I'm getting real sick of it to be honest. Definitely getting sick of the fake images with "great photography" as a caption (and then it'll be some weird image of a baby and Labrador or a fake person building some supposed giant Jesus-shaped sand sculpture...and people fall for it). It's all just internet litter. However, while these AI image numbnuts keep littering the internet, I'm gonna continue to draw and paint.

I've used AI art for a while, and I'm starting to get fatigued by it. It's only good for doing certain types of poses and certain types of characters. After a while, my mind has started glossing over AI images, and the human created ones really stand out. I think this will happen to everyone eventually, so that images made with AI will fade into the background.

>lowering the prices bro, ive seen people getting Way mooooore clients when they do it, and everytime they post thyyhave comissions open, they ran out of slots, even when they do not have a big following.

An AI model will never say, "No, I refuse to draw a damsel in distress wearing bikini chainmail armor because that's problematic."

Having spent the last couple of years obsessivly looking at AI art I am getting a sense that it's hit some kind of plateau- I see a lot 'rendering' improvements in terms of getting details and surfaces better- but in terms of storytelling and narrative most AI art fails badly- AI images don't seem to hold my attention in the same way a well crafted human image does. Non Artists take the view that visual Art is all about technique and rendering but that's not really true- what makes a good piece of art is it's ability to suggest narrative, to convey a sense of meaning- very few AI generated images seem to posses this quality- they are the visual equivilent of the 'show not tell' problem in literature- just as a good writer will not simply tell you things but show you things, a good work of art does not simply display picture elements in a formal and literal way- it shows those elements 'in medais res' as part of an ongoing story. AI may never be able to do this because it does not really 'think' the way human artists think- for example to successfully depict multiple characters interacting in an image you need to develop some 'theory of mind' regarding those characters and the nature of their relationship to each other, then compose and light that image to successfully convey those relationships- human artists do this instinctively- but getting an AI to incorporate these kinds of considerations into it's outputs may be for ever beyond reach- certainly these kinds of insights are well beyond the capabilites of the current generation of AI Art programmes.

Hi, Sean! About working quick... I noticed, when you want to block the sillouette, you tend to manually select parts of it. A tip, that works for me: I select all the blank background space wiht autoselect tool and invert the selection (ctrl=shift=I in Clip Studio Paint). And I have selection of the character in less than a minute. I'm pretty curious if ot works for you as well.

I want to thank you for your videos, they’ve helped me have a more positive outlook on this situation! I’ve never given up on my goal of becoming a comic artist but despite that this ai stuff still caused quite some anxiety. Thankfully the ai act passed in Europe, which means they have to be transparent about their training data and need authorization of the copyright holder to use their stuff. It’ll be interesting to see what will happen when these companies (at least in europe) have to adhere to these laws. And again thank you for your what you do!

I just surround myself with people who also hate it and create real art. I block every account associated with it and look away. It’s not gonna stop me from creating art. It sucks though.

It’s honestly kinda depressing going on google images for anime art always has soulless AI slop amongst art with real human passion and talent. Good thing is however, google search allows you to filter out specific keywords using - along with the tags in double quotes. I honestly can’t wait to see the downfall of AI and it looks like it’s already inbreeding with its own data.

These days even though there is still a slight worry within me, I chose not to care about AI art and decided to focus more on myself. Your videos, some insight from other artists, the Metal Gear series, and the people who truly adore my art have fully re-ignited the almost dying flame of creativity within me and brought it back to its prime.

