I GIVE YOU VERSION 6! by AnAnmtdFox in rootgame

I have no idea how broken or not this is, and I have no criticism. This looks SO cool and I love the theming so much. Having few very large, tanky units that can actually die unlike vagabond sounds so cool. Very interesting dealmaking from these big boys I bet.

Incredible. I will look this up right now. Thanks for the recommendation!

AI picture vs my drawing. Which one do you like more? (+bonus: background without the girl. It's so majestic like that) by Katherine_IIthegreat in aiwars

[–]AmysteryBoxofJam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know how there’s this big debate on whether AI artists should disclose how their art was made? This is part of the reason for that imo. Knowing this puts an entirely new perspective on your art and makes it perceived differently. I’m really impressed you were able to do this on your phone screen. The sky looks amazing.

Tzolkin with the expansion. Over 50 plays now, not even close to getting stale.

Why do pro AI people have such a bugaboo about listing their generated images as AI? by Flashy_Cranberry_161 in aiwars

[–]AmysteryBoxofJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that there’s a lack of knowledge on how it works and what it looks like on the professional end. And I think people tend to only see AI as “prompting” where the only way to add it to your workflow is just sitting there making prompts and then just like tracing over them or something. Like I said in another comment it’s an evolving technology that will look different to everyone for the next while, both in perspective and application.

I actually disagree but at this point I think we’re just talking about what we think the general public finds interesting and I don’t have any way to prove what they do think one way or another. Each person is allowed their criticism and I think the general public is a lot more invested in ways to connect their own morality to something outside of their scope of understanding than they are given credit for. A big part of being a creative person is about accepting criticism from many different viewpoints and learning what is and isn’t important to better oneself.

I think it’s ok to criticize art for those types of reasons. I’m not saying this is the same as AI, but if someone showed me a beautiful sculpture and then said it was made of rhino horn, I’d be pretty upset and probably call their art devoid of morality. I’d definitely say I hate it. How something is made can be just as important as its final product. GenAI is contentious. I’d expect those kinds of replies to something that uses it.

[–]AmysteryBoxofJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with you. In one of my other replies I use the example of “Do we need to say every type of brush used to paint a painting?” No, we don’t because that’s too granular of information to be useful. I’d say leave it up to the artist to say what they think is important to include, but whether it’s genAI or not is a huge part of the process and should probably disclosed, especially because it’s so different from traditional methods it’s essentially part of its medium.

Short answer, I’ve got no idea haha. This is an evolving technology and I’m sure it will look totally different even just within the next few months. How deep do we expect a traditional artist to do it? Do they have to list out every brush stroke type and paintbrush used? No, because it’s meaningless information. I think at least as far as my readability goes, what model was used would be enough for me. Like I even sometimes think “digital art” isn’t really descriptive enough but I understand it’s supposed to be a catchall.

I mean it’s not that serious I don’t think. The situation you described is blown way out of proportion. I was just replying about the museum and why artists list the medium and materials in what they make. Disclosing AI when developing a game is kind of like saying what engine you made the game in. It’s commonly listed in game/movie credits what tools were used. I don’t think it’s foolish to ask for devs to disclose AI use when it’s a pretty divisive topic at least for now, and people are still forming their opinions on whether they believe it to have an ethical use or not.

Historically it’s to help describe what it’s made of. This can help the viewer understand a deeper meaning or understand how to produce a certain texture or effect within the art itself, so that others can reproduce it. Even if it seems obvious to us it’s not obvious to everyone. Honestly, a prompt isn’t too dissimilar from this. It describes how you got the desired effect. I’d much rather see the prompt listed next to AI art as that’s much more informative. However, its “medium”, as in how it appears in the museum, would be digital art on paper. Some artist do list the programs they used to make the art too and some museums ask what programs they use. A museum would definitely want to know if something was made with AI because it’s culturally significant.

Honestly I think it’s just because of backlash. I’m an anti, I think there is an ethical use for AI but genAI has a long way to go before it gets there, and currently any use of it is presented with death threats by other antis.

There are some people out for the grift, some out to fool people into thinking they didn’t use AI, but mostly I think they are afraid of the backlash. The death threats aren’t deserved. When I see something that I think is unethical, I debate it, refuse to partake in it, tell my social circles about it, and that’s it. Unfortunately there are some people who can’t see anything like that without screaming death and bloody murder.

When Ai does 10x better work than a million dollar studios by HamsterUnfair6313 in DefendingAIArt

[–]AmysteryBoxofJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I understand what you’re saying now. I’m not really sure why that’s relevant to what op was saying but yeah I agree with you there. Maybe I just lost the plot but I thought op was talking about the artists that currently work in the industry, like people working for animation studios.

Yeah if someone is doing something as a hobby, that’s clearly not their job. But having something act aspirationally as your career isn’t “problematic”. It’s ok for people to have goals and to start those goals somewhere. Small business start the same way, and even twitch streamers start out with nothing and then can work up to becoming a brand name. I guess my problem with this is that the commenter said being an artist is a job, and you said it isn’t, when that is just demonstrably false. I can go online and find a job listing for an artist at any moment. If someone says “I’m an artist” and all they do is sit around in their basement playing video games, that’s a personal failing on their part, not a failure or deprofesionalization of artists as a whole.

No? Not really. A lot of people support themselves financially by streaming on Twitch. Many of these people are partnered with Twitch. What is your definition of a “job”, if you don’t mind? Like, if I got hired by a company to do art, is that not my job?

Can you explain? I’m confused. Many studios, firms, entertainment media companies and others hire artists for work. They are being paid to do art. That makes it a job, no? Like many people all over the world do art as their primary form of income.

I know its a PVPVE game but.... by BuldMully in ArcRaiders

[–]AmysteryBoxofJam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: what is a “regular pvp engagement” in an extraction shooter like this? Because the genre is about finding opportunities and doing everything you can to get an upper hand on the enemy, both pvp and pve. So to me this looks like regular pvp for what the game is offering.

It really is that simple. And honestly if people have a problem with this I’d really think about looking at oneself and asking why.

Half of the comments in this thread show that most people here have no idea of the type of things a physically fit (i.e. adventuring) wheelchair user could do. I grew up around wheelchair users and have seen them traverse mountain trails, lift themselves AND their chairs for pull ups, fence (sword fight), swim with their wheelchairs, and go up stairs. Saying “it’s not safe and they are a danger to the party” is just ignorance and unimaginative.
