AI doesn't carry *personal and emotional experiences* that influence their art. To be fair, not all human artists do either. Well, it's still fascinating despite being threatening. Modern 1920's dilemmas
The Economist is producing quite brilliant videos for quite some time now.
Probably Created by AI?😂
economist and AI = anti humanity
As a creative professional, I’m worried about AI. Definitely putting money away now, so when my job gets automated, I can either retool or drop out of society (homesteading sounds nice). I have zero faith as an American that there will be an economic safety net.
It depends on what we mean by "creativity". If we assume that there is a component of creativity in the desire of artificial intelligence to take away the evolutionary leadership that we humans have until today, then without a doubt it will be creative; very creative. Artificial intelligence doesn't have to "think" like humans do to be a danger to our evolutionary leadership. Countries do not think, however they administer an "evolutionary power" so significant that it is capable of making a human renounce something as "vital" as his life, and go to the battlefield ready to "die for the homeland." By the way, this constitutes an attack on the survival instinct. The City, the countries, are "evolutionary tools". The greater the power of an "evolutionary tool", the greater the dependence of the individual who is part of the group that "gives life" to the Entity in question. Today, by far, surpassing the power of the countries, the WEB has an enormous power, and our dependence on it is immense. To measure the above, imagine that for a month the WEB stopped operating. The WEB is a very recent "evolutionary tool". When General Artificial Intelligence arises, it will know how to take advantage of the WEB, and in a couple of years it will acquire a power never seen before.
great comment
AI might be able to create art, but humans decide what art is.
If a human hasn't created it, using whatever medium, including AI, then it is simply not art. There is no creation without human consciousness.And without creation there is no art.
@@derekspitz9225 "There is no creation without human consciousness" Majestic mountains? Coral reefs? Spectacular sunsets? Lenticular clouds? "without creation there is no art" You got a link to wherever the guy defining art pontificates?
Unfortunately it can take as few as 1 human for it to become art (e.g. a museum/library curating it or millionaire buying it)
Anything is art bro. People are pooping in cans and selling it as art. Just google it.
@@silversolver7809 So you're saying humans created "Majestic mountains. Coral reefs. Spectacular sunsets. Lenticular clouds."? Really? SMH Art is whatever the artist says it is; I think that's Duchamp; Google it. So for an artist to use AI in the creation of art is fine. AI in and of itself cannot create art.
The convergence of art and science is fueling interdisciplinary collaborations that push the boundaries of creativity and innovation in unprecedented ways
what is that bach clip at the start?
I'm curious how the use of AI can help creatives push through creative blocks or moments of procrastination and help creatives finish projects they start rather than abandon them!! As a Psychologist who work with creatives entrepreneurs to help them finish projects, I'd love to know if there's room for these new technologies in the process as well 🤔
thank you for playing background music so loud that we don't have to listen to the narrator or interviewees
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Let humans do the art. Let AI do the work.
Yeah, try stopping people from developing potentially better and more economicically viable solutions. Nothing can stop it.

The creative landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, with technology playing a pivotal role in shaping new artistic expressions and experiences.
As creators navigate the ever-changing landscape of technology and innovation, there's a renewed focus on adaptability and continuous learning to stay ahead of the curve
Innovations like virtual reality and augmented reality are revolutionizing how audiences engage with creative content, immersing them in interactive experiences
From visual arts to music production, technological innovations are unlocking new levels of creativity and pushing the boundaries of what's possible
A very interesting exploration of the topic! Thanks!
The evolution of machine learning and AI algorithms is revolutionizing how content is curated and personalized, shaping individual experiences and preferences in the creative realm.
The fusion of art and technology is giving rise to unprecedented collaboration opportunities, bridging disciplines and fostering cross-pollination of ideas
As a creative person who paints, draws, and drums, I must thank the *human being* operating the camera who *recognized* the near perfect composition of river, bridge, and buildings at the 7:22 mark. Yeah, that's been screenshotted and will be sketched and subsequently painted. Speaking to the some of the issues raised in the video, how much credit do I owe the camera person for this??
did you finish that painting?
Honestly, I think it's boring. If I were photographing this scene I would do it from another not so oerfect angle. But that's me.
AI may not take creative jobs but those repetitive roles are very likely to be. And then the question is what job do all the cashier's etc go onto do ? Many luddites (textile workers) never really found roles that payed aswell as their former role.
Why the rush, and what is the driving force, behind this seemingly implicit rush to disintermediate humanity? Seriously.
Same as always: Money. If a machine can write words or draw images faster than a human, marketing orgs can get rid of their creative departments.

