AI generated Armor Assets

[DiaDeem]

I would prefer this than more reskinned stuff in dungeons or anywhere else please. Consider if there is ever instances where there is no time or budget to hand make them, just use the AI instead of making a reskin of an existing asset. And worse yet, an undyeable reskin.

Companies are unable to enforce copyright for AI generated art. If the source of art in a game cannot be directly attributed to an artist or developer, anyone can utilize such AI generated art. Not going to happen any time soon.

I would be fine with them using AI to generate concept art.

Ai trained on which artist's works? Are those artists being paid?

It can be supportive. I know at least one MMORPG-in-the-making that utilizes AI to some minor extent. The caveat is that all images the AI trains on are generated in-house by artists whose time and effort is bought and paid for specifically to train the AI.

The AI art is also "directed" by the developers/artists, therefore copyrightable. It is not done via the current AI-driven websites typing "male catboy wearing chain mail armor bikini".

If they do decide to go the way of AI, it would most definitely make the most sense for them to get their own in house AI trained off of their own artists work.

And as I said, use it for concept art, still would need people to actually turn it into actual ingame content and what not.

It's all in how and where it's used. If it's used to port large amounts of assets to another race or to re-mege existing gear with more polygons I'm all for using AI. If it's for designing from scratch that's where I say no; unless it's for giving artists/designers ideas.

It's always cheaper to use the fruits of someone else's labor without paying them. In that sense, AI is a great idea!

I would agree but AI's not a human. The problem with AI replacing human jobs is a problem with the type of government you agree to live under, or forced to live under.

The fact that you even feel comfortable posting this is disgusting.

The art theft machine needs to go back into the trash where it belongs.

would much rather have a handful of hand-crafted models that get recolors every few months than a bottomless swamp of soulless sludge.
