How much time do we have left to have the real possibility of earning income and being able to continue working in CGI, video games, design, and any other trade where the creative process of 2D/3D/texturing is involved? I have discovered some tools that frighten me and add to the list of things that threaten our work and…
"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…
Unfortunately, similarly to how Kotaku readers and urinalists have no clue about how games are made, AI bros have no clue about the reality of the job as an illustrator or designer and what it takes to work on a project as a team. You currently talk with one of these AI bros that completely does not fit into this pattern.…
@"Michael Knubben" that is all true but it is also only the perspective of an artist, and one who is focused on bettering their craft as opposed to getting a product out the door. Many of the people using or wanting to use AI will not be. That is what I was trying to illustrate. In my case, I am a game developer first and…
Well to be fair, artists hired in game/entertainment production jobs are likely not going to lose their jobs to this imho, simply because ADs are clever enough to know that the job of an artist in house or freelance isn't just to create "pretty pictures". Unfortunately, similarly to how Kotaku readers and urinalists have…
I'm in general agreement @pior but I think there does remain some practical value to it, though I have only found it to be a tiny bit useful in some weird cases. Like if I need to get some ideas across quickly to somebody, since I am not a skilled 2d artist I can generate some AI image which gets close to what I have in…
The problem that needed to be solved is that capitalist require labor to make more profits, but labor is whiny and wants things like dignity, paychecks, and water. Which of course is a major insult to an antisocial personality disorder mother fucker who firmly believes that all things on earth belong to them only. People…
I keep hearing this argument and I don't agree. Sure, there are some similarities in how humans and AI learn but what makes humans different is that we can invent entirely new concepts out of nothing. There was a time in history when there was no art at all and then after many many years someone arranged rocks in a pretty…
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…
People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers Why? What does these people stop to use AI too? And to repeat it again, it's not that you can let your cleaning woman do the job now. It's the opposite, you need even more knowledge about art than before. You cannot simply start to…
