I get paid pretty well in my country. I also get to make stuff that appears in games and I get to learn tons of cool stuff. It's not perfect by any means but this career is what helped me grow as a person. It's like college but I (mostly) learn things I like AND I get paid for it.
It's all just a bit tiring, to be honest. I don't look at anything generated by AI and think "oh cool" I just kind of get the same gross feeling you get when you see those mukbang videos or the 4000 calorie desserts made on tiktok - it's fast food for the eyes, just shite pumped out faster than I can take a dump.
They can't wait to get rid of as many people are they possibly can. Is this guy seriously trying to convince everyone that they made more money because they avoided hiring real animators or mocappers to make the run cycles?
And that'll likely be the limit of it. The value of AI art serves its purpose for concepting and moodboarding. It can be used for more than that though its functionality will be limited. The people who will be most impacted from the AI "taking over" will be those who do art as their day job as in being employed by someone…
That's actually the deadliest aspect, far worse than loss of jobs. From an artistic standpoint sure I get more crap to add to a mood board, but socially/politically there really needs to be regulation or the whole world is going to lose it. Even categorisaiton would suffice, like on arstation if I do a seach and add the…
Oh, I am absolutely not saying that Cara is *the* solution - as a matter of fact I am not planning to join it anytime soon since I have my own self-hosted folio anyways. But I think it is well worth keeping an eye on, and the mere fact that 700 000 artists ditched IG for it in a matter of days says a lot about how quickly…
ChatGPT, so as other similar software, is not AI. Not even close. It`s just a glamourized T9 mixed with well structured but biased search engine. It has its use only because 'Google search' is just pure atrocious garbage that is getting worse by the day.
@Alex_J Hopefully this gets added to the lawsuit and the only entity that blows up is open AI If you read this tech paper it's literally the same unethical crap, https://openai.com/research/video-generation-models-as-world-simulators
@NikhilR I'd be very sad to see the industry move back towards fixed term contracts as a standard. The only place that leads is a race to the bottom where everyone ends up getting treated like shit and paid nothing (see the VFX industry for evidence). A permanent employee is an asset, a contractor is a cost. which one goes…
I think AI is going to kill the internet as we know it before it kills jobs in game art. It's so easy and cheap to create massive amounts of noise, propaganda, and imitate real people, we're getting to the point people are assuming most random online comments are probably from a bot. Related video:…