Making a decision is a thousand times better than being indecisive about it... I think that'll stick with me forever. It's great advice, especially for someone so indecisive like myself 😅

This is very insightful. I don't fear AI art per se, but I feel incredibly disappointed that it's become so abundant to the point of being generic and uninspiring. I like seeing different people make original things, but with AI everyone is just making the same boring thing

2 years ago posted and I still find this useful! But seriously I don't know where to go for platforms now, Im just starting out

AI is affecting mental health of those who use it for work too. What many are doing, some not realizing, is that they are telling something else to do most of the thinking while they will be left with the fixing part of the job, which might sound nice and easy at first but it's also the most boring and repetitive side of whatever you're doing. What they ultimately get is that they are turning any job into a repetitive, mindless grind, much more than what they would have faced if they did the whole process themselves. Sure, it's faster, but will it still be a job you enjoy few months from now? Or will it have turned just like factory job, when they added CNC machinery and all that improved is productivity while the job is an absolute grind, where the humans are forced to adapt to the new speed standard and can't catch a break for a damn minute? I did 7 years with CNCs and 6 years with manual machinery after. I learnt that manual machinery is harder, slower and less precise, but God if it was much more fulfilling and immensely less boring. AI is the multimedia version of that. All it does it trivialize your job and turn it into an eternal, mindless grind where you need to rush the whole time, yet every minute feels like hours. It is why I despise the idea of it introduced for meaningful activities such as creating something yourself.

A lot of people dont understand thatthe situation is a bit more multifaceted than just the consumers not caring of how AI generation sffects artists, while it is true that most consumers dont care about how automated a particular industry is unless it affects them directly, the fact of the matter is that generative AI isnt just a threat to just visual artist but any job that requires expression through a visual medium, that means models, photographers, 2d artists, 3d artists, news broadcasters, actors, content creators etc, and not to mention the copyright cesspool that AI has caused with all the impending lawsuits. The fact of the matter is with all the industries that it threatens not just individual jobs, people will start rejecting this type of content in mass since its a tool at its core designed to undercut people. Eventually it will also cannibalize itself because if in the future AI can be copyrighted while simultaneously feeding off people's work then eventually nothing will be safe within copyright law, since anyone can use your "ai work" to create content and use it then no one's work will truly be safe under copyright law and thus we'll just have a meaningless cesspool of trash content with no heart behind it and no one can claim it as their own true artistic expression, at least for those who prefer to use AI to make their content. Also the huge potential for political misinformation with deepfakes, scams and how it might affect evidence in law which at that point once those particular issues become more prominent you will start seeing more government intervention and regulations since this will directly affect them a swell. SO huge rant aside, the consumers dont care for now but they will when it's a threat to almost every job. Sadly sometimes things need to get much worse before it gets better but it will once people see what this "tool" will be used to do, it's a tool of theft and deceit more than anything else, but thing's will get better once people understand that cons vastly out weigh the pros.

The thing that I always think is… replacing people with AI can’t be good for anyone’s mental health, even if not especially the end consumer. It’s already more or less scientifically proven that modern social media fries your brain and gives you depression, especially for kids. I can’t imagine seeing a roll of infini-sludge made entirely by machines is any better than that.

You truly are an Art Mentor.

I was sad at first... But then, well. After using ai and testing different image generators i couldn't be... It's shitty, bad, generic looking, and as more experienced artist - even high quality art of ai doesn't really get to my heart. I only like it for ai artifacts like creepy faces and heinous hands. :D

Though it is amusing to see the whole thing as a study, before AI art was a thing, the actual stress came from me studying higher levels of art styles that... I don't even intend to execute in my personal work. It might be for fun or leisure, but my art style is always focused on cel-shading and anime, not that airbrush levels of realism (or the doll-face style). It's understandable if I am playing with concept art and landscapes. But as everyday? It's beyond streesful. AI art is just a reminder for us traumatized artists that there is always someone much "better"... But I like to believe we're all better... in our own way.

Honestly after seeing how much it was pushed everywhere and how most of my regulars just started using it i almost wanted to stop drawing.

I love this video! Do you have a link of the business contract??

I think you're missing the main point alot of more well known artists in online circles are stressing which is the blatant thief of their art to make the AI art programs work and the legal stuff around it. That being said the mental health messaging is a good reminder to everyone in the art community not to let AI stop them from making more art.

I got back doing traditional art after digital art its make me hate ai art even more now its physical connection what I made.

