What you say is true about artists taking styles, motifs, and in some cases flat out copying/reproducing a certain artist’s work. All of these however, can result in lawsuits where the artist or corporation can make a copyright claim to sue for damages and financial loss.

I actually think the debate over whether or not AI-generated art should be recognized as art is pointless, for many of the reasons you mention. If it were a matter of individual artists using this tool in isolation I would have no problem with it.

“Amplifying human creativity”...is it me or with corporations, their word is often the opposite when it comes to the true intent? With corporations embracing AI art, they are pushing to void any creative labor, and thus, hurt actual artists just making this a paying hobby. Remember, the bigger the industry, the more…

What the techno-utopians who comment on articles like this fail to realize is that they’re considering AI art generators as a neutral tool that has somehow materialized out of thin air. Considered in isolation, it is a promising instrument - but the reality is that such technology is developed and wielded by…

I’ve managed game and other software development teams for more years than I care to remember, and the one common denominator they all shared is a near total disregard for conventional fashion.

I mean, I don’t care about what they’re wearing any more than you do, but let’s not pretend TGA isn’t already elitist back-patting fluff.  We haven’t made it stuffy yet, but I don’t think it would really alter the overall quality much either way.

It feels like the sartorial model for “Games Awards” is less “The Oscars” and more “The Scientific and Technical Oscars crossed with the Grammys”.  There’s no red carpet to speak of (since the audience generally does not recognize who these people are) and the standards for “formality” are open to interpretation.  But…

I don’t even mind the jacket and t-shirt thing, but if you’re going to go casual have fun with it! I want to see weird hawaiian shirts with Pokemon on them, Genshin bucket hats, belts with buckles made to look like the Steam Deck logo--the more ridiculous and nerdy the better!

The thing is they definitely spent $600 or more on these shitty looks.

A lot of khaki shorts and print t-shirt wearing dudebros in the comments salty as fuck. This entire article was spot-on. I just wish there were more images of the disaster fists and a roast of each of them. 

First, it is an awards show. This is the sort of thing where you probably should dress up a bit if you’re expecting to be on-stage, joke of an awards show as it might be.

My opinion is: if an artist/content creator thinks their creation is a meaningful masterpiece, but the audience somehow fails to decrypt that meaning, it’s not necessarily the audience’s fault.

Gholdengo can’t be the Cryptobro Pokemon because his body is made out of real money and Make It Rain does immediate damage.

right, but they’re only enamoured because it’s an opportunity to make money

I think in this case it’s 20% money and 80% dumb executives being enamored with the latest tech trend. This is an underpants-gnome level business strategy best explained by some unscrupulous consultant (or bored engineering manager…) saying “woo-woo, it’s AI.”

Sooo, another thing that makes DreamUp terrible...
I tried it out, and prompted it to make a Monkey Scientist wearing goggles, aaand, 2 out of 3 of the images it generated was of a black man wearing glasses... So yeah, AI is kinda racist.
I honestly have no idea how people make anything remotely interesting with these…

The answer is money (at all costs) because thats all the answer ever is

it’s almost like people engage with games in different ways than you do

During the 360 era and well into my PS4 ownership I would often operate like this: purchasing physical discs and installing them while disconected from the internet. And unless I was actively engaged with some form of multiplayer part of the game, I would remain offline as I played.

I liked it a lot the first time I saw it, but Christophe’s reasons for the gender-swap are pretty awful. Apparently he didn’t think characteristics like vulnerability, fear and caring about a child were masculine enough for a male protagonist - which, fucking yikes.
