I dont understand the purity tests we are putting artists through
AI is just a tool. It can be used correctly to assist in making a gopd product, or a lazy artist can make slop (a lazy artist will produce crap regardless AI or not)
If its wrong to use AI to make filler material, then is speedtree wrong for allowing environmental artists to take a shortcut and not have to hand craft every tree in their game world?
like, minus all the plagarism and energy use issues. If wre are speaking strictly of artistic integrity or whatever, i dont see the problem in using AI to assist artists (as opposed to outright replacing them)
Pretty sure that's the primary thing everyone takes issue with. If you removed that most people wouldn't have as big of a problem with it. There is still a social issue at play in terms of the potential damage generative AI can do to the job market with no real safety nets or long term consideration for the consequences to society and the economy, but most people aren't even getting that far.
Yeah I think if you removed like...
I'd be a lot more positive about it.
The thing is, this is all more or less intrinsically baked together into a fetid seeping mess. Just how you can't remove the milk from coffee once you've put it in, you can't remove this from the AI we have today. You'll have to discard the cup and do it over.
I love how "don't break the rules and lie about it when entering a contest" is a purity test, now. Y'all are fucking wild.
Seems silly to require ALL the unit tests pass, too, cut them some slack. /s
I don't think there is any problem with using AI art as a placeholder until the real art is ready.
I also don't think there is any problem with being disqualified from a competition that says "No AI Art" for doing so.
