What happens when human and machine creativity meet? From an AI model trained on classic works to generate a seemingly infinite stream of portraits to a neural network that envisions otherworldly life-forms in impossible detail, media art curator Eileen Isagon Skyers showcases mind-bending art that embraces our increasingly technological future, showing how AI can stretch the scope of human imagination and help create worlds we could never design alone.

AI can be incredible but nothing is like something created by human hands.

And that’s why I like it, some of it is otherwordly and incomparable to what you’d expect to see from a human.

This talk could have been actual few years ago. I am creating more mind blowing art than what you see in this video, today.

Not only does this talk refer to technology created within the last 2 years, the digital art sanctuary thing you’re doing was being done by people like ViHart (especially using VR) to explore virtual spaces (museums, 5 dimensional space, etc…) several years ago. Way to put your foot in your mouth.
“More mind blowing?” I get that taste in art is subjective, for example I think your art clashing with the environment looks bad, but I don’t think acting pompous is how you get people to appreciate yours. (Also, nice NFTs bud) 😅
(Also, don’t worry, I didn’t give this guy a view: the timeline thumbnails was all I needed 😘)

@Ayush Singh for their artistic value (I have thousands of unpublished works) but in some cases also for their photo realism (which can be judged not just from my work but also from some recent videos that can be found on YouTube)

Human originality would be termed “humanorganic” in case AI have such a huge influence on originality in the future. What do you think ?

Very unfortunate for an educational channel, to endorse the cheap but high-tech plagiarism by selling convenient self-narratives. There are no “AI Artists”. There may be AI “art”, if that’s to be considered art, depending on your definitions of it. But you cannot claim it as your own, in the same way you cannot claim your Google searches as your own. Blinded by these beliefs and self-narratives, AI stands as a real danger to the only heritage of this feeble (and often not very bright) human race: culture. When everything looks the same, nothing is interesting anymore. All the images you have presented, as interesting as they may prove for the first few seconds, get old really fast, and, quite frankly, look like someone was having a bad trip on magic mushrooms. What is the emotion, the message, the anything that may classify any of those images as artistic acts? Would you hang any of those images on your walls at home, or would you still prefer a Van Gogh print? Art is not just an image. Art is a process, a lifetime dedicated to a craft, and a message released upon the world. There is absolutely no originality and absolutely no message in AI “art”. Just beautiful nothings. (unfollow)

Ah! You mean like when art get used to lauder money for criminal activity, unregulated NFT scams, stolen digital art, and copyright abuse? 🙃
I get that governments are faaar from perfect and private sales are good, but government regulations and enforced laws do help artists… when they aren’t helping the corpos 😅

Nice talk with cherry picking only good the stuff of AI art, While we know most of its use was to steal non AI artists work and unethically resell their carbon copy without consent. I wonder what would these AI artists do if they had no more real artist product to feed their enigma machine that they dont even own.
Note that i’m not against machine learning models but their users are very toxic (positivity) and unethical
Rey Fairburn
August 11, 2023 at 10:43 am
Yeah this talk really seems to label anyone rightfully criticizing ai art as “pessimists”. We need to create laws protecting human artists from having their work used to feed these AI programs without their consent.

“unethically resell their carbon copy without consent”
What..? No one’s using these models to recreate exact copies of the original training data
Gondor avalon
August 14, 2023 at 11:31 am
> *carbon copy*
The only way to do this barring overtraining (which is undesirable to have) is image to image with low diffusion rate, which is a problem not with text to image generation, but … with how people use image to image!

It’s not that AI is a threat to human creativity. Humans will want to express themselves regardless. The danger is the extreme centralization of creative capital to a few Silicon Valley companies that create these models by using existing artwork from starving and non-starving artists. I rarely make comments about appearance, but this is the most well-spoken/dressed and beautiful woman that I have heard/seen in long time.

Answer: you let the AI do it better than you. It has access to the full range of the near infinite possibilities of pixel arrangements and can combine any number of subspaces in it, you just guide it through it with the prompts.

Do Neural networks use thousands or millions of images at a time?

