I've been seeing this sort of thing a lot; person shares objectively cool image, gets a compliment, doesn't mention it was AI. A lot of "I made" "I did" "my" language. In a 3d software you can load some premade assets and click a button to render the image. Did you now create and render the image? Or was it the software?…
I think the truth is...most artists who are working for companies are going to be screwed. 3D Artists are likely to get completely replaced by automation because their entire field is completely made of the technical aspects (i.e. modeling, lighting, retopology) that can easily be automated once the AI gets advanced…
"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,…
This sounds about right to me. I mean even before AI art this is how I largely design my own 3d characters. just find a few things that I like and mix together. put a little bit of my own twist on it. I mean, everything that anybody could possibly imagine has already been designed a billion different ways, why should I…
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…
@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…
@Tiles Okay. Noting this is a game art forum, I think it's safe to assume a large majority of the members in the discussion here understand that Photoshop, Maya, Zbrush, etc. are graphics software. I think what's central to the topic is the impact of AI's standout feature of rapidly converting text prompts into images.…
Remember the "Make Art" button? Ironic, huh..? :D I´m mostly writing here to express my support for the people protesting against AI. Unlike many others I don´t share the optimistic point of view on Artstation though. I don´t think that a platform that behaves like this is reformable and I do believe that there should be…
I am not against AI per se, but I am deeply concerned about the way it is being used. The way it is being used also sparks much bigger concerns about the future. The people creating these systems seem to have utopian views about how this will turn out. They promise us a world in which we will never have to work again and…
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 to be actors, doing their stupid little dances for likes, people no longer need to remember anything because their phone is "smart", many people can´t count…
