Welcome to a series on my channel I call COVER ART, where I cover art-related news and drama.

In this video, we explore the cutting-edge world of AI-generated speedpaints and their implications for digital artists. AI, or artificial intelligence, has advanced rapidly, and one of the latest developments is AI text-to-video technology. A few months ago we started seeing the first video generation models. Sora, an AI model developed by OpenAI, debuted a few months ago and can transform text prompts into video content, opening up new possibilities for creative expression.

Today, we delve into PaintsUndo, a new tool that takes AI-generated images and creates convincing speedpaints. Speedpaints are digital art videos that show the process of creating an artwork, usually at a fast pace. There are two main types: traditional screen recordings and automatic speedpaints, where the software records each stroke without needing manual recording.

This technology has potential and concerning implications. While it showcases the impressive capabilities of AI, it also raises questions about authenticity and the value of human artistry. Artists worry that AI-generated art could be used to deceive others or undermine the hard-earned skills of genuine artists.

Join the discussion and share your thoughts on AI in art. Is this a groundbreaking tool for creativity, or a step too far that risks devaluing the art world? Let me know in the comments below!

What do you guys think of people working on Ai speedpaint generators?

AI bros: "it's just another tool to create art"
Also AI bros: create a tool with no other purpose than to hide their use of AI

[juggalochaos]

It’s not that people WILL use AI to scam people when it comes to commissions, people already HAVE used AI to scam commissions. Now it’ll just be easier for them to fake to non-artists :[

[scribblingjoe]

Imagine how embarrassing it will be if they go to a con and can’t draw their own characters for their fans.

[aIways_forgotten]

The watercolour guy is magic, he painted a whole painting without taking new paint or changing colours

[Kazuma_kiryu]

What's worse, people are actually DEFENDING this and calling artists entitled narcissists for uh... Not wanting their work to get stolen?

[DiegoHernandez-ocbz]

There are various inconsistencies that can help identify this as AI.

1: the art style that the Timelapse starts with will almost always change. yes it’s simply anime, but there are many ways to draw in this style. Yet it follows towards a very generic pose and look.

2: the process is very non coherent and tedious. Why would you drastically change the art style every moment, why would you go from a painterly method to simple cell shading, and how could you make major changes on an almost perfectly rendered piece. You wouldn’t do these things because you’re not an AI

We know that what we plan is either thumbnailed, or referenced heavily or perspectively to really have a plan for the most optimal art process. Which leads me to the third reason.

3: they only have Timelapse footage of the drawing. Not the program. AI doesn’t know what brushes, program setup, and color wheels look like. Nor how to fabricate footage of it without creating a Brocken and glitched display.

I really hope these were some good points fellas and ladies.

[selkrasouza]

The fact that people feel the need to pretend the ai images they generated were drawn by hand just proves that the technology isn’t as cool or useful as they say it is.

[ReiShs]

I see two reasons for this:
1. Scamming
2. Being bitter about actual artists. Jealousy is real. Some people just can't do it (or rather don't want to put effort in learning) but want a piece of the cake, so they do this.
GenAI is not a problem - it is a useful tool, especially in industry most people don't see (e.g. chemistry, manufacturing etc.) - it is people using the tool unethically.

[sikeseeing]

I found several times on community group in one of social media platform. They were arguing because somebody used their " ai images" without permissions and they were really really pissed off, and I was thinking "well, how's that feel?"

[cargnome]

I'm a very small vtuber, but I wanted to have an art contest for my character. Since there was a reward of money for my 3 favorite works, I explicitly required the artists to prove they made it by providing some work-in-progress evidence. Either a picture of the sketch, a timelape, or footage of them actually drawing it.
This may sound like a lot of trouble, but it was to avoid AI "art." After all, first place got $100, second got $50, and third got $25.

The contest went well, and I had a lot more submissions than I expected. None of the artists had an issue providing proof.
Now, however, I don't know how I'll be able to host another art contest with this kind of generated garbage being available.

It sucks, because AI is essentially making it harder for smaller or younger artists to have bigger opportunities like an art contest.
I don't like it either, because I don't want any AI art of my character, but I love to see *REAL* art of my character.
AI bros and tech companies are ruining the experience for everyone. They miss the point entirely. It's not just about making something that looks good. It's about the people and the community.

[straxx]

on the topic of "why would someone use this?" - I think a great parallel is people who cheat in video games, they don't play the game for the same reason as us - winning is the only goal.

[Maren]

What we used to imagine: ‘AI will do all the boring, hard physical labor and give humans the free time to create art!’ Reality: AI creates “art” and the humans have to go do the hard, boring, physical labor. 😐

[beatricezanoni]

"LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT ME PLEASE I BEG YOU TELL ME I'M GOOD, MY PARENTS NEVER DID"
I think this is what they mean

[AZALI]

my number one worry is that all this stuff makes it more difficult for new artists to enter the field and grow in popularity 😭😭

in a future world where everyone doubts whether anyone has used ai, i can totally imagine genuinely skilled people coming out of nowhere accused of using ai, and that sounds terrible

i really hope there becomes a reliable way to verify and tell what is human made

[garffeels]

i see ai everywhere now, i saw an ai logo on the side of someone’s car along with an ai portrait of hello kitty being sold at a mall kiosk a while ago. even worse, i was at a game shop 2 months ago and there was ai EVERYWHERE. on portrait on the walls, on tumblers, literally everywhere. and it made me so horrified

[defaulted]

For me, there is an easy solution.

I'll just put Clip Studio Paint's built in watermark on my timelapses. If the AI copy that, CELSYS as the owner of CSP have the right to sue for impersonation.

Technically, I want to seriously ask why the AI sketches something crazy different from the end result?

If I'm drawing Tohsaka Rin, I wouldn't sketch schoolgirl Asuka Langley on the base layer.

If I'm sketching an angry Eren, I wouldn't draw Hodaka or Taki as sketch from Tenki no Ko and Kimi no Na Wa.

If I were to draw Roses, I won't sketch a Tulip first.

If I were to draw Fubuki, I wouldn't change the layer mask midway. I'd separate the character fro. The background before I practice hair details.

[Elinasu]

I dont understand this continuous need to make and develop AI to ruin legitimate artists online. Instead, they should develop AI to be used in something else, like a tool to help solve more serious issues in the world... not to make art videos and images and put creative people out of work....

[justadudenamedjared]

“Alright, you dingus. Open the file, show me all the layers. No balls, no pen, show me it all”.

[dustycookies]

My school had a yearbook that I helped out on- and my friends really liked my art and wanted me to make the front cover for the book! Our yearbook instructor was in the room and seemed good with it. Took me 4 hours, I showed it to him and he kinda liked it. Put it up on the yearbook software myself- my friends said it looked good- but then the day before the yearbook went in he changed the painting to an AI cover because he thought it was neat. So inconsiderate. No warning. He never liked me or what I brought to the table in his class, so I guess this was his petty way of making it up to himself. Instead he put it in the far back of the book and made it a png on an orange background. (The painting- which was made traditionally, was purple and yellow- clashed terribly and looked disgusting)

What is wrong with people??
