Beginning in January 2021, advances in AI research have produced a plethora of deep-learning models capable of generating original images from simple text prompts, effectively extending the human imagination. Researchers at OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and others have developed text-to-image tools that they have not yet released to the public, and similar models have proliferated online in the open-source arena and at smaller companies like Midjourney.
These tools represent a massive cultural shift because they remove the requirement for technical labor from the process of image-making. Instead, they select for creative ideation, skillful use of language, and curatorial taste. The ultimate consequences are difficult to predict, but — like the invention of the camera, and the digital camera thereafter — these algorithms herald a new, democratized form of expression that will commence another explosion in the volume of imagery produced by humans. But, like other automated systems trained on historical data and internet images, they also come with risks that have not been resolved.
The video above is a primer on how we got here, how this technology works, and some of the implications. And for an extended discussion about what this means for human artists, designers, and illustrators, check out this bonus video: https://youtu.be/sFBfrZ-N3G4

Majority of things can be done by AI pretty soon, but I guess prostitution is one of the safest career right now that AI cannot do. Unless you know…
Its addicted
The future has arrived old man
Call me when an AI creates an artwork that offends people without human assistance.
And they say when ai will come hardwork will be gone and we will just do creative work but it's only till they ai= human means when and ai can do everything which human can then that's the end , people will have no value then except rich people because they own those assets
To those that are scared that this AI is replacing human art, it really isn’t because humans are the ones giving AI the prompts because AI is incapable of creation on its on and can only recreate from information they know. Real human art isn’t just drawing like an art style but coming up with an idea and image and theme
As much as this is fascinating for most, this is also deeply unsettling. I am a graphic designer and artist by profession and have to say, the art industry is pretty unforgiving of you are not at the top of your game. I can vouch for the talent and skill of any of my several friends in this industry who just about scrape by doing gigs and commissions. The competition this tech will introduce into the market is going to push quite a few of us out of our jobs. Maybe not today, not tomorrow, but how long does it really take in this world to turn an innovation into a business opportunity?
As an artistic creator type..i dont like this much, but it is cool
Sorry I got distracted by Joss's beauty
The thing I don't get about all this is, how the images are being created. It seems like these AI are creating collages of multiple images based on the inputs, but are these images copyright free to use? Maybe I'm understanding the AI image creation process wrong. But if this is the way that it is working, does this not infringe on copyright laws of the original image creator/owner?
There is definitely a resemblance in some cases to original work, so are these AI images far enough removed away, from the original works to be classed as original work in a legal scenario? This kind of reminds me of sampling in the music industry and we have seen some high profile cases here, when it comes to altering original work, so I wonder what the legality of all this is.
Dall E is pretty good, tho I like midjourney better
Superb video
Wait, so if you were to post a piece online that you made, and someone asks the AI to make a Photo similar to the design you hand made, it will use your design, and other people's designs to make the best looking design?
Isn't that art theft?
Corrent me if I'm wrong please.
God bless the humans that came up with this technology. This is the tip of the iceberg, this is scratching the surface.
Thank you for this primer on AI art. I'm really interested now in what it can do.
We are on the fast lane towards the singularity! Wow
MUCH!!!!
because in the intro for example I want to make an acoustic soft, but later I want to make a distortion or any other effects in that sa
track, but the problem is I don't know how to do tNice tutorials, it only goes to the setuper as the whole track…can you help with tNice tutorials?
and get tNice tutorials soft out.
mystiik. tutorial* to*
they are only legitimising the multidecade long AI infiltration. Please open your Heart. See. Remove all AI infiltration.
I've been playing on garageband for a couple weeks and just got the trial of softs. I was worried there wouldn't be any clear tutorials, but
Haha it's not that difficult! I can help if you wish ! Let know!
man I missed this kind of tutorials lol. Great work here, thanks!!!
blue lobta
This. Isn’t. Art.
「動画の音が良くない」、
Is it only me or the mask at 12.05 looks like a filter?
This is a great video by VOX , I hope you focus more on showing what's around and use your platform as a medium of show casing progress rather than pessimistic doom and gloom the world morale LOW don't add to it.
Most artists don't make enough money and the ones who do will not be affected by AI . What will change though is people looking for inspiration and ideas can que in some parameters and have some amazing results.
So does this mean captcha is basically useless now?
lol
Excellent explanation, thanks a lot
This was a fantastic video! It explained the subject very well, and in a very beginner/artist-friendly fashion! While I disagree with some of James Gurney's opinion, he was an excellent pick, and it was a great way to show respect to some artists' positions as well.
Well, now my dreams of being an artist is dead.
the dream ai generator is fun
As a science fiction fan, I always assumed that the time when AI technology advanced to the point of artistic expression would be after my lifetime. Yet, here it is in a rapid breakthrough when I'm only 60.
With technology development, jobs loose their purpose in society. As foreseen by people in the past, it's saddening in my opinion, to stop issuing jobs that people have interests in just because a piece of tech does it for you. Amazing, but terrifying altogether.
This is so scary but cool at the same time
Up to you dawg, how good do you want it?
left you see PROGRAM. the program chosen is probably "Agressive TE". choose the program "Analog app 1 TE" by clicking the right
DALL E is now available to public. Pretty cool
The level of anxiety for tech vs art is not new, a similar existential crisis took the hearts of some painters with photography. I'll not go to say it's the same, the speed of the revolution is so fast that will be more traumatic but at the end we'll find new ways of sharing our obsessions
Although I know it'll happen regardless, I personally want nothing to do with AI.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
its not 1 AI that does this. that is an incorect statement in your title. there are several different AI programs that do similar things to produce images based on the requests and restrictions provided by the user.
