We've been through this time after time. For example, social media. It caused bigger issues than it solved. It promised connectedness but it gave us loneliness. It exacerbated the mental health crisis. It polarised public discourse. I could go on and on.
I'm no Luddite. I've been working in tech for 20 years. But more and more I'm seeing technological 'progress' that further detaches us from our humanity and from each other... always under the guise of connectedness, convenience, entertainment, safety, etc. In the end it won't live up to its promises, it will make us all miserable, it will get misused & abused, advertising will be inescapable and it will introduce a range of massive new problems that we've never even imagined.
It's time we put much more of of our efforts into making this civilisation *sustainable* in the truest sense of the word. And that means *questioning* new technology instead of always just blindly accepting it.
Dude created better VFX at the age of 11 than the VFX artists at CW
better than marvel too
one thing I feel tech people talking about ai and artistic creativity is they keep forgetting about one thing. Artistic creativity is not about improvement is about creation. The difference between art and technology is that unlike technology there is no improvement seeking. When you look at the technology from 1960 you can tell clearly that the technology we have now is much better, but you couldn't say that all the movies or fashion collections from the current times are better than those made in the 20th century because that is not how art works,that is how Technology works. Another thing being dismissed is that art and cretivity is not only about having a good idea, but taking control over it and going in a creative journey in the process of making it. You can ask ai to imagine a black flower with purple spikes but how you imagine it (the size, the shades of purple, the position of the flower...) that's what makes art enjoyable for the creator. I believe art will nit die as long as there is a public for it because quite frankly art is not necessary for survival so the only reason we have artists is beacause we want to be artist and people want to have artists. Art is a beautiful way to express our particukar humanity.
It was very interesting to see where you are coming from and where we might be going. AI is really amazing, even when we are still on the early beginning of AI. I hope in the futures people are less afraid of AI than they are today.
For progress together we evolve
The wheel was our first solution
Together trouble we can resolve
Artificial Intelligence is evolution
Together problems we can solve
Bro your so good! I think this is the best time to be in the VFX industry. Literally can’t imagine anyone not going frame by frames to roto, or even changing day to night in few minutes! This is wild for me, I’m jealous they’re getting it this easy 😮 👏🙌🙌good work brother @bilawalsidhu

These AI tools are not supercharging the imagination, they are making it vestigial.
From my experience of the last 9 months. No, my imagination has never been as open and diverse as it is today. Why? For example on image generation with Stable Diffusion, you got with every generation with the same prompt totally different results and because they are often not exactly that what you had in mind their results can be very inspiring. As long as the AI can't read your mind, it will never create exactly what you imagine in your head. AI is here much more like a commissioned work, but with the possibility to intervene yourself, e.g. with Inpaint.
All I've done with chatgpt so far is argue with it! 😂
.😀😀😀
Awesome talk man - excited to see you make waves in this space
Honestly with you, I am not so impressed from videos and images that look like a cartoon. Many people are using it, thinking that will increase or capture the attention audience, to me is negative, I prefer real pics. I like instead the job the Adobe has made with their product, you can photoshop an image just with the power of typing. That's super cool, but on real pictures that keep them real.
Interesting
Wow ❤
Yes, because digital artist already ear so little from Hollywood studios and their blockbusters, that you might as well have 12 year olds doing it on their iPhones and paying them with Likes. 😩
Why, it will even make War look good!
or make the enemy even more monstrous.
war is beautiful already - can't wait to see what AI can come up with next
Thanks
Meanwhile, i am doing math thinking what is his age right now 🧐
11 in 2001... 32 now
@@cloudsofsunset7323 i thought 42 , my bad lol
Yessss bro thank youuuu I likeeee you
Superb 👍🏼
I can’t wait to see how this will transform the video game industry, opening it up so smaller companies can make incredible games! ❤
Nice one 🙏🙌
RIP Douglas Lenat.
Nice
Looks hella ugly to me, but promising. If this continues, then it might be almost like reality.
Yeah, we are still in the very early beginning of this tech. But as fast it developed over the last month... who know how good it will be already in a year or two. But I guess the better the quality get the slower is the development to get even better.
This is AMAZING! These tools will democratize and drastically improve workflows in multiple industries! 👏 Well done!
I am first viewer and this is my first comment
Shame on you TED. Promoting ideas and creativity isn't done by promoting those who build their platform by stealing from creatives and destroying their livelihoods at the same time. SHAME.
Why is TED so deadset on selling us this AI/ML technology? If you want to do art, pick up a pencil, a brush, a piece of clay, or what have you. Start doing it, instead of getting a computer to do a thing for you, and go "hey I did a thing!"
