It's about the hate that pior spreads here. Not about that he dislikes AI. How shall we discuss with each other when we call us with names? You can dislike or like AI without to become personal for disliking the others opinion. That's at least my opinion. I don't want to lead the discussion from scratch again since we…
i am not trying to get rid of this competitor, as i know i can not. I do what i always do. make nice art and hope it will all be good, that there will be people who we work with who value art done by hand and that there will be people who will not. there are already clients who we do not work with for various reasons,…
How much time do we have left to have the real possibility of earning income and being able to continue working in CGI, video games, design, and any other trade where the creative process of 2D/3D/texturing is involved? I have discovered some tools that frighten me and add to the list of things that threaten our work and…
well, if you're not going to embrace the power of gpt3 it does yeah wrt recruitment - I've not seen it yet but I'm not hiring concept artists. I imagine it's going to be a huge pain in the arse when hiring programmers in fashionable fields (javascript and it's spawn) cos the market is already flooded with awful copy&paste…
"Now enter the AI which can do digital art. Its doing the same thing as the average digital artist, which is to just produce mindless art which it can do much faster and often better. That drops digital arts value to a rock IMO." This last point is so very true IMHO - and that's probably the saddest part about the whole AI…
There's nothing to really gain by embracing AI in the way the tech bros are marketing right now. Ultimately whatever you accomplish easily gets drowned out by the glut of prompt typers. And at every step along the way a well trained artist will still coax out better work from it and be able to process the output in a…
@ModBlue what do you mean by value in this case though? do you mean like, what will artist do in order to enjoy their craft and find personal value? Or market value? If market value I think i'd disagree because there is never going to be a market for anybody to do things in a slower way. I mean, there would be some niches,…
Digital art I think has long lost its value due to not only inherent issues such as the ability to easily duplicate files, but also issues that cropped up over time such as sheer oversaturation due to the social media mindset of 'gotta make a new piece every single day to outdo the other guy'. Ultimately all thats…
See, this is what separates the wheat from the chaff among designers: people put too much emphasis on the nouns and adjectives of a concept (i.e. "A [red] [car] that looks like a [bumblebee]") while overlooking all the principles like shape, rhythm and balance that account for the quality of the design. The former domain…
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…
