magnificently resistant and adaptative to new technologies, thankfully
He's more of a professional Sinix hair cutter than an actual artist, since he started at 9. Sinix should pay Sinix for all that time he spent learning how to cut Sinix's hair!
Added a link to some fun AI tools in the description to play with! (Also changed the thumbnail cause it was low res and I didn't like it) For the record, since not everyone might know my views clearly (and it feels like there is a bit too much negativity and hostility towards the concept). I don't actually think the careers of artists will be strongly diminished in any near term future. Of course there are a ton of art fields and aspects of art not related to the entertainment industry. Most likely, everything will get 10x easier and more streamlined. You will see it in 3d first, rigging, unwrapping, retopo, and all sorts of things are already on the cusp of being done by AI. So, the technical skills will be the place where the bar for entry disappears. This will probably then happen in animation, and lastly concept design. The upside is that it will give people far greater tools to express their goals with much more creative exploration.. probably allowing for a much shorter and easier game development cycle. The downside is that making more productive workers leads to the devaluing of workers. In the end, it might shake up the workplace a bit, but it will readjust and I think we'll see more creatively unique projects overall. I recommend playing around with it and enjoying the ride.
I think people are negative towards the concept since most people have the idea that the skills they've been training for years/decades will become irrelevant, which is just inherently kinda frustrating. This is only half true - your skills will remain, they'll just have to readjust to suit the future workflow, not too different from how 3D is moving toward procedural modelling (though it's not AI) but modellers just got used to the toolkit. I also predict a collective lag among artists while we all retrain ourselves when AI approaches. The other half is all the new skills we'll need to develop. As tools improve standards tend to rise, so I'm interested in seeing what kind of art breakthroughs we get as a result of artistic effort being directed somewhere else other than what we're used to. Not to mention that AI will not take be able to apply personal style like an individual artist can - it will only be able to approximate it at best for the foreseeable future. The generate -> modify by hand workflow will be common for a while after the AI-rt revolution I think. The idea of art careers being in jeopardy is only true if someone believes that art will serve the same purpose that it does now in 60 years, which is probably not the case. I think we're fine. Though I could be wrong and everybody, including artists, all end up jobless as a result of automation, in which case would be a good time to dismantle capitalism :D
Digital sculpting already incredibly streamlined art production. And what happened as a result? Character designs got even crazier as there was more time to spend on the designs, and that time paid off a lot more, in addition to rendering technology allowing that. AI will hopefully lead the way in another step towards quality in multiple creative industries.
Honestly i don’t think it’ll be doomsday, its just going to do what its best at and that is automating. The artistic process will just become so streamlined anyone could do it, i don’t know that’s what i like to think just cause its nice.
Literally me. I finally made a choice in my life having no direction or passion... and now oh no. I have faith this won't be the case, because there's the creativity of the individual human mind that simply can be artificially produced. It won't have the magic. But there are also people who could care less about that, or creators, so... I'll stay optimistic lol.
Yo I'm about to attend college in the fall studying animation/ illustration. But also I'm learning coding and software development on the side. Cuz you know if you can't beat them join them
After seeing and testing all the new models from Dalle2 to Stable Ai ... I have suspended the illustration branch of my career... 3+ years of sketching, studying anatomy, perfecting skills ... all to turn out to be obsolete. Fuck.
Obsolete? You're a person. If you've used the tools, didn't it occur to you to use them to grow yourself, as inspiration, or use your illustration skill to refine and perfect the kinda rough stuff most AI tends to put out? Would you quit woodworking because an IKEA opened in your country?
Really interesting to come back to this video a year later and seeing how far things have moved, how much they have changed. Could be worth a video revisiting the subject
its amazing how other people do things flawlessly yet mines not even i struggle endlessly.. even though.. ill continue pushing on no matter what.. even though my art really suck, all i need is a harsh and honest critique.. even though itll hurt.
exactly! I don't see how this thing will be able to make stylized illustrations with storytelling etc (like GWENT for example) unless it gets really close to true AI, in which case we'll have more serious things to worry about lol
RUclips recommended me this video a year late. It's a very interesting feeling to see your predictions and how they turned out, now that we have tools like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E!
ngl AI brought back my depression. I have been depressed a few years and than i started getting into art. I finally found some direction in life and something meaningful to do with my time with hope that someday i could work a job that i actually like doing. While all other people in my company go to school to get better jobs i spent my entire freetime trying to get better at drawing (and procrastinating). I have been doing nothig but work and improve my drawing in the freetime for the last year or so. Its been pretty nice despite having nearly zero social interactions, i enjoyed getting better at something i love. I always dreamt about someday getting good enough for an art job or working freelance. That is basically the only source of hope and joy in my life (I know thats dumb but ive tried so many years and didnt find anything like it). Last week ive read some things about AI Art and looked some things up and got really depressed again. What if i work on my Art every day, despite beeing tired from work and put all my effort into getting better instead of relaxing after work like most ppl do, only for AI to take over most art jobs in 5-10 years. I dont even know if i could reach a professional level in 5-10 years but iam certain AI can. I havent been drawing much recently cause i dont have that hope for my future anymore. I have been pretty depressed the last weeks and iam scared that the full load of depression comes back. I dont know what to do.
These AIs are glorified photobashing machines. They take images based on tags and mash them together based on some fancy calculus. They do not create works. They do not solve problems. They merge existing works in such a way as to give the illusion of something new. Unfortunately for anybody who wants to use it, that illusion falls apart rapidly. When you've got ten thousand pictures of dogs, and you ask the AI to spit you out some amalgamation of a dog, yeah, you might wind up with something not completely hideous. Now try specifying literally anything else. A dog in a particular environment, from a particular angle, doing a particular activity. Add more and more qualifiers, and watch the results exponentially decay in quality. hese algorithms are not new. This is only getting attention because the company likely put out something with a bigger database and more computing power, but it's still fundamentally broken in the same ways they always have been. Five years, ten years, twenty years, these thing won't magically solve the problems fundamental to the medium. The reason you're hearing about this is because they're likely trying to look for somebody to sell their tech to, so some gullible fuckwit with too much money will buy it and be too fucking stupid to realize the fundamental limitations of the medium. Also for now both dalle 2 and midjourney are in closed beta and a small number of people can use them (i've been using both of them for some time now , also i'm a junior concept artist) The computing needs for a broader usage from the mass population are going to be insanely large as well.
@@zander8347 right now i dont think they can compete but in like 5-years they are going to be insane. I guess we just have to wait and see what the future holds...
you don't get it, for this to compete with a human it needs to have an intent and a way to "think" . If we get to this level in 5 years , then all jobs that exist will be replaced by ai
You can go traditional art route, it's probably not going to be replaced with ai in near future. Or you can try to gather audience, in these 5-10 years, that will be interested in your art, artstyle or your personality specifically.
I don't think an algorithm that copy/pastes bits of images from the internet or a database (which is what "AI" actually does, like lets be real about this) is going to be replacing artists. If anything its going to lead to copywrite lawsuits as people notice parts of their work in ai generated images.
Tbh that's what humans already do. Your visual library is just a mishmash of things you've seen and are just replicating with distortions. Visual GANs basically do that.
@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte And it's what human brain does, if you replace google images with... google images but you have to type what you want to see instead of just sending a ticket to a server, holidays you went on as a kid, and clouds I guess.
I don't want A.I. to do too much for me. (I'm still reluctant to use curve correction.) What I would like to see is something that works similarly to how a grammar checker works for writers. Maybe the software could alert me to tangents or a value range that is too narrow. (That even might be a great--if sterile--way to learn art.) And I think many programmers will proceed with an aim toward assisting artists rather than replacing them. Corporate on the other hand... I fear that when an app license can reduce payroll, they will see dollar signs and we will see pink slips.
