AI vs Artist. In this video I’m going to put the AI art generator, Midjourney, to the test!
Recent advancements in imagine generating neural networks such as DALLE2 and Midjourney have left many people are worried that AI will replace artists and, in the future, there will be no more human artists in the industry because AI will have taken all their jobs. I put in the ideas behind some of my artworks as text prompts to see what Midjourney would come out with. Can AI actually replace me?
What do you think? If you disagree with my scoring in this video, I won’t be offended. Tell me which rounds you think the AI won!

Loved the comparison! That was a rlly interesting discovery 🙈 Your art is beautiful btw keep up 😊
fellow artist here. i understand that there are limited credits, but to someone with unlimited credits, i do feel that better results can always be had at a quick rate as well. i think its alright to be worried for artists wielding the power of Ai taking over jobs of other artists. i will still have fun with illustrations and do my best to adapt to whatever comes next.
How is this video so underrated??? This is really informative and well composed, please keep up the hard work!
the first burger prompt looks like the nasty patty from that one spongebob episode
Thank you for your video. After the initial amazement and a few months playing around with AI by Midjourney I came to a realisation that as a storyteller relying on an ilustrator the AI cannot provide what I need. It is absolutely incapable of maintaining a consecutive consistency of desired environments, particular camera angles and perspectives and above all specific character traits or even poses. Even after endless prompt re-writes, an effort which after a while becomes somewhat counterproductive as you spend longer time on those, than just explaining the same to your ilustrator who provides you with much more accurate results. Sure, the AI might be quicker and cheaper but then again, the sheer volume of it flooding our (audio)visual environment will devalue it on the market. In other words and as always, you get what you pay for. So I wouldn't worry at all if I were an ilustrator. Btw, as much as I still love AI art and see quite a few uses for it (standalone book cover ilustrations, for example) I have to disagree with the scoring of your art vs AI. You have won hands down in absolutely all of the tasks. AI has scored zero. You can tell the quality from miles away.
The AI will never be able to recreate what we feel and want to potrayed, I think even if you ask another artist giving the same description it would be completly diferent, we percieved art in different ways. Both did really interesting ilustrations btw. Except for the burger the AI´s were kinda werid tho.
Ai can't draw hands😅
I would love to see you doing a DALL-E 2 video! I did one and it was so fun!
DISCLAIMER: At the time of making the video I did not have unlimited Midjourney access. I only had very limited credits (25) so I couldn't make too many different versions. If I had spent a lot longer refining each prompt I'm sure I could've got way better results. At the time, Midjourney was also using the V3 algorithm. It's not that long ago but now they already have an amazing new algorithm which can make far better looking results – especially people! The field is evolving rapidly. Whether us artists will be replaced is yet to be seen. The Ai still cannot recreate the same character/object twice, for example, and it is still bad at very specific requests. But now (after the update) it can definitely outdo most beginner/intermediate artists already at art with a simple concept which is crazy. We will just have to see if this fast development continues or if it hits a roadblock
Interesting. Maybe make a competiton with Dall-e 2 as well! It´s free now (some free credits per month included)
The Dr Strange bit should have been called a hand fractal or fractalic hand, maybe that would have been better understood.
Great video! I tried the hamburger in Midjourney and got similar results you were experiencing. However, when I gave the hamburger an identity by adding 'McDonalds' to the prompt I started getting much better results.
This is what I want to know too, can a generator not only imitate my style, but iterate upon it… however I’m hesitant to upload my artwork and ‘feed’ the AI
ai art is not the same thing as real art, that is silly to be afraid of. it can be addictive to keep generating it though.
AI art is not a tool, the end goal is to replace artist and designers
i deeply recommend you to watch Steven Zapata video on the matter,
he has some points, worth listening
As a graphic design student, It's honestly sad to accept the truth which is creativity is just a mix of ideas that you've experienced. When it comes to creativity AI acts practically the same as the human brain, but it has a million times more data to get inspiration from. Yes, AI will take 99% of graphic designer jobs in the next few decades. Only the top 1% will remain. This 1% will succeed because they have a good relationship with their clients/ fans not because their art is anything special.
