AI vs Hand painted - should I give up?

AI art is still quite a big topic on the internet. There are still many artists who are understandably worrying about being replaced by AI.

[Coffee Talk] Thoughts about AI art from a watercolor artist
Your descriptive demo highlighting each and everything with camera zooming into smaller details is, I think, the most welcome way to tutor as compared to the shorter edited versions where we don't get to grasp the finer details of the work. Mighty generous of you to have adopted this style, though it is taxing on you. Please continue teaching this way always. Thank you Nathan from India
I enjoyed this format, especially hearing how you think about and adjust the composition
Love this blue sky cloud watercolor 💕💕💕 This watercolor looks even better than the photo picture 👍👍👍 Great jobs👏👏👏
That's very kind. I never really thought I can recreate nature. But I really appreciate your kind words 🥰
Amazing 😍😍😍😍
Nice! Great cloud too, I was wondering how to capture one of these tall white clouds . Seems most folks go with horizontal cloud formations and not an eye catching vertical storm cloud reaching for the sky. Love that painting man.
Enjoyed the instruction. Thanks for going the extra mile. It's appreciated.
May I ask you how you film your intro so it looks movie- like? I have some of my late mother's books she wrote and would love to know how to do that or what program to use. Thank you!
After Effects
An unscripted, full length demo like this is actually way easier to make because I don't have to edit it and voice over it much. The trend is all about short video now a days, so I know what I'm doing is against the trend. :P But if you enjoy this, I will certainly share more. Let me know =) Enjoy the summer!

