It is iconic for sure
Marcus McKenzie
definitely a deliberate inclusion
Alexandre Honey
Believe Zizek gang gang is not AI but someone doing an impression I think. Otherwise yet another masterpiece from you Brad bravo
Molly
nice work, thanks
Roger Peet
Good stuff- in addition to Jathan's "Potemkin AI" I've appreciated his more recent idea of the "Hapsburg AI", the LLM that has become corrupted by feeding on the outputs of other LLM's
Billy Rennekamp
Do you ever post transcripts of the videos online?
Lydia Kuzak
Just like the invention of the camera started surrealism and non-realist painting, AI may prove to start something more exciting--let's hope anyways
Ernesto Castelli
does Brad have ay links for AI tutorials that helped him create AI renditions of those painters he posted on instagram?
Robert Jett
The point about new technologies being used as shortcuts for originality + the end state of representation being the creation of art in the image of the self. Really interesting video, thanks
Adam Garcia

Randomly didn't really go over automating graphic design and the whole AI influencer/ Only Fans model phenomenon. I Don't feel represented.
thistle
what makes you say the art world was late to adopt social media and smart phones? how did that lead to a rapid consolidation of power? would love to better understand this bit.

Please make a book of your reports as a collection of essays I’ll pay 8 million
Andrew Kay
Digging in now, thanks so much man!
Sam Thompson
When AI makes an art of its own and either gatekeeps or has to try explaining it to humanity lmao
Alex Longthorne
Amazing as always
Russell Yazbeck
Brilliant stuff as always. Patreon's video player sucks.

Really interesting. Parts on misinformation, content customisation and ai as a selfie-art creator were really fascinating. I totally understand the pressure to repeat yourself as an artist. I used ai to generate imagery for people who pay me for dumb painting/T-shirts and it saved a bunch of time. Artists have always had to create bad work for particular rich clients in the name of survival, happy for ai to make that part of life less time consuming.

Truly incredible and important work, thank you, Brad
James H. Wood

Liam Tate
Great stuff, thank you
Theodore Barrow
Not for nothing, but hat mic looked like AI
Addison Bryant
This put a lot of the ideas I’ve had about from AI into words in a much better thought out way. It seems like every remotely left wing artist that I follow is of the stance that AI is evil and you’re a bad person if you use it and I just think it’s naive to think we can close Pandora’s box and get rid of it by protesting loud enough. I think a lot of ways AI has been developed and implemented are extremely unethical but if we die on this hill and refuse to engage with it we will be left behind just like the people who protested digital cameras and photoshop.

Is this Patreon's own video host? I preferred downloading the reports when they were on Vimeo or Youtube.

Goddamn this was fantastic.
Kit Lamb
Part on misinformation was great
Sean
More. More. More. More. I wish this was 2 hours long. Can the AI make up another 90 mins?!?!

Wow