Stable diffusion is better
i love your art style, i saw some on instagram today, impressive 🙂
Use the AI as a Tool. They cant replace artist yet until the AI learn to make hands
People seem to compare their fears to what the AI can do
NOW-, instead of what it will be able to do in a few years. At the moment , it isn't very good at specifics, but it will be. It will be good enough to take most low levelMid tier careers away, eventually. The artist that are already at the top 5%, will remain there. They will likely be the one doing minor fixes for the AI outcomes.I like some of the AI art I have seen, but it's going to be like buying art from Target, or other stores selling "art" that is mass produced and doesn't " move" people. That's just my opinion. I would rather buy art that moves me and has someones hands, emotions and time wrapped up in it.
So, while I think your video was nice. I think there was a few things that would of made it a more fair comparison. Instead of working off a prompt you made for your own art. You should work off a prompt from someone else, make art and then put it to a public vote. The thing is, AI is meant to replace the cool sort of commissions people might want of what's in their imagination. Finding that it doesn't work for you as an artist trying to make a piece is a very different lens.
These engines will continue to learn as more people use them and it may not be a huge threat to artists' livelihood now, the future might be a different story. Technology always get better…
I love seeing the comparision, great video. This made me think of the proverb "a picture paints a thousand words". I think this has never been more literally true. I feel like it would need more than a thousand word prompt to accurately describe all the fine details if we ever have any very specific result we want from it
You could've used StableDiffusion or DALLE-2. They are way better than Midjourney. Also, StableDiffusion is 100% free so you can experiment as much as you like.
Now that's a vegan burger.
Ai will be used to augment and generate ideas for the teams who currently make all the art for the well known artists. The source of the ideas will be the unknowns.
Right now mid journey became much much better 👍 I recommend you to check it out, by the way love your artworks ❤️
AI is going to take some of the market away for artists that specialize in "digital art". When it comes to selling products it will be tough for AI. But for design imagery on posters, album covers, music videos, movies, or books, AI will absolutely steal that market. Heck, at some point AI will probably start making music, movies, & writing books, too. 😐
Gay ally? wtf?? I think A.I. is in its infancy yet still it wouldn't be that stupid.
Welp, you "won" against one AI, with your own prompts.
In the meantime a dozen new AIs plop up to compete with human artists.
I guess humans will have a place in the future, it will just be more specialized und it will be harder to define the human element in art(ificial) creations
This is just the beginning, you pathetic people! Ahahahaha 🤖
For me, the answer is YES the Ai can make better art than me. Not that I'm a bad artist, but I look at some of this stuff Ai is creating and only wish that I could execute that well artistically. But the Ai can't come up with my ideas.
I tried with night coffee it gave really good results when i used your burger image as reference. It was not 100% since i tried for 5 minutes or so, but if you are trying to make a copy or similar projects in a fancy way i think things can be arranged if you give it more time.
Just remembering you are doing it with a single art style while the AI can make new art styles or even copy other people art styles, while humans need to learn a new art style every time AI can do it like its nothing special
i've yet to see Midjourney or any of the others come up with something that makes me slap it on the shoulder and say '' Midjourney me old mate, you've found your voice ! '' As opposed to a ton of weird generic options from which to choose. For me that's the difference between what we still call 'an artist'' and a machine that can synthesise a variety of styles fed into it. Thanks for the vid though !
try v4 itll beat you
Why not sesame seeds? You don't know key words and saying ai boomed… lol
What is this midjourney , software ? Sorry im nee to this thing ,like watching first time ..this concept
Also how can we do it?
ART AI DOEST DRAW…THE TITLE IS WRONG.
