I shouldn't have said it as "over" permanent employment in a studio space. Was wrong there. I meant more like it should be given as a middle ground option for creatives that more flexible in their employment. But its going to be a tricky balance. The public face of many AAA companies is that they are growing and…
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…
I checked out their website and it seems the only thing the AI does is generate scripts and maybe the voices? Which others have pointed out, are not great, the comedian youtube video could be funny, but it is so completely flat.

That's not something I really agree…
It mentions in its FAQs That all it is, is a url repository of the source. That a "researcher" needs to download the data set for use, and then the copyright of that data set would apply since they aren't an image hosting service. By wording it this way they have absolutely limited their accountability to usage of the…
"I'm not seeing how the AI is any different than a person here" It doesn't matter. A human observing a picture to get inspired by is something that is accepted in the social contract, and it doesn't break any law. On the contrary, an entity using a picture that they don't own the rights of and making it a part of a piece…
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…
