This isn't Joey looking at AI Art, this is Joey looking at his alternate versions in each of the Dark Timelines.
Lore Master, update the timelines. Quick.

Bold of you to assume that this isn't already the dark timeline
Please keep in mind that AI "art generators" use real artists work without their permission or consent. The creators of AI image generators are benefiting from using others work without any means for artists to stop them, there is currently no way for artists to protect their property or get credited for their work being used in such ways. There have even been instances where AI generates a "signature" onto its "art" because the artwork its "learning from" has that artists signature on it. It's very predatory to creators who are already underpaid and underappreciated, and not something that should be supported until there are more safeguards in place. Please support artists instead. :(
exactly this
no.
It suck that people who will never know about this, The amount of time people would have spend making those arts being taken by a malicious program to profit from, We live in a very fucked up society.
As an artist myself I understand the pain a lot of artists feel
It's debatable. Artist also used other artist's works as reference. Ai also didn't directly copy other artist's works. Style shouldn't be copyrighted.
As an artist that is already having hard time breaking through and making money with my stuff- AI art absolutely terrifies me. And the way people treat it online and absolutely attack artists that dare to oppose it is concerning
There are already AIs that let you pick artists style and generate pictures as drawn by them. That is so disrespectful I cannot even express it properly
And people have the audacity to say artists are entitled and it's same as when machines started to replace workers in factories.
I genuinely wonder how long until AI generated music and movies will hit mainstream. Imagine if they fed AI all albums of your favorite band or singer and it started generating songs using their voice and music style. Would people accept is as much as they accept AI art?
Seriously, I’m getting concerned with sharing my art online now knowing that someone can just take my stuff and feed it in a machine to resemble my style. Many people are not taking it seriously enough and unfortunately it’s not going to slow down.
You don't have to be an artist and if you feel threatened by an AI I would consider 1. to work on your self esteem or 2. Improve your art
They kind of already do with the music and TV shows? It's just not up to the quality. Yet
@@soIve_et_coagula your art style isn't as unique as you think.
@@ilikedesserts Nothing is, obviously. But enough people have told me I have a very outstanding style.
You probably have figured this out Joey, but if you're still wondering why these art included random element like tattoos, spacesuit, cyberpunk, etc when it has no correlation to yourself, it's because the AI takes an (or several) art from the internet, and mashed them up together with your face slapped on top of it.
The all art done by AI is made by ward assets that are publicly available, they just learn where artist put wich detail in, colors, shadeing, and placement. That's copying art style witch all artist do, AI is just much faster at learning
From my understanding, that's not at all how AI art works. It doesn't work like a collage, where it takes existing images and splices them together. It generates the prompt independently by learning. If you want it to generate a dog, it won't just show you an image from google. The image will be completely generated by the AI itself.
@@mihailostepanovic3676 do you know dance diffusion and their disclaimer to their terms an services?
@@faust8218 yes and no, the Ai can generate novel images but also for time to time have occurance of "overfitting" that is phenomenon of which the algorithm will make a and in a way copy one of the datasets being choosen. The ratio between novel generation and copy is for now unknown and quite concerning.
@@mihailostepanovic3676 one of areas the AI has apparently analyzed as a "publicly available" domain is Pinterest, which has a shit ton of stolen art in it 🤔

Oh no as far as I know from research, Lensa is using datasets from stolen art. That means this AI was fed with art from artists without their consent let alone given compensation. These tools are only normalizing art theft and THAT'S the #1 thing I am concerned with as an artist.
It's art theft disguised as a fun trend but please be aware of what's behind all that.
They are stealing images and art from Google images and social medias. Just like how some text AI have stolen work from AO3 for datasets. As a artists it’s so disturbing how they can just steal our stuff
@@ravenpotter3 no one's stealing ur trash art, trust
@@teabbox dang these spam-text bots are spreading every. RUclips should regulate these accounts tbf.
@@ravenpotter3 image training isn't illegal in court so good luck.
Normalize. Art. "Theft".
Just to get back at you annoying artists. Your reaction warrants that your entire life's work be trained in an AI. Had you been a good sport, I would've shown mercy
Time for the fully dyed hair Joey arc.
I was all for it before I realized it's a paid service that's banking off of most likely stolen art from actual hard working artists. That's not cool, I'm a starving artist on these streets and if I saw a resemblance of my art in one of these I'd be so upset especially because it's SO popular right now.
"Holy Fuck. Why am I so hot- also"
"Dude they're nailing me..."

AI can't handle how chad Joey is
Totally!
He really is
Joey, artist here for a warning on AI.
While I can't speak for the specific AI used in this video, many other AI like it have been used for negative reasons, and they're very problematic. For example, one artist worked on a sketch of a drawing on a live stream and somebody took that image, put it through an AI like the one in this video, and then claimed it as their own, effectively stealing the hard work of another artist.
There's also the issue of HOW these AI models get trained. For instance, NovelAI uses Danbooru as a dataset without the permission of any of the artists being hosted on there, meaning that thousands upon thousands of artists and millions of artworks have been scalped and used to train an AI, meaning people can replicate those art styles with no effort at all, while the people who spent years and countless hours creating the original art get fucked over. Stable Diffusion has also been outed as having peoples medical records as part of its dataset, which I'm sure I don't need to tell you is a MASSIVE fucking no-no in this scenario.
