Hi! I'm a 2D generalist working in gamedev with two best teams out there at #MoaCube with @TomGrochowiak and at @VileMonarch recently learning how to art direct stuff :)

@DarkHado69 @kerissakti That's a good question. Personally as an art director I would appreciate a pitch with mood boards and inspirations rather than AI art. Clearly labeled of course. It would show me the dev is not lazy, but did some research and has passion for the project :)

Received a game pitch deck.
All images were AI-generated.
Wow, thank you for making this an easy decision!
Rejected in less than 2 seconds. 😉👍

@LaurenWalshArt I saw this incredible photo of Mt. Fuji yesterday and the photographer talked about being out in the freezing cold on this clear night to get the perfect shot and I started scanning it for telltale AI mistakes.

I hate it.

[Petey @PeterJCasaey]

@LaurenWalshArt Yeah.. this is super frustrating too when looking for artists to hire. Now I can't trust the legitimacy of any portfolio, and I have to go through each one with a fine toothed comb.

It's fun working with other artists. It's not fun working with ai tech bros.

[Alicia Marie @AliciaMarieBODY]

@LaurenWalshArt True.
Human created illustrations/paintings are buried on search engines.
Social media is CHOCK FULL of people posting AI art with thousands of “wow wonderful” comments - we can see discrepancies bc we follow art but the everyday just person can’t tell the difference.

[Stephan Duq | Bloom @stephanduq]

@LaurenWalshArt I would like to add an additional loss.

The loss of a new experience.

So much AI oversaturates genres, themes, subjects, styles, that used to be more rare to discover. Now we see it everyday, all day long, and it makes us numb to it

[LaurenWalshArt🔜Blizzcon @LaurenWalshArt]

The greatest tragedy of AI is that we lost the ability to just enjoy art the moment we lay eyes on it. For a brief half a second we have to double check, look for signs before we can really enjoy something and that used to be so free for us. We’ve lost that free spark of joy.

A spirited exchange between a Russian ship & a Georgian maintenance ship.

- You Russian?
- Yes.
- We refuse you refueling.
- Who speaks?
- Assistant captain from Georgia. “Russian ship, go fuck yourself”

- But we run on fumes.
- Ok, then row, fucking invaders!

And here's a less pleasant watch. Far right dickheads attacking peaceful protesters.

As a reminder: the head of the ruling party, Jarosław Kaczyński, called for violence to "protect Poland and churches at all cost" in his address a few days ago. He got what he wanted it seems.

Más imágenes de la multitudinaria protesta feminista de esta noche en Varsovia contra las leyes machistas y los ataques fascistas.

I painted a poster (3 backgrounds), feel free to use it to protest against this shit https://t.co/SU9otinJp7

What he did is a crime.

For two days I've been meaning to write about the massive protests taking place in my country over the recent abortion ban, but I still can't find the words.

So instead here's some (pretty amazing) pics and some (pretty grim) read: https://t.co/zzca82LgB9