It is not what you want... This shit is exploding in front of our eyes and will be able to produce art without any special assistance. Anyone will be an art director, any six-year-old will be a Picasso.
Would it be THAT different tho? I mean feelings are also determined by chemicals in your brain. And they actually ARE a programmed reaction to an external stimulus now that i'm thinking about it. Programmed by evolution. Bip boop bop
@@roninguts0 I suppose so yeah but its also about the experience of being human? Would AI get to the point where it would simulate an entire life to grow a unique personality from which to do art through?
Set your AI to generate a thousand images according to your parameters, in a 10th the time and artist could, then pick the ones that accidentally look like they have some soul to them. Done.
@@b3nsu It doesn't need to, it can already simulate artstyles and create its own. It will only be better at this in the future. The person above me is also correct in that you can just ask AI to generate a big amount of images and then manually choose the ones that randomly happen to look "passionate" in a fraction of the time it would take you to get the same result from a human artist
@@kgb4150 sure I agree with you that it can be used for exploration but if you have a very specific emotion you want to convey thats almost indescribable you won’t be able to get there with random results imo. Also I’ll say a lot a big part of the appeal of art is knowing a human felt and created something through emotion. I think its the same reason why art forgeries are useless compared to the original, they’re emulating emotion not feeling it if you know what I mean? Just that art is more than technical skill and knowledge, if people know it was created by a machine they’re not going to relate to it. Basically i think the proper place for AI is to be used as tools for artists not be artists themselves
SINIX WITH SPROUT IN HAIR IS HONESTLY THE MOST PRECIOUS THING HDJSJJSOSPSKKSLS, anyways, isnt robots creating “character designs” of other robots just foreshadowing the robot invasion?
such a bummer. my art sucks so bad.😣, i wish someone would share their art knowledge and critique my art video. feels like my art will never improve even how hard i try.
I like how you described an artist who works along an AI as an "art director." I recognize that there also exists "technical artists" whose job is to connect artists with programmers who make the AI. Do you know of any other roles / job positions in the art industry that work with AI for graphics?
A lot of professional fields have a chance of being taken over by AI . That’s why it’s good to be highly skilled at what you do so no robot can replace you
In order for AI to replace you, the client would have to give clear and understandable directions. . . .and that's not going to happened lol. We will still work, just sometimes using the new toys.
@@Cyborg_Lenin But the AI will generate as much as he needed to do so, so he will have endless of possibilities with a fraction of the time a human can do, not to mention that those AI will learn to decrypt what the client dont even know or know but could not put a name on it !
@@maxwaver777 Lol. Neural networks arent magic. They cant read your mind dude. That's not even including the design process that can only be dont by someone who knows how to design. The network will semi-randomly mash together images, but that isnt designing, that's mashing images. Not to mention the copyright problems what will 100% arise if the client just makes the end product like that. Its still a tool, and the client will still have tu use artists, because clients generally dont understand shit.
@@Cyborg_Lenin i totally agree, but that's for now, I'm talking maybe 10 years or more from now ! This will evolve exponentially with a much advanced computers and horse power ! Hones6we did nit even knew these capabilities few years back !!! If look carefully the digital art field is slowly moving toward preset based , its already happening with our tools nowadays.
@@maxwaver777 its not an issue of horsepower. There is a difference in the mechanism itself. Networks aren't thinking or creating. They are combining. In the future they will be able to create "cool art". Thats possible with enough experience in the network. But nothing in the neural network can make it work as a artist and even less so a designer. The work we do will just shift, like it did with 3d or photobash. I don't know what you're talking about. What are those preset based tools? They might come im handy.
No I don’t think so, if anything artificial art will just become the average and then human made art will become some sort of luxury/worth more For example a table produced from a factory is usually worth less than a hand made table which is - in most cases worth a lot more
As much as I'm excited for Dall.E 2 and similar tech, it's so impressive that I think it surpasses being merely a tool and will probably start completely replacing art jobs in the very near future
There’s an artist I follow who has a second account where he posts art he generates from midjourney with little to no polishing. Half of the stuff there looks full illustrations! Bro it’s already beyond a tool, it’s only a matter of a few years before art jobs start being replaced or people start commissioning social media artists less because an AI can do it faster and cheaper.
@@ReblazeGaming Totally agree ( as an artist ). This is gonna be a disaster for illustrators and art schools in the nearest future. Some say it is gonna be a bright one. Sure, go tell this a 50-year-old illustrator who invested half of their life in learning and then perfecting their skills... all of that to become an input for someone else's prompt input ...
@@christygreen8245 oh, it was my wrong anyway, never do what I did. A friend introduced me an musician who needed coverart so they commissioned me. Flag 1: I didn't ask for advanced payment or contract, because was a friend of a friend (never do this, at least ask partial payment) Flag 2: He didn't know what type of cover art wanted so kept me doing several revision and several diferent types of covers. (I should be more stricter and start working when he knew what he wanted) At last he just used an ai generated artwork (witch btw, looked good and apparently is normal for a music band to use ai artwork now a days) It wasn't personal and really, our tastes were diferent. I have some cover art experience but my daily job is just graphic design for products so I didn't had lot of experience in this either. at least it became a experience to talk with other people about ai and how they going to take our jobs(?) PD: sorry for the broken english.
@@JankieHands I mean sure, your and his(?) tastes were different, but it would be so cool if in the end this would be your work on the cover and you can be proud of it, and not from a AI :( i think it's very sad tho.. I mean you even had made up ideas for this and stuff and tried it.. I hope you get nice comissions and stuff like this in the future where you can be proud of!
Art jobs won't be taken over by robots until jobs like shopkeepers, post officers, truck drivers etc are taken over and by that point it will be a different world so i wouldn't worry
The problem isn't so much that it becomes that. If it did, cool, we can all make neat stuff now. The problem for me is that imagine having something you spent DECADES honing suddenly became obsolete. Everything you built up over your life made unnecessary by a piece of technology; you lose your job and can't compete on the market, and fall into a hard, possibly even suicidal level of depression. Thankfully, I think it will develop slow enough that this won't happen since even artists starting their training now will likely get mileage for a long time before it's that advanced.
Maybe it’s foolish but I would like to believe that there are still people out there who would commission artists because they actually care about all the time, effort, and years of practice it took for them to create a piece. But of course, if there’s a cheaper option businesses can stop paying artists all together and just use AI to create their designs. Really the only digital art career that isn’t completely overshadowed by AI is probably art direction. Traditional art is, of course, traditional so it will take longer for AI to surpass that as well. The thing is about AI-generated-art is that it’s very unimpressive once you actually know that an AI generated it. Or at least to me it does. When I look at the art made by professional artists I constantly wonder how they manage to do so. The brushstrokes, the technique, the time that it took: all of these are what makes looking at art so wonderful (excluding the actual subject of the piece). But AI art is like a one-time thing in my opinion. It’s amazing that it can replicate styles or come up with illustrations with such intricate details but I don’t know. I don’t know how to describe it other than, cool… but all you had to do was type a couple of words to create it. Like yes, the work put into creating the AI is incredible, but I can’t say the same about the drawings that are a result of the AI. It sucks to want to be an artist and now have to worry about the automation of jobs. Just a couple of years ago everyone would say how art was the untouchable career and now it very well might be one of the first to disappear. One last thing about AI, isn’t it cruel to release an AI that could potentially destroy the careers of many artists? Like, it’s not there fault for wanting to release it to the public but it feels evil to do that to artists who are already struggling in the world. Not to mention crushing me and so many other people’s dreams of wanting to become an artist. Art is perhaps the only passion other than video games (lol) that I could do for a living. I love bringing my imagination to life and that’s the reason why I’m an artist. I want to escape from the harsh reality with my art and now that reality is going to impede my fantasy. I’m still going to go for it though and hopefully it turns out well. This whole AI wouldn’t be a problem if the government would pay artists… you already know how people would react to that 🙄
The mic is fine, as I figured out by the 4th troll with sound "enhancements". The biggest improvement that could be made is getting sound treatment for your walls. Or just bookcases full of cheap/thrift books in alternating stacks, and without aligning the books into a solid wall for sound to bounce off of. The bookcase trick probably costs the same as pro sound dampening boards/boxes, unless you get free/cheap bookcases (which are easy as hell to find on local online marketplaces).