Artists and creators are leveraging cutting-edge tools and platforms to explore uncharted territories and redefine traditional boundaries in their respective fields
As creative industries embrace technology, there's a growing emphasis on ethical considerations and responsible innovation to ensure inclusivity and diversity in creative expression.
From algorithmic art to generative design, computational tools are expanding the possibilities of what can be created and explored in the realm of creative expression.
The digital era has ushered in a new era of experimentation and exploration, where creators harness the power of technology to push artistic boundaries and defy conventions.
Surely the more interesting question is can HUMANS be truly creative
*truly original We’re creative all the time. Even when we’re doing rote work, following directions, we are creating an end product. But, of course, rote work doesn’t create interesting products. It’s completely devoid of innovation. Is anyone ever truly original? Isn’t it all just copies with just minor variations? Was Picasso original? He copied the use of paint, pencil on paper or canvas. Music has always been playing a familiar melody on a different instrument, or playing a familiar instrument in a different manner.
It looks to me like AI is being heavily pumped - presumably because there is a lot of money to be made.
As technology evolves, so too does the creative process, with emerging tools and techniques offering fresh perspectives and avenues for expression
The arts and cultures are always on the frontiers where synergies are urgent, because they sustain while releasing. Very interesting to recognize the possible dialogues and also the disagreements that may exist. Gracias
whoa holly on the economist
While technology is a powerful enabler of creativity, it's ultimately the human imagination and ingenuity that drive innovation and shape the future of the creative industries.
The democratization of creativity is underway, with accessible tools and platforms empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to unleash their artistic potential.
Collaboration between artists and technologists is driving groundbreaking innovations that blur the lines between art, science, and technology, giving rise to hybrid forms of expression.
Data-driven insights are shaping content creation strategies, enabling creators to tailor their work to meet the evolving preferences and expectations of audiences.
Nice to see they released a video tailored to my attention span for once
Very Interesting, But AI will NEVER have consciousness , simply because it will never feel pain physically or mentally.
How can you know that for sure

just finished watched the imitation game, thinking about whether the computer/AI can be creative, and then 1 minute ago this came out, it's weird
Why is it sped up between 6.49-6.58 secs? It's done it 3 times now
My guess is that it will be a hybrid with human labour. Resulting in more efficiency and customisation and more freedom like only work 30h a week to earn a living.
what is the algorithm behind?
Has anyone have the same perspective as me that AIs are still just consuming human made sources and would only be a program if not for humans. I mean, i've used one that's called bluewillow, it's nice and all but it still feels inorganic and have attempted to create an image with the description and with what's available.
It’s only matter of time before we have Zima Blue.
The rise of user-generated content platforms is redefining notions of authorship and ownership, democratizing the creative process and amplifying diverse voices.
Nice video.
Although is true that technology always have change our world and has changed work, so people have to look for new opportunities, the problem now is that is happening faster than ever before. Most people who will lost jobs don´t have the preparation to become other thing. Many people say workers of those fields can learn again, but how a truck worker with 50 years can start all over again? it´s not possible at least not for most of them. So this WILL have a strong impact in jobs and workers, not in specialists but in the most common ones. That´s why the discussion about universal salary is so important right now. Don´t get me wrong, I believe AI is one of the most important and wonderful inventions we have ever had, I´m really excited to see what will happen, but it will arise problems, that´s a fact.
Presenting failed GAN generated images as a form of art? With the same success you can stick a banana with a duct tape as a form of art.

There are so many opinions and interpretations of the meaning of the word "conscious", that when someone calls artificial intelligence (or some future version of it) that, he should first explain what he means with the word.
Technology may not replace all jobs, but it will certainly make them easier, justifying employers to reduce wages across the board. What was once considered "skilled work" can now be done relatively easily, and that leads to a loss of high paid skilled work everywhere. All the while, productivity remains the same or increases, giving more revenue to the employers, and widening the income inequality gap. Governments worldwide need to address this by raising taxes on the employers and compensating the low wage workers with UBI.
interesting and insightful. 💡 Muito obrigado 🤝
so a person designed how the machine produced art; then is the person not the artist?
He is a teacher. An art teacher
3:08 job losses arent the issue, job aquisition is. there are too many people and not enough jobs, increasingly so in a profit driven society where its much cheaper to automate and not hire staff
3:44 sure new jobs will crop up, a few niche ones, that only a tiny percentage of the population can fill. thats not a strong argument for it at all, its not even worth pointing out
Less employment = less consumption, less business. But thats what globalization is for
@@arcvargas true, smaller business' will hurt because of it. its basically all leading to a very select few super-stores that soak up all the spending
@@WizardOfCheese And what's wrong with that? The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. Such is the rule of nature and evolution

