@yuno96057995@KimJungGiUS@I_IGOYA Some people left the platform, like to BlueSky. But I don't think it is much better there. In the end, does it really matter from what this was traced from? A photo from Pinterest or AI? If something was needed to be acknowledged, It had to be done 25 years ago.
@yuno96057995 They don't. For art consumers in masses, it doesn't matter how an image was made. It is an arrangement of pixels that make you feel something. Whether it was from imagination, like @KimJungGiUS or just straight AI output like @I_IGOYA.
@judacris The early furry character designs are rather spontaneous and focusless. The use of the animals was a way to cut corners and the outcomes of the design decisions made on a larger scale. Your example is the developers using the brand recognition.
Indie game dev leans into adult content, horror or nostalgia because those are easy universal feelings. The pixel art or low poly — because it is faster to make while retaining artistic integrity.
@DaveRapoza I can see someone not using AI for personal stuff out of principle. But the $$$ companies not using AI to brute force concept art? When they have been fostering the whole photo-bashing thing from the start?
@DaveRapoza It is like going to a major game studio and saying stuff like, "Guys, from this day onward nobody is allowed to use Google Images or Pinterest because of copyrights." When a kiddo on the mom's tablet can trace AI and get 20k likes on Twitter.
