As an indie game dev with an insanely low budget, I'm looking forward to the time in the future where people stop giving the random fuck they're currently giving about the use of AI gen content so I can safely build my game with higher quality assets without the fear of a mob of angry consumers flooding my steam page with bad reviews. It seriously boggles my mind why this is even a trend right now. People need to realize we're saving money where we can so we can improve the quality of the product elsewhere! I'll now have more enemies in my game because I no longer need to hire a concept artist for the general concept. I'm empowered to do that work myself in a few minutes of chat prompts, and I'm still hiring 3D Artists to bring that concept to life.
Please people, chill the fuck out and let the industry adjust appropriately to this amazing technology. Y'all sound like those that protested the use of cars when the horse lost it's job to it.
Why are people concerned about AI? /s
AI is obvious the future of applied arts but it will take it's time for people and industries to adjust. Not long ago CGI were not considered art at all.
@gapbetweenus @Ohi I guess concept artists don't need to eat any more.
Applied artist will need to adapt. I guess applied arts will move more towards editorial tasks. That's how technological advancement works - driving horse carriages was a job once. Like again CGI made a lot of classical applied jobs obsolete and people had to adapt or find a niche where their skill is still needed.
The bigger problem is who own AI and who profits from it. But that is a question we as society have to face and answer.
