In the still before the clip starts, whatever that's called, you are unrecognisable with that look on your face. As in you look like someone who looks like Adam Savage. And I could be wrong but I think you look younger! (sorry)
Regarding art, people are again making the wrong assumption about AI in giving it some form of motivation or agency, at least for now, currently it is just another more effective tool, I still have to ask it to create that image and if it isn’t any good or doesn’t make any sense then I’m the one that has to change the parameters of the input.
All that has happened is the removal of the skill barrier to entry.
Regarding production of goods, the US is screwed as it will probably need the government to take over the production of basic goods and services, and I don’t see that happening in the US, or they start giving away the basics for free, just like you don’t have to pay for an email address you might not have to pay for basic food because you are the product and it is worth it to just give it to you.
As a creative it took me years to realize limitations breed creativity. And resistance can make mediocre ideas great
You can tell that journalists are using AI to write and it’s not a good thing.
AI is interesting, but were filling with our bias and need to be conscious of this.
Brilliant take. I was so happy to hear the point of view angle
As a member of a maker/hacker space I can confirm that they can provide great opportunities to mingle with other creatives.
It's actually relatively easy for AI to assume any point of view, and even come up with its own, given rules and objectives. It could mimic any human's thought patterns, more and more successfully, and will eventually surpass any human's capability. As it stands now, most movies made today are derivative and fornulaic, and AI might just change that. It will be a different paradigm, and will hit differently for sure, but I think it's inevitable that the world will get used to it, and accept it once, for instance, movies start surpassing anything we thought possible up to this point. With a generous help of human direction, of course, at least for a while. But it will more and more become an automated process, but that means that acttual human input will start to be valued more and more. That's my point of view ❤
Great video, Adam…👍
I'm here because of the awesome AI generated thumbnail.
I see art as just a form of communication, and I've just been struggling with the question, do I have anything worthy to say? Of course I do, just need to ruminate a bit. AI can't ask themselves that question, at least, not yet.
i love your originality when you talk and express your views, love to hear your prespective great job
once AI gained the ability to blend multiple pictures or styles into one creative piece, it was all over for us because thats exactly what we do
I wonder what his thoughts are now with GPT-4V(ision). In the wood working space the vision element could unlock quite a few "second eyes", "measure twice" kind of use cases.
YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING!!!!!!
It helped me get more creative with my 3D work!
You know, my issue with AI is that a lot of folks out there just don't quite grasp how to harness its power effectively. It's kind of like that time Amazon had to lay down the law and ban a bunch of Kindle accounts because they were treating AI like a glorified copy-paste machine. I mean, come on! The real deal is that generative AI is meant to be your trusty proofreader, or even your detective to suss out those pesky plot holes. Now, when it comes to image generators, you've hit the nail on the head – they don't have a point of view.
I asked ChatGPT to write that in the Style of Adam Savage, so take it for what it's worth. I can't say if it gets that right. The words are my own.
Are we witnessing an evolution of the human mind? … or skynet?
No. And also no.
It's still procedural. AI isn't making the lateral leaps of thought yet. That's a pretty huge deficit to creativity.
The Internet, You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious, but there are bright points where minds meet to bring dreams to fruition.
The ability to conversationally discuss a topic or concept with chat GPT has changed the game for me. I’m hyper focused on not taking what chat gpt says as truth, and I’m also focused at not getting stuck in an echo chamber. Still the ability to work something out by talking out loud is a game changer that I can’t do with a web search.
In addition , the ability to converse on some random subject without boring the hell out of chat gpt is amazing. I don’t know a person I can do that with.
"Cesspool of misogyny" (the internet) – Really? I mean, I'm sure certain communities exist. But I haven't seen any misogyny wherever I go in numerous years. If anything, if you're a man, you and your opinions are less wanted and you better not dare criticize a woman.
Ai only does what it's programmed to do so that being said if you make it want to use us for its wheel grease it would 😅
This dude is fucking awesome
I find it funny, ironic and kind of weirdly depressing that people are using AI to try to replace human creativity when it was supposed to replace the monotonous boring stuff instead.
