basically all jobs on earth will be like being a McDonald cashier or Walmart greeter.
we outsourced our critical thinking and all we got in the end is a soul crushing job
forcing a bird to swim and fish to fly is the most devastating thing to force on people.
handcraft is now one of the best payed jobs, cuz nobody want to do it and everybody needs one
Anyone with a brain would realize that companies don't mind ripping off other artists as long as they can do it to create a profit! Corporations are salivating believing they have a solution to get rid of paying the creatives and garner more profits for themselves. Eventually, this will cause their collapse! Nothing new will be created and it will all become a rehash of what has already been done!
Eventually they will understand!
@@Prajwal____ One hopes so, but I know how greed tends to take over!
AI does not regurgitate the training data as is but mixes it up according to the prompt to create the request image. That means it can technically produce infinite combinations of the billions of images it has seen. A human lifetime will not be enough for someone to sit in front of MidJourney and make the valid claim that they have seen it all. Also, These technologies are at their beginning and are improving very fast so I wouldn't bet on them reaching their limits.
@@Kevin-jc1fx True, but it creates nothing truly original. It is based on things others have done and it is going to be used against the average man sooner rather than later! Hell, Levi's has already switched to computer-generated models for their clothing and has gotten rid of their real models! This will be the final dissolution of our society if it continues at this pace!
It's mean they wil just repeat making the same product. Yeah just "same mass product" not new one.
I don't understand how Ai in the creative field is being focused so much on the prompting and the culture of "doing nothing and get something" while it could be developed for so much better purposes such as automating repetitive processes like retopology in 3d or just, for the 2d part, an ai that would automatically color your character, instead of creating the whole character based on the combination of millions of others... I mean, an Ai that actually understands drawing and can help you achieve faster exactly what you picture in your brain, not some stupid mixture of other artists work. If the ai was focused on things like this, it would be even better as it would still be a huge time saver while leaving the creative process for humans.
That is so very true. I, as an ex 3D artist, got bored of the repeating part of 3D creation (UVs and retop mainly). AI could have been sooooo beneficial. It's crazy to see that all the efforts are going to the prompt market which is not even remotly fun for artist who can never end up exactly with what they had in their mind...
All artists study photographs and other artist's works, whether it be old masters or browsing through Artstation and try to find ideas or even trace/replicate the artwork without artist's consent. AI also learn art that way too. AI pick out the features from the piece, not copying the whole file, then process it and store into database aka its brain. Similar to how artist took another artwork and try to outline all the shapes, measure the proportion, and model the value rather than copy down inch by inch. These AI are mimicking human's learning habit basically.
It's clear what AI is trying to replace the artist not being artist's assistant, so you have to brace for it whether you like it or not. IMO, I find most complains around this subject very ironic, since all the automations that we have in our daily lives were the one that caused extinction of many labor jobs.
For example, you would prefer to buy one-time retopology software over constantly hiring another low-income guy to do the repetitive retopology task, since it's whole lot cheaper. That low-income guy was one of those labor workers who lost his job to the machine. His net income is now zero, and he is forced to adapt or die. In the same manner, many clients would prefer to buy one-time creative AI artist over constantly hiring artist to the creative job. So, artists are now forced to adapt to this change.
I mean, if it's unethical for AI to invade the creative jobs then it should've also been unethical for machines to invade labor jobs. Both parties did their best for perfect products, one physically and another mentality.
@@qull3840 Don't get me wrong I didn't say it was unethical for ai to be part of the creative field, I just expressed how disappointed I was in the way it is going, towards prompting instead of more profound, useful tools that could actually help. Prompting doesn't make you an artist or an "ai artist", it makes you a commissioner and that's it. You just confirmed what I said in the first place. Technology has always been focused on replacing labor tasks and repetitive processes. Creation and art isn't a labor task nor a repetitive process, retopology is, so why create an ai that does everything? Why would you give up on your creativity? Let the ai do the retopology and not the creative part. Retopology is just an example among thousands of repetitive tasks in the art industry that could be replaced by ai. Also what you described in your first sentence is agi, for the moment we're still in the era of ai and it is not working like a human brain at all.
