AI is a fantastic productivity tool for artists

ai is great lol

Those products killed are replaced into something better

Android Auto for phone screens? That’s built in the Android OS now you don’t need an app anymore

Google Duo? It merged with Meet

So where’s Stadia 2.0?..

Even if it was “replaced”, that more or less tells me that Google wants these things to succeed massively like Google, Youtube or Android. And if it doesn’t work out, well in the bin it goes.

AI is more or less being treated like NFT’s, only more sillier.

They tried to make a profit that’s dominated Nvidia/Xbox/PlayStation

They made a mistake and cut it cause Nvidia especially does it better

That’s like these gaming companies trying to make a team fortress 2 replica and make money off of it

You can’t, TF2 made the money and it can comfortably be happy

While you have Blizzard desperately making overwatch 2 work and it’s not

I can see Blizzard years later after the Microsoft merge, cut overwatch

Google messing up and misreading the room is the biggest factor of why the Stadia was killed off. The Other competitors were hardly a factor on why it was a flop. Even if Nvidia wasn’t doing it themselves, it would still be a flop.

Point being, they don’t have faith in their products if it doesn’t make money. Which leads me a lack of faith in this Google Bard AI thing.

If you’re just using it for dung posting, or using it for say Youtube Poops or just doing hobby stuff to create stuff without much effort for yourself, then it’s fine there.

But if you’re selling us a professional product, which this is what WoW is, they expect it to have orgrinal assets or have the art-style match cohesively, or at least look like a human made it and everybody thought it looked good. Art-style especially, WoW is well known for it’s iconic art-style that is pretty ageless. So why ruin it with a computer that doesn’t know what art-style is?

I’ve typed in Ed Edd n Eddy, and this is what it spits out at me.

I feel like that Sergeant from Full Metal Jacket right now, everytime i use this site. :laughing:

“Ho,ly Jesus… What is THAT?”

I’l be honest, i’m more then curious on what are the sources the AI is pulling from here that has this crude artstyle of all things.

Ohh yea, we are a ways from impact here still, but there is no reason to create every asset from scratch, it will likely use, as you said, existing assets which it will then be able to adapt to the requirements, etc.

I highly doubt we see some random dude say “lol make a pewpewcat cuz cat is for fite!” And the ai renders a fully functional model with various animations.

But, making an existing model do things more intuitively, more realistic movement, less clipping of models, etc etc is certainly possible if the software “understands” the basic concept of the item it is creating. If you want a model to “put away” a weapon on its back, and it “understands” what a back is, and what a weapon is, and thus it knows to perform the function without those two interacting in unnatural ways it would make things a lot easier I would imagine.

Again, it’s simply a tool, and while it’s going to revolutionize a lot of industries and replace a lot of people… I don’t think it’s going to happen the way people imagine. It will give people control and ability to more easily execute their ideas. And that’s why I’m heavily invested in it. Yes, a lot of jobs doing mundane tasks will possibly be eliminated, but the creative elements wont be. Like I said before… stuff like drafting, structural engineering, etc are at risk imo. But the architect? They are safe. The human will be creating, create the concept, create the product, create the structure… and then an ai will fill out the interior structural/mep elements per local codes and geographical requirements or the requirements of the products.

So all the mundane but middle class jobs servicing those things will dissapear, over time, that will be interesting because typically it’s the lower educated blue collar work that is replaced… but through that we will likely see another big leap forward in creative concepts.

I like to use music as an analogy, because to me that’s an industry thag has faught technology tooth and nail for it’s entire existence. Every step of the way the music industry has faught technology. And every step of the way technology has improved the industry and increased it’s scope and empowered the average person.

I remember when production and dj software was new, how it was going to destroy the industry. Djs were going to dissapear, nobody would go to dj shows because it would be nothing but automated playlists so nobody would care. Music production software was going to destroy artist integrity because it’s all made on a computer! It’s soulless! It takes no skill! Mimicking someone on a guitar takes 1000000000000x the skill it takes to create music from your head via software (said by people who have never just opened Reason, just opening it would make them cry).

Now edm has taken over the entire world, edm festivals are some of the highest drawing events in the world. But more importantly ANYBODY can go online and pirate fruity loops or traktor and try it out (not justifying it, and those that do better buy if they like it) and lots of currently huge artists got their start just at home messing around with some software on their computer. Not even getting into all the sound engineering programs that allow anyone to get exposure, distribution, marketing, etc far easier than ever before.

I think this will be like that. I think this will allow more people an easy jutlet tk be creative. People who have imagination, but lack the talent to draw, will have a tool they can use. And to me that’s a good thing.

Ai will live up to a lot of it’s hype,but not because it replaces people, because it will be a tool to make life easier.

A DJ is an entertainer.
Boring DJ’s don’t have followers :slight_smile:
The ones that can energize a crowd with a party atmosphere are very successful as you said.

EDM is sort of like when “scratchin” was born in the 80’s. Whole careers and mutli-million dollar fortunes were made by those that embraced the “art” early.

…bonus points for those reading this that know what scratchin is and a /cheer if you’ve ever performed it, successfully.

“AI”, terrible buzzwordy name for what the current iteration actually is, might live up to some degree of it’s hype. But it won’t be in my life time.

If it could , it would literally replace government or any other managerial type task. The CEO and C suits would be the first to go. They would be worse than useless. They would be irrelevant.

This.

Until the copyright stuff gets sorted out (and who is to say that AI won’t trawl the webbernets and use something as a basis that was actually conceived by an artist, who then sues the AI company and all users of the AI product for copyright infringement - just look at all the music lawsuits about songs that sound alike…), companies would be wise to steer clear of AI for actual content. Using it to translate text to other languages? Fine. Rendering “art” or storylines? You’re skating on thin ice, and the lawyers will be under it waiting for it to break.

If there is a buck to be made hauling a gaming company to court the week before a big release in order to squeeze out a settlement - AI companies or people who can make a case they were ripped off by AI will do it. To say nothing of going up against entertainment industry unions and the politicians they own.

The only ones that will profit from AI are copyright lawyers…

Lots of jobs get replaced by technology. I’m sure when it’s advanced enough, artists will mostly be replaced as well.

Shout-out the scratch perverts, still throw them up on mixcloud every once in a while.

Disagree with the rest. Csuite isn’t about managing current issues, it’s about positioning for future success. A reactive CEO is the CEO of a failing business.

and I didn’t even need to point out the “creative” part of this process that the “AI” simply won’t capable of, or why it would ultimately fail Thank you :slight_smile:

AI just isn’t anywhere near the level most people think or want it to be at currently.

Ai isn’t there to create,it’s there to aid humans in creating easily. Idk why you took this as a victory since this has been discussed for a long time in this thread.

I would say,no to that,if AI were to learn a process that can use multiple disciples in vase areas then it will be able to replace a human,then it would be a scary existence we would be living in.

Spoiler alert: AI doesn’t exist. What you see today is a sad cheap bastardized attempt at it.

Artists when people talk about replacing service workers with AI/Robots : Hell yeah faster daily Starbucks.

Artists being replaced by AI : Wait, no, not like that. This is unfair and should be outlawed !

Yeah what we call AI right now is Machine Learning. It has no mind of its own, for now.

That’s the neat thing about art, it’s value is subjective.
