The Coca Cola holiday ad for this year was completely AI-generated, which caused a huge backlash. It got a strong negative reaction all over.

The production company, "Secret Level", then proceeded to make a behind the scenes -video with the idea that there was a lot of human labor 1/x

AI and artistry - a thread on Becker's Art World theory.

Philosophically speaking, generative art differs from human art a lot. An interesting observation is through Becker's art world theory.

He describes artistry as a process that will always involve outside interference.

Fake artists. The scary future of AI?

Recently, it was uncovered that Spotify is creating fake artists under made up names that create stock music in bulk amounts to fill curated playlists on the platform. The idea os to not have to pay royalties to real artists.

The buzz about artificial intelligence, and what it might do for – and to – the film industry, doesn’t get any quieter. But in the last year, the possibilities the technology offers have perhaps become clearer – as have some of its limitations

”Tekoälymusiikki yleistyy erityisesti somessa ja taustamusiikissa

[..] Vuoteen 2028 mennessä noin 20 % musiikin suoratoistopalveluiden ja peräti 60 % musiikkikirjastojen tulonmuodostuksesta arvioidaan perustuvan tekoälyllä tuotettuun musiikkiin.” 🤮💢 #tekoäly #luovatyö #AI #tekijänoikeudet

And there it is folks.

Burkov has some good takes on AI and has a deep understanding of it, so when people I'd expect to be more immune to this sort of thing are bringing it up as an issue I find it fairly alarming.

Well worth a read. If you care about music and art.

Another thought provoking generative AI thread about politics.

I have regularly seen conversation around AI like "Left wing hates AI" or that "Liberal ideology is afraid of AI technology."

There seems to be some kind of trend that generative AI is viewed differently by different political views.

Research shows that art created by an artificial intelligence is liked less and perceived more negatively. However, this perception depends on two factors: 1. How the AI was used and on which creation processes and; 2. Whether or not the viewer is aware that the art was created by an AI,

Todays AI research, topic is nonlinear editing.

There has been several AI projects that are researching the concept of nonlinear editing, such as Runway and Adobe.

The idea is based on 100% AI generated video material that is being edites as it is created.

Todays AI observations about Sora. OpenAI released Sora publicly today in the US. This is an AI that generates videos. But what does this mean for video editors?

If there ever is an AI that creates sound effects, I want it to understand terms like "add more scrongle", "i want it more braam" and "its not sploshy enough"

Latest thread on AI research. This time the topic of "Is prompt engineering the same as screenwriting?"

Fundamentally, prompts written for an AI are very similar as screenplays. You can look at both of them as a list of instructions you write to create something.

Todays AI research update. A recent study in Finland found out that in screenwriting, humans prefer to maintain full creative control of the work, whereas AI is seen more of an asssitive tool to enhance repetitive processes. This, however, does not mean the process is faster, but rather different.

As a hobbyist filmmaker, composer and a researcher, I will be occasionally posting findings related to AI art and the implications to artistic identity and public opinion. Here are some key findings in a thread:

I’m not going to tell anyone how to do Bluesky, but I would like to encourage the following:

- Repost stuff you find interesting/entertaining - help others to find the good people to follow
- repost small creatives who you like who are trying to plug their work

Another composer here! Worked on various indie projects and films, my big project was directing and scoring "A real composer" documentary film.
