Probably referring to tech giants stealing content from creatives, without permission nor compensation. Info in the other thread. So I guess you're ok with theft from creatives, like um, us.
There's a lot in the comments that suggests that that program with an outrageous subscription price is a scam and the models are being made by actual artists. Though wth regards to stability for 3D artists, I am thinking it comes down to what you do in the studio and how creative your work is. In AAA for instance from my…
it has a lot of money pumped into it because billionaires see it as the next big step to freeing themselves from the need of labor, so they are in an arms race to develop it fast to get try and form a monopoly on it. if you know anything about history it goes like this: whoever gets advantage in new market first, wins. the…
Ha. The general counsel for Midjourney trying to claim it's a victory, when it's very clearly not what was written... Copyright Office: ""The fact that Midjourney's specific output cannot be predicted by users makes Midjourney different for copyright purposes than other tools used by artists." Midjourney's counsel:…
Heya - I don't think anyone in this thread implied this. As far as I am concerned my point is that it will without a doubt make some creative work environments very toxic, very fast. To sum up my above points I can see this happening in two ways : 1 - Loudmouth "idea people" (either high up in the executive ranks or from…
Well, that's precisely the point that other posters have tried to explain just earlier : if a diffusion system is so strongly biased towards real life car logos for instance, then it can biased up to a point were it is very likely to slap a litteral BMW logo (or that of a lesser known brand) on the hood on some of the…

One is doing the work, ten stands around and gives the good tips :) 2) That's 3D. 99% is not creative and never was, but simply repeating boring steps and following what is…
"Fair point, have you got any examples of where you can point this plagiarism out?" yes indeed thare are plenty examples by now. the biggest issue right now is not that the tech exists but how its being used right now. the databases that are fed into them are simply just mass crawled from art sites such as deviantArt or…
@Tiles : while I do believe that your points are being made in good faith (and to an extent from the position of the devil's advocate, which is always healthy) the position of "it's always been like that before AI" just doesn't hold at all. Quoting you : "2) That's 3D. 99% is not creative and never was, but simply…
I have some thoughts regarding this that I just kinda feel like writing out, and polycount seems as good a place as any to do so. This is gonna be kinda long and rambling and I'll apologize for that up front, just feel like writing it. Picking this thread as I find @pior 's comic link as a particularly up-to-date example,…
