I love how you didn’t read anything else I wrote regarding this and boiled it down to a quippy, holier-than-thou and wrong statement with no nuance. Typical internet dumbass.
I know it’s difficult for you to understand because you’re clearly kinda stupid, but the real world has this thing called “nuance” wherein two things that are seemingly contradictory at first glance can be true simultaneously.
Imagine a scenario: you are a major content artist at a studio. The studio has limited time to finish the project you’re working on, and limited money to do so. As such, you are told you need to create 200 textures extremely quickly that are due by the end of the week (not uncommon in today’s corporate crunch culture). Normally you’d throw your hands up and go “oh man, I’m fucked, I’m gonna get fired”. But thankfully you live in a world with stable diffusion models. You train said model on your own team’s previous work, then prompt it to generate a bunch of textures. You pick the best 200, and now you only have to clean them up. Bam, you have now saved 90% of your time working with a cutting-edge piece of productivity-improving software that is technically a plagiarism machine because you only had to clean up what it generated, and you didn’t infringe upon anybody else’s work that isn’t on the team you’re collaborating with (the art both you and the rest of your team make while doing so is legally owned by the company anyway). The company then keeps you on because you need to continually create fresh ideas to train the model on, because the model cannot create fresh, good ideas for injection into the model by itself, which is the reason they hired you in the first place. You keep your liveable-wage job and are now more efficient. You leave work at 5pm to go and hug your kids instead of being stuck at work crunching for 18 hours a day.
This is how AI helps artists, and it’s extremely common these days, even among independent artists. Your opinion is backwards; you’re arguing against tech that literally makes the lives of professional artists better. Please sit down and shut the fuck up, dumbass.
But it’ll never apply to what you do, because you’re special and that’s different.
Nuance nuance nuance! Plagiarism machine. Zero cognitive dissonance.
Generated content is great, it lets you go home early and fuck your wife! But let me ask you, novice: would YOU ever play a game with generated content?
This whole industry makes impossible broken demands, isn’t it just the tits? We’d never make games under-budget if not for this tech that I myself said was useless shite until just now. There’s no way increased productivity will also be crunched to demand 2000 textures in this eighty-hour week.
Obviously that scaling for selection doesn’t apply to MY job, because AI will never do what I do, unlike how I think it can handle everyone else’s work. Everyone insisting I’m not superior to all these NPCs I work with must not experience nuuuaaance.
I love how none of these are cogent counterarguments. They either deliberately misinterpret what I said to stick the landing for your mental gymnastics, assume things regarding ever-increasing, limitation-devoid scalability that wouldn’t make any sense if you had even a modicum of experience in the field being discussed, or just flat-out ignore what I said about discrete, niche, productivity-boosting use-cases (tl;dr the objective data says work slightly harder and with more originality in conjunction with your AI tools than people generating derivative AI slop and you will be completely fine, which is all I was saying) so you can keep sharpening your pitchfork and throwing it at shadows on the wall of Plato’s cave while screaming and shitting your pants. Hilarious.
What’s even funnier is that some of the things you’ve posted on Lemmy just within the last month alone glaze up particular individuals I’ve directly worked with in the industry who agree with me. Typical forum cretin; no thoughts, head completely empty aside from directionless, irrational anger and the social media misinformation fueling it.

Oh my god you’re still trying to have it both ways.

Mf thinks this is how gamedev works these days, lmao.
