I'm in general agreement @pior but I think there does remain some practical value to it, though I have only found it to be a tiny bit useful in some weird cases. Like if I need to get some ideas across quickly to somebody, since I am not a skilled 2d artist I can generate some AI image which gets close to what I have in…
It's both : there is a huge market/desire for people to be able to take a picture of themselves and have their Madden avatar look just like them. As a matter of fact these things have been attempted before with crude photoslapping. And then there's indeed the fantasy/anime avatars for VRchat and Vtube - but I can guarantee…
I wonder about the implications for recruiting, starting now. I guess there's no way around art tests for these kinds of concept art positions anymore - and lengthy ones at that, designed to weed out the cleverest of the prompt users as well as test the usual skills. Surely terribly time consuming for both sides and…
Right, why commission an artist? In fact, why not accept commissions in their stead? When a market is saturated it loses its value and profitability. People who are artistic actually don't need to use the software to make something meaningful. In fact, creating art is a form of meditation, it's how they become artistic and…
The problem that needed to be solved is that capitalist require labor to make more profits, but labor is whiny and wants things like dignity, paychecks, and water. Which of course is a major insult to an antisocial personality disorder mother fucker who firmly believes that all things on earth belong to them only. People…
I think the truth is...most artists who are working for companies are going to be screwed. 3D Artists are likely to get completely replaced by automation because their entire field is completely made of the technical aspects (i.e. modeling, lighting, retopology) that can easily be automated once the AI gets advanced…
Those jobs which are necessary for people to live are grueling and menial... but making stupid entertainment that is designed to funnel money from adults through their ignorant children are life affirming? I mean maybe for you it has been great but there is more to the world than your emotions, isn't there? But set that…
This is hardly a good comparison. The decent thing to do is to credit the asset maker, list what you used and most importantly, pay for the asset. Just like you paid for all the software in your pipeline. The artist also makes a choice of the assets to purchase. Amongst numerous other decisions, scene layout, converting…
A few questions? Is A.I. trained and can work without Image Libary because it has some fundamental understanding when i mean "chainmail" or lookd it every time for reference pictures? Some AI. works looks fantastic. Looks like a dozen Screenshots of a movie BUT never was the Character or Monster etc... the same everytime…
I think the copyright issues of the training data is an interesting and problematic area, but people and companies are going to make their own datasets. If Star Wars wants a new rebel ship that fits within their universe, they can have an AI fed with their tens of thousands of pieces of concept art, movie stills, merch,…