11:55 It's not an error – it's a feature
1:26 got to love the people who wear masks for video chats lol
We're going to be playing entirely AI generated video games within the next 5 or 6 years, mark my words
It worked! Tank you sir.
what i'm waiting is AI Arranging Pictures and send them to each Folder
1:37 Me: I hear electricity
A few seconds later: Loads of screens. Yuup xD
So Leighton space is like a universe or maybe the different aspects of a "picture universe" is being calculated by the Deep learning to create a universe or🤔 intelligence/brain then is able too create from and generate Unique Images from the universe that it created by learning
maybe 🤔? Maybe like a kid learning how to draw the older it gets the better and I say kid because we can tell a child draw me a bird but we don't know what type color size the child is going to draw why because he or she is an individual that's where the Deep learning and latent space comes in very cool if I'm actually understanding it correctly……
If you read this and you understand what I'm trying to say let me know if I missed anything or if I'm on the right track
Put this program into a chip and put it into an AI robot and you have just given them creativity
Hmmm, strange how positive the outlook on AI art was when there were only closed source options from Microsoft and Google…
now in the future we are gonna have an ai make a sentence to make an image.
It will become another useless app on your device that will initially gain traction and soon will become blase just like Funny Camera Filters or that silly Gangnam Style song and dance.
Oh so uninspiring.
I feel bad for human creators that don't want their work used by the algorithm. There's no way to prove that it was their creation(s) that was used to make the image. The problem is compounded when you add in that every image generated is a true "1 of 1.
Still the technology is truly fascinating.
Great journey 👍
The thing I find slightly disappointing is that none of the AI apps I have used allow the user to give feedback to help train the AI. For example "a chicken eating a deer" produces mostly just pictures of a chicken/deer hybrid rather than one consuming the other, but there's no way to tell the AI that an output was good or bad, so it can refine the model.
Let us still not forget the fact that the generated images are derived from hundreds or thousands of creative artworks by us, humans. It is like the arts of different artist all come together to form an unimaginable piece we do not expect. It is still incomparable to an art piece that has the soul and passion of an artist.
Wonder us one of the best apps for this. I must say tho, it is great use for a tool, one of the best tools for an artists. But only that, it’s not art and never will be art.
My mind = 🤯
I think this was bound to happen. I tried using one of these programs and it's actually cool. I think that having ways of giving credit to artists that are used for these programs would be a good step. I can see AI art being a great source of inspiration and ideas to use and plan out different types of art. For a novice like me, it can actually be a good learning tool over how to produce different types of art. This won't be an easy transition, but I think it's a necessary one that we need to hammer out the legal and ethical details now rather than waiting for them to haphazardly come together.
I just purchased wonder Ai for my iPhone and it seems like this shouldn’t be possible but it’s doing it. It’s kinda scary when you start seeing it happen.
So thats where Viv got her character from…🤔
best part of this video starts at 13:02
i need one where you can paste a image and it will recreate it
wracking my brain to figure out how they made the polaroids
ball is life
Is this similar to Nawmal?
Well researched and created video. Nice one
If we can control the AI that far, I will ask to live in a simulation where I'm born as a person in the top 0.1% of most priviliged people to have ever lived, again.
3 times did not start, but then it worked
pov you’re watching post Dall-E public release
so thanks to these people, a bunch of artists are gonna lose their jobs, awesome, amazing
I love the possibilities and as an artist I’m not scared in the slightest
How many Captchas have we all failed or accomplished, people?
can we use ai art for commercial purposes?
Wow, glad with the advancement of AI compared to the olden days not too old AISB in 80's. As long as technology is used as part of us, it should be ok – but once technology especially AI got their independence day – there the problem will start escalating either for better or worse. Let us always beware. Still curious with live intelligent arrangement in music playing.
In the future, humans will develop a computer chip as small as an atom that can process all of the mathematics of the universe! It's the 'who', that can manipulate the mathematics too their liking, that should be a real concern. You better believe it will be used against you!
give anyone who is responsible with this explanation a raise, you successfully explaining nth dimension that is easy to digest!
um.. wait
Makes my hopes and dreams of being an artist feels pretty hopeless and pointless ho be honest
What a terrible time we live in.
This is horrifying
😀
🥲 this is great 💀
12:02 that covid mask is not real.. why was it added? 🤔
Ppl have started selling the prompts to generate the images the computer creates………….
this is another way of preventing creative blocks. imagine you're stuck in a scene you're creating for a chapter for a fiction book you're writing, and you're stuck with only a bunch of words to describe it. putting those words as prompts in a dall-e based image production system can help even writers visualize the scene better and even come up with distinct personalities for the characters they's like to have for that particular scene. and that's just one way of using it in a manner that could help expand creative horizons. film makers and musicians can benefit from this too.
Now we can old be artists lol
Y'all cry about jobs disappearing I make NFTs with no effort WE ARE THE SAME
Its just a matter of time now
WHAT IS THE WEBSITE
I'm an artist. I make a living from art. This scares me to death. So F**k you!
This is just art. Imagine what will happen when the ai wants to recreate military tactics, wmd or even be able to infiltrate any boundary it wants. My god were fked
Soon Ai will be making its own animation and cartoons
They can make AI to do this, but not make AI that is competent in a Video Game.
I smell a rat!
