Thanks for watching! The video above is a primer on how we got here, how this technology works, and some of the implications. And for an extended discussion about what this means for human artists, designers, and illustrators, check out this bonus video: https://youtu.be/sFBfrZ-N3G4

at 7:44 Is the background music From Sayonara Wild Hearts? It sounds so similar. "Clair de lune"

@inflatedick February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

looking back at this now shows how scary and innovative ai has become

@arielkotzer496 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

still my go to video for gen ai. well done. really well. hats off.

@Rinkamo February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

it's simple. A.I does not CREATE, it is GENERATE.

@heathen3278 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Too hard to understand

@JesusGodHolySpirit3 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Art is NOT based on typing a word(s) it is based on your OWN imagination! AI just ruined AUTHETICITY of art. it is not from the artist's heart! Ai has 1 place in it the trashcan.

@chrisder1814 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Hello, could the LLM allow me to do image editing, I mean remove the background from an image and could it allow me to do it in bulk?

@joMojojojo February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Coming back only two years later … it's hilarious how we're drowning in image generation tools that work more than perfectly

@Kluqse February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

AI generated things can't be art.

@godsofradio February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

It is taking away the very thing that makes us human. ability to Learn

@obisidianusyuh9721 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Interesting…

@TahliaDreaming February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Ai art generation is addictive. I get such a dopamine hit from seeing the images come up in response to my prompts. Because I always have an idea of what I want, it's not a simple process to get exactly what I want, and people don't realise what a process that is when they say AI Art isn't art.

@xonious9031 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

This is only 2 years old but it feels so dated as if it's from 1930 or something .. It really didn't age well at all

@molugusatyapriya2 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

AI art creates original visual pieces by fusing creative processes with machine learning algorithms. This method investigates novel avenues for the production and interpretation of art.

@elenan1217 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Ok, let’s hope that art bar will rise again like we went from plain hyperlink html to a nice web design that exists these days, hopefully people will notice ai created art and will be able to rise a bar. 🙏

@doodlefisher234 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

So does the deep learning model find similarities between the actual images in terms of the arrangement of the RGB data, or is it reliant on the text captions that accompany the images in the training data?

@Gyork_ February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

would love to hear an update on the impact and general opinion about image generators so far.

@TeamJY February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

We've come a looong way in the last 2 years. Not sure if it's for the better

@ericswain4177 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

AI art, explained. ? What's to explain It is not real art in the sense of what Is conceived to be art by an artist which is a being a soul, spirit, or spiritual entity, It was created by Artificial means no being or soul, spirit, or spiritual entity. The programmer of the AI or developer gave parameters but that's it the AI gleaned whatever is or was available that fit the parameters to assemble a picture based on those parameters, not the programmer.

@harperbye February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

If it creates dimensions in latent space as described in this video as "roundness""shininess" etc. it would do the same for artists work. For example it would use "blurriness" or "muteness" for colors for mimicking certain artist, which essentially these are metrics artist itself created and connected for their style through year and years' experience. So really, ai actually copying.

@Jean-rg4sp February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

I had a question regarding how AI images are made but this video was way too complicated for me to understand. By the way, I am a native English speaker and I earned not one, but two masters' degrees (Psychology and Anthropology).

@laurieromano4311 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Artists get their images stolen.

@DE-eVOLVED February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

I am still confused..?
50% say the AI companies own all images you create with your own ideas..and that you cant use the images due to copyright..
..
But the other 50% says the images are generated from a copy of the original image which is then manipulated… and that creator then owns the images…
..
Then there's the thought that the copied image still derives from someones original image so its still copyright infringement ..?..
..
Why the heck is copyright so complicated ? …..its a mine field especially if you are a new creator…
..
Perhaps YouTube should have its own AI Art Generator that creators could use with confidence and piece of mind that zero copyright issues will arise.
..
I hear one of the HUGE Ai companies are in court at the moment for this exact reason..
..
Understanding copyrighted music, video and AI art etc is like giving a ten million page full colour thesaurus to a colour blind primate with dyslexia…
..
this needs to be easier for the average creator that just want to make good content.
..
All I want to do is design and use AI Art for some thumbnails….but due to this insanely big grey area for a majority.. myself included…I have refrained from doing so…
..
Does anyone know of an AI picture or art generator I can use to make thumbnails and possibly a channel banner …again, with out fear of copyright…
..
Many thanks 🙏🙏

How the comments are 2 years ago?!!

@le8307 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

we had the choice of being metaphysical and mental.. with ai we choose mental. and we are so smarter then those ancient primitive people!

@BrittanyArtPoetry February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

One of the regulations I think they should put in place is creating a name blind spot. So for instance you couldn’t search Seafoam Dreams in the style of x artist, simply because you don’t want to pay for that artists work. Styles yes, like ‘Seafoam dreams in a surrealist style’ but by searching for artist names it is blatantly copying them, which of course is only possible because the technology was built with stolen images, at no point were these artists compensated, which makes sense since building this AI meant scrapping the bowels of the internet for training material. But in terms of copyright that’s not great, and while a case can be made for educational based exceptions, like how art students obviously are influenced by the art they enjoy, it still has the key points that determine a copyright claim. Namely it is a piece of art that profits off of another’s work, for purposes other than education, or creating commentary. And while there could be a case for transformative work I’m not convinced that it justifies how AI based searches on an artists name inherently devalues the artists work.

@ArdaBylan February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

AI is good until bad people use it

@rosenorton7597 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

With the creation of AI art, music, and what will eventually be whole movies with AI actors and voices, what’s the point in a human being in any creative industry anymore? When AI can do it faster and cheaper?

@ashikmahmud3399 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

That mask looks AI generated 😅

@studiocadet February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

There is no INDIVIDUAL behind AI works, therefore, it's not art

@garyperkovac1002 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Being an actual artist and animator, I react to the notion of creativity being assigned to a computer. Never forget… the computer doesn't feel, think or even exist as a human being. Free will is NOT an abstraction.

@longlivethefriday3776 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

7:45 This version of Clair de Lune is by Conor James Donal O'Brien. It's a part of the "Classical Repertoire: Remixed" album. Now you don't have to comb through 3000 comments like…certain people who won't be mentioned…

@Phantom-hy2ix February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

More artists and non-artists need to watch this to understand how it works, so that people are not afraid of using it.

@asmahabib4553 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

All of a sudden we are all photo editors.

@Austrocious February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Calling these people artists is like a kick in the face to real artists.

@JacklynGibson-l6o February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

As a researcher working on generative models, this is one of the best, clean and concise explanations for the tech! Kudos to the Vox team! :')

@peacefusion February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

the amount doomers and scardy people in these comments

@Shark-pj8in February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

I dont think its really coping peoples images as seen by how it makes images in the vidoes.

@babyzorilla February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

They’re going to have to train AI That we have bones

@哲子仮免 February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

Real life scribblenauts.

@artofnick February 16, 2025 - 12:57 pm

The early AI text to images are SO low resolution because the maths used to fit the prompts were so complex. Over time better algorithms like Fourier transforms were able to fit prompts to training models MUCH more accurately and quickly.
