They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I'm not super excited about blurry 50 fps gaming where it takes your $3000 gpu several frames to converge light into a discernible picture. I love how great games got to look but the tradeoffs we took aren't very good imo We need nice baked GI again that runs on a laptop you found behind a dumpster

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

I would rather snap my own legs in half and stab the bones into my eyes than push some genAI slop shit out into the world. The idea of letting this extremely gross and perverse tech anywhere near my work or process is repulsive. The state of industry “leaders” bending over for a bag is shameful.

Trying to improve the composition, I don't think the initial reference was that good, I just used it to paint some trees without much thought behind the whole picture.

Haven't painted anything in quite a while, or rather what I painted wasn't coming out right.. However this study I did today finally turned out quite good again.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Dear programmers, coders and gamedevs. How? Please post your best tutorials on how to actually start learning coding. My end goal is to build something in gdscript but I'm struggling at the most basic principles of coding. Help an artist to dive into the world of code please.

So I wasnt really that happy with my Gandalf painting so im trying out a new brush and new technique to be more loose and painterly. Here is a sketch of King Theoden from Lord of the Rings to try it out. What do you think? Is it an improvement from my previous work? #lotr #art #humanart #procreate