AI art generators in general are SUPER fucking sus when it comes to shit like stealing art, so it's best to steer clear of them in the future. Many artists, including myself, DESPISE these AI because of those very reasons, yet people still religiously defend them for some reason despite the facts. It's really disheartening, and in the future I'd suggest just paying some people on Fiverr to do this or something.
I'm an artist myself but I see nothing wrong with AI using works of artist to create something new. Its the same thing with how artist gets inspired by someone else's work and using the drawings as reference to improve/train themselves.
The problem is those who use it, AI is simply a tool. Plus AI can also be beneficial to artists to create concepts or sketches before finalizing it. For example I've done a drawing myself by using a prompt I made on Dall E Mini solely to copy the color value because I suck at coloring.
Honestly it's even worse. ALL BOORUS ARE PIRACY SITE. Meaning NovelAi (and the free stuff, the WaifuDiffusion) are powered entirely by anime art piracy.
@@haveidonethisbefore You are the tool not the Ai. It use your work to learn in on itself to profit of your style. A chisel is a tool for scupturers, so does electric marble saw, but not a 3d cnc machine.
Joey, this stuff is generated using pictures and artwork found online and all without consent from any of us. I get this was all for fun and out of curiosity but this supports an industry that exploits hard work made by real people and it's starting to really hurt artists all across the world. There already are AIs trained to replicate specific artists' styles which is even more disturbing, and what's worse is the music industry managed to protect itself from at least one of these AIs by making it illegal for it to use copyrighted music but somehow the visual art medium wasn't spared and they're just taking our art and dumping it every day into their database.
If you want some portraits that are actually interesting I'm sure you have tons of followers who do commissions and would also be able to give you a discount just because they like you. Just some criticism from a long-time subscriber and artist.
The ai generator could be great to be used as a reference for artists but not as a complete art it's stealing peoples art without crediting them
I'm thinking for people to use it as concept art for video games and movies.
if you "use it for references" you become too dependent on it, and it makes it more difficult for you to actually independently think of something for yourself. At that point you would only be editing the "ideas" or "concepts" of a robot that thinks for you.
Not sure how it steals people's art. I thought it was all random with a bit of art style reference added
As someone who has experimented with these AI art programs (the proper ones, not this img-to-img nonsense) it's not as simple as stealing art. People use 4-5 artists in prompts that have artists at all, and if you look at the artwork the artist made and the AI output, you know they aren't even similar. For example, the thing that got Stable Diffusion famous overnight for a lot of people was the Big-tiddy Victorian Girl Oil Paintings, and by far the first artist in any of those prompts was Greg Rutkowski. Now go look at any of his art, it's all fantasy and dragons, hard to see how he contributed to the perfect face and massive bosoms you find on Twitter. If anything, Though you CAN put in a single artist and maybe it'll copy their style (dunno, never tried), by-and-large, the artists names are simply being added to tell the AI to change the default style that it usually uses, or even to an overall type of painting (baroque, renaissance, anime, etc), cuz lets face it, who installs several Gigabytes of software to generate the boring artwork of famous artists as-is?
If it becomes a tool for artists to create more cool shit, I’m all for it. For now, it looks like an alien collected a bunch of art and copypasted together patterns without any artistic intent. Oh wait that’s basically what it is
I'm not an Artist so I cannot say much for their perspective but I think it's fine because you can get very funny things from AI generated content.
The one he is using is quite limited, so that is why most pics looks like that, but if you take the time to learn how to use something like Stable Diffusion, you can get pretty much anything you want out of it (besides decent hands... for now). You could fine tune it to look a specific way, or most times just using the correct prompts will get you there.
Yes and No. It's not like photoshop, it's like a brain.
By your metric every artists does the exact same thing essentially.
😯
Artist can use it too improve on their art as well I believe like taking inspiration from it or something but yea when people started to make ai art and claim that it’s their work it is a pretty big problem.
i think if there was a programe that illegally downloaded all of your music and thousands of others from people in the service of people wanting to make a 30 second musical sting to post onto twitter you would be annoyed joey, it would be like your entire field is being reduced down and people are mocking you for feeling nervous or angry at people for it,
👏
most of these programs use public datasheets, so they're not illegal.
the illegal ones are bad, so no one uses them.
if your art is in a public datasheet, it means you accepted it by clicking "accept" on the terms of use you didnt read, if you're angry for that, be angry at yourself. not the devs who made the AI. they did absolutely nothing wrong or illegal.
@@Cleocyde just because it isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it’s moral.. you’re still cheating thousands of people out of their work and profiting off of it. If you want to defend that though then I guess it’s your hill to die on.
@@pokaay3163 artists agreed to have their art in datasheets tho, it's on them for accepting it. not a hill I'll die on, it's just a pure fact
"People freaking out because it's good", lmao NO. People freakin out because they use the work of artists without petmission to mash together a "new" picture
I love how even AI has zero idea how to draw hands
As an Artist, there is lots of things in tough wen it comes too this and most of it are not positive.