Thank you for this well thought-through, high quality content Sinix. You made the video very entertaining to watch and I share your opinion about the role of ai for art in the near future. Maybe I'll give generating thumbnails a shot when I'm done with my bachelors thesis on a similar problem. Thanks again for the inspiration and the great lessons and inspiration you put out.
It's high time for you to make another video like this! Also if someone who's starting now, would you suggest him to learn AI/programming if we want to stay relevant? I am literally scared.
Humans tend to have flaws especially in Art and sometimes the flaw / bad habit makes their art distinguished / different. Ai will be always part of tool to assist human i guess
@Nicholas H Yeah you're right, I guess it kind of comes off as egotistical for all the students who are studying, but in his defense I don't think he was ready for AI art to become this good this quickly but you're definitely right
@@Bjoviii I think there is also a difference between using the image you get from writting a few words from the AI vs feeding the AI your OWN near finished work that you want touched up. Both of the examples would be using the AI, just not on equal levels.
AI will most likely just assist an artists to alleviate work load rather than replace them. Much like how computers made it easier for artists rather than drawing on paper. It's up to the artist to make it look good, your vision.
At first. It will only grow though, it's not going to hit a cap, it will continue to improve until it DOES replace them. The question is "When?". Will it happen during our careers, lifetime, etc?...
@@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608 when that happens, no other job will exist anyway, cuz, well, creating an artistic and creative AI that can do top quality art seems way more complex than developing AIs that keep track of numbers and such. If humanity comes to a point where it really doesn’t need art made by humans, it won’t need any office workers, teachers, anything. Everything will be able to be done, teached, repaired, created by AI and humans will be just useless
Regarding the audio, I found out that depends on the purpose, if I want music recording, I would lean towards condenser mics and dynamic mics for podcasts as it tends to cancel a lot of bg sounds. For higher quality sounds, go for xlr mics rather than usb mics. Though you will need amps/ something to control xlr
I remember a guy who was a art director show me videos about how A.I. will probably make the art industry even smaller he has been around since the days when they would create concept art with tradition materials
The RUclips channel 5minutepapers regularly posts exciting stuff about AI that I think might be interesting to people wondering about its role in the art world of the future.
The term for when an algorithm is given data, and then overtime improves its output/answers over time with a human’s guidance is called machine learning. I think this is what he was exploring in the video. A subset of machine meaning is called “deep learning” where the program basically is able to create its own artificial brain and can decide for itself whether it’s right or wrong and improve from there. They both do need data to work ofc, but deep learning doesn’t need its data to be sorted or labeled by people. So I think the claim that AI will always need a persons guidance isn’t necessarily true. Some programs will only need some input and then will just keep getting better by themselves. Tbh I could see really big art and animation studios that just churn out kind of mediocre content using AI to go faster and faster. I’m not an AI expert btw, I just finished a related research project and find both art and AI really interesting 😅
Coming from someone learning both art and computer science, I think It will be fascinating to see how these AI models evolve over the next decade. As our computers get cheaper and faster, processing power will no longer be the limiting factor for improvement. Instead, the next step will be generating models complex enough that humans cannot differentiate if the art was created by an AI or another human, almost like a Turing test for art.
I was thinking the other day about how the creative economy is probably only going to get more important over time. As long as society doesn't collapse, there's basically an unlimited demand for art, and it mostly doesn't use a lot natural resources in its creation.
I think that one thing you may be missing is the concept of "AI personalities" that are actually unique algorithms based on human training. It's something we're working on with our product called SYNTH for Blender. The idea is that the more a specific individual trains the ai, the more like that individual the AI will become. This gives different AIS the ability to have their own personality and design things just like humans would, and that is differently. The goal is that whoever did the training then owns the AI and its personality-- and then can use it design whatever they like. Or sell access to it.
I'm glad it's being discussed. I always get so frustrated when people say "oh AI will never take over art because art is a creative subject" wether you consider them "creative" or not they eventually may (as Sinix said) be able to "simulate" creativity. I can't say I'm with sinix on the embracing it since I feel there are so many much more useful and possibly general human happiness raising projects ppl could work on but I digress, that's a personal opinion. Glad I kept my future job options open with technical & creative subjects. (~_~;) Btw love the absolute chad hair cutting method Sinix.
I have never felt so heard and understood lol. Yeah I am a little pissed too because I think a bunch of engineers are doing this just because they can. Which- I mean i get it but it’s a still a little annoying especially since, as you said- there are likely a whole lot of ways you could put AI to better use. At the same time, I don’t know if I want to approach this with so much skepticism either since each aspect of tech (so far) has also opened doors to a whole lot of Careers that were not even a thing before. If this is a big enough leap, there might be new art jobs out there that people aren’t even thinking of currently.
Just gonna spill a thought, however this might relate to your thoughts on the future of the Art World, and perhaps A.I's role in it.
There's a clear separation happening on a world level right now with people becoming more comfortable and eventually directly 'living' within the digital/virtual space. Whether its VR games, or a Vtubing type of experience, or the NFT space, there seems to be rapid development in some sort of alternate reality that people want to creat, escape to and soon probably 'live in' entirely, whether they realize it or not. I bring this up, because within that 'virtual' world, the people or are in control or influencing that space will be wanting to create their own rules, values, economy, etc. The people who are not connected to that space, and still live their lives according to the more traditional standards in the 'real world' will still be interacting with the rules/values/economy of the world we've all been used to for all our lives.
I think most of the 'traditional' jobs in the entertainment industry will naturally move with the advancement in technology as they always have, and so if you want a job in that industry, you'll likely have a higher chance of being replaced if you want to compete with A.I in the quick concept design and visual development field, and the more desired skillset will probably come with Art Direction and the ability to take concepts to polished finished states.
But the world that's 'left behind', the 'real world' in this case will find that the people who partake in the commerce of the remaining entertainment industry, will still need artists with concept design skillsets for projects that aren't involved in the digital space (like video games, Movies etc).
As an addendum to that point, the transition to A.I is probably only something that tech companies and studios with the most money will invest in and use (at least for the near future). But over time, especially with the rapid exponential advancement in technology, there's a chance that technology will become more available to more people if the big companies ruling the digital space don't keep it locked away for themselves.
In short. i think we'll have a 'digital world' with its own rules/values/demand for artists. and we'll have a 'real world' with its own rules/values/demand for artist.
