AI is Evolving Faster Than You Think Pt. 2 (Art and Beyond)

A continued look at what’s going on in AI. This time we take a look at everything from AutoGPT and a fake AI Drake to AI art and copyright law.

Absolutely spot on with the major record label analysis. They'll make it illegal until they can harness their own version .

This man did a great thing by releasing the photo but not accepting the award. He proved the power of AI

[srki]

Past me: I can hardly wait for AI to advance so that it can do technical things while we humans can focus on art and entertainment.
Now me: this is not what I expected.

[ruffmeow]

I REALLY appreciate these AI videos! Having someone update me on all of the things AI happening is worth while. It can be hard to glean updates on my own.

[GengoSenmon]

Continue putting out these AI updates. Excellent job including impactful philosophical questions society is forced to answer and weaving them into current events news stories.

There’s one aspect of our life that A.I. art encompasses and fits rather brilliantly – it’s the speed of the content that is pumped out and instantly forgotten. This whole “speed” thing is the bane of human artists: you spend hours (often days, months, maybe years sometimes) crafting your piece, then when it’s done you put it out… aaaand it’s rendered irrelevant after several minutes, buried under the speedy stream of content. You get your “5 minutes of fame” (or maybe not even that) and the thing you put so much effort and dedication into is literally gone, cast into oblivion, buried. So, throughout recent years, the only way to “stay afloat” for artists was to create a constant “online presence”, to pump out as much content as possible to “beat the stream” and stay relevant. With A.I. art this whole thing becomes irrelevant since one can technically create an infinite stream of A.I. art, thus boosting one’s “online presence” to infinity – “a new piece every second!”

So, what I’m driving at is that a sort of paradigm shift is required in terms of how we access art, how we appreciate it, and how we value it. No idea how it’ll turn out, though.

Three years from now, we won’t even recognize this world anymore…

As an artist I'm having a hard time with how I feel about it. On the one hand, it replaces my ability to just be an illustrator. On the other hand, it makes me feel like I'm an art director, and it could help me do projects that I, in the past, would have needed a TEAM of people to work on. So, do I miss the old ways? Or do I prefer being a fake art director? I feel like I could more easily make a video game than ever, as an example. I can only make so many assets on my own, but AI can help me figure out colors, and even character designs, so I can just illustrate them into my game.

His podcast is underrated. Super cool to listen to you two talk normally about this subject and then see this incredible video about it. def subbed to both channels

[sonneh]

It's so ironic that the one thing we always said AI would never be able to do (creativity, art), is one of the first things it's actually good at

[Bimmer_MD]

I've read Yohei's prompts that he used to create BabyAGI and he most definitely has at the least some coding experience. The vocabulary that he used in his prompts were coding terms.

[grantbeerling]

As a designer, I'm inspired, follow trends (even if I think I'm being original), and mould into something new for others to enjoy. None of my work has ever been copyrighted because I'm a Landscape Architect. I just keep improving. Now with Ai all of Architecture as an industry is in fear. The reality is that packages of work (normally 5-10 stages of packages) would take three people, two mid-level and one senior, two weeks (10 days) often one long day due to alterations/mistakes etc. With Ai with decent libraries, one person 2 days if not quicker. So thousands of surplus designers, graphics renderers, rendering programmes etc. Gone. So Keynes was right after all about needing to find time for leisure, UBI? it's just who owns the asset? And at what price. Should be elected transparent governments, not DAVOS-type corporations. It's all down to RENT.

Dude your content is unreal. Thank you so much for your research and development 🙏🏼

3 ColdFusion videos on AI in 3 months, we’re screwed

[Flewty]

I've just discovered your channel two weeks ago, and I'm blown away by the quality of your videos. This is high-standard journalism.

[AnthonyEitnier]

Love your AI videos. You are doing a much better job than the broader media.

I’ve worked in Silicon Valley for decades as a programmer. The reactions are the same I witnessed from newspapers, music labels, and others. People get angry when they’re faced with becoming redundant from new technology. Even my programming job is going to be extremely diluted within the next 5-7 years. It’s just the nature of human curiosity. Change is always occurring, we’re just living in a time where the pace of change accelerates so quickly we get to witness multiple cycles in a single lifetime, making it far more impactful / noticeable.

[emperorofpluto]

Awesome video. The pace of technological change is mind blowing.
I am 55 years old and my first computer (circa 1981) didn’t even have a hard drive - you had to load the OS from 5.25” floppies (which took about ten minutes) and the entire system was 64k. Games were mostly text based. Graphics was like “Pong”. Nowadays we carry more powerful computers everywhere we go.
The next few decades will be even more mind blowing until Skynet wipes us out.

[petermainwaringsx]

The pace is such that things must change in the time it takes Dagogo to produce these cutting edge videos. Always a quality production.

I learned my skill as a paste up artist 40 years ago when most stuff was done by hand - retouching etc. 12 years after I left college, I got my first computer and have learned all the iterations of photoshop and other graphics software. I learned to combine my hand drawn illustrations with the digital effects and efficiency of graphics software. We have to adapt - it is one of our strengths as humans. I am experimenting with AI image generation and then combining it with my own illustrations and digital skills in photoshop. I believe we need to see AI as a tool that we direct our concepts with, build on and innovate with. It is not going away any time soon.
However, I do feel that how images are sourced by AI should somehow be legislated for so that living artists are not left without a way to live because people are making knock offs of their work.
It is a dichotomous and difficult dilemma- this I will agree on.