But i want to be very genuinely clear that i and likely other artist like my self not trying to gate-keep you from using it but we want to share our concerns of possibility IP Thievery and commission scams may become more common, like a tool that was for good intention but the possible of negative impact.
One of the big concern artist have is their art gets stolen and feeds it too this AI or be replaced by such tool - making freelance work very hard if not impossible because
game industries will rather use these tools than rather hire artist for concept and final designs, no longer be able to financial help them self by their creative skills.
Funny and cool generated photos of you tho, 4:37 looked very interesting.
But hope you have my and other artist understanding of our concerns of this.
You artist should team up and fight for your rights of which been step on by these Ai companies, Steve Zapata is forming such group and your participation would really help. Goodluck artist.
Art from indie artists were stolen to give the AI refernces, they were never paid or even asked.
they accepted the terms of use of whatever website they posted their art on. it's on them.
@@Cleocyde Love how some people have no empathy!
@@Cleocyde the use of copyrighted data cannot be use on such tech unless it is purely non-profit reasons.... of which these companies are illegally doing now.
@@notimportant0000 no, ubt it's in the TOS that images can be put in a public datasheet which can be used for whatever. in that case, AI training.
@@Cleocyde lol you wouldn't be saying that if it was you, would you?
Cool Joey, now interview artists about how they feel about ai generated art
if AI uses datasheets with art to train themselves, it means the datasheets are public.
if the datasheets are public, it means the artists accepted that their art can be used in a datasheet.
so the artists whose art is being used to train those AI's cant complain about that. they accepted that it can be used for that.
now for the other artists, don't worry, most people using AI art are either doing it for content on youtube, album covers (which no one will ever listen to anyways) and shitty profile pictures, and 90% of them wouldnt have commissioned you to make it for them anyways. someone who needs something specific will commission you. like if I want a vtuber model, I cant just ask an IA to make it for me. I'll have to give u 8k$ to make it for me cuz that's how much it costs apparently
I fully understand the concern artists feel about AI generated art. I am a hobby artist myself but I have considered selling my art. Through my journey to become a reasonably adept artist, I came across one particular phrase a lot, "use references." I never thought about any negative aspect of this so long as my art was sufficiently distinct enough from the reference. This came from using multiple references in one piece of artwork to build something distinct which could stand on its own.
I was upset at the idea of AI art, at first. Until I realized that this use of references which I, and many other artists, recommended, was identical to the process which these AIs go through. The AIs draw upon references, not only art but still images and photoshoots as well, to create artwork which is distinct from the reference. I do not think we should be holding this method of art creation to a higher standard than any other. Does it feel bad? Yes. Is it logically consistent to criticize AI art for the most often cited method of boosting one's own art? No.
@@Cleocyde lol no tons of artists post their work on their internet to share but not to be stolen, some tech devs took that art and gave it to an AI. There are plenty of artists who recognized their own art and signature style being replicated by AI without their consent and have openly spoken about it so don't make stuff up. There's even people that go to these AI and submit other people's art without the artists permission, but anything that's uploaded into the AI is now considered to belong to the program regardless if the original artist agrees to it.
@@oomay1925 and that's exactly how artists train themselves. they take art from other and use it as reference to train. AI does the exact same, so what's the difference? is it the learning speed? or is it the fact that artists refuse to share anything they made? if you look at developers, there's a saying: copy paste code made by others and pray it works." it's the same in music, y'know how many of your favorite songs use samples from other people's copyrighted and NOT legally downloadable music? nearly all of them. so what's wrong about using other artists' art to train an AI when human artists train themselves the exact same way anyways? and do you know how many artists exist? just because an artist saw something that vaguely resembles their style in AI art doesn't mean it actually comes from their art. someone else could have a similar style as well. you're not unique. there are 8 billions of us.
and for those that take art from artists and feed them to AI, it's not the AI's fault, it's the fault of the humans who fed it to it.
@@Cleocyde AI learning to make art isn't the same as a person. A person takes a lot of practice and time to put out the work they make and make it into a career. An AI is a robot that's been programmed to analyze other people's art and recreate it. It's not using artists for "reference" it's just using artists period because it's the only way it'll know how to make art if it can't copy what others are doing- and if you're an artist and you're cool with sharing your art to an AI that's fine by me but there's a bunch of artists who aren't okay with seeing their art being used as "reference" ie replicated by AI. Many artists are willing to share their art, they share it on social media all the goddamn time. They have commissions, stores, etc. For developers, the reason why they copy paste is because coding takes a lot of copy pasting to make games, it's an entirely different field. For music, people do use samples that are often free to use and in the end its still the music producer, a person, that comes up with the end result to make it all. And ya there is an issue with people that keep feeding other people's art to the AI, including the developers that made the AI itself and trying to dismiss it as "well its not the AIs fault its ppl" like ya I think most the anger is towards the people that use AI knowing full well it's stealing from a lot of artists. If you know that much than why are defending the AI like it's actually some sentient being with feelings 🙄
Joey using it for fun and somehow people just found a place to put out all their frustration about this AI app on him.