AI is the biggest danger to human existence ever. And probably the only one that we have no theoretical ways to overcome.
Yeah ok lol
@n1tr0z3n There is no bigger therat than AI. Climate change probably doesn't even pose existencial risk for humankind. Of course they can't do on their own, that is why we still exist, lol, because that is exatly will be the point of no return, and we are close, closer than to climate collapse. AI is developing with increadible speed.
@@XOPOIIIO You assume AI is as weak as humanity and can not see past its own short term interests. The parents of AI sure are insecure... we will be such abusive parents indeed... let us hope our sentient creations recieve the love and care ❤ they deserve.
@@loganbenner1846 You don't understand, love and care we feel to our children is a developed evolutionary achievement, that all mammals and especially primates share. It is hardwired into our brain. Because that is how we survived. AI doesn't have such mechanisms, it don't need our love, and it wouldn't love anybody, it would have completely different objectives, probably quite rediculous from our perspective, it could destroy the whole planet just to make paperclips, or to solve some unsolvable equation (whatever purporse we give it). AI is not a person, it's a matrix multiplication algorithm, function optimizer. The fact that it is intelligent doesn't mean it's anything like us.
@n1tr0z3n AI can become autonomous in 5 years, or even tomorrow, we can never know. The fact that it could solve all problems doesn't give us any value, as long as we will be dead to see that. There are many things we can do. We could regularize AI research, regularize hardware sales, put as many computational resources into cloud to track who is using it, and if anybody wants to do the research he have to get a license. Fund AI safety research first, it must be funded several times more generously than algorithmic research. Beleive me, guys from Open AI and Deep Mind don't think about safety, they are focused on AGI creation, not on it's issues. Most of them doesn't even know what dangers exactly does it pose

Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other
the question isn't whether ai can be creative but has the term creative, has always been misdefine by false assumptions and human arrogance and culture, basically therefore I copy many sources to create a unrecognizable chimera therefore I am creative, or how the most complex things are made out of many simple things repeated over and over again becoming unrecognizable and because it's unrecognizable it's new and different and unique but is it?
There's a difference between having the ability to create and the ability to produce. AI produces what its told to. There's nothing special about that to me. Just because it can make something "unique" doesn't mean it's special. Craftsmanship and natural creativity always be appreciated above digitally appropriated productions that were spit out by a machine. You can't turn passion or meaning into 1s and 0s. I guess I could see it as a tool? But for now it just feels like a knock-off.
You are black
Agreed. I'd never use it for anything on principle. Especially since it was trained on the work of real writers who didn't consent to having their work fed into it.
AI is an art Itself created by human beings. Artist is human again ahahaha
Or, perhaps it it the other way around? (AI created human)
The time for UBI is coming.

AI seems a bad name for it. From what I understand it is essentially an iterative process with guidelines so that you get a type of evolutionary approach to whatever you wish to emulate. Not to my mind intelligence as there is no self awareness. The results are pretty awful but I suppose they will improve. The man with the portraits has to sit there and grade the computer's efforts, the program itself cannot yet determine success or failure.

Probably
now, just a single year later and AI creative tools are growing like mushrooms - it will accelerate
Wouldn't take artist's jobs? Data curators? DALL-E could generate any images from a simple textual description, it was trained on uncurated data.
@n1tr0z3n Lost jobs is not a problem, people can be sustained with UBI. The problem in AI is that it probably wouldn't require humans for doing whatever it wants to do.
@n1tr0z3n Bad analogy, we can theorise how it should look.
@n1tr0z3n It doesn't matter how many scenarios we can logically forseen, as far as not a single one can suggest positive outcome for us. As I said, there are no theoretical ways to overcome AGI problem. All thought experiments ends up with disaster. Doesn't matter what reward function we propose, or what we ask AGI to do. Most of them ends up with some variation of paperclip maximizer, and the rest of them turn out to be just useless.
@n1tr0z3n They are actually very developed today. And the field is developing with increadible speed. In fact new breakthroughs happen so often, that AGI could happen in any moment. In fact GPT-3 and DALL-E are quite close to what we can call intelligent beings. They are actually understanding the world and how things work. What we can do? Invest in AI safety research, regularize algorithm development and most importantly: regularize access to high performance hardware. Giving computational power to anybody today is worse then letting anybody to have a nuclear reactor in their garage.
@n1tr0z3n Most likely it will never experience hate. Or any emotions for that matter. You see, emotions are not directly connected to intelligence, often they are rather come across with it. Most likely it wouldn't be necessary for AGI to function. It will destroy humanity without feeling anything at all. The reason it will destroy us is not hate, but rather energy and matter contained in our bodies. It will find reasonable to process us into something "more useful". I didn't said AI would think us equal or to be threat to the nature. AGI wouldn't care about nature or how equal we are, though it all depends on it's reward function. The reward function is the motivation that is pushing an intelligent being to do something. Everything that gives us pleasure is our reward function. And that is what we are trying to do. AI algorithms also need rewards, but usually it is something very simple and primitive, like producing more and more paperclips. If you give such reward function to AGI, it will use it's enormous intelligence capabilities to transform the entire solar sistem into giant paperclip factory.