Radio Lover : What a burn, got whiplash from you teleporting behind me. The market is going to change to see someone draw in person like Kim Jung Gi is what I’m talking about. By the point art will be auto generated on an app if you need something you don’t want to pay £200 an hour for a firm to do, people would be looking for something real. Logo design is already over-saturated with auto-generated keyword stock, which is why most graphic designers now take a photograph of their hipster Moleskin to show a client the process is real. Drawing a hand with no reference, no construction lines would be comparable to having the same skill as a computer to general audiences. People would pay to see it. In the same way people would pay to see a singer, musician or even a weightlifter. There is going to be a point, which is happening already, where people want real tangible things to believe in when the digital space feels so generated and disposable. Average people already think that Photoshop does the work for you, when you show someone a picture of a painting and say it’s digital people aren’t as impressed despite the skill level involved. The average person thinks you lean over to your ‘Adobe Creative Cube’ and say “Ok Adobe, make me a woman laughing at salad and generate branding to put over it”.
@Radio Lover AI literally learns with time and experience as well Could even process logic better a human can. Algorithms? Humans arent technically designed for the knowledge and technology we have today, our human body are flawed when it comes to processing the algorithms of our world. An AI could simply surpass the age of Human because it is technically a program that can be replicated and upgraded as the time pass by. Right now AI is still a baby and have a lot to learn to even reach its high potential, so it makes sense that you just see them as tools but someday in the future An AI that has learned for years, decades, centuries and then given a synthetic body of a human with little to no or less flaws/genetic disorder/hardware issues is a new revolution. We won't live that long to see it tho, there are also possibilities that human race could end before the next generation advancement of technology is even created. So Yes, for now in our lifetime, you are right that they are just tools but if the advancement of technology prevails for the new generations. It can surpass the human body that nature molded with instinctual algorithm.
I wonder what ai dev think of this and what kind of joy they get from doing it. I've seen art ai bots that are copying art styles of artists that make commissions... how come it doesnt fit as copyright issues?
I see a lot of people woried about this, and i think we need to relax a bit. Humans look for stuff that look like they were made by humans, so even if there's gonna be a lot of AI involved in what artists do, if you create stuff that you want humans to appreciate, you'll still rely on human experience to drive that. On the other hand, for many mass produced things like AAA videogames and movies, we'll probably see a lot of AI use just cause of the costs involved. But look at it like magazines vs books. Most games nowadays made for these mass audiances, are exactly like magazines, but there's always a place for books, and people who appreciate that instead of small snippets of random articles. So my main advice to future digital artists is to stay away from pursuing realism or realistic projects, that's already a dead end and it's already obselete for most artists with all the 3Dscans, and character creators. And lastly, avoid the giant studios, and giant projects. Trust me, you'll not enjoy it as much as you think right now. But you'll probably not listen to my advice and learn this the hard way xD. Look for small teams where you can have an impact, where your work and creativity will be appreciated.
Probably environment art since biomes already follow general rules. There's already tools that do that in 3D but without leveraging much AI. An AI could be trained to understand how to distribute and design town elements, sidequests, treasure and mini-boss locations based on variables. A cold, mountainous region means less flora, more snow, less windows, more torches, etc. Character art might be more difficult to do since fashion doesn't follow easily understood rules. Fantasy genres like Skyrim and Final Fantasy are easiest because you just get it to understand armour, swords and shields while more unique aesthetically-driven design like Hades and Skullgirls would be difficult because the characters are so different and have their own design logic.
I'm looking forward to some more AI assistance. Especially in animation there repetetive things like colouring where there ain't much of a skill ceiling but they still take absurd amounts of time. Making long-ish animations of good quality with a small team should be possible but it kind of isn't, so go AI!
@@elanlynn5973 Well for single frames and paintings of course it is but if you're just filling in the color of somebody's shirt in the 250th frame it isn't that challenging anymore
i love art cus i feel like it's what gives me purpose and what makes us human and the artist really makes the art worthy but yea i'm just hoping that ai doesn't take over art completely because creating it is half the process
Do you think it is practical to study old masters in new mediums or do you think something gets lost. I'm currently experimenting with old painting styles mixed with new subjects and wonder what limitations the might have that we could overcome today like a leak of certain colours
Just found ur tutorial videos loved them really informative 😊 Was wondering if you were gonna do full body next? Also, Do you think it’s too late to study anatomy figure drawing during pandemic? Not really much options here in London 😂
Tbh Im in school still but I’ve taken comp science as my major obviously I’ll later decide if I really wanna do animation or not can you like advice something this video kinda made me feel frustrated cause I really wanna make art and earn a good living but it seems like ai is fucking taking over every job and reducing job opportunities
@@maggie__.simpson__2693 well I finished my degree and got a job as a 3d/technical artist on a VR project. I like my job but it is tough to make time to do more "artsy" art on the side. However, when money is already settled, it is freeing to be able to do art without having to have financial incentive to do so. Full blown fine art is probably not gonna be replaced by AI for a while but it's a good idea to learn how to code. But if you're American I don't wanna recommend xyz college major because it is so expensive. Studying in Germany is virtually free so changing direction/majors when you wanna do something else is not as big of a deal.
@@felixoesinghaus that’s a good too thanks for the reply :) tbh I also decided on doing something AI related cause doing art I wanna be able to do my own art rather than making specific scenes for films. Idk I might like that too but my first goal would be to get a stable good paying job so that even if I did wanna become professional artist in the future it wouldn’t affect me financially. Also keeping in mind that many art jobs don’t require a degree so I can start whenever I want but other jobs do. For colleges you’re right Germany has really nice free collages I’m from india and there’s also a pretty well known engineering college here ^^
I’ve always said creative fields are the one group of jobs that can’t be replaced by machines, you can replace manual labour but you cannot replace creativity with a robot, at-least it’s not in the real of possibility for what we understand right now, and if it was possible it would be thousands of years in the future when we make actual AI that’s sentient.
The current median prediction from the best scientists in the field for the time taken to achieve sentient AI is 160 years from now AT MOST. So not really "thousands of years". That said, there is nothing too special about creating images that makes it a feat only achievable by sentient creatures. Even OpenAI's AI can make art based on your description of the desired result and it is only going to improve in the future
@@kgb4150 No because thats not really how art works, art is art because its unique and the time and effort taken to do it, and the skill, an AI would simply be copying something or using an algorthym of already made art to generate something, I mean it depends what kind of AI we are talking really, and I really don't think an AI that is completely self thinking, learning and basically just a human in mechanical form is going to be possible in 150 years if ever.

Sound a lot like someone we all know out of history books
Huh. Kind of reminds me of that one Austrian kid that failed his qualification exam for an art school in Vienna 🤔
As a 3D artist in the industry, i've recently been given a lot of AI-generated faces to sculpt from. The 2D images are a bit anatomically janky at times, but totally workable. I do hope 2D artists don't just call it done, but as you demonstrated here, actually build on top of what the AI generated, to add that designed touch and polish.
My fear is that higher-ups who don't have any artistic knowledge will overestimate the capabilities of AI and suddenly rely way too much on it.
if it is an awful job i guess the market will correct itself, so the natural balancing of demand/supply will never end
I think it’s sad to think that art will just turn into polishing up what an AI outputs. And then in 10 years artists will likely not even need to polish at at all.

you have a huge point ive been trying to explain those who say this and have skepticism of me doing digital art. at the same time i still think its cool to invest in new concepts and technologies like this. Even better if. you feel your exceptional at art and that you've mastered it you could show off your skills against a robot. i think that would be a fun contest to do tbh
Check dalle 2 this already work like this
Midjourney is already able to do this, it’s only a matter of some years before art as a whole turns into this. It’s sad to think but it’s inevitable. As someone who wants to make money off art, all I can do is work on art as much as I can rn until the change comes in the future. I mean how long until people just use AI instead of commissioning someone?
the only one will be affected by a.i are artist with no audience / no stablish art style / starting artist / simple illustrator no niche / artist cant draw full body or with hands /
i watch alot of a.i generated videos and they are the same, they can make illustration but basic not dinamic no hands similar style no speciffic pose cant make multiple character with different poses or intentional pose (like comics) .. a.i cant make new design as the client want it too.
this are the weakness of a.i that artist can make.