AI IS NOT ART
YOUR ART IS BEUTIFUL AND YOUR WORDS ARE KIND, GOD BLESS
You are a great person 🤗 The keychains are adorable ❤❤. She is going to do great on her business, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I assume it's just a matter of time before AI can turn an existing photo into a painting
Thank you for guiding us through your process. Creating art takes time. I enjoy painting for the pure joy of it - it's not my career. Just like any new technology, AI will find its way into our lives whether we like it or not. Eventually artists will find ways to make it their ally, not their enemy.
AI is thief. There is no creativity involved.
Thank you for the lesson
Artist for 50 yrs. here. Finally getting around to watercolor. Like you I tend to be impatient, so have always shied away. THANK YOU for these suggestions. I have found many elaborate and time-consuming ways to deal with paper warp. Some of them were kinda weird funny. The paper pad block seems to be ideal. I live in the desert, so dry times are brief out here.
Why do you call AI products paintings? they are not tangible objects, there is no paint involved. they are two dimensional digital images generated by computer algorithms. the only way you can make them tangible is to print them, even then they are not paintings, they are just prints. All computer algorithms works with patterns and they can combine them in myriads of ways but that is all, and the result is just a digital, virtual, computer vaporware 😂
Who cares? If you need to put a picture on the wall, then what will you choose - a real painting for $500 or a print for $5? I think the answer is obvious.
Being a corporate artist is going to be tough. But independent artists and inde artist publications could thrive as the public consciousness is bombarded with ai slop it could begin to crave human made art.
When people buy art, they are buying a piece of you, the artist, your observation, your values of what is important and your skill as a draftsman. People want a piece of art created by a human not a modified Kenwood Chef. The problem at the moment lies in the fact that people could buy art without realising it was created by a Kenwood Chef!
The thing is, in a recent photo competition, it took 80 hours to generate an AI award winning photo. You can take a lot of photos in 80 hours. same for getting the right painting. By the time you stuff around on midjourney, a decent painter can do the job. and it looks more natural anyway. You have to get the AI image out of the computer and a lot depends on the quality of the paper, the inks, etc. It's really faster to do it by hand most of the time. For some things like 3D generated images, it may be more efficient, sure.
That was g4eat help thanks 😃
Nothing will EVER replace a human, despite all the hype. I know: I worked in a 24/7 media company with state of the art IT. One of my main jobs was turned out to be constantly monitoring the servers to make sure they didn't crash: one night I spent 5 hours literally jumping from computer to computer to stop the entire system from crashing. This is the actual reality of computer based technology. Computers are nothing more than glorified calculators that repeat the numbers 1 and 0 at a very fast pace.
Looks so easy but I KNOW IT’S very difficult. You make it look so easy, but you’re a professional painter. Thank you for sharing your talent and tips. ❤❤❤
All he had to do is run the original image through a filter (with adjustments.) Took me about 5min to create similar image to his actual painting; very similar. And no AI is involved. Just ran it through watercolor filter, adjusting it accordingly, with given settings. Then ran it through oil painting filter, at lower percentage. My results were not much different from his hand drawn art. No, I DIDN’T put my heart and soul into the image, to “recreate it” because it didn’t matter to me much, but I very much could have, if it was the picture I took. I would also spend a lil more time making it the way I really want it, using digital tools, that are available out there. It wouldn’t make it less of an art, as I would still be using my creativity to get the desired results; while having fun doing so.
Isn't AI art just a massive plagiarism of other already-created artworks it has found on the internet and collaged together to come up with a somewhat new image? Could a real artist not recognize his own paint strokes within the image created by AI? How can this be accepted as a legal practice? Why has nobody questioned the actual methods that coders use to generate these fraudulent images?
Perhaps everyone could stop calling it "AI". That would be a good start. It's basically a marketing term for algorithm/data-driven automation. Any resemblance to "intelligence" is strictly limited, and mostly an illusion. It certainly bears little if any relation to the original concepts of artificial intelligence. "AI" is technobabble used to sell stuff. I'm not even sure I would call any images or objects produced by this technology "art" either. Not at least if we want the word "art" to actually mean anything more than vague references and generalisations.
There are AI tools that give you all the control you need. ControlNet for Stable Diffusion is one example. You can use a depth map, a line drawing and other things to control the AI generation process. But it does not have the same value as a real human made work of art. you still need the human eye and mind to compose the scene. One problem with AI art (which is probably a good thing) is it seems hard to claim any kind of copyright as most copyright laws are written so that a human must have been involved in the process of creation.
I really believe that artistic or musical ability is a gift from God. Some can do well with practice but some just speak from the heart. I've had two people draw my portrait. One was my art teacher that drew just "what" he saw. The other was a student that looked beyond and saw a little bit of my soul. Even the teacher commented on it. Too much of today's art is garbage. AI art is eqivalent to a calendar on the wall. Draw for the love of it. If one enjoys your work, that's secondary. When you put their opinion formost, then your work will suffer.
There is always some kind of subtext in this topic. contain that humans could be replaced by AI...but why? If you can create great images with technology, then you can do it, otherwise art is something that a person wants to do from within, from an inner urge, from an intuition or whatever you want to call it, from his heart, because he can process something through art, give something to other people through his art etc etc. why should people ever stop?? and if you want to hang a modern AI picture in your living room, then go ahead, I bet that you can place both wonderfully next to each other... so why this strange either-or discussion? It's the same with music. It remains to be seen what will last.
Put the PRINT of an AI generated picture next to a original Painting of an Artist - and immidiately no further discussion necessary....AI is faszinating, real Art is heart-touching, got the difference?
I think the value of a hand signed original is increased by AI. Reprints might lose their value though as you can likely prompt something close. I’m fairly sure a non-AI photo enhancer package could have transformed your photo into a watercolour better than AI. So all in all you have to keep going at the artisan level - so please do so!
Eric, good to see you back…AI, photographs have there place but nothing beats the human touch and expression.😊
If your art is based on copying from photographs then AI making you feel irrelevant is doing its job
It was difficult for me to keep my jaw closed while looking at these paintings
I will never purchase AI art just like I will never support a YT channel that uses AI voiceovers/narrators. Not going to happen. I support REAL humans who are doing the work.
A statement found on a music channel: "We expected that artificial intelligence would replace us with mundane jobs so that we could do art, but now we see that it will replace our art and we will only be forced to do mundane jobs."
Check discussions under films by Rick Beato and Fil Henley. They talk about fake music, but the problem is the same.
AI is a great-looking junk.
Antarber has wonderful craft items! Thank you for sharing and for reminding us that we can all support young artists. 😄
thanks Esther! She'll be so happy for all the support she gets 🥰
So sweet ♥ love what you do & can’t wait to support this magic !
Thank you for sharing
These are so cute! I suspect she will do well with these, especially for holidays and birhdays….
AI will definitely replace Academic and photorealistic art. Anything using methods and procedures.
The value of art isn't the artwork. It's the meaning. AI lacks the ability to assign meaning to anything, therefore its artwork is meaningless and valueless.
No. But don't put your work online so that tech companies/ AI can assimilate it.
Trusting the water is SO HARD. Trying not to rework is SO HARD. Thank you for validating how challenging this is and that practice is key. I’m going to challenge myself to practice wet on wet everyday.
I tried to order but I don't think she ships to Canada DX so sad!!! they are so cute!!!!
Clickbait title. Like you’re actually going to quit. Lol
As a professional artist AI worries me. I do see a silver lining in that AI generated art when viewed seems to be missing something. This is akin to a sci-fi movie made up of too much 3D, you lose interest. I believe AI can be a good assistant to artists, but too much feels toxic and void.
Just wait a couple years 😉