This is interesting because none of these are my current problems, I only watch UA-cam and avoid other platforms unless I post something, I have plenty of drive and determination for my projects. What I'm upset with is that "ai" "art" has brought out some horrible perspectives from people, I've seen people say that "art isn't worth money", "artists don't deserve protection", "who cares what artists think?". It's just awful to see this brought out in people. Also when I try to job search on seek, indeed, glass door, etc, I can't find any character turn around sheet jobs, any character expression sheet jobs, storyboard jobs, or merch design jobs. But what I do see is 3D jobs and "ai promoter" jobs... People are hiring for AI PROMPTS it's crazy. So whilst I'm more than happy to keep doing my own thing, I can't make money through your typical industry job. Granted I live in Australia so that could lessen the amount of opportunities too, but I'm unsure as I'm new to all this and don't know what job searches for 2D artists looked like before "ai". If anyone has read all of my little tangent thank you for taking your time. There's not much that can be done about other people's attitudes towards art but we can keep fighting back.

But even yet, it is worth to post your art online even after knowing that's going to get scrapped to generate images and scam people?

Few seconds of video and I recognize already myself !

Another thing in addition to your usual great stuff here: It IS exactly going how you predicted too, TAM! Apparently the numbers of disillusioned people is growing, because their "Ai art sells" have started to rapidly decline due to one, the bad looks overall and two, the market rule of something getting a very very low price the more abundant it is. And places like Etsy are flooded with AI stuff. So what you said in an older video holds 100% true "you know what will still have value? Stuff that WE do!" Keep on creating~

noticing the A.I imgs looks the same it been for the past year... A.I hit the ceiling a long time ago.

It's funny. Most companies are switching to A.I Because it's much cheaper to use A.I if the product FAILS. So.....companies are literally PLANNING to fail, but HOPING to succeed. O_O

I'm starting my creative endeavor by participating in indie animated projects, and the people I associate with those said projects reject "A.I." and want to focus on their own creative abilities.

Something like AI art is just a true waste of time. While you get art right away, you get nothing else. No skill, no journey, no growth. I have grown as an artist so much in the past years, I wouldn't trade it for the world.I want the next generations and many many after forever, to enjoy creativity.

Thank you so much for this video, Sean. It has really helped to put me at ease and refocus on what matters --my art and my mental health.

One of the only things that I hate seeing ai art is trying to look for references via google images and such. Like bruh, I'm searching for specific references, not slobs of pixels 😂. Damn those corpos.

I have a number of friends in the tech industry. Including someone who works in machine learning. As time goes on, many of them are absolutely convinced that generative AI is nothing more than another VR/crypto trend. Yes, including the man who makes AI his career. It is a creative and cultural dead end. The way the technology works just doesn't lend itself to indefinite improvement in that field. (That is, generative AI.) Much like you said, the technology DOES have valid uses in some fields. Such as research, medicine, and logistics, but creative work is not something that the technology will ever be good at. In fact, my friend who works in AI says the more he comes to work with it, the more he comes to think the term "AI" is actually a bit of a misnomer.

In the long run, what would you rather be known for? Having Ai make something for you, or making something yourself? Even if people believe your art is Ai, you know it's yours, and there's personal satisfaction in that.

Personally I try to not worry too much about AI and just focus on being creative myself, just like back in the day where it was simply other artists making better art than me.

Ai is abusing the mental health of its users too. It’s just an unacceptable toxicity that needs to be purged from humanity immediately.

How do you feel about the bs Adobe is doing right now?

Can you make a whole ceramic horse in wet clay for kiln firing ?

Hello, im an illustrator, have been working in the industry for almost 25 years now and i gotta say, personally for me, A.I. hasn't been a problem in my career. yeah, all this mess had may put things a little more difficult for us all, but to be honest, being an artist on any medium, it always has been difficult, no matter what, so yeah, I have the same opinion as you, this new era for artists it's nothing more that a new challenge that we have beat, artists have existed forever, this is not going to be the ends of us. lets take advantage of this and keep going. great video by the way.
