If he said, "I don't have good artistic skills, I haven't took the time to improve my drawing and painting skills because I find drawing boring, but I use this AI tool as a crutch and that enables me to at least create something, " I would have no problem with it. But he keeps insisting that what he is doing is comparable to what professional artists are doing and that he has an artistic eye on a professional level, which I'm sorry, but based on his drawings that he has shown, that is just delusional.

[JayneAFK]

What Shad doesn't realise is that he has demoted himself to being the AI's assistant and editor, and he's *not even good* at that. Some of the AI generations, the ones he didn't touch, looked better dynamically than his "finished piece" - even with all of the AI jank, it still looked better to me. The generations got worse and worse the more he tried to touch it up. 😭

I'm glad You started with shrinking the head. In the original video Shad kept repeating something like "only people with good artistic eye will catch what should be fixed here". I was like: "the head is too big", "the head is too big", "the hea... and then he decided to shrink the shoulders making the head appear even bigger 🤣

[farrex]

As a professional artist, it is hillarious that he even wrote this sentence unironically. "The level of artistry needed, technical knowledge required, and amount required of work involved I think is going to shock people" I watched the whole video and the only thing shocking was his ego.

[jo_helaci]

We writers don't wanna claim him either. His book is "objectively bad" as he himself likes to put it and is mainly about a guy getting rewarded with Mary Sue powers and plot armour for assaulting children in the past. It is terrible. So please, don't send him to us.

He belongs in the r/niceguys. He'd fit right in there.

[Omniryu]

The funny thing to me, is how NONE of these ai bros can begin to see what's wrong with the art. It'll be the most basic and fundamental things too.
That and (I do feel guilty for this) when he keeps saying "my art is literally professional quality" and his brother just gives him a look...and you can tell he's trying not to laugh. That gives me that good gut laugh every time.

[Jack-symr]

“Stick to writing”
He’s maybe even worse at that
Maybe he should just, go off into the woods and leave us all alone

[anthonyh.]

"Stick to writing, we don't wanna claim you"
As a writer, we also do not want this man

[陸天篤]

"Artistic eye" and yet he can't see and correct the bad anatomy the ai made and he "corrected"

[myrddraalhalfmen]

I appreciate Shad for his historical stuff, but his AI takes were just ridiculous, thank you for this video

[bobbyb]

"He needs to go back to writing, he needs to go back to what he's good at" He's a horrible writer too 😂

[kevinanderson]

I'm one of those artists that are in the middle: I see potential in AI to help speed up the art process, just I think users such as Shad are pretty inconsiderate of what everyday artists go through. AI artists claim to be professional artists, which in itself already seems pretty inconsiderate because that makes regular artists' efforts feel ignored. The other thing Shad doesn't own up to it, he always tries counter arguing that artists' frustration towards this is invalid.

[jarongreen]

"go back to writing which is something he's good at" I will stop you there and say that Shad is a TERRIBLE writer.

His book is about as bloated and egotistical as he is with art. He's really big on giving big descriptions about his world and world building which end up feeling self congratulatory and his dialog is completely amateurish. And that's not even going into how down right creepy and wrong the story line is. Basically the main character, to put it bluntly, is if stalin had super powers and...other urges that don't bare speaking of. But you know, Shad seems to think that we should feel sorry for this character because "if you really think about it HE'S the real victim"

And stupid stuff like this is a dime a dozen on the internet. What gets me is that he is a Christian and goes on about good Christian values all while ignoring them himself and actively partaking in the evil he says he's against with his sinful writing material.

I admired him for a long time but his book and his stance on ai art really eroded my image of him and I really didn't like the kind of guy he's turned into.

[Wiskerthefif]

So, I'm a writer, not an artist, so when I initially saw this video I remember being impressed initially by the Supergirl image, because I don't really have a discerning artistic eye... That said, the longer I looked at it, the weirder I felt. Like, I could tell that things were just... 'wrong'. Like, I was staring at her head and thinking... is it too big? Is it in the wrong place relative to her neck? When he made the comment about 'anatomical knowledge' and fixed her shoulders, I remember thinking... no, that's not it... something about her head and face... So, when I saw you make her head smaller in literally the first fifteenish seconds of the video I burst out laughing because it instantly started looking better and it became insanely obvious what I was actually weirded out by.

Anyways, I'm bringing this up because I wrote a mini-essay in response to this video about how short-sighted he, and all the pro-ai people, are being. The focus wasn't really about what you were talking about in this video, in fact I even prefaced my essay by saying I was just going to grant literally everything he said. The Essay was about child psych and how it screams that generative AI is going to absolutely WRECK young artists in the future in terms of their motivation to actually learn how to draw or write... It's gonna be rough unless we have some big societal support for learning these talents despite generative AI existing.

But yeah, because I was focusing so hard on that, I didn't really get to think about how bad the actual art in his video was (more than one sun, everything he did was basic photoshop, etc). So, just wanted to say thanks for covering this, it was really entertaining.

[CharlieNoodles]

Shad is the type of person who has a very high opinion of himself and believes he’s amazing at everything. He admitted that he doesn’t enjoy drawing and I strongly suspect that what actually happened is that he wanted to be able to make amazing art, just like his brother, but it got hard and so he quit. He doesn’t enjoy things that take time and effort to get good at, so he looks for an easy way out. Then AI came along and answered all his prays. He is so delusional and narcissistic, I truly believe he thinks he’s as good as any professional artist and the trouble is he’s too full of himself to listen to criticism of his “work” or see his own shortcomings. I would almost feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such an insufferable prat about it.

[SylvesterLazarus]

I really don't want to be mean, but Shad in his AI Arc really reminds me of 18 y.o. total beginner myself from 2016 who traced a model's photo, added some colors to it, discovered multiply mode and its enormous power... then got mad at someone on 9gag who told me to become a better artist first and only post then. I even told them the good old "make something better, I challenge you!" thingy.. and maybe after this video's release but Shad literally made a post like "okay, I challenge anyone to make this exact artwork with this exact pose with just prompts and no editing! It's not as easy, is it???"

Sorry, Shad! You're not using AI, instead AI companies are using you as a useful idiot to promote them. They get hype and your undying loyalty, you get the carnival ride experience of being an artist. At least as mean as it sounds I'm happy that one of the big defenders of AI is turning into a seasoned lolcow at this point. And others.. like the person who I saw on reddit who appears in comment sections saying that "Not all AI images look the same! Do these images look the same to you???" then leaves 10 links to AI images that look the same, they only have a different subject matter, but they all have the super ugly AI style with nonsensical elements and boring compositions... you know, the things that can't be solved by just adding a billion extra photos and writing twice as long prompts.

[Canoby]

Shad’s not even a great writer. Dude should have just focused on nerding out over medieval weapons.

[rossthebesiegebuilder]

I love that my first thought about his image is that her head was way too big, then that was the first thing you fixed. I'm not as bothered by the two suns, though. In movie making, non-diegetic light sources are often added - in fact, it's more rare to use "correct" unaltered ambient lighting! In this case, having the entire subject in shadow obscures the detail. IMO, a better solution would be to photoshop out the sun in the background instead.

There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal.
There is no strength in flesh, only weakness.
There is no constancy in flesh, only decay.
There is no certainty in flesh but death.

[plotagonroy]

He could be a professional painter like his brother Jazza, but I don't know why he just don't learn from him. He would probably do a lot better with art then.
