They want you to believe it’s inevitable, rather than a choice they’re making and defending. They want you to think it’s a necessary step in making games, even though we all know it isn’t
Dude clarified and it's grim. This is a mess.
Game devs that I've worked with in the game industry do not scroll Google for hours when they want to "express a base idea" to an artist.
We sit down, or maybe stand, and we talk. We explain, and ask questions. We make references to other things.
And during that conversation, we're riffing and inspiring each other, using the creativity we were hired for.
"Photo-bashing"? His explanation falls apart. Is he suggesting that a non-artist game dev will scroll Google for hours then photo-bash a pic in order to "express a base idea" to an artist? That's not a thing.
Embarrassing. This is embarrassing.
@LarAtLarian If you are using AI to generate ideas to explore, that is using AI in your game. This is duplicitous spin to say otherwise. The entire history of creative industry happened just fine without using AI, there is no need to shoot your game in the foot by using it now.
@LarAtLarian If you use genai, you're already using stolen data and labour by several artists to "explore things". It really doesn't matter how it shows in your final output, you already have wronged many humans in your process. Please reconsider its use.
