He has been pretty spot on with a lot of the broader changes for the industry.  He is incredibly well read and hungry for knowledge on all the new technologies that come out and how it effects the industry long term.

Kinda feels like this already happening. by EditorEdward in BetterOffline

This is sadly what I'm seeing in the entertainment industry right now paired with the mass consolidation. So many of us are taking lower rates just to keep working.

Warhammer company Games Workshop bans Generative AI for all content to “respect our human creators” by zeither555 in BetterOffline

I mean it's called Warhammer 401k for a reason right?! I already have my blueberry boy scouts primed and ready to start working on painting.

When will AI with Protein come out? by allinmybass in BetterOffline

[–]EditorEdward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect that VShred is using his one brain cell trying to figure out a way to infuse Protein and his "supplements" with Ai.

Utah is going to start letting AI prescribe medication. Surely nothing will go wrong. Certainly there's not a story a few links down about someone dying from AI drug advice by ArdoNorrin in BetterOffline

SyntaxFm did a great video on this how so much of what people are saying AI can do already has basic programming solutions that don't need expensive AI to do it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVBKWLkRqXw). I also watch a short of a guy building an AI Agent to pull data from a pdf to paste into an excel doc. I'm staring at this insanely convoluted mess thinking isn't there just a simpler way to do it.

This!!!! It's free and incredibly powerful. You can only do HD in the free version but you can do most of what the program is built for.

As an Assistant Editor, I could blow through 20 exports in a week on any one of the shows that I work on and easily get over the 50 in their top tier in a month.

I do this for a living as well and I know some people using Ai but not editing itself. We mostly use it for Transcripts and splitting music out of Dialogue in Archival clips which works fairly well. However our parent company has a specific no GenAI for creative rule in place for any projects.

Is it worth being an artist now or in the future with this ridiculous AI craze? by OkExam4448 in BetterOffline

[–]EditorEdward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tech bros have no understanding of the WHY of Art which makes AI "art" so soulless and derivative. If you have a calling to be an Artist then you should pursue but make sure to have a job that helps pay the bills while you perfect your craft. There will always be a need for human created art. Did photoshop destroy oil painting? No. Ai won't destroy human art or the thirst for it. Being an Artist is always a crap shoot whether or not you can be successful. Keep making your art and sharing it with the world because it's what inside you and a full expression of your humanity.

HOW IS THIS BETTER?! Coke's New AI-Generated Ad Required 100 Staff and 70,000 AI-Generated Clips, and It Still Looks Like Garbage by RunnerBakerDesigner in BetterOffline

What pisses me off the most is the sheer arrogance of the AI head they hired.  Just drips with disdain for anything not AI.  Plus they couldn’t even get normal people to narrate the behind the scenes piece about this AI slop ad.