Photography largely removed the need for artists who simply depict. Likewise, AI will largely remove artist who draw "pretty pictures" but will fail to replace artists conveying meaning. We will all just have to get better at making things worth saying.
ruclips.net/video/2mkVxK91VqY/видео.html
What a great comment. You put my thought into easy words
What a great comment. You put my thought into easy words
if you believe that all of what it means to be human resides in the brain, there seems to be no reason why we wouldn't be able to replicate it given enough understanding, ergo there is no reason some future ai would be unable to convey meaning. even if you don't subscribe to this, we easily see meaning in randomness. generate something with even the slightest bit of cohesion and people will find meaning in it, guaranteed. death of the author and all that, yadda yadda
yet, there are still artists who are able to make a living just depicting. So even for pretty pictures, i don't think it's all doom and gloom. Even right now, the ammount of 'pretty' art out there is so overwhelming that might as well exist another source. And people still make a living with it; so what is just another competitor on an already oversaturated market.
The most likely job to be affected by it is concept art for big productions, just because you can remove dozens of paid workers for a single algorythim. Even then you still need to sort out through the massive ammounts of concept an ai would generate, maybe that would be a job on its own. And then i'm sure people will find ways of marketing the novelty of ''100% hand crafted'' productions if that ever happens.
Art is magnificently resistant and adaptative to new technologies, thankfully

Added a link to some fun AI tools in the description to play with! (Also changed the thumbnail cause it was low res and I didn't like it)
For the record, since not everyone might know my views clearly (and it feels like there is a bit too much negativity and hostility towards the concept). I don't actually think the careers of artists will be strongly diminished in any near term future. Of course there are a ton of art fields and aspects of art not related to the entertainment industry. Most likely, everything will get 10x easier and more streamlined. You will see it in 3d first, rigging, unwrapping, retopo, and all sorts of things are already on the cusp of being done by AI. So, the technical skills will be the place where the bar for entry disappears. This will probably then happen in animation, and lastly concept design. The upside is that it will give people far greater tools to express their goals with much more creative exploration.. probably allowing for a much shorter and easier game development cycle. The downside is that making more productive workers leads to the devaluing of workers. In the end, it might shake up the workplace a bit, but it will readjust and I think we'll see more creatively unique projects overall. I recommend playing around with it and enjoying the ride.
Well if anything, it encouraged me to try out these algorythmic systems as tools for my designs so thanks for that! :D
I think people are negative towards the concept since most people have the idea that the skills they've been training for years/decades will become irrelevant, which is just inherently kinda frustrating. This is only half true - your skills will remain, they'll just have to readjust to suit the future workflow, not too different from how 3D is moving toward procedural modelling (though it's not AI) but modellers just got used to the toolkit. I also predict a collective lag among artists while we all retrain ourselves when AI approaches. The other half is all the new skills we'll need to develop. As tools improve standards tend to rise, so I'm interested in seeing what kind of art breakthroughs we get as a result of artistic effort being directed somewhere else other than what we're used to.
Not to mention that AI will not take be able to apply personal style like an individual artist can - it will only be able to approximate it at best for the foreseeable future. The generate -> modify by hand workflow will be common for a while after the AI-rt revolution I think.
The idea of art careers being in jeopardy is only true if someone believes that art will serve the same purpose that it does now in 60 years, which is probably not the case. I think we're fine. Though I could be wrong and everybody, including artists, all end up jobless as a result of automation, in which case would be a good time to dismantle capitalism :D
Digital sculpting already incredibly streamlined art production. And what happened as a result? Character designs got even crazier as there was more time to spend on the designs, and that time paid off a lot more, in addition to rendering technology allowing that. AI will hopefully lead the way in another step towards quality in multiple creative industries.
Dalle 2 exist now
Now what ?
This is my biggest fear lmao
ruclips.net/video/2mkVxK91VqY/видео.html

I'M ABOUT TO GET INTO AN ART CAREER, DON'T TELL ME THIS 😭😭
Literally me. I finally made a choice in my life having no direction or passion... and now oh no.
I have faith this won't be the case, because there's the creativity of the individual human mind that simply can be artificially produced. It won't have the magic.
But there are also people who could care less about that, or creators, so...
I'll stay optimistic lol.
I don't worry too much about the robots stealing your art job, when there's millions of humans who are already going to.

@@bwzarchive708 You got into art to do art for free, right?
Obsolete? You're a person. If you've used the tools, didn't it occur to you to use them to grow yourself, as inspiration, or use your illustration skill to refine and perfect the kinda rough stuff most AI tends to put out? Would you quit woodworking because an IKEA opened in your country?

ngl AI brought back my depression. I have been depressed a few years and than i started getting into art. I finally found some direction in life and something meaningful to do with my time with hope that someday i could work a job that i actually like doing. While all other people in my company go to school to get better jobs i spent my entire freetime trying to get better at drawing (and procrastinating). I have been doing nothig but work and improve my drawing in the freetime for the last year or so. Its been pretty nice despite having nearly zero social interactions, i enjoyed getting better at something i love. I always dreamt about someday getting good enough for an art job or working freelance. That is basically the only source of hope and joy in my life (I know thats dumb but ive tried so many years and didnt find anything like it). Last week ive read some things about AI Art and looked some things up and got really depressed again. What if i work on my Art every day, despite beeing tired from work and put all my effort into getting better instead of relaxing after work like most ppl do, only for AI to take over most art jobs in 5-10 years. I dont even know if i could reach a professional level in 5-10 years but iam certain AI can. I havent been drawing much recently cause i dont have that hope for my future anymore. I have been pretty depressed the last weeks and iam scared that the full load of depression comes back. I dont know what to do.
These AIs are glorified photobashing machines. They take images based on tags and mash them together based on some fancy calculus. They do not create works. They do not solve problems. They merge existing works in such a way as to give the illusion of something new.
Unfortunately for anybody who wants to use it, that illusion falls apart rapidly. When you've got ten thousand pictures of dogs, and you ask the AI to spit you out some amalgamation of a dog, yeah, you might wind up with something not completely hideous. Now try specifying literally anything else. A dog in a particular environment, from a particular angle, doing a particular activity. Add more and more qualifiers, and watch the results exponentially decay in quality.
hese algorithms are not new. This is only getting attention because the company likely put out something with a bigger database and more computing power, but it's still fundamentally broken in the same ways they always have been. Five years, ten years, twenty years, these thing won't magically solve the problems fundamental to the medium.
The reason you're hearing about this is because they're likely trying to look for somebody to sell their tech to, so some gullible fuckwit with too much money will buy it and be too fucking stupid to realize the fundamental limitations of the medium.
Also for now both dalle 2 and midjourney are in closed beta and a small number of people can use them (i've been using both of them for some time now , also i'm a junior concept artist) The computing needs for a broader usage from the mass population are going to be insanely large as well.
@@zander8347 right now i dont think they can compete but in like 5-years they are going to be insane. I guess we just have to wait and see what the future holds...
you don't get it, for this to compete with a human it needs to have an intent and a way to "think" . If we get to this level in 5 years , then all jobs that exist will be replaced by ai
You can go traditional art route, it's probably not going to be replaced with ai in near future. Or you can try to gather audience, in these 5-10 years, that will be interested in your art, artstyle or your personality specifically.
I relate to this soo much!!
I don't think an algorithm that copy/pastes bits of images from the internet or a database (which is what "AI" actually does, like lets be real about this) is going to be replacing artists. If anything its going to lead to copywrite lawsuits as people notice parts of their work in ai generated images.
