I've seen controversies in American voice acting a few times where characters who were PoC were voiced by white people. In recent years, there's been efforts to replace those VAs with people matching the ethnicity of their characters, or at least closer than some random white person. That's not something I really agree…
Taking a step back on this, I think one of the reasons why people tend to (often knowingly) forget how many people this is screwing over, is because the result of a prompt is just a single picture (or a handful of pictures). Yet if the source DB was visible at all times, I bet more would realize how many people they are…
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…
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…
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…
FYI, that toggle has been there for many years, and was added when Adobe first starting diving into AI, long before the current generative craze. I can't go into much detail because an official response will be published soon, but I am proud to say that Adobe's AI efforts have, are and will be "clean", the data we use to…
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…
If your only argument about AI is always it's not illegal that mean even you understand the ethical aspect of it and that also mean that it should probably be ... Also MJ watermark their image ( invisible one) so they don't train it back on itself, they know that if they start training on their own result they will only…
100% i am so glad you can see that, i am against it all the way but people are actually saying the genie's out of the bottle and we have to "conform" cause its out there... if the "world" decides its fine then they go ahead its better than having nothing, cause its okay to steal apparently. I rather this was never around…
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.…