UV and Retopology are rather difficult to replace with AI. There is still automatic retopology, but it is not used much. Background assets are often used. However, in important character assets, the quality and results are not good. No matter how developed it is, in the end, that part has to go through human post-processing. There is no choice. UV and retopology are more creative and purposeful than you think. However, since there are so many similar parts, such as humanoid characters, it is easy to replace modeling or textures with AI. Eventually, at the end, humans will correct the mistakes made by the AI. It will mainly be the retopology and UV parts.
… see this are the types of comments that get me going… WHY are people sucking coorps so hard? Do you realize that those jobs are usually entry levels in order for you to make contacts, build relationships, and learn? It’s like an internship? What it’s quite ironic for me, is that you’re ok with something that was inherently created to be a form of human expression, being generated in a push of a button. The lack of empathy for those who took the time to learn proportions, shading, lighting, composition to find a voice of their own and being able to achieve something they’re proud on. Like a track and field runner working hard to go to state championship to be competing against the guy with the scooter. It’s still a race. And he is pressing buttons. 😂 But “AI is art”
But let’s see what it takes to make great manga panels shall we? “as a Sui Ishida style, black and white Japanese traditional manga comic sketch drawing, A dark short haired femenine woman wearing a plain white uniform as a volleyball player performing a powerful serve on a match , special effects, full length wide body shot, 4k, volleyball field background, seed” yeah… I see what you mean… 😂 why would you need to know anything about special effects, drawing skills when you can literally throw words. I love the part when people blatantly put the artist names. It’s my favorite. But please tell me more about how wonderful ai is.
The government needs to step in on a serious level for the artists work that was built upon the even created any Ai art generators like Midjourney and others. Its sad that any artists are being used again, as an artist I hope art dies as a profession because its over as a passion/feed your family type of deal.
the government never makes things better and why? ai does not violate copyright unless prompted to but we wouldn't sue photoshop because someone used it for nefarious reasons, ai is a tool. the person in the video is the same as the people who thought drawing tablets would destroy the art economy because people wont buy art supplies and that art will lose its soul because it doesn't take as much technique.
Government never cares about artists, all those tax incentive in VFX industry already turned artists into modern skillful slaves.
@@stannisthemannis8694L take. People did think digital drawing would get rid of regular art in the same way but this is literally just you not making any decisions in the art itself. It’s like going to the super Parker picking an exact carrot you like and calling yourself an artist - it’s becoming that simple. So yes there is little skill involved.
This is exactly what's been happening to blue collar workers for the last century. Back before industrialization, blue collar workers took several years of apprenticeship to become experts at their fields. Whether it's "handmade" cloths or blacksmithing or paper making. Then automation came, and all of that apprenticeship system was abolished in favor of pure automation. Now blue collar workers simply "direct" the machine manufacturing process.
I believe we're seeing the same phenomenon here, but for white collar workers. As the automation evolves, we no longer need to "handmake" our products, such as creative writing, or drawing, or sculpting. We simply "direct" the creative process to achieve the final result we want. Of course, latent diffusion model still have long way to go. I'm not really positive with prompt system, because it lacks a lot of control. Perhaps, there'll be better interface for automation in the near future.
PS: For reference, in medieval period, it took 7 years to become a master blacksmith. Then it took 1-2 days to make a cheap sword but more than a week or more for high quality sword. In Japan, it took a year to make one katana. I can see correlation between that and 3D art which can take 5+ years to master. Now with help of machine, we don't to invest in years of training anymore. Just to cap this off, nowadays swords are made in less 6 hours.
White collar jobs too, doctors and lawyers are getting replaced by AI in some areas. CEOs will be replaced too once a (broad)AI is out that can employ other (narrow)AI dynamically as needed to create and run a business idea. What one think won't be replaced by AI will be the very thing that AI scientist are working to replace because that is where the challenge lies not in packing boxes or stitching clothes. The best way to speed up AI development is to raise minimum wages so companies will be forced to use AI/robots.
Tools like ControlNet have made diffusion models a lot more easy to steer but all those are still at their beginning. There are already stunning results from text-to-video models too. A few years from now, the progress will be mind blowing. I don't see a way for this to be stopped. Everyone should try and figure out where they can fit in that context because proper regulation will not be guaranteed.
That is good analogy. Automated process is more efficient(in most cases) but handmade product is much better quality. What I believe we will see is AI being used as mass production tool and artists with passion will switch more into one time/comission type of making products.
