If art is important to you, and you admit the art style is important enough for you to choose not to play a game, AND considering how AI art has only been around a short time…
Then doesn’t that kind of highlight the struggles that non-artistic game designers have faced? Potentially great game design overlooked because of poor art?
So can you see how AI art, which may not be the best but is certainly better than someone without artistic talent, might open doors that were previously closed?
“AI art will never take off or be more popular than traditional art!” says the increasingly nervous traditional artists as millions flock towards using AI art.

You don’t have to have a feeling. The data is right there.
Looks like it was 43k active users at the lowest and 46k active users at the highest. That’s almost a whole 7%. So if that’s your definition of a “lot more activity” then sure!
If that’s the case, then he shouldn’t have been punished. Regardless of people’s feelings about AI, imagine this were any other circumstance. “You did something that’s not against the rules but I don’t like, so I’m going to fail you and give you detention”. That’s a load of horseshit. Imagine they did the same thing if he had the paper transcribed through his speech. You don’t get to make up rules after the fact and then punish someone for them.
By all means, boycott them and see how that changes nothing…

Looks like one of those paintings you’d see street artists make with spray paint
Why songbirds and not other vocal mammals like squirrels? Do you think they know that some bird calls sound annoying as shit? Do you think animals cannot differentiate other animals apart and just assume anything that makes noise is a “songbird”?
Go back in the shower, this one needs more time to cook.
I’m not getting how the boss didn’t know. Seems like they were well aware?
Pretty sure the fake stuff has to call themselves maple-flavored syrup, pancake syrup, or just syrup, and only the real stuff is called “maple syrup”
Every artist complaining about AI art is like John Henry.
If AI is stealing because it’s using art in it’s learning algorithm, then so is every artist who has studied other artists for inspiration. AI just happens to do it a hell of a lot faster, kind of like how all technology does when it replaces any other form of labor. And while AI art can’t compete with the top 0.1% of artists, it can certainly compete with the bottom 99.9%, and it can produce thousands of images in the time it takes an artist to produce 1, which is plenty good enough for most applications.
No. AI art isn’t going anywhere. It’s too convenient and we’re not going to reverse course just to save jobs, something we have never done in the advancement of technology. No one stopped the steam engine driving railroad spikes because they wanted John Henry to keep his job. No one stopped the printing press because they were concerned about scribes. No one stopped the DVD because they were worried about what VRC repair men would do afterwards.
AI art is a tool, and it’s here to stay. Adapt or fall victim to the progress of technology. “AI art is sTEaLiNg” is some desperate nonsense that I think even those making it know deep down is BS. It’s the only argument being made because all the technical ones about quality, speed, and availability have quickly fallen flat. AI art is higher quality, faster, and more accessible to users than regular art and it’s not even a question. So all they have left is “it’s theft!” while conveninetly ignoring that it’s the same fucking thing they did to learn art, just in a much faster, more optimized way.
“If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.” Artists are firmly in the table pounding stage.
Yes.
What? You were expecting me to give a shit about what happens to my comments on a public forum?

It’s amazing how many ways you’re wrong when you spend even a second thinking about it. Why don’t you go back in the shower and let this one simmer a bit more.
This will be the third time I will have lost all my comment history and have to recreate my large block list. It’s not just a flip of the switch.
I always like sharing this apocryphal story about Michael Dell. So Michael Dell went to the same high school I did, and the rumor goes that when he was there, a bitchy English teacher once told him he would never amount to anything.
Well years pass and he creates the computer company we know today. He returns to the school district and offers to donate computers to all their schools, from elementary thru high school. He only had one condition, fire the bitchy teacher who insulted him all those years ago.
The school district never confirmed it, but one year that teacher didn’t return, and sure enough, every school in the district suddenly got brand new Dell computers.
