AI art

Oh, my God.

Speaking of things that fit the podcast, do you know how hard it was to get AI Art to do something for us for the show earlier in the week with how fast we went to four skins and just how prominent that was in the show? It was not happy.

It breaches community standards to do a lot of things that I was trying to ask it to do.

It took ages.

he just came

out publicly against uh skank fest because we uh we ended up using ai art for some of the comedian um announcements what happened was we paid an artist to do him he didn't get him to us on time so we had to make a final decision like do we have artists um images or not so we had somebody do ai ones and look the reality is like i wouldn't have It wasn't my choice, but at the end of the day, it's like, it's just not a big deal.

This kid Jeffrey Asmus comes out and he tweets.

He's like, yeah, sorry to announce I'm not doing the AI slop comedy festival presented by gas station heroin or something like that.

He's open for Soder a bunch.

Yeah.

And I was like, dude, I was like, what's your issue? And it was like, yeah, dude, you're fucking using AI art for an art comedy festival.

I was like, first of all, motherfucker, like we pay 175 comedians.

Now, if I'm criticizing them, it would be remiss of me not to end the video with my own prediction.

I predict that a model will be released in the next year that will break state-of-the-art benchmarks across at least four different modalities simultaneously.

I would claim that was passed with GPT-4.0 in May, which broke certain benchmarks across text domains and in audio, vision understanding, and other domains.

But what's my prediction, which I think at the very least is quantitative, that OpenAI's valuation will double again next year, absent an invasion of Taiwan by China.

I got to give it props for that.

And in general, I think if you are willing to go there and you have an open mind, this challenges you to start thinking about gen AI art and what that means, you know.

Can a machine make art? That's the question.

And would you enjoy that art? Because that essentially is happening here.

So my question is, should AI generated art be counted as real art? And I think I've got a new career.

AI art is selling for that much with a couple of words put into an AI.

Pretty easy money.

I disagree.

Oh, yeah, me too, Alexa.

Sorry.

Yeah, I don't think there's a bullish, I'm not bullish on a market for AI art.

Good.

What happened?

So, like, was it three weeks ago, two weeks ago, UK Games Expo put out this big statement, finally, after people had been badgering them to for like a year or two, and they'd pretty much been saying nothing, that it would ban AI art from the convention.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Yes.

So basically, one of the exhibitors paid to do a promotional post and sent them an AI art and they posted it.

Used it, yeah.

I'm just pointing it out.

Um, boys, is it just me or are we getting to the point where we could be like, AI art is a little bit cringe, and it's never good.

Have you guys seen any restaurants with AI art yet?

[laughs] The b- the, the brochures and the-

Yeah, the halal, like-

Yeah.

Go to New York-

The Uncle, the halal AI art is awful

...

AI art, AI image generation, people are, "It's the end of create-" No, it's not.

It really isn't.

Okay? But what it will do is it will create a new art form, and what it will do is it will create a chain reaction in every other art and affect them enormously.

Then they realized it wasn't.

Okay? Yes.

And AI art, AI image generation, people are, "It's the end of create-" No, it's not.

It really isn't.

But I'm not sure if that's something you've noticed at how steelbooks look differently.

Um, I would say, you know, everyone is going on about the, um, like the AI art and this looks trash and fair enough.

I mean, I think a lot of, um, the, the, the rehashed Scream Factory steelbooks-

Yeah

Um, Dunkirk is a great example of that.

That just has a 5.1 soundtrack and it sounds fucking incredible.

Um, and- But if you have Atmos as an option and you don't include it, I mean, that's probably licensing, but that prevents me from wanting to buy the movies more than probably the shitty AI artwork that's on the, on the covers.

Um, and with Disney, uh, as you said, I, I don't trust them that they will release standard versions of these, um, because Disney can be just fuckwits like that.

by its own definition, has to be between human beings.

There is no such thing as AI art.

There's no such thing as it.

You can use it as a term where you like.
