Sorry to be a downer again, but here is where things are at the moment : https://www.traffickinggame.com/ai-assisted-graphics/ First off, it shows that believing that "it will never get better than humans" is beyond pointless really. It is (obviously) lacking the personal touch of an artist in terms of their own references…
The longer its a free for all the higher the damages would be. Logically it would be sensible for all Ai generators to stop using the data sets of limit their prompt usage and allow artists to opt out so any litigation will focus on the relevance of older models and damages that they would incur to copyright holders.…
I've said something like this in the other thread. The way I see it, as soon as you use a load of disney cartoons as training data for your disney style AI twitter pfp generating app you've made money off disney's IP and they ought to be able to sue your ass for it in the same way they can sue your ass if you put mickey…
"Again, this is false claim. AI does not store art in its files or databases. It learns from the files. LAION does not ship with AI. It's the training data. And the training data is collected legally." I didn't say it stores art in its files or databases, nor did I say it was illegal; I said "AI uses art made by artists to…
Something is getting lost in translation here. No one is talking about "forbidding learning". The idea is simply to not use anthropological terms like "learning" and reframing it as "using" in order to get a clearer view on what's going on. On law : law is not something that is divinely dictated and get set it in stone…
The main question is, was luddism a success? The answer is obviously no. The reason for luddism was plain fear without to understand the consequences. And Ned Ludd is not more than a historical foot note nowadays. Usually luddist people knows very little about the matter and are hard to convince. They can't see the big…
@Tiles Okay. Noting this is a game art forum, I think it's safe to assume a large majority of the members in the discussion here understand that Photoshop, Maya, Zbrush, etc. are graphics software. I think what's central to the topic is the impact of AI's standout feature of rapidly converting text prompts into images.…
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…
"I'm not seeing how the AI is any different than a person here" It doesn't matter. A human observing a picture to get inspired by is something that is accepted in the social contract, and it doesn't break any law. On the contrary, an entity using a picture that they don't own the rights of and making it a part of a piece…
Recruiting shouldn't be affected, save for having to deal with applicants that don't understand that prompting an AI to make art isn't equal to actually knowing how to make digital art. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't apply for a concept art position if all they knew was prompting. Its possible that they might still get…
