Ai bros can’t compete with artists

one person. one pencil that you can get for a couple cents.

They are scared! When will they see that they’re doomed?

[Michael @TheMG3D]

It’s over!

Blender is free to use and learn for making 3D models!

Ai bros can’t believe it

[Tenet of The Spark @TenetOfTheSpark]

We’ve shown how character (era) switching works in combat — but there’s more. The game also features puzzles of varying difficulty that require specific heroes:
🔨Viking = brute force + hammer
🪃Aztec = boomerang skills + parkour moves

“AI made art accessible” is like saying burglary made me having your tv accessible

[Chomba Bupe @ChombaBupe]

Exactly this, OpenAI promised human level intelligent GPT-5 but it is obviously proving to be very difficult so instead they push out style transfer already known to computer vision researchers/engineers to fool the unsuspecting general public that they are making progress.

[Doku // Out of Action @DokuGamesLTD]

AI generated 'art' is slowly removing all feeling of wonder and respect I used to get from viewing artwork online. At this point it shouldn't even be called art anymore.

Anyone calling themselves an 'AI artist' must be joking right?

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently.

I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

We're almost 3 years deep into this AI mess and the most popular stuff is still, "What if I made this popular thing look like another popular thing." Then they run around talking about how Hollywood isn't original anymore and how it's their time to shine.

@GobaDev I distinctly remember this for "take damage for touching lava. Die instantly for touching water"

Details on the Wonder Woman cancellation and closure of Monolith Productions:

▫️ Wonder Woman was going to have a "Nemesis system in reverse" where you would talk to people and befriend them as allies. This was eventually scrapped when it was rebooted.

▫️ WW began production in May/June 2021 but was rebooted in late 2023. The game changed directors and it became a more traditional GoW style action-adventure game.

▫️ Monolith reportedly wasn't interested in making another LOTR game - after their new original IP was cancelled by WB in 2021, Monolith's entire leadership team and many devs quit.

▫️ Monolith was forced to work on Wonder Woman while rebuilding their staff and leadership team at the same time - "an impossible situation."

▫️ Many of the ex-Monolith team formed Cliffhanger Games with EA, and are now working on a new Black Panther game.

▫️ WW was cancelled due to 2024 being a horrible year for WB Games. They lost $200M on Suicide Squad and another $100M on Multiversus and Quidditch: Champions. This + the reboot is what led to the cancellation, closure of the studio, and the ousting of their CEO.

▫️ Monolith devs had no knowledge of the studios closure. They learned about it on Tuesday, shortly before we did.

@mikrokosmostix It me.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

This is hot on the heels of Microsoft's CEO basically admitting AI has yet to generate any value. How's that bubble looking.

[FPSthetics @FPSthetics]

Ultrakill just gets better and better every update and even though it still isn't finished I have little doubt it'll be in the top tier of *the* best FPS games ever when it's finally complete

[Gene Makes Video Games @xergintonic]

@Vialius @IFrostBolt Damn. Satan really cooked with that combo.