@@dexterdexter7923 I disagree with that deduction, because the automation in previous century WAS the mass production tool that you mentioned. So lot of white collar workers can get away with selling their handmade high quality "One time/commission type" product (i.e. web developer, artist, 3D modeler, musician, film director, etc.)
The AI we have now is not only mass production tool but also producer of "one time/commission type" product. This was why ChatGPT, Latent diffusion, AlphaGO, etc. are so revolutionary. They not only mass produce but also create unique product for each result they spit out. Whether it be a new song, writings, art, website, or even new app. All are tailored made according to user's input or prompt.
PS: This was why a lot of white collar workers are in panic right now. Especially the newly graduated students who spent a quarter of their life to pursue career which are being eclipsed by AI.
Thanks for the video. Not everyone is moving to ai and the necessity of 3D artists isn’t going anywhere. For starters let’s be real here, the MASS MAJORITY of successful companies aren’t switching to ai because it would trigger a trend of class action lawsuits for theft. I know things seem to be dark but in all honesty ai isn’t taking over the industry the way people think it is. There was a similar trend in music mixing and mastering and for a few years everyone thought that mixing and mastering would be taken over by ai… Mastering and mixing engineers are STILL in high demand and the ai platforms aren’t dominating anything lol. My advice? Stop allowing a computer or someone else’s greed to dictate your future. Yes this person had a bad experience at the tiny company he was working for. But he has to decide if he is going to just give up or move forward. Why let someone else’s decisions take away your passion and joy for something. I understand his pain but he could get a job else where or even do his own thing. But to just buy a casket and say goodbye is not the solution at all. Anything worth doing will have difficulties.
His situation does not reflect what going on everywhere. Not even remotely close. I understand that people are afraid but if you consume a lot of content that is only talking about how ai is “going to take over the creative industry” (which it won’t) then it will become a self-fulfilling prophesy for you. Let’s face reality everyone. Big studios are not replacing people with only ai because you don’t have complete control over the resulting asset. In this life we have two choice we can either lay down and die because a bucket of bolts can make an image based on a bunch of content it stole or we can choose to move forward. What ai HAS done is forced us to become better at our craft. I’m a computer program and I KNOW ai isn’t taking over. It’s just getting a lot of publicity. I’m also a 3D artist and I always have work. Not all companies are evil and focused on money. Thats an extremely biased statement that just isn’t true. And everyone here is better than that. The narrator of the video use the word hope several times in the video. Instead of condemning the planets population by making statements as though we know everyone’s mind and heart perhaps we should just be hopeful too. To think that everyone is only focused on money is discrimination. Haven’t we seen enough of that over the years? Let’s choose to have hope. There is a place for ai to handle some tasks for artists. I would love a procedural ai node that could handle complex re topology for me and provide CAD level precision. That would make me a better artist. The future isn’t dark so we all should stop making it that way or assuming that the creative industry will get that way when none of us are in the future. I hope everyone has a good weekend and finds a reason to have hope because being negative and only thinking the worst is easy. I would rather not let a bunch of 1s and 0s not dictate my future. Because my future is super bright. Adversity is the gatekeeper to innovation. But the choice is yours. If you want to be a 3D artist then be one and don’t let anything stop you.
Lol. What's your source? Your dreams? XD
How do you feel about what's happened in china?
I agree (today for myself and maybe I'm wrong for a lot of other people and the future) because at the core. as unfair as it can be, it has always been about adapting and finding a niche or an individual way to survive on this planet. On the surface it's different, from the beginning on I had the feeling that ai generators don't hand over much control to us artists and I think it is already changing. + At the moment we witness a new technology rising without exactly knowing where it's going to lead. We can assume that there will be a whole ai generated entertainment bubble that is created by just pushing merely a button but still humans are the customers and they like humans doing amazing things. We much more need to show this amazing handmade work and our skills and ability of how we use ai to enhance the quality of our work so people can see, appreciate and pay for it.
you can now spend 1,5 weeks on modeling the details.
Just give 3d artists some AI retopology tool which will be creating lowpoly and UVs instead of us)
I personally already use a lot of AI tools and they are awesome in case you need to generate PBR material from single image or make nice and cool looking model from protogrammetry when customer send you it with 1k textures but wants it to be 4k) then you can extremely easy make it look great.
