@Tiles well yeah winners and losers is the thing. People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers, and people who've done nothing now are allowed to be winners. But they've sacrificed nothing. That's why the word fair keeps coming up. So, if you were not able to afford to pay artist…
Unfortunately, similarly to how Kotaku readers and urinalists have no clue about how games are made, AI bros have no clue about the reality of the job as an illustrator or designer and what it takes to work on a project as a team. You currently talk with one of these AI bros that completely does not fit into this pattern.…
I do wonder what they would do if a legal precedent hits, what would happen to previous training models, would work derived from them be included in a repository that future AI models can derive from. Usually when it's this complicated, it comes down to a settlement and some conditions. I feel like the conditions would be…
how can you search the database and find your medical information in form of pictures, if the pictures arent stored? How can you paint a picture if the image isn't stored in your brain? It both has the same answer. You learned the concept. This is what AI makes so fascinating. It learned what grass is, what a face is, and…
Hi there @zetheros , Even though an ill-intentioned scrapper would always find a way to scrape, I do feel like good old regular portfolios have a place here. (and perhaps the geographic location of where to host one's files can matter too, since legislation on data collecting is bound to differ). I did go the Wordpress…
@pior I CAN'T! I have to keep up with all the 3D program, addon, sculpting and texture painting developments because this is a high tech field! They often post AI news. I literally can't get away from all this. Whenever I manage to catch a break, news about AI creeps in and the anxiety comes back. I SUPPOSE the saving…
I must say that I am now genuinely torn between two very conflicting states : • On one hand the combative spirit is a powerful driver, and the rollercoaster of the last few days/weeks put a lot of incredibly important things in sharp perspective : how one expresses oneself through their craft as imperfect as it may be, and…
It's about the hate that pior spreads here. Not about that he dislikes AI. How shall we discuss with each other when we call us with names? You can dislike or like AI without to become personal for disliking the others opinion. That's at least my opinion. I don't want to lead the discussion from scratch again since we…
Our society has long decided that it is no dilemma. We use robots, we use computers, we use cars instead of horses. We use everything that makes our life easier. This concerns me. Machine Learning and AI has been on the mainstream for the better part of a decade now, and I am yet to see really serious improvements to our…
Well, for me it is simply a tool like Photoshop :) You still underestimate the effort to create something really good looking with AI. It is not enough to type in a few words. You still, and even more than in traditional art, need the artistic skills and knowledge to steer the AI where you want it to be. Else it will go…
