Everyone's dogpiling on this nonsense so I won't repeat the same thing, but I do find it kinda gross how they compared using art books as inspiration to using generated crap.

"We use AI so we don't have to study or think."
Guys, it's Count Olaf in a particularly unimaginative CEO disguise.

This is because people don’t generally fill wine glasses all the way to the top. Nearly all photos of wine glasses filled with wine are going to be a standard pour - that is roughly between 1/3-1/2 a glass depending on its size. MAYBE 2/3 for a heavy pour. But not to the brim.+

Not nearly spilling over like we might see with, say, a glass of beer.

And GenAI can’t imagine. It can’t extrapolate from what it knows to imagine something new. It can only copy and copy and copy what it’s already seen.

But you know what a concept artist can do?

i was made to do the test twice, once i got the feedback "not larian enough and that can't be taught". when i tried again i got through, and they made me remake it with their feedback. then i was summarily ghosted. not even shady start-ups had treated me like this afjhdfa

I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

I’m also tired of people looking at art and creative projects as something that needs to be streamlined. That needs all the edges cut off and smoothed down. The capitalism core of art.

Gotta make product! Make product fast! More product now, produce more product for cheaper, cheaper product-!
