Oh, I don't think there's reason to be quite so far on the doom-and-gloom side of the fence. And let's face it - pursuing art has always involved filtering out the noise. Trying to figure out if the response you got is from someone trying to pad their post count or an actual artisan who for some reason was kind enough to…
@"Michael Knubben" that is all true but it is also only the perspective of an artist, and one who is focused on bettering their craft as opposed to getting a product out the door. Many of the people using or wanting to use AI will not be. That is what I was trying to illustrate. In my case, I am a game developer first and…
Seems a bit premature to run away from Artstation. Granted, their current stance towards AI is disappointing but I think they may still come around. It's only been a few weeks and we're in the holiday period. You do know how this works out in a company, right? Everyone away on holidays and all until a bit into the new year…
Really? The old models probably all backed up to hell. Same for all the embeddings. Which is why I feel the original researchers in LAION5B are incredibly irresponsible. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33953891 Glad there are at least two users on there who realize how ethically ambiguous it is. There's already CC0…
I know that it feels wrong to you that AI looks at your images and then draws in your style. But feeling doesn't count. This part is simply not illegal. Style cannot be patented. Maybe in the future there is some regulation. But not now. Well I mean, it sort of counts. You seem to have this interesting viewpoint that it…
Doesn't age of empires also arrive in the current time? With machines and such? What if Ned Ludd would have been part of the game, hammering it back to medieval over and over again? :) Sorry for driving you crazy with playing the devils advocate here. I was put into this corner, and now i do my best. I do not even deny…
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. True. But i prefer to have nevertheless some fun before this happens :) it's not good at all for people who made a living by making art. And people who makes a living from art explicitely…
ok - three points: 1: I proposed regulation of the datasets used, not the tools - this sort of licensing is already covered by law. 2: I dont necessarily agree that copyright laws cover this use case sufficiently but I do believe it would be relatively trivial to close a few loopholes - Pior may be onto something with…
Three words you will never see in the future: "Respected AI Artist". History of course will respect the great artists of the past. But in the future the respect will be reserved for the ones who created the AI, not the ones who pay a monthly fee to use it. It has basically granted everyone with super powers. And spare me…
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…
