Nice job man, this is a well organized presentation showcasing the current state of AI applications for the industry. As you said it's a personal choice between using or not. While I think the application of AI is beneficial in the short term, I believe it to be detrimental in the long term (for artists who want a long career). I see it like steroids or other PEDs, you'll get jacked in a short amount of time and look good, but it damages the body and creates a dependency. I had the opportunity to talk with Art Director Casey Dockendorf of Redux Games at Lightbox. Him and his team implemented AI in their workflows, but throughout the year they found it was creating more work and slowing them down. I think this anecdote is a great example of the limitiations of AI. These models can only source and rearrange, but it cannot create. Which is why all the images they create start to feel the same. All this to say, using this tech in fear of being left behind will be the cause of falling behind. Alternatively, using this tech as a way to reduce workload: props to the user. For myself, the act of thinking and creation is something I crave and have no desire to offload onto the computer. Again, awesome video man. Got me thinking about my feelings on this subject 🙌🏼
Thanks for your insight man! I have heard from other sources as well that these techniques are being implemented in the industry but I don't know to what effectiveness. I personally agree with what you are saying and really find the creative process sacred and something that I would not like to hand off to AI; I also really like drawing and painting and would like to keep doing that for as long as possible. Using these tools I found myself relying on them for all the thinking and creative part and observed my brain slowly atrophy from lack of usage, making me not want to do any thinking at all even if needed. I will be attentitive on how this whole AI situation evolves and hopefully we won't be fighting Skynet in the next few years. Cheers man, cya soon!