Ministry of flat is essentially machine learning UV unwrapping and it has removed 90% of the work from making UVs highly reccomend it.
@@qaztim11 thank you, I'll give it a try)
should i work on my portfolio ?. Im getting close to end my career (3 exams left )im currently an artist but i know how to code in c++ and c# but for me it would be so heartbreaking if i cant find anything related to 3D and forced to do code which i hate with passion. This is all so chaotic right now i dont know what to do.
Same here bro what are u doing now
Good video format! I hope there is more on future
I personally believe some of these ai tools are better suited for an artist. The majority of ai slop I’ve seen just doesn’t invoke anything to the viewer except how pretty it looks. The prompters can’t explained what they’ve generated because nothing was expressed onto the image but the words they gave the machine in its attempt to interpret what the user wants.
It may be a machine learning tool but it’s still a tool, better suited for people who can wield it properly.
I feel like the title of this video and the title of the Reddit post are saying quite different things..?
well its not. the title is the reddit post and the video responds to it
@@stannisthemannis8694 They are different, although similar.
yes time is money but its not everything. having happy creative people working on your project is also a thing thats going to affect it. personally if the bar is as fast and as cheap as possible well thats not a place with a high standard its more a sweatshop mentality. the only thing you can do is find a place to work thats not just about the money grabbing but actually creating fun engaging and creative work that will ALSO do well in the market place with a nice margin.
the indie on the shoestring i maybe can see needing to cut every corner, maybe but even then if your an indie and only about the money you wont last long that route takes passion and desire and perseverance not just the chase to brutal efficiency. work for someone with a bigger perspective i suggest.
no one knows what ai's true impact will be anyone telling you at this moment is full of sh@#$%t!
At the end of the day, we're paid money to fulfill other people's creative dreams, not our own.
This situation sucks, but what comes next is going to suck even more. Because the AI will be able to generate high quality 3d models of anything, with perfect textures and topology, (if texturing and mesh topology as it exists now will even be relevant in a few years). It's just a matter of time. And it won't be 10 years. It probably won't even be 2.
This means that there's either going to be a vast reduction in 3d art jobs, as existing studio's consolidate artists into a few AI art director's working under a Lead artist, or there's going to be a vast scope increase across AAA studios as they're able to make alot more for a lot less.
Either way, the art process as it exists now will be obsolete. So either stay on top emerging technologies and form, shape, light, and composition as those will always be valuable skills, or start learning secondary skills, like woodworking, or carpentry.
AI art is coming. After the disruption is done, there will be new jobs that we can't really imagine right now, in the same way no one going through the industrial revolution or Great Depression could have imagined the job of "Tv Producer", because TV's didn't exist. But it's going to be a long couple of years, so prepare now. This is just the start.
How do you use midjourney to make games?
I think thats just the way things will be from now on. Not much to be done. It reminds me how Disney fired one of their creators when he tried to introduce 3D in to their work flow, because that would mean "eliminate the work of inbetweeners in animation". Well, that didnot stopped the technology at all. No more big movies in 2d 🙄🙄
actually good comparison. Its time to jump onto the train
Same thing is happening at my mobile games job.
What's the background music?
Yore advice is good to look for another field, but you ignored an important fact, what is the field that AI can't replace so can we move to it
When you say that I lost my job, I did not understand that artificial intelligence creates 2D images, not 3D?? Maya software at that time. blender Rhino and...... in the company and close it??
1:32 how does “rig and animate a character from MJ” even work?! There’s no continuity or pose estimation. That’s a v suspect workflow and post.
I didn't understand that either and would like to know how that is possible.
"No to AI image generation"
Unfortunately, no one is asking our opinion.
Unfortunately, no one is asking our opinion.
@@Kevin-jc1fx I don't have the need for anyone to ask, I still have the right to state my opinion and also to make a fool of myself when necessary.
@@anubismacc8165 That's true, we all have freedom of speech, even if no one listens. 😂
OpenAI Ceo was in congress recently and said that AI research should be urgently regulated. He sounded more like "let's keep others from advancing too fast so that we stay ahead". MidJourney is far ahead for now but Dall-e keeps improving. While talking about regulations, he didn't seem concerned about artists rights unfortunately. We will see how it unfolds
Good luck.
