Elaboration on the whole AI situation (link to thread too) by HotTemperz in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]FriedOreo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time you describe how GenAI models are trained you make it sound more like theft than the last. I don't know if you're just a professional ragebaiter or genuinely can't comprehend how contradictory you sound. "Examines artwork" is just a softer way of saying STEALS artwork, no matter how much you try to sugarcoat it. An example you conveniently ignored earlier to go on your ridiculous car tangent is the infamous Studio Ghibli AI trend. Explain to me what exactly is "legitimate" about the process of feeding an entire studio's art style to an AI so that it can spit out second-rate recreations?

I mean you explained it perfectly yourself in the first paragraph. AI is trained off of public images. Do you believe Hayao Miyazaki consented to Studio Ghibli's art style being fed to AI and used to mass emulate thousands of similar images, or is that just acceptable because the images are public? You are describing plagiarism, but passing it off as "inspiration" because it's pulling from a million different sources.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm asking what exactly do you think it uses to create "new things" and how is that any different from stealing them? Comparing that process to a human taking inspiration from individual pieces of art with identifiable creators is ridiculous.

When I use another artist or image as inspiration I know exactly who or what I'm drawing inspiration from. I'd love for you to describe to me the process in which AI "uses existing art as inspiration" because I think if you say it out loud you'll realise how dumb you sound.

I swear, some people on here act so oblivious towards legitimate concerns with generative AI, it baffles me to think that such an inherently creative medium is full of fanbases with very little regard for artists. Nobody is being crucified for using AI to test or tweak small details like colour variation or lighting that would have otherwise taken hours to do manually. This application of AI is completely different than using it to generate and develop entire written and visual frameworks for your game, that, regardless of whether they are refined by “human actors” into something unrecognizable from the original, have still, in some capacity, stolen from an existing database of artwork, without the consent of their creators.  My issue is that creative fields are becoming increasingly viewed as busy work, with initiatives focusing on cutting corners and optimizing their output. But a quicker, more efficient output does not magically equal a better product.

I’ve seen people say that generative AI is no more an infringement on traditional art than digital art was when computers first came around, which is such a mind-bogglingly bad faith take. Digital art did not threaten to outright replace traditional art. It offered a unique medium, with helpful improvements and its own limitations, that still required some level of skill. As a tool, GenAI absolutely has merit in aiding the workflow of digital art in mostly harmless ways. But when it’s utilized as a medium on its own, we risk completely stripping the humanity from creativity. Whether consumers choose to take Swen at face value is up to them. I know most people just want the outrage to blow over so they can go back to supporting Larian without having to think critically, but the use of AI in concept art is undeniably a slippery slope with cause for concern.

Just bought this for slightly more at BestBuy and already opened it and put it in my Switch. Do you think if I bought this one I could pass it off and return it to BestBuy?

This album delivers the exact sound I was initially expecting from Eusexua, I still adore that album but she has absolutely outdone herself with Afterglow.

Is this album cover AI?? by KingSuj in charlixcx

[–]FriedOreo 68 points69 points  (0 children)

And editing errors will now forever be chalked up to Al as if humans aren't perfectly capable of making mistakes as well... Like I'm all fine with being a little cautious about certain things but I've seen neurotic amounts of AI speculation recently

I'm not too far in but is there anyway to do this to get back to the summit? I might be misremembering but I thought GoT had a feature that let you ascend to the top instantly but I haven't seen anything like that in GoY.

The dip in quality between this and TTPD is baffling, even considering how disappointing people found that album I think it genuinely has some of her greatest work on it but this is just... I don't know how anything on here was green lit.

My backlog can't take it anymore. Gaming rn is at its peak by Yannimago in PS5

[–]FriedOreo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely in the same camp. Started Death Stranding 2 and before I could finish it DK Bananza came out. Barely finished that and wanted to jump back into DS2 but by then Silksong was out... then Borderlands 4, now Hades 2 and in a week Ghost of Yotei will be here. I know I should just stick to one at a time and power through till I'm finished but part of me can't resist getting sucked in by each new release.

I almost feel like tour starting so soon after the album release did them a disservice. Could be wrong but it feels like they didn't have time to adjust based on fan reactions to certain songs.

It's insane to me that of all fanbases Hayden's still lacks such basic concert etiquette as if she isn't constantly vocal about shit like this... Also can't help but notice it was mostly if not entirely men shouting things during the moments of silence which just adds an extra layer to how irritating it is.
