Please ask your frenemy Alt Schwift X to make a new episode of my favorite podcast GOT Abridged, thank you!

Hey dude hope ur well. Just wanna mention that if you use AI art in your next video i am sorry but i can no longer support u on patreon. If there is no art work for the character just leave it blank or use an emblem or symbol. If you need to use AI to expand a picture just leave it blank or use a different image. I dont think there is any ethical reason to use generative AI art, it is theft period. The amount of electricity and water it uses is incredibly wasteful and harms the planet. Please reconsider, it was already heavily disappointing seeing it in the Jon Snow video. You are one of my fave youtubers and your videos genuinely bring me so much joy but i'm sorry using AI in your videos is a dealbreaker.

Shift stream and new Joe Abercrombie book drop in the same week? Lucky me!

Some AI is wasteful and theft. And some “AI” tools are eventually going to be recognized as a natural evolution of the “paint bucket” tool. In the 80s/90s Digital design was criticized as artless compared to ink paint and canvas. Right now we’re working through which new tools will contribute to art and which will be used to profit from others art, so I think it’s good to be measured and considered as you have been.

Been meaning to leave this comment but I haven't had the time to sit and write it thoughtfully. And sorry for adding to more AI discourse, because I know this stream is about much more than that. But anyway - I am a professional video editor that works on internet content, so I understand your position. I think you make a lot of valid points about the nuance and it's pretty clear that you don't *like* it or prefer to use it, and I trust your judgement greatly considering I've been watching your videos for nearly a decade. That being said, I - and many of my colleagues in the industry, feel that if the content you are making is for profit, that the use of generative AI is unethical. I have personally used an AI upscaling tool on 2 videos, and frankly even that I'm not really happy about, but I think that it's completely reasonable for professional use because it's not creating anything new. Personally, I've used AI photoshop tools, the "neural filters", and the content aware generative fill but never for anything I've published. And like, it's pretty clear how much adobe is pushing AI across the board between Photoshop, Premiere, and adobe stock. I don't really care for your use of AI, I really don't think it makes your videos any better, and it's a tad disappointing for a creator that I really greatly respect. I understand the compulsion to want accompanying images for more obscure characters, but I really think that it's a black mark on what are otherwise really well thought out, creative, excellent videos. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I would unsub from the patreon if you keep using it, especially considering how sparingly it pops up - but I would tend to think that your target audience of people who hyperfixate on a single creative work would by-in-large see it as a negative. You're not making content mill youtube shorts, give yourself some credit. Sorry for the ridiculous rant, and I look forward to your upcoming content.

Thanks for the thoughtful response Vinny! I really appreciate the feedback. Yeah increasingly I think we'll avoid AI images. I've always preferred to commission artists. Smaller tools like AI upscaling and Photoshop's Generative Fill are pretty damn useful though, and I doubt I'll stop using them entirely. I'll continue to listen and see how things go.
