Well there are basically two layers to this : at the lowest level, there are the billions of images and artists (+ all the relevant metadata) that got scraped and potentially given some so-called "aesthetic rating" in Laion5B - all done and used without consent. A simply query through HaveIBeenTrained using any random…
For the Live-Generated AI output, you need to hedge the capabilities of those systems, any closed source middleware solution fails flat unless you can easily forward the liability and lawsuits to the AI-producer(s). Depending on were your game is released, you not only need "common sense" on what to avoid but especially…
I can provide more insight on this business model, since I was with EA during its development. So for a game like FC 24 or rather the entirely of EA sports as a model, the whole development process is based on asset automation, clean up, revision and curation. EA works heavily with outsourcers and asset repurposing is…
As you can see, Shutterstock and Nvidia are going to collaborate to create an artificial intelligence that can generate 3D models from text. This is an innovation that could facilitate the creation and customization of visual content for different industries and applications. According to Shutterstock, the AI-generated…
I would argue illustrators may have it the worst out of all those who want to be independent artists and specifically those who do digital illustration. Thats an area the AI can easily replicate and to be fair....there already wasn't much of any monetary value in it anyhow even before the AI came along. Those who did…
@OccultMonk I agree largely with what your saying on the blog although there are few things I don't. Lets not kid ourselves here and pretend like we had a paradise before AI came out. Go to social media websites, Artstation, Youtube, DeviantArt especially, etc. Can you honestly say those places weren't already flooded with…
I've been seeing this sort of thing a lot; person shares objectively cool image, gets a compliment, doesn't mention it was AI. A lot of "I made" "I did" "my" language. In a 3d software you can load some premade assets and click a button to render the image. Did you now create and render the image? Or was it the software?…
If the AI could learn the way a person did, then why can't it remember what.. Shrek looks like without making hideous morphed monstrosities of him over and over after getting it right a few times. Why doesn't it just spurt out a 3d model of him since it has tons of angles, it should be able to illustrate full turn tables…
"That's my two cents anyway. Hope it helps weight the fear/bias towards a more nuanced look at AI from artists. For anyone feeling worry/anxiety about the industry... learn the fundamentals and wait for the platforms/tools to shift. It's going to be okay. Your future is probably fine" I don't think that's the case at all,…
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…
