    I was going to dispute his bullshit but then I found this gem:

    And it would generate in the style of that, all consistent with the artistry, you know, the style, the intent of the artist. And so all of that is done for the artist, so that they can create something that is more beautiful, but still in the style that they want.

    Dude is literally saying AI will do a better job at creating art than the artist. Talk about being tone-deaf. The future of artistry isn’t a fucking etch a sketch and prompt engineering you fucking donkey.

      A prompt driven etch-a-sketch would actually be awesome, and I think it could be built with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and a couple of stepper motors, so pretty cheap.

      I prefer this quote

      It’s ground truth structure data guided

      Nobody knows what it means, but it’s provocative

          What does it mean? To me it’s like words pulled randomly out of a hat. (i.e. the emperor has no clothes on.)

            I think they’re saying that it’s not generating slop from nothing. They take the artist’s “structure data” as a “ground truth” and the generation is “guided” to generate slop that won’t deviate too far from the original?

      Definitely not the future of art, but it could be the future of the media business. These greedy suits don’t care about “artistry” and will do anything to save money on labor costs. Unless, of course, people continue to push back hard against the ensloppification of everything we love.

      We hate AI, but to be honest we don’t have it nearly enough…

        I have no illusions about managers and executives, who have never worked for a living, salivating over the cost cutting opportunity. I was talking more from the perspective of the artist. I doubt any artist would consider this as actual art because it’s the most soulless way of creating art. It’s the rough equivalent of writing about what you’d want to draw instead of actually drawing it.

          There’s a few of them. Notably, the guy who didn’t care that AI art is built on the back of copyright violations getting pissy about his AI-generated art not being eligible for copyright.

          But more importantly here, I don’t think most artists in the gaming industry are in much of a position where they can stand by their artistic integrity. If every publisher pushes studios into using AI to be more “productive”, the choice becomes between slopping or starving—and most people don’t like starving.

          We as consumers are the only ones that can afford to push back against this shit. Our survival doesn’t rely on buying DLSS 5 games so we have the ability to boycott them to send a message.

    “I don’t like crack myself, so I get community concerns around it” – said the local crack dealer, when reached out for comment on the story. “I only profit around the stuff, I wouldn’t want it myself.”

      I’m still trying to decode that sentence.

      “You know, all of the AI-generated content increasingly looks similar and they’re all beautiful and so I’m empathetic towards what they’re thinking.”

      Who does he mean by “they”? Who’s beautiful? Who’s he empathetic towards?

        My attempt to rephrase it based on how I understood it after listening to that section of the podcast (which I cannot recommend, he’s absolutely just spouting marketing shit):

        You know, all of the AI-generated content increasingly looks similar, the faces generated are all beautiful in the same way, and so I’m empathetic towards what videogame fans are thinking about DLSS5

    At the end, he says game devs have the choice on whether it’s used or not. Is that true? Is this a dev technology? I was under the impression that it’s a consumer technology you can enable in your 3D settings like anti-aliasing or something.