I am not sure what to make of the post, it’s Redit. I just know on the net you usually only get a 1/4 of the story and not the full story. Especially on Redit.
I will give my opinion on Ai. I seen the switch from analog to digital with photoshop first came out, people were saying the same thing until artists adapted. People are still making traditional art. I think people are so afraid of Ai because it is moving in a pace like no other, and people haven’t learned how the best to use it yet.
Ai generated work should never be your end piece, it should be a tool of inspiration, a starting point. You can as I am learning to do, create your own dataset with your personal work, and work off it. But it’s hard to keep up with this light speed rate of this technology.
That’s my two cents though. Cheers…
AI will be inspired by your human creation to create highly inspired AI creation.
@@nsevv true some will look at it that way, some will definitely use it that way. Until people start adapting toward the potential of Ai has and understanding generative Ai’s ethical crossroads we are in, people will lose from it.
AI image generator can be several things rolled into 1 package: a search engine (used in conjunction with something like Pinterest), a mass concept art generator (that can generate hundreds of ideas per day), a render engine (no more tedious meticulous shading, through touching up still needed), a converter (it can convert a finished art piece into a different render style, 3d art into 2d or 2d sketch into 3d looking image for example)
If us humans already looked at and consumed information similarly to this technology and used it as inspiration for our own art styles then aren't we also just very inconsistent scrapers as well? Everyone has a style or styles that we tend to gravitate towards at the end of the day. And even with the aid of tools like backwards engineering the perspective to be used in 3D to help with modeling the backgrounds for an illustration we're still subjecting these techniques to the specific art styles we're attempting to draw or paint.
The proper way to create an illustration anyways is to do some studies first and then apply the learned knowledge to the new piece you're working on. All this does is skip the studies part and let's you peek into the future to see how it should look. It seems the main problem is frankly the not so moral way these libraries were attained (Even though most art was under public law) as well as us humans losing an ability that for a lot of people was extremely validating.
If you're an artist that had a fanbase then even as of 2023 I still see plenty artists earning pretty well from their patreons as well as other commissions. The main hit seems to have come from industry art specifically the illustration side of things. With jobs going down as far as %70. This is due to certain concept art requiring very specific designs that require the human touch ones the "Random" button that is AI seems to not cut quite cut it from multiple angles.
There is also a pretty good chance that most concept artists were already 3D modelers anyways to some degree. If you're familiar with the advances in AI for the 3D field you'll know that in general creating a model from text to image is possible but only at organic levels and not complex hard surface due to the sheer amount of subdivision needed in the model to resemble the form. The retopo nearly always ruins the cleanliness of hardsurface if done at an automatic level. meaning manual retopo and uv unwrapping is still very difficult for AI in which case it's best to model still from scratch correctly these hard surfaces instead.
On the VFX side most AI advancements have to do with camera tracking , mocap or facial deepfaking as well as compositing. For some reason there is still a really massive hole in the process of creating successful proper working particles systems. Since these workflows vary widely from studio to studio and considerably alter the documented methods. Simulations remain relatively untouched by full AI automation even on the more basic maths and pseudo programming involved with it like VEX.
Oddly enough if you continue up the ladder still on to the programming side of things which involve more relatively well documented languages like python or C++ border on full automation. Now anyone with an IDE can just work in tandem with AI to achieve results and learn 10 times faster than ever before , even if you've never programmed something similar to what you're doing.
Way at the front end of academia all math degrees and compsci are threatened as well. Seems the only way to stay safe for longer is to know obscure knowledges that AI simply cannot find its way on to. Though it's only a matter of time before it starts leaking from in house studio staff giving away context info for it or the actual studios signing specialized learning monitoring agreements with OpenAi in which every action is studied and documented by the AI. Simply put there is no hiding from this tech.
THEY TOOK YERR JAWB!!
business meets creativity. classic age old issue. a business operates on the lowest cost necessary to turnover the largest amount of profit. if your hands and scultping and creativity get in the way of that then the story we were just told is unfolded. if what you do can be done by ai its just a matter of whether someone has figured out how to do that yet or not. if it happens to you just add fuel to the fire, find other industries you can screw over the same - this is the sentiment of hustle culture. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES right? even if it means selling out, selling your soul or selling your life force. The deal has already been made its just a matter of time now.
if rockstar could get ai to do all the work and they eneded nobody on the floor then they would. at the end f the day everything is just a cost benefit analysis. welcome to the new world!
