Tiles, so I don't hate AI. However I still haven't found any use for AI in developing a game, and I've looked hard. As a game dev I maintain my stance that it's not very useful outside of storyboarding, one-off pieces (not particularly useful in games) and sometimes generating alpha maps for use in Zbrush. For instance…
it's stealing their style This part is not copyrighted. And most probably never will. And so it is not stealing. Like you cannot patent a game idea neither.
Except there is no theft. AI is not able to steal, that's technically impossible. You cannot compress 240 terabyte into 8 gb vram, not even download it to an average PC. Not a single pixel of the originals is in the AI weights. And that would just be one training set, that's the size of the Laion5 dataset. And there is…
Kinda sucks people will likely no longer upload easily scraped 3d models to the internet. I wonder if someone is going to try to scrap 3d assets from games and use that to feed a model.
The thing I find fascinating about the quotes from the person pumping the potion example is how they show a complete misunderstanding of game design - or rather an attempt at wrapping/bending the narrative to fit the concept of an infinite art generator. Because outside of the most mindless games targetting a demographic…
I can't believe this is happening...this job is what gave me confidence in myself. It would crush me if AI replaced me...I also really want to learn 2D art but why bother? It's gonna take years to learn and who knows how good this damn AI will get? We're gonna reach a point where all of us will be just mindless consumers…
Well ... every game out there is already very easy to extract content from, especially if it is done in Unreal Engine. This has always been fantastic for studying purposes but this also means that this content is perfectly ready for AI training to chew on today. I'd say that perfectly usable "modelsheet turnaround to…
You guys are way to excited about this thing its either just another social engineering experiment or get rich scheme Just have to follow the general trend of everything failing after initial hype -> shit coins failing NFTs failed sealed games failed fake gurus failing metaverse failed ... add your favorite here 5 years…
Pandora's box has been opened and there's no going back, I find it hard to care much about the ethics or legality of using copyrighted works to feed models when the train isn't going to stop. Even if they did it the ethical way with only art that's public domain, it'd still be just as big as a disruption because of how…
