> Book and music album covers are often done with AI

These suck. Things made with AI just suck big time. Not only are they stupid but they have negative value on your product.

I cannot think of single purely AI made video, song or any form of art that is any a good.

All AI has done is falsely convince ppl that they can now create things that they had no skills to do before AI.

This is not inherent to AI, but how the AI models were recently trained (by preference agreement of many random users). Look for the latest Krea / Black Forest Labs paper on AI style. The "AI look" can be removed.

Songs right now are terrible. For the videos, things are going to be very different once people can create full movies in their computers. Many will have access to the ability to create movies, and a few will be very good, and this will likely change many things. Btw this stupid "AI look" is only transient and is nowhere needed. It will be fixed, and AI images/videos generation will be impossible to stop.

The trouble is, I'm perfectly well aware I can go to the AI tools, ask it to do something and it'll do it. So there's no point me wasting time eg reading AI blog posts as they'll probably just tell me what I've just read. The same goes for any media.

It'll only stand on its own when significant work is required. This is possible today with writing, provided the AI is directed to incorporate original insights.

And unless it's immediately obvious to consumers a high level of work has gone into it, it'll all be tarred by the same brush.

Any workforce needs direction. Thinking an AI can creatively execute when not given a vision is flawed.

Either people will spaff out easy to generate media (which will therefore have no value due to abundance), or they'll spend time providing insight and direction to create genuinely good content... but again unless it's immediately obvious this has been done, it will again suffer the tarring through association.

The issue is really one of deciding to whom to give your attention. It's the reason an ordinary song produced by a megastar is a hit vs when it's performed by an unsigned artist. Or, as in the famous experiment, the same world class violinist gets paid about $22 for a recital while busking vs selling out a concert hall for $100 per seat that same week.

This is the issue AI, no matter how good, will have to overcome.

Ive made a ton of songs I enjoy with suno. Theyre not the greatest, but theyre definitely not the worst either.

I mean, test after test have shown that the vast, vast majority of humans are woefully unable to distinguish good AI art made by SOTA models from human art, and in many/most cases actively prefer it.

Maybe you’re a gentleman of such discerningly superior taste that you can always manage to identify the spark of human creativity that eludes the rest of us. Or maybe you’ve just told yourself you hate it and therefore you say you always do. I dunno.

you couldve given me an example instead of this butthurt comment :)

Sure! Here's the results of Scott Alexander's fairly large-scale "AI Art Turing Test": https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/how-did-you-do-on-the-ai-ar...

Note that this was already almost a year ago, and the results should be even more one-sided now.

Of course, your opinion may be subject to selection bias (i.e., you are only judging the art that you became aware was AI generated).

Reminds me of the issue with bad CGI in movies. The only CGI you notice is the bad CGI, the good stuff just works. Same for AI generated art, you see the bad stuff but do not realize when you see a good one.

care to give me some examples from youtube ? I am talking about videos that ppl on youtube connected to for the content in the video ( not AI demo videos).
