You may be seeing a ton of Dentist stuff, but KEEP BOYCOTTING IDV.
Artists, animators', 3d modellers', coders' careers are at stake. Our EARTH is ENDANGERED by AI Datacenters- Forests and farms cut down, animals dying, people's FRESH water running out! KEEP AT IT!

im really so upset i spent so much time last month drawing all characters for my booths in june only to be hit with this i genuinely dont know what to do
UPDATE ON MY THREAD: my original thread was made in anger to the situation and all I could think abt was hurting the company and forgetting my thoughts would hurt the fans too.
Keep creating in spite of AI, keep creating for yourselves.
i really dont think its nesessary to tell idv FANARTISTS to STOP drawing their favs or js idv in general
the whole point of idv artists in the idv community is to show the creative side of a fandom, which is what we should be pushing! HUMAN MADE ARTWORKS TO SHOW NETEASE+
umm also i don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion but i think telling creatives they should entirely stop making fan works for idv kind of goes against the entire point of appreciating real artists.
imo we should really be appreciating those real artists More right now
Just a kind request. can people stop actioning for fan artists to stop drawing IDV/Sharing our work. for alot of us, myself included sharing our work means sales on our merch we need said sales to live. i received a not so lovely message on etsy saying i was 'ruining the boycott'
It's simply shameful to see a game that highlights so many different forms of art and their importance spit on the very message they're trying to convey. STOP USING AI! SUPPORT REAL ARTISTS!

Because it needs to be said: I think it’s important that people address how they feel to the appropriate people - but just like every single community going through the same in their own fields - it’s so important that we don’t unwisely misguide fury causing it to tear each other apart and set internal fire to the homes we’ve built when trying to address a specific mechanical flaw happening outside the house. Im sure you all have heard something similar: but it’s not necessary to rip and destroy an entire canvas to fix a problem related with the brush. AI is new, yes, but we are not new to the history of humanity and how we’ve handled unfamiliar and undesirable technologies or situations. Community will always be the most valuable thing and that is something that should be pushed forward front and center, especially now. You can be vocal about what ails you while also keeping your fellow artist safe and driving art to the top where it belongs - Both things can exist at the same time. All feelings are valid because all artists are gripped with emotion and fear at the presence/potential of losing their jobs - but we also need to be mature about this and understand that human’s strive for progress versus power is a long game of chess and the priority ALWAYS needs to be protecting your flock. It may be hard to see things in such a way right now because we are all at an emotional climax, and there will be oh so many…. But we need to be open soon to a discussion about how we plan to live alongside AI - because it’s not leaving us in the immediate vicinity; just as much as the discovery of photoshop and cgi didn’t leave us (yes, some of us were around for those and we remember those ‘dark’ times too, while not as large scale as this). I promise you, humanity won then and it will win above these shaky times too. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t lose effort. If we have to live w a harsh reality that we live in a capitalistic system and are forced to swallow this because cutting corners saves someone on top a lot of money: then let’s use that to our advantage - you are the paying client, and you are not happy with the product being delivered. This is not by any means a soap box moment to halt any movement - on the contrary, this is solely to protect the people I’ve connected with in the past, future, and my most valuable present. I am extremely grateful to the art team for bringing me on board and believe we can most definitely find a symbiotic relationship where fans and devs can interact about what works/does not work for them - and I have full faith that valid concerns will be addressed. Now more than ever, we need to celebrate art and show NE and, heck, the world - how much good can come from that. Anyone who knows me personally knows that I think it critically important to see the glass half full vs half empty. Small and negative thoughts can cause major ripples and waves in a community as much as positive ones can. WE get to dictate that, not anyone else, and that is so freaking fire and peak (I’m dangerously exhausting my borrowed Gen Z meter here lol). I invite you to not put down your fellow artists for pumping out artwork, products, and content on the things that brought us all together in the first place. Artistry feeds humanity. Things will work out because they always have, trust. The house may have been built for you, but you ultimately get to decide the home and family you want inside. Take care of your mental health - It’s ok to take a break and recoup…. To close this long essay: My VA work is trivial compared to the artistry I’ve been shown here and it is my BIGGEST FLEX knowing you fine individuals - Every last one of you…. Just please make sure to care for one another and don’t forget the main objective: To protect the flock and place art above all the other noise. Let’s celebrate art ♥️🎉
The irony of NetEase using AI for this year's COA when its story expresses why computers cannot actually "create". The "perfect creations" AI makes are just empty algorithmic clones of mass data combined with random noise. It cannot understand anything beyond surface level.
It's extremely disappointing that Identity V, a game I've come to love for many reasons the past few years is firing artists and replacing them with AI, and encouraging their community and creators to do the same.
I'll never support the use of generative AI in any field.
