"People will not become dumber because the tool does more work that used to be human done" Well ... https://twitter.com/Rahll/status/1724532529875562684 If anything, the only new thing that is likely to happen ... is Art Directors flat out refusing to hire anyone using "generative AI" in their process - because they know…
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'd say FromSoftware is way more efficient than say, Ubisoft or Blizzard. They are making games cheaper and now starting to make sales like the bigger guys who were stuck in arms race. from an artist perspective I think their games have more value because it is largely the passion project of a single mind, rather than…
Thats like showing your son a photograph and saying that Monet ought not to have painted. There is more to art than the final product. If AI is popular now its more among people that want to cash in on it, even if just an ego boost they are getting from likes on instagram and facebook. Not sure how this would be monetized…
Well, for me it is simply a tool like Photoshop :) You still underestimate the effort to create something really good looking with AI. It is not enough to type in a few words. You still, and even more than in traditional art, need the artistic skills and knowledge to steer the AI where you want it to be. Else it will go…
But a watermark will make the images useless. And so it is a de facto ban for users and the art created with it. For what reason? Deep fake like in China? The main concern here so far was that "these basterds uses my data", which they don't. Not a single grain of copyright is touched. They use it for training by simply…
Oh I agree that humans have an inherent skill to be creative and generate new concepts where none previously existed just due to life experiences. Thats something we'll always have over the AI, but my point here was that when it comes to generating what we consider to be original art, what the AI is generating and how it…
These are obviously AI-generated renders, probably prompted as "digital sculpt, realistic, trending on Artstation, in the style of xxxx". And since the AI model is using copyrighted images, this is basically infringing on thousands ... You claim again that there is a copyright breach. But where is it? To create images in…
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…
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…