I havent seen your vids in my feed in a while, i thought maybe you took a break.
Youtube algorithm not promoting your videos?
Weird
What a lot of people still don't understand is that "AI", which is really a giant mechanical turk, relies on a vast amount of near-slavery level human labor to filter data for sensibility. That's how this is all really working – countless people around the world are being paid pennies to sit and use human intellect to verify that what the large scale computing matrix thinks is a "car" is actually a car.
"AI" of this sort is not freeing anyone of anything. It is rather promoting the world-as-a-scam taken to an extreme degree. A future where most people are "employed" as the lowest-level shovellers feeding coal into the mouth of the furnace. To benefit what will inevitably be a tiny minority enjoying their "intelligent" computing systems producing everything for them.
I think the crux of art is that it's for sending a message, or telling a story. Why should I bother reading a story somebody else couldn't be bothered to write? Even if it's "good" it'll be useless, and I have yet to see anything I found "good." The artists/writers know and care about this, and I think most consumers care about this, but the problem is corporations that have been sold a shiny future about a toy that barely works. They only care about "content," and the AI can churn out endless amounts of it. That's why I'm so glad the WGA won and SAG will win too. It's important that these stories be told by people, and it's also important that we don't let money people decimate a thriving, beautiful industry over this either.
So Adam doesn't think Ai "art" developers stole illustrators art without consent? Or does he know that and doesn't care and still uses midjourney anyways and thinks the illustrators should "get over it" or something?
I'm a developer. Here is my own take on it. For EXTREMELY small things you are simply being too lazy to write yourself, or just for the sake of having a quick result, you can ask it to do it for you. But as soon as you have something more complex, that requires several sentences to formulate the question, it WILL give you a bunch of crap. It will completely overlook information that you told it was super important, etc. Then when you tell it about the overlook, it gives you another pile of dog crap… and when you tell it about it, it gives you the first piece of code again.
I was SUPER hyped about ChatGPT at first… But the more time passes, the less I use it. Also since it has a knowledge cut off date and things move quickly in development, it often ends up giving you outdated information that isn't all that applicable anymore, especially with newer languages that are still evolving like Flutter for example. Or even miss a lot of information on stuff like the newest versions of .net…
I agree totally. But i think with enough detailed prompting you can infuse your point of view within an ai produced piece of art.
I'm sad that you didn't mention how these "ai" programs build their sources
The biggest problem with it, is that they are using real artists work without credit or payment
It's theft.
At least we aren't nearly technologically equipped yet to where 'Skynet' could raise a robot army and attack. It could, arguably, turn ourselves against each other (who knows, that could be happening right now) but that would still require human effort to accomplish goals . . . which isn't outside of the realm of possibility, considering how contrarian some people are all too happy to be.
Also, Banksy is most definitely a group of artists working together. It makes the most sense; though, it may have started out as one artist then expanded as they needed more help to accomplish goals and projects. Just the fact that Banksy has been active for over 30 years (that we know of) without getting identified suggests that it would have to be a team that works to be fast and effective in their public installations and, being a group, would make it so no specific individual is singled out.
I believe that if we treat AI like they're (Is it plural?) another person, with respect and decency, then we won't have to worry about Skynet.
I like how Adam has gone from calling his wife…his "wife", to calling her his "partner". These SoCal characters and their fear of using gendered terminology is genuinely annoying. Does Adam really think he'd be doing his wife or others a disservice by using the technically accurate term that refers to a female spouse?
I'm a software engineer, and you're quite correct about point of view. AI does NOT think; instead, it's simply a statistical model applied over data sets. And like all of statistics, there is quite a lot of error in there. This isn't something that will pass the turing test, and there is zero risk of skynet in the sense of a thinking machine. I personally think of it more as a new iteration in search engine technology. You are searching across a dataset when using it.
We know it's going to ruin us and yet we're gonna do it anyway.
