Full Interview with Ethan Smith on A.I as a Craft and its Ethical Hurdles (Patreon)

A.I Art as a Craft, and its Ethical Hurdles - ETHAN SMITH [Full Interview]

In this video Ethan Smith takes us on a journey through the Craft of CLIP Guided Diffusion Art through Artificial Intelligence, using Disco Diffusion. We'll explore the process, strengths, ethical hurdles and predictions for this new medium. The coolest thing about what artists like Ethan are doing, is they are not just trying to apply A.I to common media as a tool, but rather embracing what only AI can do and building an art form out of it. This full interview is meant to complement our video on AI Art + Artists. There was so much value in this talk that I HAD to release it.
