HORRIBLE NEWS - Epic Games, has recent unveiled a video confirming that they use Generative AI to "aid" in the process of creating concept for Fortnite. This hasn't been extended into creating actual in-game assets, but I'm still upset. (1/5)
I worked for multiple companies and never saw a meaningful bonus.
Meanwhile, the CEOs and execs were busy posting luxury watches and sports cars on Instagram. Nothing about games or the people making them.
This industry is more broken than many of you are willing to admit.
"We want games, not art"
The constant battle of what a "real gamer" wants has led us here, where video games apparently should not be art. What a sad world to live in, where the greatest medium that combines every artistic pursuit into one, should not be art.
I disagree.
this "adapt or get left behind" argument is useless 'cuz if Fortnite made it this far without using ai, why use it now??
Epic can do what they want 'cuz it's their game, but for me?? I can make it to the moon and back without ai, so leave me behind, ig- idc 🤷🏿♀️
Epic ruined ArtStation, fired over a thousand devs and artists, pivoted hard to generative AI slop that stole all the art from ArtStation. This is bullshit PR spin for investor $$$. Don’t believe the hype. The slop part could be done more efficiently by human hand.
Everything on Artstation was stolen and scraped and fed into this bullshit BY THE WAY.
If you're art was on artstation guess what? You got your art stolen without your consent and fed into their predatory systems to again keep artists down.
funny how its always the large companies and non artists (people who have no idea what they're talking about) trying to make it seem like artists don't want to do their jobs
artists have been making video game concept art for years, they never needed these tools, nor did they ask for them
1,000+ fired at Epic for cheap labor. Creativity is gone. Same clowns who backed the Darth Vader AI Back star wars Season you have no opinion !
Stop tweeting complaints. Cancel your fortnite Crew. Stop spending on item shop It will get worse across the entire industry because nobody takes real action Congratulations to those still supporting it Buying skins and Fortnite Crew Numbers
Not sure why so many people are on their hands and knees sucking Tim's dick over this instead of just saying its bad
It's pretty much just people saying "I know im not supposed to support this, but I never actually bothered to look into why ai is bad and therefore don't care"
Some other stuff i noticed other than meowskulls. The fucking text changes of the pastry boys logo to the point you cant even read it, and even the brats design changes. Thats so fucking stupid bruh keep this shit out of your game
I’m glad that everyone is calling out Epic for their shitty ai art process, especially agreeing that Ai Meow Skulls looks way worse than the original. Even if it doesn’t deter epic from using ai, it makes me happy knowing that most of the community actually appreciates real art.
Do people not know how Generative AI works? Do people not know the consequences of consecutive use of generative AI tools in a large scale? Do people not know AI feeds off artists art?? PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID
Games were made for decades without the need to offload the creativity and craftsmanship to a bot. The only reason to push for this is so they can eventually lay people off and increase everyone else's workload.
GenAI is not the friend of developers or gamers.
i do not care if the ai is grass fed.
i do not want it to be used in any part of the artistic process for anything, and the "adapt or die" mentality is the only reason its getting normalized.
ai is bad in infinitely worse ways than invading art spaces alone.
