Today, my son (same infant I posted his birth announcement of here on PC) expressed his sincere desire to continue to draw and become an artist because that's how he feels most connected to others and regulates his own well being. He's got skill and talent by all counts for his age. He could easily continue to develop his…
Really, I've been thinking about the subject for a few days now, and I'm not sure whether to see this technology as an ally or as the nemesis of the artistic industry. What I do know is that currently, as it's presented, I only perceive it as a money-making machine for the companies behind it. I see it more as an…
I suddenly realized that I had a bunch of articles about the sad way the industry is going, as well as intellectual contributions from people far smarter than me; and a community to share them with. This is the article by crackedotcom alum Robert Evans, but if you want to listen to it on his Behind the Bastards podcast…
It´s not "hate" when you use common sense to call something what it is. Call us pencil-grabbers, paper scratchers, tablet tip worners (personally I prefer this one, because I have to put a new tip on my wacom anyway...). Find some name you would call us that would be accurate and would make us feel uncomfortable at the…
I do wonder what they would do if a legal precedent hits, what would happen to previous training models, would work derived from them be included in a repository that future AI models can derive from. Usually when it's this complicated, it comes down to a settlement and some conditions. I feel like the conditions would be…
I highlighted the important part. This is the next big Industrial Revolution; I don't think we can stop it and a huge chunks of beginner/intermediate craftsman and artisans are goign to have hard time mastering their craft without it's use. It's essentially coming for everything and is the big leap we somewhat were all…
@pior thats a great thing that you did! as far as arguing with the AI bros, I mean you could just view that as a form of feedback by which you measure you success in persuasion with them. Just because I say the same thing as them doesn't mean I hold all the same views, ya know. Hitler loved dogs and I also love dogs. The…
While I personally disagreed with using premade assets in 3D for a beginner I totally understand why it's useful for more experienced 3D artists simply because it saves time filling a scene. I would be lying if I said it wasn't useful to use premade assets and assemble them in a scene, it's working effectively. Whether…
No, they did not understand. They jumped too short and saw just their own feet. That's why. And most of them ended in jail. Some got even deported to australia. So technology got us where we are. People are getting spoiled and bored out of their mind, living for instant gratification, lip-sync quotes from movies pretending…
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…
