Oh, I don't think there's reason to be quite so far on the doom-and-gloom side of the fence. And let's face it - pursuing art has always involved filtering out the noise. Trying to figure out if the response you got is from someone trying to pad their post count or an actual artisan who for some reason was kind enough to…
Alright, sorry if this is just morbid curiosity but here is the tone of discussions on the Midjourney general chat (all 3 from today) : I am just ... genuinely amazed by the absurdity of it all. I find this to be way more violent than any braindead tiktok dance going viral, or any other online stupidity I've ever…
@Tiles well yeah winners and losers is the thing. People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers, and people who've done nothing now are allowed to be winners. But they've sacrificed nothing. That's why the word fair keeps coming up. So, if you were not able to afford to pay artist…
wow, OK...I haven't posted in a long while, but with all the recent AI drama going on, I felt I needed to voice some concerns, and bring up some perhaps controversial thoughts and opinions. I feel a lot of the discussion so far has been either based on fear-mongering or naive short-term thinking. We pretty much have two…
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…
@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.…
Doesn't age of empires also arrive in the current time? With machines and such? What if Ned Ludd would have been part of the game, hammering it back to medieval over and over again? :) Sorry for driving you crazy with playing the devils advocate here. I was put into this corner, and now i do my best. I do not even deny…
What false claim ? If you mean that the description given of the process is not technically detailled or accurate enough to you, then this is completely irrelevant. Similarly to a how a legislation proposal about human cloning wouldn't describe the whole process like a scientific paper would. What matters is that in one…
Sure it can. But for what reason? And what exactly do you want to put under punishment? Looking at public available images? Painting in the style of a living artist? That's all things that human artists does too. Imho the real reason why AI is hated is because it is a competitor for traditional artists. And because of hurt…
