ICYMI over on tiktok AI is hitting hard on genx.
I've always said wrt AI, expect the unexpected, the future's gonna be weirder than anyone can imagine. Skynet is the last thing to be worried about.
This is the real #aiart #AIArtCommuity
ok this is blowing up. Lots to say, and I do have a soundcloud, but instead: pls donate (eg @ahbap ahbap.org) for earthquake rescue in Turkey & Syria. 1M+ are left homeless in subzero winter, and weakened buildings are still collapsing from major aftershocks🙏

I don't wanna be known as the tiktok filter guy, but ICYMI after attacking GenX w teenage filter, tiktok just dropped a new filter to take out Millennials & GenZ. "Beauty filters" are not new, but the precision on this is beyond uncanny. This is psychological warfare & pure evil.

0. I dont know the nearterm solution to online content being scraped & used in training AI, to the horror of many artists who fear for their livelihood, and to the excitement of those who find joy & liberation in this new medium.

But a future solution cld be:

#AiArt #Artstation
1. ALL content uploaded online to be shared *publicly* is automatically recorded on a blockchain (& IPFS or similar). Yes like an N.F.T. But not for the purpose of selling or shilling. Instead, it's simply an immutable public proof-of-authorship.
2. This public proof-of-authorship is on an internet wide, distributed, public database (i.e. like a blockchain + IPFS - henceforth called "WWDB"), as opposed to multiple privately owned databases like ArtStation, DeviantArt, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Artbreeder, Tumblr etc.

it's worth remembering that progress in generative (mostly image) AI has been insanely fast in last few yrs. And that's mostly in fundamental tech (GAN, CLIP, DDPM etc). Now that there is very promising proof-of-concept tech working, expect loads of funding & startups on tools.
you have a book that you want illustrated? it's going to be cheaper to use an automated service offered by some tech company to produce illustrations, than hire an illustrator. You have a film you want scored? It's going to be cheaper to use an automated service, than a musician.
there seems to be a rhetoric going around that "if you can be replaced by a machine, you're not rly an artist". Which is as sad as it is funny. Coincidentally, I RT this 👇 just few days ago. But clearly the term "artist" is causing some confusions...

The thousands of replies & QT to this thread is worth going through.
The job displacement that is abt to come in illustration, design, music, video editing, all creative sectors, is going to be very painful.
Current txt2img tech is already incredible, but is only the beginning.
My thoughts on automation of "creative" jobs haven't changed. But I didn't think it wld come so soon. Transformers rly were transformative!
All junior design roles are first to go. Only the most unique will survive. And ofc many new stars will be born.
While i believe that this tech does bring incredible opps - even "democratization" - to many around the world (think of the wonderful careers that have been made possible thx to "laptop music"), it will undoubtedly be abused by less benevolent actors - both corps & individuals.

Friends, something has been bugging me for a while. The world is burning. We have unsustainable habits that need to change. And changing old habits is hard, really hard. But has to be done. And yet, it seems we are also adapting *new* unsustainable habits ... 1/2
I find the rise of #cryptoart (& crypto-everything for that matter) mind-boggling. I've been looking for quantitative metrics re ecological cost - excluding production of works, & isolating minting, sales, transactions etc, but info seems sparse. I'm open to pters & thoughts 2/2
The fact that a single ETH transaction costs 25 kWh, and the fact that this is legal, seems to me a sign that we as a civilization just don't learn, or don't really care, and are doomed.
