NFTs and AI Art on 3/6/2024 6:12:13 PM

So I posted this thread just three months ago and the advancements AI has had in just that time is absolutely insane and is at least for me, incredibly disconcerting. I've been watching my YouTube ads turn into advertisements for just about every program incorporating AI into itself in some capacity. Now you no longer have to write emails, or proofread your writing. In fact, the program I'm using to write my contest entry even has a "ghost-writing" feature. So just about every company has eagerly accepted AI.

I remember watching Airheads' intentionally uncomfortable AI-generated Halloween ad four months ago and wondering what in the world it was. When I learned it was AI I figured AI would never become as powerful or uncanny as it is now. . .

Like Sora AI, which I'm sure you have heard about by now. The AI trained to create lifelike videos. The video that shocked me the most was this one with a woman taking a video out a train window.

I think I hold mendolajames' view on the program in this post on OpenAI's forum about the matter.

"I work at Laika as a stop motion animator. As a professional animator, I am blown away by the capabilities that Sora seems to demonstrate. I’m intrigued, but also terrified. For the longest time, stop motion animators have feared that CG animators are coming for our jobs. Instead, it now seems that AI is coming for all of the CG jobs, and that it’ll likely come to conquer all of the stop motion jobs shortly after that. I’m interested in lending my unique perspective to OpenAI however I can. I also want to warn OpenAI that Sora really seems to have the potential to put a huge number of people in film and animation out of work. Perhaps that comes as no surprise."

I just wonder about the public's perception of AI and if people will also eagerly accept AI to create their animations and entertainment for them, or if there will be pushback. Obviously, Sora is already controversial. We will see in the near future if any big box films will use AI.

But, in good news, there is a definite desire for practical effects in film again. I've noticed quite a few movies I've seen lately incorporate practical effects in some capacity. Let's hope AI will never have the capability to build real life sets.

A few things. . . I feel like a historian for these kinds of things now.

Researchers at the University of Chicago developed Nightshade. A program that "glazes" your art and poisons AI generators that would use your art in their training. It is free to download and use and edits your art in such a way only computers can see it.

Bad news. . .

I was looking up historical paintings involving couples as reference for my own art, only to find half of the image search results are AI-generated. Even from websites such as Adobe Stock, although Adobe has been eager to implement AI into their applications and have done so for awhile now. But most based digital artists pirate the programs anyway or use alternatives.

I had to add a specific "-AI" into my search and it definitely makes me feel like the end grows nearer. I really feel like in just the last few months AI-generated everything has exploded everywhere. It makes me wonder what the state of AI will be at the end of this year.

Also, my friends and family have been buying me these adorable Pudgy Penguin figures and plushes. So I go to their website to redeem my neat code only to discover that they're NFTs. That's right, they even got to the penguins!

They're still finding new ways to profit off NFTs.

New Year Stream! on 1/1/2024 1:04:29 PM

2

Last night the community of CYS joined me on Discord where I streamed some art and my voice was revealed. When I was then informed I pronounce some things supposedly incorrectly.

2

I started off with some warm up sketches as Ford and Tim kept me company.

2

At the beginning I was a little nervous having all these eyes on me and EXPOSING my art process. But soon we all settled in and I think I spent more time laughing at everyone's messages.

2

End had some trouble but eventually he joined us too.

2

There were some breaks between my working on the illustration and some requests too.

2

Some, a little more disturbing than others.

2

But minutes before the clock struck midnight, I had finished the illustration! And I hope you all have a lovely New Year!

I genuinely had so much fun and I'm so glad to have spent the countdown with you all. And I definitely hope to do this again soon!

I love the implication I stop the fight after every gift for a wardrobe change. This someone certainly knows me pretty well.
