But if you come across as elitist and exclusionary then you are insulting other people. I am telling you that the arguments you are making are inherently insulting to others and will turn them against you. It will make your own group smaller and smaller, instead of larger and larger. Not sure it is flawed because people…
@ModBlue what do you mean by value in this case though? do you mean like, what will artist do in order to enjoy their craft and find personal value? Or market value? If market value I think i'd disagree because there is never going to be a market for anybody to do things in a slower way. I mean, there would be some niches,…
the future is almost certainly death of the entire human race and nearly all other forms of life, so it kinda needs to be stopped. True. But i prefer to have nevertheless some fun before this happens :) it's not good at all for people who made a living by making art. And people who makes a living from art explicitely…
ok - three points: 1: I proposed regulation of the datasets used, not the tools - this sort of licensing is already covered by law. 2: I dont necessarily agree that copyright laws cover this use case sufficiently but I do believe it would be relatively trivial to close a few loopholes - Pior may be onto something with…
I think these opportunities should go to those deserving of the role. I have genuine concerns about hiring teams being unable to distinguish talent from tools. Partly because these companies deserve to spend their resources well and better position their companies to be successful. Bad actors that infiltrate the hiring…
I still can not understand the reason why somebody would call it AI "art" in the first place other than for cynical manipulation of social narratives. For sociopaths everything can be a "tool", even another person. No wonder they are so loud right now in defending AI with rather very weak arguments, e.g. that it is fun for…
Yes i know, since the very most are not willing to accept the truth. Claiming that AI is stealing to discredit the competitor is so much simpler. Well, maybe we simply have reached the end of the discussion. You will never convince me from your point of view since i know what AI does and is and how it works. And i have…
"That's my two cents anyway. Hope it helps weight the fear/bias towards a more nuanced look at AI from artists. For anyone feeling worry/anxiety about the industry... learn the fundamentals and wait for the platforms/tools to shift. It's going to be okay. Your future is probably fine" I don't think that's the case at all,…
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…
Off-topic, but I really wish games would be less efficient in the parts that matter. Is open world design not the cancer that killed games? Going bigger means optimizing pipelines for throughput so multiple designers can work on the same map at once without conflict. There's no space for authorial intent anymore. It's…
