Yup. It's all about money and power. Just last year Microsoft orchestrated what can only be described as a hostile "takeover" of Open AI. They forced unwanted board members out and replaced them with their own corrupt and loyal cronies.
I'm personally not against AI-powered tools that aims to make an artist's work easier. Clip Studio Paint has a bunch of tools like generating shadows and other stuff I forgot about. Even though they're wonky and don't work on most artstyle, I can see myself using such tools. For the autodesk AI shape thingy, it could be…
the more i think about it, the only thing i really see AI doing is giving more power to the anti-social types and owning class. for 99% of human history, a persons value was in their character. What they do daily, and this is summarized as reputation and known locally. Reputation has to be maintained daily - you can't…
Well, considering that the example promts consists of things like this … … it seems pretty clear to me that this is using the same kind of artist-fucking, image-stealing, compensation-dodging tech that powers all other AI image generators. Make of that what you will.
Well that's the thing : even though the results are polished, the person doing the "inpainting" here is pretty much letting his brain rot and is locking himself into a future of skill apathy. That makes him the perfect employee to exploit for cheap, since anyone with basic art skills can do it. I must say I am fascinated…
I think it will bring back traditional art or at the very least make it more popular. The AI can't do gouache paintings for example nor do I see any benefit someone would gain by making a robot powered by AI that could do it. Personally, I'd not worry much about this AI stuff if you're an artist who does their own thing to…
I think it's less that they don't have a concept. I think they just don't care. And why would they? It's making them a shit-tonne of money, isn't it? And of course, we live in a capitalist society, so there's no way our governments and corporations - which are basically the same thing through the power of bribing - I…
CGHub... so much potential, and sadly it was so short lived. Artstation has been missing the qualities that made it shine since inception. Totally agree with the "set your own stuff up" bootcamp. Even if it is longer than a weekend for some, it's still worth the powerful knowledge of owning and maintaining your own domain,…
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…
