As an artist, this is extremely impressive, i've spent thousands of hours learning wow to draw, design, model, shade and compose works and thought this new tech might seem like this makes it soon to be all for nothing, I hope that fundamental knowledge still has value in some ways. This will be a massive change not only for digital artists to begin with but to society in general, i can foresee when AI can come up with an ad in real time depending on your day/cookies...

I've worked in visual effects and animation for the last 25 years and I'm blown away at this technology. I understand that this is another tool in an artists toolbox but its becoming harder not to think that human artists will be replaced.

"Automation will lead to us having more spare time to do what we really want to do, like art."

AI: I will crush your dreams now.

[nacholeza]

As an artist I can assure you that this is unbelievably amazing as well as a bit terrifying.

[oomegalinux]

This is the first time a technology video completely blew up my mind! You not only presented the topic, but analyzed its social implications as well. Great work!

Even if AI can make pretty pictures, I would never stop creating. Just because a computer can make music, or art, or even conversation, doesn't mean that you should stop making the things that you love to make, or pursuing mastery of your craft. Be proud of what makes you, uniquely "you, " embrace the challenge for the sake of overcoming who you were yesterday, and reach for larger goals. In the future, 1 person may be able to create entire worlds with incredible detail using AI to help them achieve that goal.

Dream: "Help designers". Reality: "we are outsourcing, we have to let you go"

[juliusgrut]

6:43 this one's crazy, it can be interpreted in two different ways and the AI combined both interpretations into one artwork, very cool.

I've worked in the design world professionally for almost 40 years. I have seen tremendous progress in the way we work. We went from hand drawing to creating on screen. Apple gave us the ability to increase our productivity in real time, and we continually adjusted to it becoming our new normal along the way. The speed in which we now can share information and in doing so, increase the power of these programs is moving so much faster now that I can see this soon becoming our new standard - over and over again. In the professional design realm, we work with tight time restraints, and it's all about efficiency and making money. So buckle your seat belts, because this technology will change everything. Imagine what it will be capable of in 10 years.

OH. MY. GOD.
This is a whole new level of information processing. I've always contended that the true test of AI would be the creative world. Two years ago GPT-3 was making beat poetry, and now DALLE-2 is pumping out 2D images of renaissance sculptures and jungle buses and raccoons in space at a level of execution that makes them practically indistinguishable from Human creative effort. The world is about to get a lot more and a lot harder to trust. As a visual performance artist, I dread the day the next iteration of AI is able to perfectly mimic human beings in weird costumes doing acrobatics and thought-provoking theatre. It *is* coming.
Great video as always Cold Fusion, you always make me think. Thanks!

[murtabak]

I literally searched about this 6 hours ago and you've posted about this.. thank you so much for the detailed explanation Sir! 😁

[OfficialStevenCravis]

I can see this being theraputic, - psychologically satisfying - for example for one to be able to put their dream they had last night into a photo album, helpful to musicians, for example to generate album covers. While I see it as a threat to real visual artists, at the same time, as a musician/composer I think once music can be generated this way, I won't feel threatened since I always feel like what I compose and create is unique and cannot be replaced.

Imagine just making a storyboard and this AI just makes the comic or movie out of it instantly .

[Alteori]

I love telling stories and this will help bring my monsters and worlds to life. I wanna cry 😭

[Corey_Brandt]

This is insane! I remember showing Style-Transfer to my high school art teacher when it was new, but this is on a whole other level!

[theultimateshield]

It would be cool to see someone writing a story and it creates the whole anime.

[jacobzaranyika]

My thoughts and behaviour won't change. I will work round you new and latest obstacle. I am a pro at it now. You have done so for 2 yrs - put multiple obstacles in my way over and over and over!

Mad genius defense back again.

[ndrdst]

I imagine a future where "visual word artists" have particularly acute and impressive linguistic skills of conveying ultra complex scenarios and emotions to an AI, to generate art that a normal human can't even hope to achieve. This would go lightyears beyond dolphins in space suites and into the realm of visually induced psychedelic experiences.

[HansMilling]

Imagine giving the AI a script for a movie, and out comes a complete movie, we are getting there.

[betodmaster]

As an is both exciting and scary at the same time. But Im not going to stop creating art, I will embrace this new tech to my set of skills.