Some people are disabled…? Some people don’t have the talent to be able to visualise their thoughts and this is great technology to be able for more people to doing that.
It all comes down to who owns the original art, scan, or photos that the AI programs use. Will devs work with original artists or fight them the whole way?
@@saintfitt9017 Poor excuses considering the plethora of disabled artists, from the blind to those missing limbs, to Paul Alexander who is paralyzed from the neck-down due to polio and lives in an iron lung.
EVERYONE who can move even a single part of their body, is capable of making art. Not everyone will be the next Van Gogh or Frida Kahlo, but that's life. Not every coder will be the next Bill Gates either. Everyone can make their own art, and it will actually mean something if YOU make it. Telling disabled people that they can't make art is extremely rude, don't you think? Like you look down them.
You also mention talent - "Talent" is a lie. No one is born with a talent, or a gift, that magically makes them better at drawing, writing, or sculpting. Ask anyone who has done any work of any kind, including art: It requires practice, and years of it. Being disabled doesn't make you any less capable of practicing, it only means you need to find a different way of holding the brush. Say, use your feet instead of arms, or your mouth if you have neither
All this technology does, is steal the works of human artists, and uses it to outcompete them by creating an endless stream of barely-decent images. A human artist can't compete with a machine that pushes out a hundred images an hour. Especially when anything a human makes, is just used to further fuel it. It doesn't give greater freedom to anyone, because it gives them nothing they couldn't already do before.
instead of being useless and creating something that a computer could create in seconds maybe it is better to use your time to create something unique using all the available tools.If Picasso had AI he would use it to create amazing art.
@@saintfitt9017I've known people with ALS who have one working muscle that do art pixel by pixel on MS Paint. Anyone can do art without using tools that stole the art of others. The issue is that it takes a lot of patience to become good, but taking shortcuts isn't the answer.
I am sick to death of TED's focus on AI generation. It's one thing to share automation tech, yes. But in an era where I am watching artists have their work and careers and dedication ripped out from under them and AI generated art is destroying and cheapening the value of creation, TED has been horrifically fanboyish about the processes that cause it. There are some wonderful parts of AI and AI generation, even in the creative field. But all I've seen is positive and myopic exuberance. Maybe feature some of the examples of how people have had to get highly creative to avoid their work being stolen, maybe talk about all the people who have been violated through deepfake po r noGraphy. Talk about how it's enabling scams. Share with us why moderation and humanity have to direct AI in the right direction.
That's just the disadvantage of progress: there are always some professions that fall by the wayside. A lot of professions have died out or changed fundamentally in the last 20 years alone. That is simply the way things are. Just because some creative people are now being hit doesn't change anything. But it also leads to the fact that always something new is created and therefore also new professions, in which the knowledge of creative people is very valuable.
@@blizado3675 It's strange to me that 'progress' itself isn't questioned more often. What exactly are we progressing towards? And... why?
At this point, the future looks more dystopian than utopian. By most accounts, we're facing many simultaneous existential crises, each as a direct result of our misuse of technology... take your pick from nuclear conflict, repeatedly poisoned freshwater sources, microplastics in everything (including throughout the ocean & even in your blood), plummeting fertility rates (with average Western men's sperm counts on trend to reach zero around 2045), desertification, erosion, climate change, etc. A massively underrated one is the destruction of soil on an unbelievable scale by industrial agriculture, which I could go on about for hours (this is a way bigger issue than most people realise).
Technology *always* comes with negative trade-offs that often match (or even outweigh) the positives. But for some reason, we become enamoured with the positives and we rarely pay enough attention to the negatives.
Anyway... the point is, question progress. Don't blindly accept it as being inherently positive.
God help 🤱🧠🔊💯 ai
Zerg swarm 😂
Ok
Awe
I'm tired of all these AI videos. AI isn't meant to replace the human collective consciousness. Creativity can't be captured by some machine cobbling together our thoughts and ideas into a horrible, amorphous, mocking simulacrum of actual, intentional art.
Art is, like, the big thing we do NOT need to outsource. It's difficult to do, sure, but the goal should be to do less menial work so we can make more art. Not have the machines do the art so we can do the menial work!!!
now you can trace art without worries 😁
Now you can even get the robots to trace art FOR you! Yippee!
TED, you need to stop with the Metaverse/ Cripto/Blockchain/AI salespitchers... It's getting ridiculous and sounding desperate af.
How exciting!
A TED talk about stolen art using datasets? Wow. What’s he going to do next, pirate music?
