It's like boomers trying to understand what the internet even is. I'm embarrassed reading these discord comments
In order to get a full perspective of ai discussion, we have to go back to the anons at 4chan.It's like boomers trying to understand what the internet even is. I'm embarrassed reading these discord comments
it's impressive just how low the computer literacy (a word tainted by "media literacy" tumblr faggots) of the usual web artist is today. 30, 25 years ago it wasn't unusual for them to at least know their way around a computer without much hassle, specially when it comes to art software. now they believe as much as ai skitzos do that the computer is alive and will take away everyone's jobs, and fight back by doing esoteric bullshit and buying snake oil that has virtually no effect on anything.It's like boomers trying to understand what the internet even is.

If there is a utility you want to find for programming, chances are you'd find an open-source project that already exists, with at least one or two people supporting it. This is not the case for many creative projects outside of Blender or Krita, I have a hard time finding a decent open-source alternative to many adobe products, they are functional but there is very little interest in making it a proper competitor to proprietary software.it's impressive just how low the computer literacy (a word tainted by "media literacy" tumblr faggots) of the usual web artist is today. 30, 25 years ago it wasn't unusual for them to at least know their way around a computer without much hassle, specially when it comes to art software. now they believe as much as ai skitzos do that the computer is alive and will take away everyone's jobs, and fight back by doing esoteric bullshit and buying snake oil that has virtually no effect on anything.
3d is a lot more technical than it is artistic and I'm surprised ai is relatively underdeveloped here. I'm already getting chat gpt to write great rig scripts for me and more skilled people than I can probably do a lot more with it. it's already easy enough to replicate a 3d style with image/video generators, but once these programs can figure out optimized UVs and topology then game artists are done. AAA does not give a single fuck about those asshats, especially when all they do is bitch and moan about everything. will be a boon to solo devs though. although it's only a matter of time before the entire pipeline gets automated and we get flooded with fully slopped projects. probably gonna be mostly coomer games toohttps://youtube.com/watch?v=K597aNilm3c
I found this interesting video online
I heard there's like whole types of ai whose sole purpose is to create optimized shapes for certain items.AI is literally Hitler: A video essay

to be fair, I'm pretty sure the "AI" used to create hyper-optimized shapes like the whats shown above are fundamentally different from the neural networks used in AI art, chatbots, etc. Computer-generated design has been around for quite a while, long before ChatGPT and its derivatives really took off. its comparing apples to oranges in terms of difference.I heard there's like whole types of ai whose sole purpose is to create optimized shapes for certain items.
Look at this freaky-looking rocket nozzle
I don't think the anti-ai crowd would care. For them, ai is ai, no matter what kind of ai they are. It's pretty unlikely for me but it's possible that a game will implement npcs with advanced ai (as in, the algorithm that dictactes how the npcs acts and reacts to its surroundings. Basically giving the enemies that fights you their behaviour and attacks) and there's going to be some anti-ai activists who demands the devs to "STOP USING AI ITS BAD GO PICK UP A PENCIL".to be fair, I'm pretty sure the "AI" used to create hyper-optimized shapes like the whats shown above are fundamentally different from the neural networks used in AI art, chatbots, etc.
Even that phrase carries connotations. "Large language model" is the most accurate name being used.AI should be called called Automated Problem Solving or something to that effect.

I want to train an AI on comments like these and make a funny anti-AI bot
Steve Mould, science youtuber, made a video using generative AI to make some fancy optical illusions.
Of course, hes actually KILLING ARTISTS:

Jesus he sounds like AI himself. Every word of everything he says you can predict from the previous word. Like even trying to actively listen to it, it just washes right over you, as if none of the words have any meaning. It's all grift...he knows he can get engagement with this so he keeps it up.https://youtube.com/watch?v=G-mOcWI0WMIThis man just keeps going on and on.
It's less that the term isn't accurate (because it is if you're not psychotic) and more that the word intelligence being included makes normies (meaning people not developing it or with deep knowledge of how it works) assume it's autonomous and sentient and tAkIng oUr jObs. That's why I switched to just calling it LLMs when it's text based. I still say AI art though, not sure what a proper term for that is.I actually think the term AI is just fine. Image/art creation and language use are both things that require intelligence to do. Artificial Intelligence simply means a simulated, man-made form of intelligence. Basic NPC ai in games is even AI, since it's an attempt to crudely simulate intelligence.
Sci-fi has just made everyone think AI only means sentient computers.