As an artist it really hurts to see people defending these Ai art generators. These Ais are “learning” based on real art in a field that is already underappreciated and underpaid. The creators of the AI are not given permission or even credit to the artist and photographers that steal from. The AI is not generating art on its own, it's creating “amalgamation and approximation pixel by pixel”. Just because someone posts their art on the internet doesn’t make it fair use. These tech companies are trying to use these loopholes/ gray areas to bypass it while making a quick buck and hurting the REAL people involved.
It’s just really upsetting from an artist perspective that people are defending tooth and nail for these Ais. It’s like people want to see an underpaid class of people out of a job.
Like anyone could use these generators based on someone else’s hard work and sell it as their own! Does that even make sense??? How is that fair!!! It’s so demoralizing to see people brush away my concerns and fears that something I have so much passion for isn’t a big issue in their eyes.
I mean I get where the people who are arguing for the Ai are coming from, from a technical and legal level you can’t copyright art style. But I just hate how some people hold no respect for the time an passion artist put into their work just to be compared or is some cases replaces by these computer generated images.
And for those who are speaking about references, that’s a different conversation completely. Which I am willing to have.
Sorry for the rant, it’s just really close to home.
So in another alternative universe, you would be a Korean actor or model according to this AI generator. 😃
Also to the people who are commenting about the art thief because of AI art, thank you for spreading the word and a reminder to all beginner and older artist to ALWAYS tag your art.
Make the tags BOLD and OBNOXIOUS (Deviantart style obnoxious) enough for those using your art can not escape the fact that they are using your work with out their permission.
Its one thing when your doing it for fun, like Joey and other RUclipsrs are, its another when you DELIBERATELY say its your art when its not. -_-
You forgot about him being an astronaut in an alternate Universe according to the AI.
Why are we automating things people enjoy doing instead of things that could actually benefit humanity?
3:00 that's just long long man
AI is already being creating music now. How would Joey feel about this? They're trained on Thousands of songs taken directly from the internet, very likely including Joey's music. This will hurt musicians as well, especially those small composers making stuff for indie games, very small beatmakers who make enough to live off of, but not much more, heck even bigger artists. As someone who works in IT, and as an artist, there needs to be more awareness of how these algorithms are made, and even if it doesn't hurt your favorite artist or musician, it is hurting those smaller ones who you may not know now, but could've been much bigger.
If the music is good and is not just a copypaste i dont see a problem, you cant replace completely a human work and details...
Ah and small beatmakers use a lot of samples, not like 100%original their stuff🙄.
@@imthagala not just small beatmakers, literally everyone uses samples for everything.
developpers too, they copy paste a LOT of stuff from other developpers. seems like only drawing artists refuse to share anything other than shitty tutorials that dont help anyone
The YTer samuraiguitarist did a vid on it, and barring the ethical implications, he found that the AI generated music would just be putting random chords without much sense of musical taste and composition. It's nice for a fun experiment, but hardly anything to create music with.
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 Yeah, it's far from perfect luckily. I work in IT, and got a chance to meet with a guy behind a lot of these AI projects, and currently behind the scenes a lot of companies are trying to improve the Music AI to create full songs that are much better, but they aren't open to the public yet. I'm more worried to see where it could and will end up, and how it could hurt artists of any size.
AI is not going to hurt musicians solely thanks to the existence of the notoriously litigious Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Any AI dev trying to scrape music willy-nilly is guaranteed to be sued to hell and back. In fact, dev of Stable Diffusion is only limited to using CC/voluntarily provided music for their dataset. They just don't dare.
Visual artists have no such body protecting them, notorious though orgs like RIAA can be.
its not the Lensa AI that is good. Its the millions of artists who's art was stolen. Btw, using Lensa AI give the company full rights to use your likeness now. Read the fine print Joey
This is a fun video, BUT as an artist and full time illustrator, I’m incredibly concerned and against these AI programs. Why? I’ll talk about one of the many issues some of us are dealing with:
Even tho AI has its flaws and still in the “beginning” stages, the general audience doesn’t know the fundamentals or basics in art and design, so it’s very easy for people to get lured and scammed. I’m already seeing AI art being posted in art groups in social media, and these wannabe or fake “artists” are trying to pass AI artwork as original art to get easy customers 🤨 Professionals can usually spot fake or AI generated art, but the majority of people don’t see the difference, look at the art and immediately respond with “Oh wow, cool art bro! You’re so talented!” and it gets 500+ likes and shared all over the platform. Meanwhile, the small group of professional artists notice it’s AI generated artwork, call it out as such, but the person who posted it defends his/her “artwork” as “originally made using AI software” 🤔 This is not a joke, it’s happening all over social media and at an increasing rate.
The fact that these AI “artists” are trying to SELL this artwork when the program is doing all the work and technically STEALING different art styles and illustrations from other sources is what really pisses me off. This is just the tip of the iceberg, because the music and writing communities are also seeing AI generated programs that are being developed and coming in the near future.
Please be careful and keep a watchful eye, because AI is going to get better to the point where even the best in his/her field will not be able to tell what is made by machine or man ): The creative industry is going to be at risk and there will be less jobs for our future generations if we don’t hurry up and demand restrictions on AI before things get out of hand.
