Let's for a moment assume that is the case. And court follows your argumentation and all your fantasies comes true. Stable Diffusion allows training with own material already. And has already kicked quite a few name prompts out of their weight. You cannot longer type in a name of an artist from artstation. It will not work…
"Diretcly affected are in real just a handful people. Greg Rutkowsky for example, who is used in 90% of all prompts that tries to achieve concept art look. He has on the contrary made it into history for that. And still works as a concept artist." You are in no position to claim who is affected and who isn't, or to decide…
While I personally disagreed with using premade assets in 3D for a beginner I totally understand why it's useful for more experienced 3D artists simply because it saves time filling a scene. I would be lying if I said it wasn't useful to use premade assets and assemble them in a scene, it's working effectively. Whether…
I actually think watermarks is a pretty good idea. It doesn't fringe on censorship or denial of services. of course, people can simply not use them or remove them, the same way people do now. but saying it will help nothing is going too far I think. Gun laws, copyrights, banning of drugs, murder being illegal, etc…
Great post! I am not sure I agree with the quoted part. I think that is more like a result of over-competitive space where the employers have exploited the common youthful desire to fit-in, conform, and prove themselves to maximum extent. It is toxic and I don't think sustainable for a career, which might be part of the…
@Phiona This is actually an incredibly relevant remark IMHO. When asked what they do for a living or even just as hobby, many artists would not even call themselves artists, but rather go straight to describe what they love to do, often in a slight self-derogatory/humble way even. For instance someone who draws manga might…
Hey everyone! I've had a lot of thoughts about AI lately and hopefully I can chip in a bit here to help people transition a bit. I'm not advocating for AI or saying that it's good or bad... but we have to accept that the genie is out of the bottle and it's not going back in. I've been working in gamex/vfx for over 12 years…
Indeed, an informative articulately written piece. There are a lot of trade-offs, and no easy answers. Artists and creators will be harmed economically, and it’s nearly certain that industries will be disrupted or even destroyed, although perhaps it’s too early to say which ones and how soon. It’s possible that the…
Seems a bit premature to run away from Artstation. Granted, their current stance towards AI is disappointing but I think they may still come around. It's only been a few weeks and we're in the holiday period. You do know how this works out in a company, right? Everyone away on holidays and all until a bit into the new year…
all the law is threat of violence, and almost exclusively it is used to protect the owning class, not the working class. Wow. Just wow. I have stopped reading at that point already. Whatever you say my friend, whatever you say. And we don't have AI for music yet, right? Of course we have, since eons. Also here no lawsuit…
