This is like saying that crude oil is a very efficient source of energy if you ignore all the plankton and algae that decayed over the course of hundreds of millions of years. "It takes a lot of energy to train a human." Where the fuck do you think the training data came from, Clamuel?

Oh no! Anyway, I think I will have Gyoza for dinner.

Open AI doesn't even use their own products YouTube video by Max Hofert

Max Hofert wonders why the company that's trying to sell you on the benefit (and inevitability) of synthetic text and synthetic images and synthetic video, used human actors and expensive 35mm cameras for their ad campaign. This isn't just odd — it's weird.

You should really give Rhythm Heaven a look next. That franchise is the pioneer of the 1 to 2-button* rhythm game and is just as visually and musically creative (if not more!)

I just wanted to redraw that title screen.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did.

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” stressed Canavan. “This is what concept artists were made for. Why would you pollute that glorious creative movement with joyless, photocopied art?”

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

If you see a lot of political memes that have an out-of-place sepia filter, it's because the Studio Ghibli filter OpenAI added to ChatGPT was too popular and polluted their database, and will force a "nostalgic Ghibli sepia filter" onto images without asking. The recent White House Halo pic is one.

I might have to draw twintail Shantae now...

Let's go!! ❤️

Also, why does AI always have this sycophantic tone of voice? "I love your setup with the ingredients." Have these losers never been praised by their parents? What's going on? No, really. What the fuck is going on?

"Need a quick Korean-inspired sauce? Grate the pear and dump it on the floor you piece of shit."

This is a true "Grate the pear" moment for AI.

To be fair, he did say Korean-"insployered" so maybe that's what confused the AI.

This is maybe the best ad I've seen for AI thus far. It just works.