What's the game at 5:38?
What is the first game playing in the background?

How we know this is not fake?
a little sceptical because i feel the ai tools related to his field of work would of been in his use for a good while, like from the start and he'd already be very familiar with them and would not be equating it with stealing other peoples art, any more than a writer using the alphabet would be apologizing for making sentences using other peoples words.
also he's using midjourney instead of having installed stable diffusion ? nah.
AI is tool for 3D artist.
I will do 3d because I love doing it.
I know most people don't want to hear this, but here goes:
That's an idealistic answer. Not everyone can make it in the field, and people need to make hard decisions to survive. A lot of people don't get to choose what they want to do simply because they want to do it, as you grow older you'll understand. I'm sure a lot of people wanted to become something else at one point in their lives, but they are here now.
If you're not looking to get paid, then it's never gonna be a problem. In other words, as a hobbyist, it's not gonna be a problem. In fact, these AI tools can only add and not take away from a hobbyist. People who need to put food on the table need to think about it and cannot be idealists.
If you're just starting out and you do want this as a career, not as a hobby, then think carefully. Some jobs are just gone for good, and others will follow. Choosing to become a concept artist at such a time is just plain stupid, for example.
This is an overly optimistic view. Many people get into the field because the love the process and push towards mastery. Drawing is much more engaging than using prompts. Prompts turn something artistic and engaging into something that feels like homework. It's like if you like woodworking and carpentry and turn into a guy that just loads up files into a CNC rig and places the wood in the slab...then hit's a button.
This is only answer, my friend
@@sp4cedo9 How is it even you doing 3D though if all you do is use a prompt library? When I order food at the drive through, it doesn't make me the cook.

Midjourney produces stereotypical and unimaginative images, eventually people will realise that using it traps them in a distinctly finite realm of weird but still predictable content? e.g. Has anyone managed to use Midjourney to produce a decent image of _an octopus in a space suit fixing a satellite in orbit?_ Not as far as I know, and the reason is because it is an original concept that had not been previously created by a genuinely imaginative artist, and these AI tools are innumerate and can't work out how many tentacles an octopus should have, or how to modify a space suit design to fit an octopus, yet you can see the image in your mind's eye right now.
True, tried some prompts, all look the same, same style background, layout, it's uninteresting
@@donkeykong6626 Yep and they all have similar flaws too.
Some of the most imaginative car designs I've ever seen have come from Midjourney.
@@seankelly5318 They are and only ever will be recombinations of existing images, so if they did not train the AI on some "stolen" artwork or photo of a given tagged topic then you will never be able to create variations on it. This is literally how these systems work at the coding and data level.
@@DanielSMatthews This is what most designers do for a living, combine what they see into new designs. It's how imaginatively they are combined what is fresh.
Good bye world I stand no longer with you
Best job for 3D professionals

Exactly as I do
Please Elaborate :)
A.I will probably be able to build 3D at the level of 2D within the next few years. There is already generators making stuff comparable to PS2 graphics. I mean photogrammetry is already A.I and can make insane models as proved by Unreal + Quixel. Eventually it won't require users to take detailed pictures as it will just use all the images on the net to do it.
The post sounds fake. Too many people and companies preached about not using AI for a studio to use Midjourney.
A matter of time.
Abruti.
A.I killed art.
Listen man. Making games is all about the result, and NOT about the journey. So it makes 100% sense to use ai art if it can speed up the production. It’s as simple as that really.
Artists need to learn how to use ai art as a tool, and not see it as competition. Get it i to your workflow, and you will produce good content much faster..
It makes absolute no sense to spend days or weeks on making concept art that an ai can do in seconds.. Use it as a tool, and then fine tune it with your skills afterward, to reach the desired result..
Making art for the love of the process, is something you can do at home as a hobby, or if you have your own business.. A production company is interested in the result, and not the progress.
