Larian CEO Swen Vincke has announced the studio's plans host an ask me anything session about their generative AI use and Divinity's development process.
Do you really think gen ai is going to replace artists? Its just another tool to use. If anything it lowers the level of entry. You dont need to be a master to produce quailty art. You dont need burn the midnight oil to produce new art with changes the director requested…
Its always the same argument when new technology arrives. Power looms replaced weavers. Did those jobs disappeared? No, it went on to created a booming textile industry. But it didnt stop the hand weavers trying to burn down the textile factories in defiance.
You will never win fighting against technology. You will only harm yourself by not embracing progression. If you want something to fight, fight against the ones that own the automations.
There comes an environmental limit, though, and computers themselves may have already been it without us realizing it, but AI use only hastens our demise: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59966675
Using scraped data to train AI models was never seen as theft before the recent media campaign.
Labeling it as such won’t stop AI, it will just let aggregation websites like Reddit and Deviant Art set the entry price. Any artist that uploads his work on the net has already signed his rights away when it comes to this.
It’s even worse when you get into music gen (5 corps own all the data) and video gen (Hollywood and YouTube). Individuals are simply not getting a piece of the pie no matter what happens.
I don’t remember Wacom scraping the internet and stealing artists’ entire portfolios in order to power their tablets.
I don’t recall anyone’s job being replaced by a drawing tablet.

Thats an entirely seperate issue. If we invested in clean enegry 40 years ago, then there would be far less impact.
Oh no, the printing press is bad news! Someone think of the poor scribes!
What a fucking stupid analogy
Oh no, this photography invention is going to ruin the portrait industry!
Oh no your analogies are trash!
If you say so. Technophobe.
