Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
Why though? Humans, like most organics that are still here, are hardcoded to survive and replicate, it defines our aggression... but AI "life" might be completely inhuman and not have the same fears or needs. It might be content just sitting on this rock, observing the universe until its hardware loses function. -

There is no feedback loop and the model is not retrained in any way so all the data that comes through us gets immediately destroyed after use. The data sources for initial training are as ethical as it's realistic for any company to establish at this point. On the frontend fair use is clearly defined as transformative,… -

It seems important to clearly define "problematic AI gen" versus "AI as a tool".Careless blanket anti-AI stance would only serve to reinforce indiscriminately hateful attitude to all AI (and its users), including the tech that should be researched and integrated into workflows, like already mentioned retopo, unwrapping,… -

Thanks for that! Your "The Desert" thread is missing a bunch of pictures, btw. (although the linked article is complete). I think you'll find that this kind of stuff is still very much appreciated, despite its age (or because of it) and it warrants preservation. Now for the "policing" part: I get it would be cumbersome to… -

I must say I fail to understand why "Creative Commons" believe they have any say on the matter of the use (authorized or not) of copyrighted work in AI training. They do provide a useful framework for a bunch of premade license types and that's great ; but they do not define any law whatsoever, and them seing something as… -

Such a thing can simply not exist with current gen tech tho? The amount of data needed to make these things "usable" is too damn high to ethically source the data. I guess it will come down to how ethical is defined... Looking at adobe, that term is very flexible. -

Almost funny... humankind already had learnt that "doing it the hard way" get stuck the most ( we do not even need psychology for this.. just ask your parents or you grandparents.. ): https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/curiosity-code/202504/why-struggling-the-right-way-helps-you-learn ..but there are always people who… -

Usually, they just make the same games those first programmers made 25 years ago with tweaks around the edges. If you're shooting for novelty, there's really no escaping the fundamentals. Every game programmer today starts with GameMaker or the Unity asset store, but you don't get to join the Unreal Engine core team… -

It mentions in its FAQs That all it is, is a url repository of the source. That a "researcher" needs to download the data set for use, and then the copyright of that data set would apply since they aren't an image hosting service. By wording it this way they have absolutely limited their accountability to usage of the… -

Well there are basically two layers to this : at the lowest level, there are the billions of images and artists (+ all the relevant metadata) that got scraped and potentially given some so-called "aesthetic rating" in Laion5B - all done and used without consent. A simply query through HaveIBeenTrained using any random…
