Three words you will never see in the future: "Respected AI Artist". History of course will respect the great artists of the past. But in the future the respect will be reserved for the ones who created the AI, not the ones who pay a monthly fee to use it. It has basically granted everyone with super powers. And spare me…
Hey let's keep it civil please. No need for name calling. Otherwise I'll be forced to close the thread. But I'd much rather see polite debate, and keep it open. https://polycount.com/discussion/63361/information-about-polycount-new-member-introductions/p1#respect
Sorry @zetheros , you are right, just one last thing in respect to quote above: @tiles, you've been trying to make a point for three pages and nobody is buying it. Naturally, since you won't concede anything, people going to start dropping the politeness and just get to the point and start insinuating that you are either…
I know that it feels wrong to you that AI looks at your images and then draws in your style. But feeling doesn't count. This part is simply not illegal. Style cannot be patented. Maybe in the future there is some regulation. But not now. Well I mean, it sort of counts. You seem to have this interesting viewpoint that it…
I also feel its the heavy marketing investment which cuts into development costs. Development is usually kept behind closed doors citing competition concerns, and most games marketing is focused on release sales, which is usually when games make their money. Live service seems to be a good work around since it keeps…
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…
@Tiles well yeah winners and losers is the thing. People who had been winning by merit of their own hard won skills now become the losers, and people who've done nothing now are allowed to be winners. But they've sacrificed nothing. That's why the word fair keeps coming up. So, if you were not able to afford to pay artist…
Those jobs which are necessary for people to live are grueling and menial... but making stupid entertainment that is designed to funnel money from adults through their ignorant children are life affirming? I mean maybe for you it has been great but there is more to the world than your emotions, isn't there? But set that…
@Tiles : I would say that you explaining your actual intent with your use of this tech is far more conductive to discussion than any earlier Photoshop analogy or attempts at anthropomorphizing (right word ?) the tech. So, this tech using/relying on millions of images without consent (regardless of this practice being…