No 😂 that is not how it works.
The model is 2GB.
You can’t compress a billion images into 2GB

There is nothing profound or meaningful happening inside these AI’s. The creation of Art requires above all intent and a desire to communicate- no such intent or desire exists in these machines- input the same prompt with the same seed value and they will give you more or less the same image over and over and over again- they will never grow weary of the repetition, never yearn to make something new- they are dead things and anyone who imagines that these dead things can be harnessed as engines of artistic inspiration are deluding themselves.
The best that can be said of them is that they might function as very elaborate rorschach blots in onto which one may project one’s own ideas- but the notion that they represent some new frontier in the realms of artistic expression is laughable. Kaleidoscopes make pretty patterns too- they do not, however, make Art.

Collaborative Ai artist yet another title you give yourself to help you sleep at night and justify the use of a technology that makes creating art so much easier for you. OK, you trained Ai on thousands of your own images then call on that Ai to produce new images based on the images you fed it. It is still the Ai generating the images based on your work but without your input how come they don’t get that.
Gondor avalon

> *to help you sleep at night*
Or maybe it’s just another name that sounded neat or sounded like it was more concise (IDK about the last).
> * It is still the Ai generating the images based on your work*
And? How is it a problem to use AI trained on your own work, especially if just as part of the process?

The thought that AI art, or all forms of AI ‘creation’, is mere auto-referencing on a gigantic scale immediately, for me anyway, de-masks the whole thing. It suddenly took a massive leap backwards from a position of interest and intrigue for me to being almost entirely irrelevant. Art, design and creativity at their noble best have always been about the ability to pluck something out of nowhere, out of thin air that existed only in the mind of the brilliant and visionary. This is more like a child rumaging around in the toy chest of forgotten gifts and getting a cheap, momentary thrill from a refound item that was briefly desirable or popular. Art is never about an archive. It is always about what is next and what is unexpected. AI has a glorious future. Not in this area of human achievement.

For me… I put it this way. A.I. And Robots aren’t inherently bad. And won’t be our equal.
How is it. ( That I can for the first time in my life ever doing it. ) I can Tell my desired texture of wide flat pasta noodles in a boiling pot of water.
From scooping one up and dangling it from a wooden handle stainless steel stirring utensil, over 15 inches long ? And feel the exact desired texture from holding the wooden handle, because I chewed pasta before? And where did my desired texture come from? You get the full fledged connection to this video right?

She says, ” this ‘piece’ is produced by, (inset human name here).. But, my questions are; how old are these “artists”.. how many years did they study perfecting “their art”.. their medium? Because I’m an artist, who’s been playing around with Midjourny since the Beta and I know that “pieces” of equal quality can be prompted by an 11yr old wannabe accountant, in under 2 days of practice… The reality is this isn’t produced by a, (insert human name here)… It’s produced by an AI algorithm… She talks about curation of hundreds of images, a repetitive task greatly suited to… you guest it, AI!
… Stop pretending that ‘Human digital art’ isn’t in intensive care, right now. The first to fall in two decade obliteration of human worth.

“Art” by definition is a HUMAN expression.
What AI does is just combining numbers, it is WE that misslabel it as such.

AI art is fascinating! It’s a blend of human creativity and technology, resulting in new and unique artworks. This makes us rethink what creativity means and how technology is shaping art. And we should talk about both the positive and negative sides of this new art form

AI creates images not art. Our inability to define art leads us into this silly conversation. Nevertheless the art industry will do it’s thing and put together marvelous exhibits that we can gather around, sip wine and prance around in various styles of blackware.

Man, this is a super video!! My main takeaway is that artists like Claire Silver ain’t just sticking to old-school methods. She’s out here mixing things up with AI, ‘collaborative AI artist’. It’s like she’s using the AI to make a connection between old-timey art and the crazy digital stuff of today. Real genius stuff, man.

Ai from strange lifeforms to imaginary influencer ai is a technology that is fascinating because we are loving things we can’t understand and now people can think of millions of images in one simple scan. Abstract piece by Sara Lady began as a digital painting.