That just means art AI will work with private databases and will be too expensive for regular people.
Tbh that's what humans already do. Your visual library is just a mishmash of things you've seen and are just replicating with distortions. Visual GANs basically do that.
“which is what AI actually does”
lol your extremely limited understanding of AI is comical.
There are no original ideas anyway.
@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte And it's what human brain does, if you replace google images with... google images but you have to type what you want to see instead of just sending a ticket to a server, holidays you went on as a kid, and clouds I guess.
I don't want A.I. to do too much for me. (I'm still reluctant to use curve correction.) What I would like to see is something that works similarly to how a grammar checker works for writers. Maybe the software could alert me to tangents or a value range that is too narrow. (That even might be a great--if sterile--way to learn art.) And I think many programmers will proceed with an aim toward assisting artists rather than replacing them. Corporate on the other hand... I fear that when an app license can reduce payroll, they will see dollar signs and we will see pink slips.
It is not what you want... This shit is exploding in front of our eyes and will be able to produce art without any special assistance. Anyone will be an art director, any six-year-old will be a Picasso.
@@cynamonstudio I hope that is not how is plays out, but it will certainly something to be wary of.
Everyone: *comments about AI*
Me: "bruh. . . Your hair tho."
I don’t think AI will ever be able to truly compete with artists because it can simulate emotions but it can’t feel them
Would it be THAT different tho? I mean feelings are also determined by chemicals in your brain. And they actually ARE a programmed reaction to an external stimulus now that i'm thinking about it. Programmed by evolution. Bip boop bop
@@roninguts0 I suppose so yeah but its also about the experience of being human? Would AI get to the point where it would simulate an entire life to grow a unique personality from which to do art through?
Set your AI to generate a thousand images according to your parameters, in a 10th the time and artist could, then pick the ones that accidentally look like they have some soul to them. Done.
@@b3nsu It doesn't need to, it can already simulate artstyles and create its own. It will only be better at this in the future. The person above me is also correct in that you can just ask AI to generate a big amount of images and then manually choose the ones that randomly happen to look "passionate" in a fraction of the time it would take you to get the same result from a human artist
@@kgb4150 sure I agree with you that it can be used for exploration but if you have a very specific emotion you want to convey thats almost indescribable you won’t be able to get there with random results imo. Also I’ll say a lot a big part of the appeal of art is knowing a human felt and created something through emotion. I think its the same reason why art forgeries are useless compared to the original, they’re emulating emotion not feeling it if you know what I mean? Just that art is more than technical skill and knowledge, if people know it was created by a machine they’re not going to relate to it. Basically i think the proper place for AI is to be used as tools for artists not be artists themselves

@@maxwaver777 its not an issue of horsepower. There is a difference in the mechanism itself. Networks aren't thinking or creating. They are combining.
In the future they will be able to create "cool art". Thats possible with enough experience in the network.

I don't know what you're talking about. What are those preset based tools? They might come im handy.

I lost a cover commission thanks to an ai lmao
Really??? How? (If you don't mind sharing)
@@christygreen8245 oh, it was my wrong anyway, never do what I did.
A friend introduced me an musician who needed coverart so they commissioned me.
Flag 1: I didn't ask for advanced payment or contract, because was a friend of a friend (never do this, at least ask partial payment)
Flag 2: He didn't know what type of cover art wanted so kept me doing several revision and several diferent types of covers. (I should be more stricter and start working when he knew what he wanted)
At last he just used an ai generated artwork (witch btw, looked good and apparently is normal for a music band to use ai artwork now a days)
It wasn't personal and really, our tastes were diferent. I have some cover art experience but my daily job is just graphic design for products so I didn't had lot of experience in this either. at least it became a experience to talk with other people about ai and how they going to take our jobs(?)
PD: sorry for the broken english.
@@JankieHands I mean sure, your and his(?) tastes were different, but it would be so cool if in the end this would be your work on the cover and you can be proud of it, and not from a AI :( i think it's very sad tho.. I mean you even had made up ideas for this and stuff and tried it..
I hope you get nice comissions and stuff like this in the future where you can be proud of!
one year before AI art was spread out... here it was Sinix the wise!
Art jobs won't be taken over by robots until jobs like shopkeepers, post officers, truck drivers etc are taken over and by that point it will be a different world so i wouldn't worry
The problem isn't so much that it becomes that. If it did, cool, we can all make neat stuff now.
The problem for me is that imagine having something you spent DECADES honing suddenly became obsolete. Everything you built up over your life made unnecessary by a piece of technology; you lose your job and can't compete on the market, and fall into a hard, possibly even suicidal level of depression.
Thankfully, I think it will develop slow enough that this won't happen since even artists starting their training now will likely get mileage for a long time before it's that advanced.
Maybe it’s foolish but I would like to believe that there are still people out there who would commission artists because they actually care about all the time, effort, and years of practice it took for them to create a piece. But of course, if there’s a cheaper option businesses can stop paying artists all together and just use AI to create their designs.
Really the only digital art career that isn’t completely overshadowed by AI is probably art direction. Traditional art is, of course, traditional so it will take longer for AI to surpass that as well.
The thing is about AI-generated-art is that it’s very unimpressive once you actually know that an AI generated it. Or at least to me it does. When I look at the art made by professional artists I constantly wonder how they manage to do so. The brushstrokes, the technique, the time that it took: all of these are what makes looking at art so wonderful (excluding the actual subject of the piece). But AI art is like a one-time thing in my opinion. It’s amazing that it can replicate styles or come up with illustrations with such intricate details but I don’t know. I don’t know how to describe it other than, cool… but all you had to do was type a couple of words to create it. Like yes, the work put into creating the AI is incredible, but I can’t say the same about the drawings that are a result of the AI.
It sucks to want to be an artist and now have to worry about the automation of jobs. Just a couple of years ago everyone would say how art was the untouchable career and now it very well might be one of the first to disappear.
One last thing about AI, isn’t it cruel to release an AI that could potentially destroy the careers of many artists? Like, it’s not there fault for wanting to release it to the public but it feels evil to do that to artists who are already struggling in the world. Not to mention crushing me and so many other people’s dreams of wanting to become an artist. Art is perhaps the only passion other than video games (lol) that I could do for a living. I love bringing my imagination to life and that’s the reason why I’m an artist. I want to escape from the harsh reality with my art and now that reality is going to impede my fantasy. I’m still going to go for it though and hopefully it turns out well.
This whole AI wouldn’t be a problem if the government would pay artists… you already know how people would react to that 🙄
the sprout in your hair was so cute AW
I have no complaints about the sound quality of your videos. This was an interesting video btw.
That hair cut tutorial made my day
8 minutes in and this is mindblowing on just the art fundamentals part let alone the AI portion of it.
Best video i've ever witnessed, deserves more hype
5:05 or just steal art and feed it to the Ai ... that's what those tech companies did .
This is the video I been looking foor
this is a very dangerous video for us all lmaoo
ruclips.net/video/2mkVxK91VqY/видео.html
The mic is fine, as I figured out by the 4th troll with sound "enhancements". The biggest improvement that could be made is getting sound treatment for your walls. Or just bookcases full of cheap/thrift books in alternating stacks, and without aligning the books into a solid wall for sound to bounce off of. The bookcase trick probably costs the same as pro sound dampening boards/boxes, unless you get free/cheap bookcases (which are easy as hell to find on local online marketplaces).
The future of art as a job might just be traditional. Craig Mullins was saying so a few years ago and now I'm starting to see how.
