I really don't think anyone gives a crap about the tool itself. I think it's pretty neat they got the thing up and running. When Adobe put out a version stating the dataset was made from artists who were in their stable, it sounded ok. Cept the artists were never asked if they wanted to take part in providing their…
I can see it being used credibly as a inspirational, concept tool, ive seen some pretty damn nice and amazingly creative things done with it. Of course it will be horribly abused and honestly at least right now it with enough convolutions just like any machine ai art starts becoming samey and repetitive, but for every…
Its kinda the reason why atleast in AAA studios at the moment I've learned from colleagues that AI's primary use has been moodboards and to an extent generative fill. So far there isn't a push to AI based texturing or modelling though studios are looking to develop inhouse solutions to automate many of these processes and…
Thanks for sharing, To be fair they didn't use it in their cards as far as we know, but by doing this they certainly hurt their credibility. I feel that unless the ethical and copyright considerations are addressed, AI use is very condemnable, though I can see some creativity in its use, for example by this photographer…
Studios that use AI for inspiration in its current form are creatively bankrupt for the reasons you mention. Their games won't sell or be hits so you shouldn't care if they use them or not. Real pros won't. If they use a pureref board with nothing but "cyberpunk babes with big tits overlooking a neon city" the game will…
Personally I don't see the democraticized wide spread use of AI art as microsoft and Open AI are suggesting. I don't think that people were not being creative because of the bar set by artists. Like anyone can pick up a pencil and draw and not everyone wants to monetize and brand them through their art. Like AI art use for…
Whatever their attempts or solutions they seem to care about money so go after their profits and that is how this situation gets corrected quickly, if some "gov" is attempting to "hear" "the people", then voice that, if they are using materials from living artists, those living artists should be compensated automatically…
Many people supporting AI art really are clueless. Instant gratification is all there is here. Though I can see it being used for some meaningful work, its just where the images were sourced from makes it disturbing to use. That and the endless saturation, any iota or creativity even in the prompts is totally lost on me.
I shouldn't have said it as "over" permanent employment in a studio space. Was wrong there. I meant more like it should be given as a middle ground option for creatives that more flexible in their employment. But its going to be a tricky balance. The public face of many AAA companies is that they are growing and…