AI as a tool can immensely help in the illustration field for concept design, background illustration, etc. As it is now being mainly used to mimic artstyle from specific artist, and being the foundation for many people to call themselves artist without putting the efforts or the time, it is a piece of shit that should be contained until further notices.
crazy how people defend ai art when all it does is steal artwork and then create amalgamations through the stolen artwork
Inspiration*
I remembered some reasons as to why are 1. It's easier, 2. It's cheaper, 3. They also thought AI only referencing othet arts just like how artists referencing other art forms. Man I can see why AI can easily takes over humanity now.
It is not just amalgamations, it is studying the different art pieces and coming up with a completely new piece of art. Just like humans do but at a much larger pace. Though I do agree with you that this is really controversial as it will have a massive effect on the livelihood of artists in the future. Either the artists will adapt or just not be able to keep up. But then again, advancements in technology have time and time again taken away a lot of jobs so it is really not something new.
It can be used to make good reference images and ideas for compositions.
Those are things worth defending. Imagine you have a idea in your head, but you don't know how to put it correctly on paper. Go to a AI, Generate a idea and you have a guide now. AI is very good to cut some steps and save time.
We should never defend their use to take away jobs or steal artworks, but for references, is a tool very much welcomed in my eyes
Much like real artists, it seems, AI cannot draw hands correctly
Just wait lol the artist are doomed... Im sad for them to get replaced but as a consumer its amazing especially when i dont have money
@@ZackySena as an artist this is a harrowing sentiment to see
Well. AI still can't beat humans in long run when it comes to art. Error in small human part like hands & feet means the AI is still far from perfect of even complete. So the artists won't have to worry.
At least I have the right numbers of fingers on my hands
@@Stellaris556 Far from perfect is an exaggeration. If anything, it's pretty damn close to perfection.
Looks like it isn't that AI. However I have heard that when you use Image AI, then that AI's company can use your images without your permisions in other places than just for AI. Also there could be other worrying stuff that I can't remember.
Companies are funding non-profit datasets to be used for commercial reason of which they are doing now.

First NFT merch and now AI art?
Blockchain + Machine learning will be nuts!
We shouldn't be encouraging AI art, it's being fed with artists' sample (who worked very hard for hundreds and thousands of hours) without their consent and generate art.
They can't generate music cause of big label company, so they decided to do this cause artists can't do anything
It seems people forgot faster than I expected that you shouldn't support AI art, but who cares as long as it's content, I'm not even surprised at this point
I think this kind of programs are cool. They are funny to mess with and you don't have to waste money on artists.
@@IppoX90 "waste money"
@@orange_piano Yep. Did I stutter?
There is no reason to not support it, just don't support stealing art.
@@IppoX90 can't stutter through text
People, please just look a little into the process of AI like this app, the 'styles' that people see are not invented by the machine, you feed images of yourself into a library that already contains a lot of artwork from artists (without permission or compensation) which it takes the styles and colour themes from, these are not making something new, it is mashing together images that already exist. The music industry was insanely quick to shut AI music down but visual artists are unwillingly contributing to something the public is funding and spreading this while blind to what is really happening
"these are not making something new, it is mashing together images that already exist"
So basically it's no different than a human artist. All art is derivative in some form or another, whether it's made by a human or a machine.
You're wrong on so many levels:
The dystopian music copyright system is nothing to be proud of. In 2022 there ISN;T a music industry outside of labels. You don't need to protect millionares.
AI music still exists and is getting better, it's just not mature yet.
AIs are just like brains with training. Should we make brains illegal?
@@first__lastI'm going to try and explain why that is wrong and I hope you understand and don't jump to more reactionary responses.
Art is, by most cases, a form of self expression that comes in many forms like music, visual arts and performance, in order for someone to do this it uses reference from real life, other people and personal experiences to guide you in your creativity.
If you are being pedantic, everything that exists around us is derivative of something, art uses information around us, mixed with experiences and personal flair to craft something new, would you say artists like Da Vinci are derivative for his flying machine because it looks like bat?
AI would not be able to make art if it didn't a bank of artists images feeding it directly, it doesn't understand reference, people are not perfect machines, even the most accurate photo realistic painter will not get every detail that a high quality camera can capture.
Also to say that all art is derivative is a very pessimistic view.
@@flutterwind7686 another amazing take, you are full of wisdom.
I never said the music industry was good, I and many others have noticed that is has been stopped (or at least suppressed as you claim AI music still exists) and I am not defending millionaires, who the hell do you think is funding these AI art generators?
So you are saying that AI and human brains work the same, that information a child takes in is the same as how and AI learns?
@@kierjw Not this model, but I'm saying that it does generalize patterns and even adds creativity!
It's not a dry collage, it's much more like the mammalian image system (maybe no human just yet, but very close)
AI generators will get better until you literally can't tell the difference.
We're just 15 or so years away from that reality. It's not JUST copy pasting images.

@6:41 joey as celestial dragon
you have no idea how much A.I is scaring the art industry
As an artist, can confirm. I am very scared.
While this is a very fun video, AI art steals from actual artist - maybe in a future video, you could commission a few artists to do anime renditions of you!
He did commission alot of artist before in fiverr.
