I have yet to see any real explanation for why the team was let go, and I’m somewhat hesitant to assume it’s because take 2 thinks gen ai is a bad bet. When I first saw Luke’s post I had that same thought of “oh good, it’s happening” but dug in a bit more. There’s responses and likes of his in the past that call out gen AI…
As a solo indie dev I did a fair amount of research into generative AI, as the technology would absolutely level the playing field against triple A companies. A lot of early concepts for Project Nova were made using early builds of stable diffusion, which I've since removed from my sketchbook. I came to the realization of…
AI isn't threatening anyone's jobs. I've already put it to the test as a solo developer. It doesn't even threaten 2d artist's jobs; we need the PSD files to be able to do cool stuff with it, like UI design elements. Images with prebaked colour, linework and lighting are useless. 1-off 'hero' artworks used for things like…
yea it's been a couple years as an indie dev, and so far I still haven't found any use for AI outside chatGPT as an enhanced google search, and stable diffusion for placeholder art that I want to replace with human made art.
Finally, there is a court ruling in Germany on the question of whether data mining and the use of publicly available images for training AI is legal. A stock photo provider has sued LAION, the maker of the training data sets, which is for example used in Stable Diffusion. It is. And that is even if you state an explicit no…
Geez :/ I wanted to stop discussing here since it became a bit too heated for my flavour. But this fake news here draws me back in. I am pretty sure that this image was created to provoke this "theft" look by using the image to image method. And not by letting it create by AI from scratch. Image to Image allows you to…
I came here to respond to the original post but I think everyone is picking on Adobe for being Adobe, "Yes that quote of them reserve the rights to own your s*** if you choose to use their product has been there for a long time." I personally don't use Adobe and I thank the open source / people who were fed up with where…
Well, for me it is simply a tool like Photoshop :) You still underestimate the effort to create something really good looking with AI. It is not enough to type in a few words. You still, and even more than in traditional art, need the artistic skills and knowledge to steer the AI where you want it to be. Else it will go…