Thank you for this well thought-through, high quality content Sinix. You made the video very entertaining to watch and I share your opinion about the role of ai for art in the near future. Maybe I'll give generating thumbnails a shot when I'm done with my bachelors thesis on a similar problem. Thanks again for the inspiration and the great lessons and inspiration you put out.
It's high time for you to make another video like this! Also if someone who's starting now, would you suggest him to learn AI/programming if we want to stay relevant? I am literally scared.
i can't believe we got a real time haircut, you're amazing LOL
I came into this super scared, but this actually sounds sick so long as you're solid on your fundamentals
Humans tend to have flaws especially in Art and sometimes the flaw / bad habit makes their art distinguished / different.
Ai will be always part of tool to assist human i guess
cant wait for the day when people are gonna ask "did you use ai for this" instead of "is this traced?"
@Nicholas H Ouch
@Nicholas H Yeah you're right, I guess it kind of comes off as egotistical for all the students who are studying, but in his defense I don't think he was ready for AI art to become this good this quickly but you're definitely right
@@Bjoviii I think there is also a difference between using the image you get from writting a few words from the AI vs feeding the AI your OWN near finished work that you want touched up. Both of the examples would be using the AI, just not on equal levels.
AI will most likely just assist an artists to alleviate work load rather than replace them. Much like how computers made it easier for artists rather than drawing on paper. It's up to the artist to make it look good, your vision.
At first. It will only grow though, it's not going to hit a cap, it will continue to improve until it DOES replace them.
The question is "When?". Will it happen during our careers, lifetime, etc?...
@@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608 when that happens, no other job will exist anyway, cuz, well, creating an artistic and creative AI that can do top quality art seems way more complex than developing AIs that keep track of numbers and such. If humanity comes to a point where it really doesn’t need art made by humans, it won’t need any office workers, teachers, anything. Everything will be able to be done, teached, repaired, created by AI and humans will be just useless
Regarding the audio, I found out that depends on the purpose, if I want music recording, I would lean towards condenser mics and dynamic mics for podcasts as it tends to cancel a lot of bg sounds. For higher quality sounds, go for xlr mics rather than usb mics. Though you will need amps/ something to control xlr
I remember a guy who was a art director show me videos about how A.I. will probably make the art industry even smaller he has been around since the days when they would create concept art with tradition materials
As
@Dummy Account Yeah for the most part.
The RUclips channel 5minutepapers regularly posts exciting stuff about AI that I think might be interesting to people wondering about its role in the art world of the future.
14:15 "huge non-artificial thank you" lmaoooo
The term for when an algorithm is given data, and then overtime improves its output/answers over time with a human’s guidance is called machine learning. I think this is what he was exploring in the video. A subset of machine meaning is called “deep learning” where the program basically is able to create its own artificial brain and can decide for itself whether it’s right or wrong and improve from there. They both do need data to work ofc, but deep learning doesn’t need its data to be sorted or labeled by people. So I think the claim that AI will always need a persons guidance isn’t necessarily true. Some programs will only need some input and then will just keep getting better by themselves. Tbh I could see really big art and animation studios that just churn out kind of mediocre content using AI to go faster and faster. I’m not an AI expert btw, I just finished a related research project and find both art and AI really interesting 😅
not sinix casually just cutting off a chunk of his hair during the video LOOOOLL
Coming from someone learning both art and computer science, I think It will be fascinating to see how these AI models evolve over the next decade. As our computers get cheaper and faster, processing power will no longer be the limiting factor for improvement. Instead, the next step will be generating models complex enough that humans cannot differentiate if the art was created by an AI or another human, almost like a Turing test for art.
I was thinking the other day about how the creative economy is probably only going to get more important over time. As long as society doesn't collapse, there's basically an unlimited demand for art, and it mostly doesn't use a lot natural resources in its creation.
Dalle 2 seems to perspective, foreground, midground, background, big and small, proportions,
That unceremonious hair cut😭😭
ok so the hair part changed my life
I love your creative mind man!
I'm here just for the beauty tips. Thanks, Sinix.
Now i get why people hate robots in Detroit Become Human. They're right.
thanks for the tutorial on how to make brushes with your own hair, i'll try it rn
I think that one thing you may be missing is the concept of "AI personalities" that are actually unique algorithms based on human training. It's something we're working on with our product called SYNTH for Blender.
The idea is that the more a specific individual trains the ai, the more like that individual the AI will become. This gives different AIS the ability to have their own personality and design things just like humans would, and that is differently. The goal is that whoever did the training then owns the AI and its personality-- and then can use it design whatever they like. Or sell access to it.
I'm glad it's being discussed. I always get so frustrated when people say "oh AI will never take over art because art is a creative subject" wether you consider them "creative" or not they eventually may (as Sinix said) be able to "simulate" creativity.
I can't say I'm with sinix on the embracing it since I feel there are so many much more useful and possibly general human happiness raising projects ppl could work on but I digress, that's a personal opinion. Glad I kept my future job options open with technical & creative subjects. (~_~;)
Btw love the absolute chad hair cutting method Sinix.
I have never felt so heard and understood lol. Yeah I am a little pissed too because I think a bunch of engineers are doing this just because they can. Which- I mean i get it but it’s a still a little annoying especially since, as you said- there are likely a whole lot of ways you could put AI to better use. At the same time, I don’t know if I want to approach this with so much skepticism either since each aspect of tech (so far) has also opened doors to a whole lot of Careers that were not even a thing before. If this is a big enough leap, there might be new art jobs out there that people aren’t even thinking of currently.
What's up man, loving your videos.
Just gonna spill a thought, however this might relate to your thoughts on the future of the Art World, and perhaps A.I's role in it.
There's a clear separation happening on a world level right now with people becoming more comfortable and eventually directly 'living' within the digital/virtual space. Whether its VR games, or a Vtubing type of experience, or the NFT space, there seems to be rapid development in some sort of alternate reality that people want to creat, escape to and soon probably 'live in' entirely, whether they realize it or not. I bring this up, because within that 'virtual' world, the people or are in control or influencing that space will be wanting to create their own rules, values, economy, etc. The people who are not connected to that space, and still live their lives according to the more traditional standards in the 'real world' will still be interacting with the rules/values/economy of the world we've all been used to for all our lives.
I think most of the 'traditional' jobs in the entertainment industry will naturally move with the advancement in technology as they always have, and so if you want a job in that industry, you'll likely have a higher chance of being replaced if you want to compete with A.I in the quick concept design and visual development field, and the more desired skillset will probably come with Art Direction and the ability to take concepts to polished finished states.
But the world that's 'left behind', the 'real world' in this case will find that the people who partake in the commerce of the remaining entertainment industry, will still need artists with concept design skillsets for projects that aren't involved in the digital space (like video games, Movies etc).
As an addendum to that point, the transition to A.I is probably only something that tech companies and studios with the most money will invest in and use (at least for the near future). But over time, especially with the rapid exponential advancement in technology, there's a chance that technology will become more available to more people if the big companies ruling the digital space don't keep it locked away for themselves.
In short. i think we'll have a 'digital world' with its own rules/values/demand for artists.
and we'll have a 'real world' with its own rules/values/demand for artist.
Yeah, we’re all doomed.
Drawing and art will probably turn into performance art like the SuperAni artists currently.
But yeah, still doomed.
Perfomance art will prevail
@Radio Lover facts
Super ani?
Radio Lover :
What a burn, got whiplash from you teleporting behind me.
The market is going to change to see someone draw in person like Kim Jung Gi is what I’m talking about. By the point art will be auto generated on an app if you need something you don’t want to pay £200 an hour for a firm to do, people would be looking for something real. Logo design is already over-saturated with auto-generated keyword stock, which is why most graphic designers now take a photograph of their hipster Moleskin to show a client the process is real.