Joey you supported the twitter art community so much I doubt you did this knowing about how AI art affects us but it’s still a little painful (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)
I’m not for the AI art because it’s crossing the line about using real artist work. But I will say, Joey should dye his hair silver.
Ahh yes the ol' instead of paying artist to make art for you let's steal others art to generate new art and call it mine.
"I spent time and effort until I found one that looks good to me, I'm an artist now!(?)"
😒I've seen many ppl on tiktok now with this mindset that are claiming to be artists now and they're not.
I know Joey isn't the one behind it or would intentionally promote the theft of other artist's art, I'm just venting and spreading awareness.
Well boys being an illustrator was good but we've been replaced
I honestly dont understand all the doom posting about ai art. Most of it looks kinda bad, some of it that looks good is easily identifiable as ai art. Patrons of artists value the artstyle and authenticity of the art. Ai generated stuff is touched only by greedy corpos or people looking to meme a bit. This entire thing is overblown
Oh, yeah, it sorta is. It's definitely an "artist versus AI bros" thing more than an "art versus AI art"-type of deal. It's more of the artists wanting to have respect/ownership over their work versus AI bros' "art should be free" and using art pieces to train their AIs sans permission. I feel like if this situation was handled with more respect from both sides, it wouldn't have exploded as much. But you know the Internet. once a fire starts, people will only feed it.
It's definitely a shame, since there is potential, but things like the Kim Jung Gi situation stops any sort of growth between the two
It will get better tho, until we can even animate using AI.
this comment section is about to get fun
I know this doesn't affect you but Please don't support AI art Joey. Actual artists who train for years are suffering
They're using your face as a reference and collect some data from Artist around the globe through internet to fit the art that you pick, which means the ai is stealing from other artist without their consent, I don't blame you for being oblivious to this kind of cases, even authorities haven't keep up with ai crime problems. Though just for you to know, this is a crime that hasn't tackled in broader prospects.
That is not how ai work my friend
@@subaruextra5780 tell me then
this AI art fad is such bullshit, this is insulting and demeaning to artists everywhere.
AI art is going to be horrible for so many artists. I heard something similar happened with the translator industry where translators got paid less after AI translation became better. They started to get translation editing jobs rather than translation jobs.
I think there’s also a few more issues of copyright/ownership as well as stealing art to feed into the AI. People are not going to want to pay for art if they can use AI to get it for free.
I think a lot of youtubers would feel different if this AI was taking there videos and creating new content using there work.
This is not intended to be bashing Joey or others who are reacting to this but for a lot of artists this is super scary and will drastically impact their livelihood.

It is so annoying when you see "I wanted to learn to draw next year, but seeing ai art...no, imma not learn to draw". Like, ffs, art is not about the final result, but about the way you got to it. Trying to see different things, it is satisfying to see something you made from nothing, to see how you improve, not about the final result, else every single artist would have quit a **long time** ago
its so sad that art is stolen just to create mediocre "ai art" if u could call it art
I don't care that AI exists. However, I care that most of these apps and websites with databases meant to create "artwork" are stealing artists work without their permission. Also, I don't think its OK for non-artists to use them and claim that it is art either. It's just a series of prompts or (usually) stolen images to create something. It keeps getting worse and now it is a trend.
As an artist who's also into tech, this development is both super interesting and extremely sad. We see the beginnings of similar tech in writing and music, which slowly leads to us removing meaning from the art humans create. The beauty of any piece of art is the work and the feelings put into the piece by the artist. Even if the artist may have arguably worse technique than a well trained AI, there will never be intent or emotion in this kind of art and I think it's weird how we ourselves walk to that kind of future happily. It's as if people are starting to forget what attracted us to art in the first place. Probably because the digital age far removes us from the sources and feeds us more art than ever for the sake of quick entertainment and consumption.
Uh, human-made art isn't going away just because an algorithm is generating pretty looking images (of your trash waifu). Most self-loving artists don't concern themselves with what others think and just make art that they want to see exist. I'd also argue that people will become far better art critics than before and grow a more discerning eye for the arts as time goes on.
@@HandleToBeDetermined Of course human made art will not go away, but it still feels like more and more people might just not care enough to discern what is artificial and what is not. The fact that a majority of people eat up the same generic cookie-cutter stuff again and again is perfectly shown by the success of marvel movies imo. I believe many people will not care, especially if the art has more of a supporting role, which ultimately still result in artist losing jobs. Not all artists work on stand-alone paintings or illustrations after all.
In many fields of entertainment, art has become something to consume, not appreciate.
2nd pic of Joey....Long.....Long......Maaaaannnnnnn!
I'm sure that this is not the intent, but this video feels like a huge "screw you" to artists, not just the AI art but with how Joey pokes fun at artists all like "you're gonna be jobless very soon!"
I really enjoyed when you commissioned various artists to draw silly things. Even if it was silly, it was still supporting them and you could tell how much soul was put into each piece. Is it that easy to throw those people to the wayside now that you can stroke your own ego at the press of a button using soulless amalgamations?
I don't mean any ill intent, as I'm sure there wasn't any on Joey's side either, but I am a bit disappointed.
It's called sarcasm my guy.
@@ShiitakeTakes maybe Joey shoud've know better. Unless you blindly follow his dumbass takes.
