Why I Use AI Art in My Videos: Lets Talk About It

while i have my personal thoughts on using AI to replace artists and just entertainment creators in general, AI should be used as a tool, not as a replacement. you using AI as a tool to have viewers visualize the characters, settings, etc. is fine. and you’re right, many people are using AI on Youtube and Tik Tok for a while but i think many people including myself are afraid that AI might inevitably become a replacement for artists. there’s definitely a line between the two subject matter of AI, but the way you’re l using it and your reasoning is completely understandable.

As an artist, it’s so incredibly petty to strike someone immediately for using your art, even if a few emails voicing how you would like credit, dislike how your art is being used, etc, could’ve solved the problem so easily. However, the commision situation is crazy. Especially because you PAID for that art, and they are getting more publicity BECAUSE you’re using that art.

The artists are not valid in worrying about this. They are worried based off of massive misinformation. You have no need to explain yourself or make excuses. AI art is valid and it's a great choice for people making videos like this. You are far from the only channel to face a nightmare from using fanart and even official art. Artists suck, and there's always someone out there who doesn't understand fair use or just wants to make a quick buck (which is why they're anti-AI). It's a wise decision to use it, and as AI art continues to improve so will your outputs.

careful of using ai art in connection to harry potter content you are harbouring terfs

Most of the people who use AI in art will be remembered neutrally, if at all. The people who are against AI in art will be remembered negatively. You're on the better side

Great video! There are of course things AI probably shouldn't be used for.. But I fully support its use for these purposes, and I think people who're against it, are frankly being shortsighted luddites, who don't realize they're behaving the exact same way, as those who criticized digital art in the 90s and 00s. Heck, some of the things I've seen people say about AI art, were word for word said about photography over a century ago.
The anti AI crowd fears it will out compete them, and make it impossible to earn a living. This concern is actually valid, AI will likely do that, although there'll always be a small market for authentically human made stuff. The unfortunate fact is, we cannot stop AI, and it won't just do this to artists, voice actors, creatives, but to nearly everybody's jobs. Human workers will simply be too costly in comparison, as far as most businesses are concerned. If left entirely unmodified, this will cause our economy to collapse. It's a change that requires people wake up and form a massive movement for economic change.
I think we should demand an AI Dividend for all. It would act as a return on our data investment, which we all contributed to training AI. Ensures everyone gets their rightful piece and can still contribute in the economy, even if they lose their jobs to AI, it would give them time to figure something new out.

I make traditional art and AI art. Personally, I view AI art as an artform. In some circumstances the AI art I do takes more time than some of the other types of art I make. I also think its a great option for people to get creative when they don't think they have and/or lack artistic skill sets. I have a friend who doesn't believe she has an artist skill set but has a very creative mind and she makes AI art to get her emotions out. The fact is that everyone has their opinions on everything. No one can make every single person happy. So do what makes you comfortable and happy.

Every time they do that it's usually out of ego

I get your overall reasoning, but I’m just not big on AI Art. I prefer art done by actual humans; they just have more authenticity and heart. Nothing beats the human touch, in my opinion.

I disagree with the narrative that AI is hear to stay. I view it as a fad that corporations are using to penny pinch and screw over workers like they always do. It's been horrible for the environment and for art broadly. I understand using it if you can't afford to hire real artists or just want to dick around with it and make funny memes, but it's not a replacement of the real thing, and never will be unless an AI gains sentience or something.

7:26 LMAO drunk snape

I’m ok with AI Art but it’s cross the line when people use AI Art as a real

Get em, folks

Haven't watched any of your videos but it's so nice to hear someone who also has more nuanced takes on AI!

I am artist as well btw.

I feel like you're using AI the way it should be tbh. I like that you edit the images and not just slap it on the thumbnail. However I do have to disagree about using stuff like Hollywood as a good example because, even casting the ethics aside AI is not professional enough to be used in its current state for professional media.

I'm your case it's fine since you're a small creator but big studios should not be using AI considering it's massive flaws which makes the product look unprofessional. Again in your case it's alright because people don't expect you to have a Hollywood sized budget.

I also think your friend should use AI very sparingly. Too much AI takes away from the final product. Unless of course it's supposed to be a weird dream like horror which is where AI really shines imo.

However since you edit the AI pictures why not do that with pictures from the movies and stuff? Like if you do it enough it's your image

Why the frick would artists who decided to pay you to use their art come after you?!

I some how miss this vid so i watched it now. Its really sad to see that you get anxiety/stress over something as simple as art. I wish you the best

Honestly I can't blame you. Some people are just scumbags full of greed.
