I did notice some AI art users looking to learn photoshop after using AI (likely to clean those funky hands) so in a way its motivating people to learn. The issue is only when large companies start using it, though I don't see what use case they would have for art generated this way. So far the use cases I'm seeing is…
I'd say FromSoftware is way more efficient than say, Ubisoft or Blizzard. They are making games cheaper and now starting to make sales like the bigger guys who were stuck in arms race. from an artist perspective I think their games have more value because it is largely the passion project of a single mind, rather than…
What a well-needed Xmas break ! I hope all of you managed to take a bit of a breather and enjoy friends and family (all that while AI-children were probably busy feverously typing into the MJ server to get the most out of their paid sub by the end of the month) There's still a ton more to unpack though (probably for…
Well there are basically two layers to this : at the lowest level, there are the billions of images and artists (+ all the relevant metadata) that got scraped and potentially given some so-called "aesthetic rating" in Laion5B - all done and used without consent. A simply query through HaveIBeenTrained using any random…
While these ai generators have opened up a can of worms and some moral gray area...isn't the idea of copyright infringement (as it pertains to commercial enterprises i.e selling reference packs, paid apps, etc..) still black and white? So if an original piece of concept art is used as direct input for training an ai model…
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…
You can´t drive me crazy when you didn´t get the point (or intentionally decided to ignore it) with generating maps in Age of Empires and calling myself level designer and aimbots analogy to art hobbyists in the future. I´m not even going to use synthetic diamond and natural diamond analogy, because to you it is all the…
Today, my son (same infant I posted his birth announcement of here on PC) expressed his sincere desire to continue to draw and become an artist because that's how he feels most connected to others and regulates his own well being. He's got skill and talent by all counts for his age. He could easily continue to develop his…
Oh, I don't think there's reason to be quite so far on the doom-and-gloom side of the fence. And let's face it - pursuing art has always involved filtering out the noise. Trying to figure out if the response you got is from someone trying to pad their post count or an actual artisan who for some reason was kind enough to…
What false claim ? If you mean that the description given of the process is not technically detailled or accurate enough to you, then this is completely irrelevant. Similarly to a how a legislation proposal about human cloning wouldn't describe the whole process like a scientific paper would. What matters is that in one…
