Artificial Intelligence and Art Production
- AI is increasingly being used in art production.
- There’s a comparison being made between AI’s capabilities and professional artists.
Specific Tools and Updates
- “DALL-E 2” was a new release, since then DALL-E has added features like “out painting.”
- Competitors such as “Midjourney” and “Stable Diffusion” have grown in popularity.
- Mentioned that there’s a new “Ultimate digital painting bundle” compatible with multiple software: Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, and Critter. The brushes are priced at $20, and the course at $25. A combined bundle is available at $35.
AI Tools’ Capabilities
- DALL-E’s new feature, “out painting”, allows users to edit and generate frames.
- Users can add text prompts, e.g., “a futuristic city in the distance featuring a large flying ship.”
- There are also programs that take visual prompts.
- “Stable Diffusion” offers image input and conversion.
Comparative Experiment
- Alicia and Jazza conducted an experiment four months prior to the transcript date.
- They gave prompts to DALL-E to generate art.
- Their initial prompt was a “Lovecraft inspired Forest featuring a cabin.”
- The artist started with a basic scene sketch, focusing on composition, and then used various brushes and tools to create a Lovecraftian feel.
- Using AI, they attempted to emulate the same mood and style with various inputs and parameters.
Feedback on AI’s Output
- The AI-produced images had varying degrees of alignment with the given prompts.
- Some AI outputs appeared to borrow aesthetics from stock images.
- Multiple variations can be generated by continuously tweaking parameters in AI programs.
Portrait Challenge
- A second challenge was to create a portrait of a “paladin in shining silver armor with gold trim who has dark skin, green eyes, and hair pulled back.”
- The portrait creation process started with a basic sketch, then refinement, with the face being the focal point.
- The final sketch was bathed in light with gold armor details and was presented to Alicia for further development.
Conclusion
- There’s a significant overlap in the capabilities of AI tools and human artists.
- The comparison between AI-generated art and human-made art seems to be an ongoing exploration.

The issue with ai like this is its just copying and pasting parts from online human made artworks, not really "creating" anything new. This was obvious when it accidentally left the watermark in
I dunno but is procreate an ideal name for a product? 😀
This stuff's been out for decades, nothing new except the advertising to attract your ass to a chair for years.
I think you should try to use AI to recreate a picture you choose. I bet it's impossible.
AI now is so much better.
Ai art is the death of human made digital art but it will surely boost the worth of physical art.
The problem with ai is detail.
Want to have an ai make a hand? It looks plastic.
Want an ai to make a full body? Don't make the ai hold anything and just do a simple pose
Want a background or more detail for that full body? Hands are the least of it concerns almost never looks normal
It's still just a generated image, it's not art
As a beginner artist who wants to become pro and make money in the future, i don't want to see AI as an enemy who is gonna take over my job, i see it as a tool that i can use to make life easier, while still doing something original myself. I'd love using AI to generate references instead of me searching for them and wasting hours, helping me with breaking down complex objects into simple shapes, helping me know where the shadows/lights belong, giving me some nice ideas for pallets, and many more cool shortcuts! I'm not scared of AI.
It didn't steal the watermark. A lot of the images fed into the AI for it to learn from had a watermark. It learned that images contain watermarks. It is an error. If it was fed only images without a watermark, it wouldn't produce watermarks.
AI learns curves and levels and colors and lines. It doesn't merge premade work.
We should ask AI to create a video in which human art is compared to AI art.
10 months later and AI is leaps and bounds better already.
12:45 Why do artists sooo often give black people green eyes? If you look at especially video game art, you'd get the impression that most black people have green eyes, when in reality the vast majority have brown ones. Honestly, I think it's because it makes them look more caucasian.
I think AI will replace a lot of the grindy, low pay basic art which will add a much more difficult barrier of entry for many artists with that entry level field removed. However, it will almost certainly not fully replace human creativity. But we will likely go through a very long period of time where our art and media is completely oversaturated with artificially generated content and the like. It'll be dark times for many creatives.
No, they just so have so many art/picture references uploaded now then ever
I think this would yield much more interesting competition with AI now because since this video came out it has just gotten exponentially better!
anyone else notice he spelled Dragon wrong but regardless Alicia is the best
I think what's important to remember is that AI is a tool, not a replacement. an artist can bring an idea they have to life, AI doesn't have ideas. much like your paintbrushes AI can be used by artists to speed up their work, not replace them. you can design a leaf for example and ask AI to where to scatter similar leaves in your piece, this just safes time and makes art more accessible to everyone and even allows you to do things you might not have been able to with human skill. all the fun of designing a piece, composing, lighting, coloring, texturing, style etc is still in your own hands.
In the industrial revolution people thought they would have been replaced by machines, instead one job got replaced by a million other specialization alloying humans to do more interesting work.
if anything artists will become even more important, because only they can make something truly unique and fitting. and with the help of AI tools, artist can and will show us what we thought was impossible previously.
some examples:
extreme resolution painting. you could create a planet and if you zoom in enough you could see aliens going about their lives. this wouldn't have been possible because of the amount of work required, however an artist in the future could work so efficiently that it just might then.
dynamic painting. they might react to a prompt in a way to follows a story, style and mood design by artists. just think about would this could mean for game development for example…
I think the biggest negative is theft. you can now perfectly replicate an artists style and steal it, which is illegal but very hard to keep track of so it's easy to get away with.
Ai art is LITERALLY just the same as describing something to an artist, and letting them draw what you just described. So any "Ai artists" out there arent artists, theyre just borderline commisioners.
This is a prompting/skill issue. Your prompts are anemic and way too short.
Maybe find some skilled AI artists and see what a sample of their prompts look like. They're usually paragraph sized, extremely descriptive. There are lists you can find with words you can use in prompts. I suggest that next time.
