Well, apparently tons of VFX artists are out of work these days. Surely there will be at least some among them willing to pick up 'prompting' and combine that with their existing skillset. From then on it's going to be more about lack of functionality in the toolset, I suppose. So the verdict in this writeup seems a bit…
Ad-hominem? Clearly an asshole. FYI: 'Woketard' is not an insult, but a descriptor (google what it means). And yes, I hate unions because I've never had (not in this, not in the past century) a single positive experience with any of them. And yes, 'unionized woketards' are considered a liability. In case of acquisition…
Well, for me it is no harm, but something fantastic. This is the point where we still heavily disagree. For me it is simply a fantastic new tool in the belt. It allows me to create what was impossible before. I create all my music videos with it at the moment for my upcoming new album. In weeks instead of years. You might…
Well lets think about it a little more. I don't think a persons value is going to be reduced in the way your thinking should work be removed from the equation. Lets say we're in this dystopian future where AI has replaced the majority of human labor. I think the key question to figure out what happens from there first is…
I did hear from colleagues at a number of studios, that they have started to incoporate AI tools like stable diffusion and midjourney into their pipelines. There is high priority in creating more proprietary AI tools in studio and this approach is influencing their retention policy when it comes to concept artists. Would…
there are plenty positions being phased out for ai operators despite the fact that this is all legally not settled yet.sure it might not be as visible in AAA but in "lower tier" productions it is indeed a thing already. people switching to cleaning AI shit instead of creating stuff themselves, because they can just push…
I totally agree that the data created from training should be considered exactly the same as directly copying images and applying a filter to them in photoshop. You are still deriving a product from the original work, doesn't matter how convoluted the process is. The fair use doctrine needs to be updated to account for…
Lol, why art of course, though I am wondering how much representation I should have in my portfolio when it comes to the race and age of the characters. I try to think of this aspect more as showcasing that I can create a good range of different characters. DEI is supposed to impact my application positively since I'm…
aprats91 sed: In my opinion, for these technologies to be truly useful for us, they need to give us total control over the outcome, and this is impossible to achieve just by writing prompts. Yep it's been done: If you go to youtube you will find tutorials that show you pieces of software you can use to pose a figure. Very…
Here's a use for AI that actually made me feel nostalgic and brought a tear to my eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umikrwibg_k Truly gave me chills! Regardless of the nonsense about what race mermaids are if we get an option to revisit characters as we remember them in live action movies, I would welcome it and…