I have worked in the gaming industry (also AAA) for 20+ years now. And ai art is here to stay, and it makes 100% sense to me. There’s SO much time to save. And I have seen ai art which is much better than what some artists with high salaries in the AAA business can produce.
It’s here to stay, we just have to learn how to implement it into our workflow.
you’re right, AI isn’t a problem. Ppl like you is.

@@arturasba7387 What do you mean?
@@reeanimationgaming1034 you value only the end product and ignore the processes that allow it to come into being. If you allowed yourself to doubt for a moment that AI is not "holy progress" (if it is progress at all) justifying the genocide of creative people jobs (concept artists, etc), then you wouldn't sound like a blind man teaching about color theory.
I am a hard surface 3D artist...do I still have a year of work left in me? I can't believe I'm asking this.
BOYCOTT
In some countries truck drivers make more money than doctors. So work as a truck driver and retire soon after that make 3d art for yourself until death.
The truth is we just don't know 😂
When you say that I lost my job, I did not understand that artificial intelligence creates 2D images, not 3D?? at that time. blender Rhino maya 3dmax ................ in the company and close it??
You can customize your output with AI using specific filters and using your own data set from your art you have created for the world you have build including backgrounds, mood boards and character sheets. For small indie studios and big companies this will be the nature of the business. I understand his point of view but he is using digital tools to automate his creative process as an artist so he is not really creating anything physical as a traditional artist.
If he is mad he has to look at the traditional tools and the number of people that lost their jobs when allot of the business switched from analog to digital. The artist is mad over nothing because he should either create his own IP or learn how to use the AI and incorporated his process to automate it further if he doesn't then he is not advancing his learning. He should move on because when you work for people is is all about productivity and innovation.
People with the doom and gloom attitude in reference to AI must understand the AI has been around for more than 50 years and media/film has been promoting AI for almost 100 years. So people especially creatives that didn't see this coming was just living with their head in the sand.
Lastly the ethical debate is one in every industry since the beginning of people work for someone. If there is a way to do something for profit faster and cheaper it will be done by individuals or corporations. It is the nature of things because you can't nurture good will unless it is built into the individual or business. People been faking/cheating their way to the top and it will not stop with AI. People right now are too emotional about this and are not looking at things historically or doing their research on this. Otherwise if they did they would have a different opinion on this versus reacting to something that should have had action on since the invention of the computer coding.
if hes doom and gloom your a bit too bullish imho. reality is always somewhere in-between.

This artist should consider transitioning to a company specializing in 3D games. They will still have to deal with AI because it's an invaluable tool, but it won't completely supersede their work yet.
AI has taken a foothold in the 2D digital space, much like the revolutions brought by photography and computer graphics in their times. Sadly, the gears of business and technology march on without pause. Any company will embrace this shift to AI as profit remains the key driver for business and anything that slows it is just in the way.
Also, there's a misconception that AI merely scrapes others' art to generate its own. This perspective might stem from discomfort or fear of a computer emulating what we, as artists, often consider magical or unique to artists. However, AI's approach isn't fundamentally different than artists throughout history who learned and grew by sketching works of their predecessors. Artists like Michelangelo, Rodin, and Picasso developed their unique styles by studying and interpreting the works of those before them.
I'm a 3D artist and I used midjourney to sharpen my 3D craft. those not adapting to new tech will be left behind, that's just how it is and will be.
PS: nvidia is recruiting 3d artist and animators to develop something big, and you know nvidia not gonna make 3d film or game ^^
If only this luddite would known how many jobs were lost due to invention of excavator and combine harvester.
and the pen, phone and laptops.
A ton were created though after. You need tons of people to make and service them. The problem with A.I tools is you need SIGNIFICANTLY less people in that field as the A.I can start to be used in the process of building itself and servicing itself.
There was no property theft behind those inventions. A.I companies are stealing the images of thousands of artists for their own benefit. That´s intellectual property theft
i have created an AI channel ( Frightmares) and all of my images is created by AI...and my views is growing very fast. thanks to AI... it is fast and great tool for new generation...
I wont be partaking in any "art" made by AI, and I know there's many like me that feel the same way. If human hands and creativity haven't touched the end result then its a meaningless shite burger of a product in my eyes and unfortunately I'll have to wave goodbye to something I loved.
Trees and Mountains are beautiful work of art created by nature.
