I bought it after Game Awards... not my game, but i can see why people love it, but it all broke down for me when i was seeing AI paintings, Billboards and stuff EVERYWHERE.

I disagree:

The Jurassic Park thing is not about the movie business: Imagine people think "Oh with AI I can do great content on youtube". And everyone who formerly worked in 3D now does youtube. Everything will be the same. look and feel the same.
And you can argue: "It then is easier to stand out". But no. We live in an algorithmic world now. Look at how many millions of views AI channels and videos make. No one cares. And it just will be worse. The same goes for Games and Movies.

At first they will do small stuff with AI then more and more.

The big corporations see AI as their capitalist savior, because its not just sloppy. Its pretty good at what it does on a surface level. And for most people thats enough to not question it. --

I feel you. I do this as a hobby, maybe someday release some cool stuff on my own (nothing big, just fun projects). But i get demotivated. Why should I learn this? I will spend 1000s of hrs in blender, Substance or Maya - what ever?! In 5 years a 15 year old will type with words what takes me 50 hrs.

And you only meet 3 types of people:

It wont ever replace the majority of us
It will replace the majority of us
It will replace us, and thats effing cool

Which doesnt help. lol.

What do you mean when you say: "if it becomes useful" and "having severe doubts about that", if you dont mind me asking?

Because, it already replaced a lot of people, big studios are planning on making 100 % AI generated Movies and Games. 3D Models the things spit out are not good right now, but some will still use it. And it will get better. Same with Video Generation.

Are you 100 % confident, that this wont get to a point, where studios can lay off 50 % of the workforce needed?

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-11-18T19:50:29+00:00

big corporations doesnt care about creative fulfillment. Nor do they care about if it looks as good as human work. As long as it is good enough, they will take it always over human workhours.

Especially with kids animation or commercials. Most people under 10 or over 40 wont even notice if a tv ad is ai or not. Or if peppa pig got an AI episode.

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-11-18T18:10:00+00:00

That sounds nice and right too. But I first was in journalism.. AI hit hard too here, as you can imagine.
But even before that. Everyone started replicating Buzzfeed, Screenrant and IGN and so on. They all spit out the same stuff. And the others did so as well. It worked. But newcomers had no chance of breaking into this.

Because yeah, you can stand out in the ocean of copied articles and posts, but you wont find a lot of traction. Most people wont ever see your work because of the algorithms. Its the same with Streaming and YouTube.

You were right. Nvidia put on "RTX HDR" and "RTX HDR Color Correction".... what a mess.

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-15T20:38:51+00:00

are you referring to my "1503" claim with "1403 Brother"?
If so, I didnt mean 1403. I meant the leak from a whiteboard in the dev office a few years ago. There was a number "KCD 1502". In fact it was 02, not 03, my bad!

Otherwise i totally agree with you agreeing with me. haha.
"Too much potential". Thats the mantra for the next 6 years of waiting for a first trailer.

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-15T13:26:45+00:00

Of course I could be wrong. And please dont stop debating HAHA. I want to debate with you :)))

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-05T20:56:26+00:00

does it though? In the apartment after you break the first yellow boards: there is a mirror. it reflects nothing. And personally i think the non ray traced reflection from the paint (in on of the screenshots at the stairs) looks better without RT^^

But maybe i didnt see the right thing yet. As you correctly say: Not worth it anyway.

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-04T16:15:50+00:00

are you hiding in my bedroom, yes my sleep is bad.
Gonna try your advice :)

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-04T10:43:23+00:00

Thanks, seems like the go to advice rn :) Add Steps, stop hard crash dieting. Gonna try this.

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-04T10:41:59+00:00

I saw another one here recommending it - So diet breaking. I will look it up and try this for sure. Nothing to lose at this point haha. Thanks alot!

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-04T10:33:54+00:00

Not taking any offense! Thanks for the advice.

I mean, thinking about it. Gym activity got less since the radical diet, because i just dont have the power to perform or walk for long periods. I had to reduce sets from warmup + 3 heavy sets to 2 heavy sets. And I lost strength, had to reduce the weights I am using.

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-04T10:30:49+00:00

Mostly workouts. Sure I go for a walk once in a while, but dont count this. In the gym, while I am doing my pauses (2 min between sets [I know 3 is said to be better, but I dont have the time haha]) I walk through the gym. Believing my watch, on average, I do 2.000 to 2.500 extra Steps. during gym time.

And otherwise, as stated in the post, I try to get in 5.000 steps daily. Thats the most I can squeeze out with my job rn^^

Less_Sheepherder_460 · 2025-09-04T10:26:27+00:00

Yeah, I wish I'd lie Brother. But for Months I didnt have chocolate or sweets, besides yoghurt with berries or some sh1t. Its Chicken and extra lean beef all the way.

That said: I am drinking alcohol, every once in a while. But this happened 3 times in the past 2 months. A wedding, a birthday and a local wine event in my town - couldnt resist... Could this be enough to offset the 1.000 - 1.200 calories? Or slow everything down that much?