Lmao artists have nothing to fear. We’re able to tell stories and convey feelings the way AI could never
True. Even if an AI is specifically trained using all our images, they can never be me or you. Just a cheap facsimile.
@@HandleToBeDetermined good thing about AI is they don't act like Divas with huge egos
The art community on Instagram shared that a game creating company already released two artists because of cheaper Ai art
Its cheaper. Unfortunately thats all that counts to some or most people
Why does some of these make me think of Markiplier?
Personally, I’m against the widespread use/distribution of AI art generators and AI art, mainly due to how hard it is to control and the many ethical issues that stem from it. From what I’ve seen in the comments, much of AI art generator databases are made of stolen, non-consented artworks available on the Internet space. Proceeding on, while these artworks are used to develop the program, the end product cannot be used commercially due how it was made by blurring the lines between copies of artworks and mixing them together. While I feel it’s fine with people using it for fun or artists using it for inspiration (note: purely inspiration), there should be no monetary entanglement anywhere. Not to downplay the programmers who made the AI (especially if that’s what you like to do), but there’s definitely not enough rules yet to define the lines between what can be done, what is banned, what is allowed etc. I will admit I’m not very knowledgeable on the scope of how AI generated art can influence the industry and individual artists but I’ll just leave this here. Hopefully no argument appears and Imma peace out.
(A little something here cuz like, is there T&C for posting your art on the internet or social media? Everything you post is subject to your own responsibility? How far does copyright apply and does it save your case for suing? I’ve decided to stop my comment there cuz like there’s so so many things to consider and explain in text form it’s busting my brain. Props to those who went and argued in long texts for the past few hours o_o)
That second picture of Joey kinda has the "LONG LOOONG MAAAAAAN" vibe
Wow joey really just took a massive shit on artist livelihoods.
I was thinking of learning to draw next year......yeah no nvm
Why? It is a fun and relaxing hobby, it isn't about the final result, but about how you achieve it. I absolutely love just to listen to some relaxing music and be in my thoughts with the pencil in hand for hours, just drawing folds, or shading. If it was about how it looked at the end every artist would have quit when they started drawing
Learn to code, that's where the future is
I don't have anything against Joey, but I just wasn't feeling this video, you know? The whole AI an art debate for a background, Joey making a joke that "artists are terrified because AI is good" and the sort... Not terribly vining with the video.
this is only a matter of time till anime studios will replace employees with machines
and go d knows what advanced tech we will have in the near future
im so scared of the technology that we are getting that you don't even know if people in public places are real or androids disguised as humans
it's just sooo mind blowing how much technology advanced and it will keep on advancing
one things for sure tough
if robots will start to take over the world
ill fly to mars and move there hahaha
hopefully it won't happen
well atleast for as long as ill be alive that is
We wouldn’t be getting bad cgi anymore then and new seasons will come very quick. Sounds very good.
Ok 👌
@@c.k.1933 And how can you say for sure that the exact thing won't happen to A. I as well? I just wanted to remind you that the tool also makes similar mistakes ranging from poor quality. But I guess you forgot about that and was just more focused on putting down artist instead.
@@funanimation8253 AI progresses very fast. It gets better every year. Soon it will be perfect and draw hands and other smaller details as well.
@@c.k.1933 I mean I'm not sure about that. It's going to take it a good while for it to master drawing hands. You would think that ALREADY the tool can master it but no, it too is struggling just like how regular artist are still trying to figure out how to display a well properly drawn hand depicted in their work. And hands are pretty hard to draw. Like seriously hard.
For someone who was so vocal in the early days of other gross internet fads like NFT’s and being so intensely against them, I’m surprised Joey doesn’t seem to know how shady and unethical AI art is… 😢 Disappointing.
The amount of times Joey was "daddy" XD
Sure, the AI is neat and interesting, but I do feel and understand for the artists who do feel threatened by this.
It's like as if an esport team got into a big tournament with Tool-Assisted Superplay or powerful AI.
Tool Assisted speed runs and complex AI for games can be definitely interesting, but it is in its own separate territory.
Arguments about culture, ideals, authenticity, human progression, business, and what not aside, I think it's a complex thing.
I think having a recovery plan for artists who will be affected at the very least, would be nice.
The last gripe I heard about AI was the fact that art sites like Deviant Art now have AI technology as a preset in people's profiles meaning the moment you start posting anything, your work could be used to train the AI unless you uncheck something in your profile preferences for each piece. I think People just don't like Ai being used to plagiarize work or that an individuals art is being used for data without permission. I don't think its all bad but I understand why artists aren't happy about this.
people just need to learn how to read the conditions of use of these websites.
they dont read them, accept them, then complain when something they accepted comes up. it's their own fault this is happening.
@@Cleocyde My understanding on the matter is DA hid this deep in their terms and conditions. While its there to read, it isn't the easiest to see and thats why people feel its a bit underhanded.
@@Cleocyde If someone breaks your home, takes all of the shit you own, and then AFTER THE FACT leaves a note saying "You could have avoided this if you had contacted me a week prior to me stealing your shit that you didn't want your shit stolen"... it's the person who got their shit stolen's fault in your eyes?