ART AI STEALS AND MIX UP THINGS. CHANGE TITLE!
I noticed right away that AI can paint better than beginning or intermediate artists but sucks at fantasy illustrations, because while it can paint quite handsome barbarians, it can't paint swords or monsters accurately or at all!
midjorney AI does kind of require you to down the rabbit hole with its various version options ETC. I got a really beautiful result of a rainbow obsidian woman after a bit
Better? nah, its just different
We need to sabatoge it.
AI art doesn't actually look good
Ai art = art sky net destroy human artists
Your prompts are as hilariously awful as your garish “art” AI has already replaced you time to go study something
I had a go with MidJourney a few months ago. The results made me feel safe in my path as an artist.
You should try it with MJ V4!
I used the same prompt and they came out just as good if not better than yours
which ai generator website did you use?
Midjourney V4 could do all of these prompts , not saying that they would be better than urs
It's such a task to get it to perform well it does take knowledge of how to tag things and such.
I've seen some really great ones from a self proclaimed "AI Artist" but to me that just raises the issue of theft, ultimately these are pulling from other artists works, which we all ultimately do pull from the collective knowledge of art, but my question is then if YOU couldn't do it, is that more of a direct theft since a human didn't come up with the variation? Like, are we going to consider it the same to just compile works and have an AI invent variation as if a human did it or is it just outright theft of every artist you've datsbased?
Should it require permission of artists to use their work in such databases? I feel like that's an obvious royalty issue if your work REQUIRES not just human knowledge of art in general but actual copies of someone else's work in a database which are then referenced.
ee
Artist need to stop feeding these AI programs. Look how much they have improved in just two years…they have even improved since your post. Literally every time you like or upscale an image, you are training the AI so that it learns and improves to give more accurate representation. AI will learn far faster than any human art student. So, imagine AI as it is now exponentially improving daily.
If AI can learn to animate then thats bad
I think these are the same results you'd get from telling a person the same prompts and nothing more.
The main problem with ai is that commercial use of ai artwork is currently illegal because of the data sets being under a license that forbids commercial use.
In addition to seeing your art, your voice and the narration are so soothing and a pleasure to listen to… a beautiful package of experience with educational content!
Midjourney v4 is leaps and bounds better! I think it's safe to say jobs are at risk. I'm saying this as an artist. Pretty cool though.
I’m not sure if it’s just mid journey or your keywords or what but AI art is more advanced then what you’re perceiving it as. I’ve seen amazing Ai art. There’s options to edit what the AI generates. It also can generate more images based on one of the selections you like. There’s options to expand the image to add other things. There’s options to remove certain things from AI images. On the other hand AI I believe could take over but in realm of artists AI should be considered a plus because they would be able to either get inspiration or even alter their images they’ve made using AI. I’d definitely consider it a tool for artists.
Someone who isn’t an artist can generate art sure. But artists can use it to increase their artwork therefore the outcome of their art will be more advanced.
2:49 too real 💀
AI generated images are surprisingly good, but requires humans to fix and further polish. So we still got it, unless if it advances to another level
Ai or whatsoever,
Humans are the one who created ai, that means humans are the most intelligent being,
Ai did not created ai,
It was human,
Human is the creator,
Ai have limits,
Ai only sees what they are programme to,
But humans sees the beyond.
Never compare a human with ai,
HUMAN IS THE ONE CREATED IT,
IT CAME FROM HIM,
WITHOUT HIM , THERE IS NO AI .
IDK WHY PEOPLE LIMIT A HUMANS MIND, ABILITIES, AND THIER STRENGHTS,,,
But human can do anything and they can do beyond then one can ever imagine.
Didn't even start the video but. AI can't fucking draw
Machines Learn, Machines Execute. Give it time.
Machines Learn, Machines Execute. Give it time.
I feel with a lot of this AI art you can usually tell immediately if its an AI piece. Additionally, its usually just portrait shots and nothing that dynamic
