I still do a lot of photoshopping by hand, but AI image generators are getting so good that I feel it will be unneeded soon. That will just give me more time to learn other stuff. I think people thought the same about Photoshop initially too. Probably even painters vs photography when that happened.
I think the key is using your imagination, and your critical eye for the end product. That's the difference between something good, and slop.
Ughhhh this is a friendly kick in the ass from the universe through you 😂🫂
the videos I make are processed through AI - I tell it the effects, and it then writes the ffmpeg commands 😎
I even got it to write a script to add subtitles to my video with a custom color for lyrics
so yeah, you can be dependent on it, but I think so long as you're actively stretching your imagination - you're still learning, and there's still chance you can retroactively study what happened, should you want to integrate the concepts without AI
Yeah I don’t know how to do any of that yet. All I’ve done is asked if to make me a picture of a butt with a boob on each cheek and it couldn’t do that so I said fuck it
Neither did I! That's the whole point! You can ask if there's a way to do something in plain text (command line, video processing, image/video editing) and working with it can help you get there.
You just need some
and then fold and contort it in weird ways with your words so that the result ends up like you want.
You definitely have the imagination 😉 so you might need to focus your attention just a little, so that you can be an imaginal contortionist 😁
Yep. I started out trying to animate those PFP snowflakes in kden. There were ~1000 so that was an insane task. I ended up using Python & ffmpeg to do the animation, saving to a video format that allowed transparency, and overlaying on a snow video. Researching all that myself would have taken a long time, but chatting with AI made discovering the necessary knowledge way faster.
I've produced writing in different styles, which has helped me a lot in dealing with writer's block & burnout
image prompting has manifested thoughts and concepts, scripts for reproducible video editing.
Purely offloading mental work is where you'll get dependence and cognitive atrophy, is my guess, so that's something to definitely be aware of. If you're making it do the creativity for you, yeah you'll stagnate and you'll get some half assed result.
At least from my experience, it allows me to be continually pushing and improving, rather than just offload cognitive tasks that I don't want to learn or do myself.
Yes! I've been using voice chat to help with learning kdenlive for video editing. It's less "letting AI do it", more "AI teaching me". Stuff I would have taken days to realize I needed to know I can figure out in hours now.