Drawing a hand with no reference, no construction lines would be comparable to having the same skill as a computer to general audiences. People would pay to see it. In the same way people would pay to see a singer, musician or even a weightlifter. There is going to be a point, which is happening already, where people want real tangible things to believe in when the digital space feels so generated and disposable. Average people already think that Photoshop does the work for you, when you show someone a picture of a painting and say it’s digital people aren’t as impressed despite the skill level involved. The average person thinks you lean over to your ‘Adobe Creative Cube’ and say “Ok Adobe, make me a woman laughing at salad and generate branding to put over it”.
@Radio Lover AI literally learns with time and experience as well
Could even process logic better a human can.
Algorithms? Humans arent technically designed for the knowledge and technology we have today, our human body are flawed when it comes to processing the algorithms of our world.
An AI could simply surpass the age of Human because it is technically a program that can be replicated and upgraded as the time pass by.
Right now AI is still a baby and have a lot to learn to even reach its high potential, so it makes sense that you just see them as tools but someday in the future
An AI that has learned for years, decades, centuries and then given a synthetic body of a human with little to no or less flaws/genetic disorder/hardware issues is a new revolution.
We won't live that long to see it tho, there are also possibilities that human race could end before the next generation advancement of technology is even created.
So Yes, for now in our lifetime, you are right that they are just tools but if the advancement of technology prevails for the new generations.
It can surpass the human body that nature molded with instinctual algorithm.
I wonder what ai dev think of this and what kind of joy they get from doing it. I've seen art ai bots that are copying art styles of artists that make commissions... how come it doesnt fit as copyright issues?
is there no way we could stop ai from taking our jobs?
nope
The monkaS timing is so funny lmao
I see a lot of people woried about this, and i think we need to relax a bit. Humans look for stuff that look like they were made by humans, so even if there's gonna be a lot of AI involved in what artists do, if you create stuff that you want humans to appreciate, you'll still rely on human experience to drive that.
On the other hand, for many mass produced things like AAA videogames and movies, we'll probably see a lot of AI use just cause of the costs involved. But look at it like magazines vs books. Most games nowadays made for these mass audiances, are exactly like magazines, but there's always a place for books, and people who appreciate that instead of small snippets of random articles.
So my main advice to future digital artists is to stay away from pursuing realism or realistic projects, that's already a dead end and it's already obselete for most artists with all the 3Dscans, and character creators. And lastly, avoid the giant studios, and giant projects. Trust me, you'll not enjoy it as much as you think right now. But you'll probably not listen to my advice and learn this the hard way xD. Look for small teams where you can have an impact, where your work and creativity will be appreciated.
Can't believe he just cut his hair on camera. Bravo
The man actually cut the hair in video, came for the art and went out laughing wtf
Here is a question, what particular art direction, art AI will impact the most? (character concept art, environment art, etc.?)
Probably environment art since biomes already follow general rules. There's already tools that do that in 3D but without leveraging much AI. An AI could be trained to understand how to distribute and design town elements, sidequests, treasure and mini-boss locations based on variables. A cold, mountainous region means less flora, more snow, less windows, more torches, etc.
Character art might be more difficult to do since fashion doesn't follow easily understood rules. Fantasy genres like Skyrim and Final Fantasy are easiest because you just get it to understand armour, swords and shields while more unique aesthetically-driven design like Hades and Skullgirls would be difficult because the characters are so different and have their own design logic.
I'm looking forward to some more AI assistance. Especially in animation there repetetive things like colouring where there ain't much of a skill ceiling but they still take absurd amounts of time.
Making long-ish animations of good quality with a small team should be possible but it kind of isn't, so go AI!
? Coloring ain’t much of skill?
Good for you then.
@@elanlynn5973 Well for single frames and paintings of course it is but if you're just filling in the color of somebody's shirt in the 250th frame it isn't that challenging anymore
@@bauminsonx9662 yeah right forgot that
Thankyou sinix... Very cool....keep up this video frequency....!! Also, we waiting for chroma corp!
i love art cus i feel like it's what gives me purpose and what makes us human and the artist really makes the art worthy but yea i'm just hoping that ai doesn't take over art completely because creating it is half the process
Do you think it is practical to study old masters in new mediums or do you think something gets lost. I'm currently experimenting with old painting styles mixed with new subjects and wonder what limitations the might have that we could overcome today like a leak of certain colours
Just found ur tutorial videos loved them really informative 😊 Was wondering if you were gonna do full body next?
Also, Do you think it’s too late to study anatomy figure drawing during pandemic? Not really much options here in London 😂
Hello from dalle 2 in 2022
Yep dalle 2 seems to implement many of sinix's ideas.
Time for people to change careers!
We demand a new video!
@@me-ry9ee and when you change it AI takes that career from you too
Beautiful video
Just finishing up my computer science degree but want to get into my art again.
Guess it's a good thing I did some machine learning courses
Tbh Im in school still but I’ve taken comp science as my major obviously I’ll later decide if I really wanna do animation or not can you like advice something this video kinda made me feel frustrated cause I really wanna make art and earn a good living but it seems like ai is fucking taking over every job and reducing job opportunities
@@maggie__.simpson__2693 well I finished my degree and got a job as a 3d/technical artist on a VR project. I like my job but it is tough to make time to do more "artsy" art on the side. However, when money is already settled, it is freeing to be able to do art without having to have financial incentive to do so.
Full blown fine art is probably not gonna be replaced by AI for a while but it's a good idea to learn how to code. But if you're American I don't wanna recommend xyz college major because it is so expensive. Studying in Germany is virtually free so changing direction/majors when you wanna do something else is not as big of a deal.
@@felixoesinghaus that’s a good too thanks for the reply :) tbh I also decided on doing something AI related cause doing art I wanna be able to do my own art rather than making specific scenes for films. Idk I might like that too but my first goal would be to get a stable good paying job so that even if I did wanna become professional artist in the future it wouldn’t affect me financially. Also keeping in mind that many art jobs don’t require a degree so I can start whenever I want but other jobs do. For colleges you’re right Germany has really nice free collages I’m from india and there’s also a pretty well known engineering college here ^^
*that’s good too
Art talk and hair tutorial. Chef´s kisses
20k baby
13:33 "sorry med"
I’ve always said creative fields are the one group of jobs that can’t be replaced by machines, you can replace manual labour but you cannot replace creativity with a robot, at-least it’s not in the real of possibility for what we understand right now, and if it was possible it would be thousands of years in the future when we make actual AI that’s sentient.
The current median prediction from the best scientists in the field for the time taken to achieve sentient AI is 160 years from now AT MOST. So not really "thousands of years". That said, there is nothing too special about creating images that makes it a feat only achievable by sentient creatures. Even OpenAI's AI can make art based on your description of the desired result and it is only going to improve in the future
@@kgb4150 No because thats not really how art works, art is art because its unique and the time and effort taken to do it, and the skill, an AI would simply be copying something or using an algorthym of already made art to generate something, I mean it depends what kind of AI we are talking really, and I really don't think an AI that is completely self thinking, learning and basically just a human in mechanical form is going to be possible in 150 years if ever.
The sprout is so cute lmao
come on algorithm DO YOUR THING!!!!
So, should i or should i not take it up as a career , i have like a month left to decide my stream
oh my goodness that impromptu haircut at the end was so outta pocket AHAHAHA
That's crazy! Cutting hair like that since childhood 😂 saved lot of money until now 😂 ❤ i love ur art ❤
Lol that Pal World joke !