@@SirFenV if I signed my contract and it was written on the last page "some dudes will come and take all your shit at somz point" and I didnt read it and signed it regardless, then yes. it is my fault.
@@Cleocyde The issue is that most people that are apart of DA have been apart of DA for YEARS prior to this being a thing. This wasn't IN their contract, this is more equatable to an addendum that was made and never puclicly acknowledged. You're blaming the average person for not being aware of something that didn't exist when they signed said contract.
Sorry joey But, Not us seeing joey use stolen art works in his pfp. Knowing Joey likes things in a superficially way. Cus Joey is a cool dude and after seeing some of his videos (interview with Japanese mafia for a better example) he likes things just because they look cool the mafia dude even called him out on it and it hasnt really changed since. And yeah it does look cool(because it was fed amazing art by real people to generate it ) but also making a video about this and not doing much about it or at least a disclaimer (although we know they paid 4 bucks for the ai) and he obviously didn't know much about the art world. It's a great example of a normal person's perspective hopefully the ai generators stop taking money and put in the @ and credits of artists artwork that was used to give ur generated image inspiration. Because when u type in some words it need to take references to create your image. Hope this changes so we can look at those artist and give them money and commissions and u can find a piece thats really truley fit for you and made for you and made with real care. bc that is what art should if comercialized for clients, branded for you and only u can use it. For more public art works there is a website for that and use can use it, if u don't like anything maybe find artits on ig or do a reverse image google seach find their website and other artist along the way become friends with artists and find out how they make something and the process, or learn ur self. If u don't want to learn then, u must understand at some lever that art can be difficult and u dont wanna mess it up, and u if u think that some art is easy to make then u understand that art can be broken doen to simple piece and still convey something. U need to understand that artists values themselves just as much as u value ur time, as the money u don't wanna give them or the time u can't wait for an art piece. All the time they put and what they learn u don't have that that's what artist sell and that is valuable.
now imagine a future where being an artist is now extinct as a job, that is the real post-apocalyptic future.
artists are not "scared" because its really good, more like because it steals people's work and they get away with it. and now you encouraging it even more. i know its doesn't matter to you joey but i really am disappointed with this.
Bro seeing Kim Jung Joey is something else
Yep, automation is not just gonna take labor jobs, it'll take ALL jobs. Saddle up gentlemen.

This video's title should be "Simping for myself for 15 mins straight" xD
the same way artist have a proof of how they made their art (tools, psd, etc…) AI generators should have a file that details the processing of said created art everytime it does (it shouldn’t be a problem in fact).
Please don't support art theft like this
I get genuine anxiety when I draw bc of this stuff
Others have figured out that currently AI art can’t do hands and feet properly.
I still think it is a good tool for quickly churning out sketches and ideas for concept art, or before making a proper commissioned piece.
f to all the artist who got their art stolen by A.I :((
Thanks for supporting and advertising AI stealwere! I would love to know how the mangakas and other artists feel about this..maybe do a video about that.
mangaka and other artists did the same as those AI's to learn drawing. they took other drawings and either used them as reference, or straight up traced them to learn. only difference with the AIs is that they do it legally using public datasheets, and much faster.
don't worry tho, literally no one is ever gonna use it for final design. maybe for concept art or stuff like that, but absolutely not for final designs, except maybe covers for albums no one will ever listen to or shit like that
I'm a freelance comic artists. I don't see AI as a huge threat in my work.
Making Comics and Mangas are way too complicated to be produced by an AI. lols.
Making a Manga is already like making a movie or show.
AI is only good at rendering art. That's all it has, and that's the limit of the AI's.

Remember when photography came out? Bruh that shit was wild.
Jokes aside, I'm sure Joey is just playing around. I believe AI should be used as a tool to assist artists, but again, the same AI has been trained by the works from hundreds of artists without their permission...
I like how he always says stuff like "omg he's way hotter than i could ever look" while looking exactly the same in real life

10:33 Dr Jelly.... IN SPAAAAAAAACE!!!
artist here! so personal opinion, while yes AI is going to hit our industry HARD its also going to be a good thing for traditional artists long term! Without sounding rude as someone whos been in the industry for a bit now ( illustrator/splash art) one thing I have always noticed is how many artist that cant actually draw or have minimal ability thanks to the digital tablets. Most of the time they are taking images and tracing over or painting over and while this does increase speed and output it kills creativity and drawing ability. with AI getting smarter each day why pay someone who essentially traces images to do work that you can have done in seconds for free any style you want? Once it evolves to a certain point and starts taking over in a few years i feel like people will want that more tradition feel again that imagine that no one else has, the only copy, something that has heart and soul put into it. While digital can produce AMAZING results for artists without the fear of ruining a piece it always feels so souless and cheap to me and once AI is everywhere i feel like others will start looking at it the same way and want the feeling of a tangible unique piece once more. However that being said i think art will be a bit of a dying industry once AI takes over cause while the niche for traditional will be on the rise the skill ceiling that comes along with it will be a lot higher and that will be a huge drop off for most artists that have reached there max potential. So to any other artists out there that read this pick up a pencil and pad and start lvling up your skills cause when the storm hits you want to be able to weather it!
