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…
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…
I keep hearing this argument and I don't agree. Sure, there are some similarities in how humans and AI learn but what makes humans different is that we can invent entirely new concepts out of nothing. There was a time in history when there was no art at all and then after many many years someone arranged rocks in a pretty…
@Tiles the future is almost certainly death of the entire human race and nearly all other forms of life, so it kinda needs to be stopped. No, I am not suggesting that AI art is what kills us. Anybody wants to argue about what is unanimous verdict of virtually every scientific community you have to demonstrate that you've…
@pior thats a great thing that you did! as far as arguing with the AI bros, I mean you could just view that as a form of feedback by which you measure you success in persuasion with them. Just because I say the same thing as them doesn't mean I hold all the same views, ya know. Hitler loved dogs and I also love dogs. The…
I mean I agree. If you give a man a fish he just ask for another fish tomorrow. So a prompt engineer might "make" art for an entire career as a prompt artist without ever having even known what shape language means. But any time labor saving technology is introduced its not like the people who were laboring are now asked…
Sure it can. But for what reason? And what exactly do you want to put under punishment? Looking at public available images? Painting in the style of a living artist? That's all things that human artists does too. Imho the real reason why AI is hated is because it is a competitor for traditional artists. And because of hurt…
@Tiles all the law is threat of violence, and almost exclusively it is used to protect the owning class, not the working class. So if you counter a threat of violence by pointing to the law you are just offloading your violence to somebody else. Doesn't put you above anything like you are not an angry chimp like all the…
@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.…
I am not against AI per se, but I am deeply concerned about the way it is being used. The way it is being used also sparks much bigger concerns about the future. The people creating these systems seem to have utopian views about how this will turn out. They promise us a world in which we will never have to work again and…
