Sorry to be a downer again, but here is where things are at the moment : https://www.traffickinggame.com/ai-assisted-graphics/ First off, it shows that believing that "it will never get better than humans" is beyond pointless really. It is (obviously) lacking the personal touch of an artist in terms of their own references…
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…
What false claim ? If you mean that the description given of the process is not technically detailled or accurate enough to you, then this is completely irrelevant. Similarly to a how a legislation proposal about human cloning wouldn't describe the whole process like a scientific paper would. What matters is that in one…
As terrifying as all of this is, I don't think our clients will use this tech in the near future (2-3 years). It's too risky...for now. If some legislation comes out that data needs to be opt-in and be completely transparent, then our clients will have to rethink their workflows and redo a lot of work because even if they…
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…
The "cat is out of the bag" position is IMHO a rather short-sighted and somewhat unimaginative admission of defeat in regards to the way current models are using data from non-public domain images, without obtaining any license from the artists who got scraped. One could very well imagine a situation where providers of…
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…
The tech is here, nobody will take it away. But there are a few things that need to be fixed. The first and foremost would be making sure how its sourcing its inputs. Using an open source library that was made to study, in a commercial sense will have to stop or there will have to be systems in place to compensate. I feel…
Hi there @zetheros , Even though an ill-intentioned scrapper would always find a way to scrape, I do feel like good old regular portfolios have a place here. (and perhaps the geographic location of where to host one's files can matter too, since legislation on data collecting is bound to differ). I did go the Wordpress…
@pior I CAN'T! I have to keep up with all the 3D program, addon, sculpting and texture painting developments because this is a high tech field! They often post AI news. I literally can't get away from all this. Whenever I manage to catch a break, news about AI creeps in and the anxiety comes back. I SUPPOSE the saving…
