Oh, AI bros don't bother me to the point of affecting me negatively - if anything I am sad for them. What *does* bother me to no end is seeing AI-vomit on Christmas posters at a local (quite wealthy) store, or used by a local castle/museum as an advertisement, in a way completely unrelated to what they actually have on…
yes I agree but did you care when grocery baggers were put out of work by automation? Or steel workers? Or farmers? Or when cows were enslaved to live the most miserable existence imaginable only to be food for fat ingrates who by all natural law should have no right to exist? No you only care when it hurts you. So you can…
AI isn't threatening anyone's jobs. I've already put it to the test as a solo developer. It doesn't even threaten 2d artist's jobs; we need the PSD files to be able to do cool stuff with it, like UI design elements. Images with prebaked colour, linework and lighting are useless. 1-off 'hero' artworks used for things like…
I have to disagree with you. I don´t think that truth or righteousness is in numbers. See how many morons would support AI just because they don´t need to know sh*t? I wouldn´t call him a moron because of the numbers. Don´t get me wrong - you are right. But for different reasons.
One thing I've noticed is these AI cultists cheer that "you have nothing to fear as long as you don't suck" Trouble is, sucking is a big part of the journey of becoming an artist. If you want to be an artist you have to accept that you will suck for many years. After you stop sucking, you start making beautiful images or…
I hope you're absolutely right with these words. I'm feeling a lot of anxiety these days. Like many other artists, I've put all my eggs in the basket of 3D art for audiovisual productions of any kind. If this way of making a living is compromised, I don't know if I'll be able to adapt to another field. A universal basic…
There's nothing to really gain by embracing AI in the way the tech bros are marketing right now. Ultimately whatever you accomplish easily gets drowned out by the glut of prompt typers. And at every step along the way a well trained artist will still coax out better work from it and be able to process the output in a…
I can see it being used credibly as a inspirational, concept tool, ive seen some pretty damn nice and amazingly creative things done with it. Of course it will be horribly abused and honestly at least right now it with enough convolutions just like any machine ai art starts becoming samey and repetitive, but for every…
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…
Sorry @zetheros , you are right, just one last thing in respect to quote above: @tiles, you've been trying to make a point for three pages and nobody is buying it. Naturally, since you won't concede anything, people going to start dropping the politeness and just get to the point and start insinuating that you are either…
