@OsherFeldman A large percentage of small businesses are lifestyle businesses in Australia… also ask the question how many are actually making profitable exists and selling?
@gleb_alexandrov Don't be fooled by this bozo - he just wants to flex his Poliigon logo to say he supports Blender more than you... Also, why not speak about AI-generated materials? Or would that affect his bottom line?

This is where real AI is happening, not your movies and images and saying look what I made, Mom.
YouTubers, unless they have robot facilities, won't be talking about this, and if Blender made them lol
They ask if it’s AI.
Let them.
AI gives you a slot machine.
CGI gives you a scalpel.
Premium brands aren’t paying for pixels, they’re paying for someone who knows where to cut.
That is the reality all these Gen AI tools are trained on artists work. AI bros forget this and think their amazing prompts and the AI is acting in singularity creating their unique vision. On top of which they just trained the AI on their dime. Prior to AI what were all these amazeball ‘AI Artists’ doing?
This is the problem and the real issue in my mind. The promise of AI was to make existing mediocre tasks easier and precise. Instead it just went full throttle into replacement. I think craft will always win but artists are going to have to become very very good to swim through the oceans of AI waste.
@AndrewHodgson3D What I find interesting is that he was all in about free software and now pushes spending money on ‘credits’ with the random VC venture AI businesses. On top of that you are paying them to train their ai models.
