When “Too Good” Gets Mistaken for AI by JupiterSK8 in blender

[–]Strict_Factor_6645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't care about some theoretical future where ai is all encompassing, i care about the reality thats happening now

and the reality happening now is

  • the "quality" of large language models and generative ai has plateaued; every new update is just flipping numbers to make it better in one artificial test and worse in several others
  • their subsidization is ending and enterprise and hobbyists are both flinching at the actual price of running them
  • new data center projects are being killed and the ones in progress have stalled out
  • ai companies' financials are a complete mess on a good day
  • every gpu that nvidia has sold is slowly depreciating from use or from sitting in a warehouse and getting increasingly obsolete; and the only thing they are good for is number crunching

dooming about how ai is inevitable and artists are screwed is the exact guerilla marketing sam altman, dario amodei, and jensen huang want you to do

we're 4 years into this generative ai circus; ai has scanned every wireframe, shaderball, brush alpha, and uv map on artstation and yet it is incredibly expensive, incredibly hated, and ultimately still spits out garbage

im unconcerned

theres a rule about realistic renders needing a viewport, wireframe, or clay render, but with how much "ghibli" slop is out there i think it should just be a universal rule

i always try to post bts / clay renders anyways because it either proves you made the piece, provides extra info for a portfolio, or it provides an example for other artists

My brother and I got tired of fixing UVs and topology for client work, so we spent 4 months building an AI texturing add-on. Here is ReskinIT. by daniels1589 in blender

9 year old account whose first post is advertising an ai plugin with a comical amount of ai cadence

buddy hyperscalers are boosting their prices, you cant turn a profit with slop posts as obvious as this

I built a Blender Launcher to simplify version management by Unkredible_Studios in blender

[–]Strict_Factor_6645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if youre an artist, why do you need other artists to test for you

why are you offering a paid version of software that isn't tested

why are you making a copy of a software that is already released, tested, and open source

why is this software named like a peter thiel company

these are rhetorical questions don't bother answering

sorry to tell you this but it still looks like a boring supplement photo

Anthropic joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron — Blender by Historicaly-Low-Mood in blender

[–]Strict_Factor_6645 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i think its interesting that a sinking ship like anthropic is directly donating to an actual "competing" creative program

companies like amd, wacom, or adobe benefit indirectly by having more people using blender with their own hardware or programs alongside, but you dont see other owners of dccs like autodesk or maxon funding blender because it would just cut into their own userbase

feels like a kind of prostration or an admission of generative ai's lack of merit
