What is your overall stance on Generative AI?

This includes content generation - Songs, Art, Voices, Video, Text, Code, etc.

This also includes llm queries, online learning & communication. AI Overview, LLM debugging & brainstorming, auto translate, AI suggestions/editing, etc

[Zane Devon @zanipher]

@EZE3D I have zero interest in consuming any artistic media that is AI generated. The human element is what makes those things worth experiencing.

I do find AI helpful for troubleshooting tech issues. Yesterday I fixed a 20 yr old camera for my son to play with, and AI was a big help.

@ArtStationHQ Wow, this actually sounds like a pretty good step in the right direction

[Zane Devon @zanipher]

@Polygoblin Ugh, sorry to hear this :( I hope you're able to line up something else soon!

When does the bleeding stop for the games industry? Obviously the industry isn't over, but some days it sure feels like it.

I've been out of work for over a year, with no real end in sight. It seems like it just keeps getting worse out there.

@BrentBeshore Whenever I read any CS lewis, I realize that I need to read more CS Lewis.

What a remarkably thoughtful and articulate human being.

@JeremyTate41 Such a great quote.

I got busy with contract work and forgot to share this! Finished the facial likeness rework over the summer on my Indy model.

Some games that shaped me. Slim pickings in the early days because my dad was a graphic designer working from home on an Apple II!

Installing a bigger engine in a vehicle with faulty steering makes a crash MORE likely.

[Jessie Lam _(:3 」∠ ) @axl99]

The only article written by a producer about current AAA game pipelines using genAI I would agree with. Because other veteran artists kept pointing it out for years and no one listened.

What kind of decision making tools will make production cheaper? That isn't genAI or LLMs.

A beautiful balance between soft and hard edges is a huge part of what makes a painting/drawing enjoyable to look at.

AI is terrible at finding this balance.

[Proko @prokotv]

Edges in your art communicate A LOT. But breaking them down makes it easier to understand and use!
