AI isn't threatening anyone's jobs. I've already put it to the test as a solo developer. It doesn't even threaten 2d artist's jobs; we need the PSD files to be able to do cool stuff with it, like UI design elements. Images with prebaked colour, linework and lighting are useless. 1-off 'hero' artworks used for things like…
lol. An over-generalization to be sure, but it does have a decent ring of truth to it. I am particularly amazed at former colleagues of mine who constantly use and trumpet generative ai on social media (like LinkedIn) even though I know they are skilled 3d artists in their own right. I get that they want to stay on top of…
Yes I read the linked article where James Cameron goes into the design of the Navi and says, "the more alien we make them in the design phase, we just kept asking ourselves — basically, the crude version is: "Well, would you wanna do it?" And our all-male crew of artists would basically say, "Nope, take the gills out." It…
@NikhilR did your read those articles or just the headlines? first article looks and reads like clickbait, so i went to the link it cited as being the source for a concept artist claiming that director was a weirdo about the characters. ctrl+f search doesnt bring up the directors name or the term director in the article. I…
One thing I've noticed is these AI cultists cheer that "you have nothing to fear as long as you don't suck" Trouble is, sucking is a big part of the journey of becoming an artist. If you want to be an artist you have to accept that you will suck for many years. After you stop sucking, you start making beautiful images or…
My two main problem with AI art. Paid-for sites that charge a fee to use the service, that are scraping the internet to train their AI without artists permission People claiming they "created" the AI art because they typed in the keywords. No, you didn't - that art was creating from the collective minds of all the artists…
@Phiona This is actually an incredibly relevant remark IMHO. When asked what they do for a living or even just as hobby, many artists would not even call themselves artists, but rather go straight to describe what they love to do, often in a slight self-derogatory/humble way even. For instance someone who draws manga might…
I must say I am genuinely fascinated by the fact that some don't seem to see the issue of "just using it for inspiration" (or moodboards). I mean, HELLO ? Not only is it a slippery slope as mentionned above, but it is also *litterally pointless*. The point of a moodboard is not just to gather pretty shiny pictures to show…
The core part of the problem is most AI advocates don't know how the human brain works, particularly in regards to creative matters. Thus their whole argument is being made from a faulty assumption that they understand when they don't. They're partially right in that the AI can learn what its being fed, but it can't…
