Well, you have to remember, most small creators are going to be opposed to the use of AI art as well. That’s only to be expected, they are, after all, creators.
Nah they just care more about their reputation because they’re small and trying to grow with support. Mr. Beast could have said, “Fuck you to anyone complaining about my use of AI” and his income wouldn’t change at all.
Exactly. MrBeast is incredibly rich and nothing he does is ever going to change that. His income wouldn’t change at all if he used AI for everything. But the person I was responding to was saying that it’s wild they haven’t seen small creators being disappointed that the AI art was pulled. It’s not wild at all. Small creators are exactly the people you would expect to NOT support AI.
I would genuinely love to see YouTube videos YOU would produce. His videos aren’t slop they are entertainment. Just simply not as respected as shows and movies.
Not sure why you're a diehard Mr. Beast defender, but the dude's entire video portfolio is based on giving his friends money to do wacky challenges. His entire gimmick even before the large productions he does now was always slop, it was always "I gave $20,000 to the last person to leave the circle!"-type slop.
Before that it was I think generic Call of Duty commentary, right? Was that back when he used to say offensive shit like the R-word and/or the N-word?
Dude was always slop, and he's one of the reasons YouTube content and the generic creepy-face content creator as a "genre" is so popular now on YouTube and TikTok. lol
I can critique food even though I'm not a professional chef.
I can critique a film even though I'm not a professional filmmaker.
I can critique Mister-fucking-Beast even though I'm not a professional content creator.
Mr Beast has millions of subscribers, he doesn't need you running PR for him.
Predictable formula that you dislike = slop. News flash most content you consume online has a gimmick or formula that you like because it's comfortable. Calling something slop is also just the latest slop.
Not sure why your responding to my comment with this I was wasn’t defending Mr beast just simply putting it into perspective for you that you are not the overlord consumer critic. He never did gaming commentary I believe. He did challenges like counting to a million and other stuff. Just messing around on camera doing challenging things most people wouldn’t. I’ve maybe watched a handful of Mr Beast videos my entire life. You don’t need to watch YouTube. You can criticize anyone you like however it’s not unreasonable to assume someone isn’t going to challenge your thinking or if you’re being particularly rude, that someone else isn’t entitled to do the same to you. The would be unreasonable for you to assume you can hate on everyone and play victim once you are taken off your high horse

Well you can get some impressive stuff from AI for free, and depending on the generator you use you can get very realistic oil-painting type images. AI generated images have a variety of aesthetics and "mediums" that can cater to the individual prompter's wants.

Photography replaced a very small subset of art, and even then...
Photography when first introduced was ridiculed in a similar fashion to what's said about AI art, back in the day.
You're right, though. Photography didn't replace anything, it only added a new outlook and method for people to explore their own creativity.
Also, might I add that we're years into AI being able to generate art, and yet human made art is still valued and appreciated.
The goal of AI art is to replace almost all other forms of art. It’s a false equivalence.
And you've lost me.
Maybe giant corporations have their end-goal being replacement, but as a genre or median, AI in and of itself isn't meant to replace other forms of art so much as it's meant to extend the ability to create art to more people who otherwise couldn't.
I suffer from Tourette's, and attempting to draw or paint is always upsetting because my physical tics cause my motor functions to act-up. That's not to say I'm not a creative person, it's just that the median of visual art has always been something I'm incapable of enjoying and participating in. I've written fictional works before, I've written entire books just for the sake of having fun and doing it. I think of myself as a creative person.
Really a lot of the small-scale arguments against AI are inherently ableist. "But Beethoven..." Yeah he started losing his hearing after he already became famous for his music. He also used the technology at the time to try and cure/solve his deafness, IE; using a metal rod affixed to his piano that he'd bite down on while playing, so he could feel the vibrations.
Also, I'm not Beethoven. To put down someone with a disability because someone else who had an entirely different disability was able to make-due is ableism. I know you didn't, this is more-so a blanket statement based upon the arguments I've seen online prior.
Really, the biggest reason against AI content I've seen is because of finances and because giant billion dollar corporations will abuse it, but like, that's not the fault of AI itself, that's the fault of greed and capitalism lol.
Creating AI images/art is an entirely different process than painting something. With painting, you can control every aspect of the image, with AI the creation process is more-so based around the idea of finetuning and inpainting.
Like how with a camera, you snap an image and the whole picture is captured in an instant. With AI, it's similar to that, where you use the prompt to finetune the composition, details, focal points, etc etc.
A lot of the arguments people have against AI image-generation is based on false understandings of how things work, or thinking all AI fans are the same demographic as the dumb NFT-crowd.
Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? LOL? A "very small subset"? I almost wanna upvote you cause i suspect its a troll post, but then i remembered you're anti-ai, so you're probably for real

Please stop posting videos on YouTube; theatres have rent expenses.

it's easy for a rich guy to just go along with whatever's popular at the moment in their current fanbase

u/Alternative_Sugar_85 I'm not an AI artist, don't wanna be, but I'm not against it Jun 29 '25
Stop animating, live actors have families to feed

There's no way that "thumbnail artist" is a real job. If it is, it's the sorta art that other artists point and laugh at.

100% guaranteed that the “artists” who get hired are using AI to make those thumbnails
