What an absolutely awful article. Are we at the point where the most liberally minded people online are deciding what is and isn’t art? Just wondering if I should check that off on my dumb as fuck world bingo card.

Nah this is just the next iteration of luddites, people seeing that technology is making them redundant and as a result screaming cold-blooded murder. It’s not a process, it’s a craft. And you can’t replace that... except of course you can hence why already there are many digital art programs that automate more…

As someone who has been a professional artist for close to 15 years now I can say that I am not worried at all over AI replacing me anytime soon.
This is gonna be a repeat of when automation became a thing. The way we work will change and new skills and jobs are being created in the process.

Yes there is a lot of…

That is genuinely refreshing to hear. It has occurred to me, the significance of this tool for people who struggle with physical challenges that would impede them from creating art in the traditional way. I am very happy for you! I really can’t wait to hear what many others who share similar difficulties make of this…

As someone with dysgraphia (I cannot write with a pen, or draw/paint for more than 5 minutes at a time without getting crippling pain in my hands), I have struggled my entire life with the desire to draw and create art, and being unable to actually learn it as a skill. The last few months has been a revelation for me,…

“Machines don’t make art. They’re machines”

“Machines don’t make art. They’re machines!”

I’ve always admired the work that goes into creating them (both illustrations and photos), and I think the average person has too, which is why so many have become memes over the years.

You’re very loud and one-note in your indiscriminate condemnation of AI art. Which in some ways, makes it cathartic to know that AI art is here to stay. It is a bigger technological evolution than going from pen and paper to digital was for art.

I just watched a pro-AI video from Marques Brownlee (yes, he has concerns about crediting, too, but overall his video is AI Positive) so I think the ship has sailed for trying to stop AI art from growing.

an artist isn’t the style or product they output, its the creativity they bring to the table. AI generated art literally cannot replace that.

And if he does, so what? It’s his vision with the company, and he even admitted to being the problem. Not a Zuck rider but hey that’s more than Elon would do. This is literally just the nature of rising and falling businesses.

I mean... many of those people only had those jobs because he took a risk on the Metaverse.... and... he’s not entirely wrong to point out all the things, largely outside his control, that are impacting a lot of businesses right now.

$4,000 sounds more like what you would get for an extended cameo, so it kind of implies they had no plans to continue with Taylor as the main VA regardless, presumably making her one of the variant Bayonettas as a reference instead of the main character. Hale DEFINITELY would cost far more, so I can only assume…

I feel like people in the comments are missing the obvious conclusion that Kamiya just didn’t want Taylor voicing Bayo and lowballed her intentionally to have her back out. Not that I’m condoning this behavior, but this seems less about an industry-wide problem (though that is definitely a real issue) and more about a…

But Taylor called the entire situation, while legal, “immoral.”

For what reasons do people work at gamestop for a whole decade? Especially when theres a nearby mcdonalds with better pay?

Time for a little “hard truth” or, I am sure, a very unpopular opinion:
