Thanks!

I think this is a demonstration of what will eventually be integrated into photoshop and the like, a way to generate stock to use in an art piece, i design books and see this as a great helper ti get the exact thing I need instead of searching hoping someone has made it. Google uses images on websites in their image search all the time, so much hate for what will soon be commonplace.

I don't get it. You've typed in a panda. Colorful clip art appears.
What did you create??

how can i get this for free, i dont wanna pay that much, that is super expensive lol

I'm a traditional artist and I started posting frequently recently about AI art as I love it. I haven't had any negative reactions. Lots of negativity in the comments here. I just see it as another tool for creating art.

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day–in and day–out." –Robert Collier

What I don't understand is why people don't see the immense amount of USER input is required for these images. You have a vision in your head of what you want, then you need to think of a prompt that has a chance of generating a result you want, then you need to weed out all the results that aren't exactly what you envisioned. After all that, if it isn't exactly how you like it, you can try to make the AI re-roll that same image until you get closer, but you wont ever be exactly on point with it. Then, after all of that, if it's still not 100% what you want, you can modify it and adjust it manually. That right there is why AI art is art, the end result is filtered through what you see as what you want. I could generate 1000 images, but the one I choose for whatever I need it for would have survived my scrutiny.

People who make art commissions are the only people I see who are very vocal about being against AI art. I don't know how much creative freedom commissioned artists have, but if all of you actually care about the "heart and soul" you put into your artwork, you wouldn't want other people asking you what to do and then critiquing anything they don't like, then possibly being asked for a refund and just dealing with the insane demands of people. A majority of commissions will be exactly that. I don't see why AI art is your enemy when it will filter out most of the people who expect way too much of you and want to pay you very little. When you are a commissioner for art, you are just a tool to those people, so I'd rather them outsource it to something that is a tool and not a human being.

Legally speaking now, I think AI art is 100% transformative and is not "stealing" or "theft". I think the copyright system is a double edged sword, and when you ask for one side to be sharpened, the other side is sharpened as well. I think the abuse of the copyright system by music labels, mega corporations and the like, is incredibly destructive for our economy and stifles creativity. They have virtual monopolies over any intellectual property they own and use it to extract as much money as they possibly can and hold it with an iron grip. On the other hand, it's great for preventing mega corporations from stealing the works of genuinely talented creatives and claiming all the spoils of their work. I just think that if you make the copyright law a lot more broad to encapsulate any possible use of one's work, it gives more power to the big companies that don't care about anyone but themselves.

Art is one of those things that can be seen as either a product or a service, and for people who see it as a product, they want to be able to manufacture it in scale, while people who see it as a service, will still want people to make their art. A perfect example would be cooking, you can either grab some processed food off the shelf that tastes great like some pasta or something, or you can attempt to do it yourself as an amateur, or you can go to a restaurant where your meal has been prepared by hand possibly by an army of chefs in the back or one chef you like in particular.
There will always be a demand for human made food, even if you could get some processed food that supposedly tastes like food this one chef made.

As far as the ethics are concerned, I hope artists do lose their jobs to avoid another cotton gin scenario. The person who invented the cotton gin hoped to make the lives of slaves easier, but ended up making their lives much worse because they were expected to produce much more than they could have originally. I think with the onset of AI art there is a serious risk of overworking and exploitation of artists that have careers, which I think is worse than just straight up losing a job because your passion for art might be squandered in the process.

The real issue that AI art brings up is the fact that people see it replacing jobs as an "ethical" concern in the first place. What kind of screwed up system do we live in when your economic value is equivalent to your value as a human being? That being said, people have been forced to make compromises for the sake of their continued effort to feed themselves and put a roof over their heads, and it's not impossible for any struggling artists to do so as well. I hate that we as a society are forced to work in order to live in the first place. It's so backwards, but until we have nationwide and possibly even worldwide changes that guarantee the rights of people to a comfortable life with food and shelter until they can contribute to society, then we must make compromises.

We cant halt natural progress just go along with it and adapt

It’s astounding to see the polarization of this comment section. Spoon Graphics, from what I’ve gathered, exists to make these creative tools more approachable and accessible to viewers. He makes tutorials to share these processes and to show a different way of approaching a creative problem. This is just another tutorial for those whom it may concern. If you don’t find it helpful to you, then it’s not meant for you. Heck, I use this channel as a source for Adobe Illustrator tips and tricks (so technically, he’s been making Ai tutorials for a while now – oh no!) and the occasional Photoshop “how-to.” I don’t see everything on his channel, because I don’t need to.

As I’ve said, this is just another tutorial, and I don’t believe this video should be used to discredit his channel. This channel exists to make informational and instructional videos like these – that’s it. He also provides creative resources to other artists and creators to further enhance their workflow and creative freedom in platforms like Ai or Ps. This isn’t any different. He (and frankly, I) sees this as a tool, so he’s just sharing it as one. He wouldn’t post it if he thought it was anything less; there’s no point to a tutorial if it isn’t useful.

Have your feelings about AI, but don’t take it out on him.

We distaste AI art because it steals other artists' creations, not because it will take our jobs, and if a software company needs our work as the basis for AI, please pay for it.
By the way, if you are so determined to promote AI art and support him, why not bravely show your dislike??

whats the difference with people adding 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k to their prompts?

Yikes. Didn’t expect this channel to condone theft and plagiarism of artists. That’s an unfollow from me.

ridiculous, unsubbed

This is a huge step backwards in our civilization. People get their belonging from other people. You study a profession , spend rookie years trying to better yourself , aiming to go ahead of yourself to reach another level all your life. Then suddenly people start to value a machine generated images more than human art. This will lead to extreme break down in society as we know it. Not only people will loose their jobs and identities but it will serve the greedy others to feed humanity meaningless effortless options that are always a mixture of real artists work that have been data based. For us, its only art if its made by a human that spent effort and earn t skills practicing. Future is going towards McDonalds everything. Only humans can say no. If they say yes they will loose their souls and become nobody. Ghost in a shell . Wiser if somethings stay in movies as fantasies.. Calculator is a machine that helps you do your calculations. But it does not have eyes on your career. Machines must have limitations when interacting with our values and culture.

Here’s a method where you can create art that uses stolen data from other artist! 😊 like, comment and subscribe! ✨

Booooooo

Hmmm…even as a pretty experienced graphic designer at his point, I've followed you for awhile cause you never know what you can learn from others.

I know, as a graphic designer, our job was the first creative job being sought to be replaced with AI. Hell your tutorial seeks to benefit those who wish to avoid doing graphic design than those who caught the profession. You're not enlightening youth on interesting art techniques to emulate effects they've enjoyed. Your showing businesses how they can make this stop being a career path for those future youth.

Disrespectful and lazy. Bye.

Gross. Been watching your stuff for a long time, but supporting such a scam like AI art crosses the line for me

Bro take this down haha

Great vid, i didnt know about the inbox trick!

Thanks as always for your content.

No AI art. I'll be unsubscribing.

No to AI Art. Period. I'm unsubscribing.

Next up: "how to use a microwave to heat up a frozen meal and pretend you're a chef"

Ai generated images that steal other artist's works without their consent. Yeah… No thanks.
