Why did this just fill me with despair?these weird AI generated movies
Because you work in the industry, right? AI is gonna mess stuff up. No doubt.Why did this just fill me with despair?
Our head of department foresees AI being quite a helpful tool for now for dealing with drudgery and allowing more complex work to be done on lower budget productions, but it's still about 5-10 years away from replacing junior staff. Frankly, I see it moving a lot faster than that, though. Which is worrisome. Honestly, I need about 60-70% mindless drudgery in my work week. It leaves me the desire and creative energy to work on the hard stuff.Because you work in the industry, right? AI is gonna mess stuff up. No doubt.

While my inclination is to agree, some of the players in my Greyhawk campaign have put AI artwork to good use for character portraits in particular.More worryingly, I see a mass die-off of creativity as AI and we further recycle and remix what has gone before.
Agreed. The ethical issues are a huge concern with generative AI in particular.I find the AI intrusion into creativity incredibly alarming. I could certainly see the attraction of its use as a guided tool by fellow creatives, but the specter of it as a replacement, and the problem of it learning by stealing skill... It has taken me a life time of trial and error and practice and so many, many rejections to hone my craft enough where I'm just now starting to make a living at fiction. That some industry execs could just decree to strip mine my work to teach their program how to write is incredibly frustrating. I learned a few months back that some of my fiction already HAS been utilized in this manner, along with a whole bunch of other writers. We weren't even notified, much less compensated.
Our oldest son wrote an excellent paper for college about the history of AI in music that looks at these issues. I pinged him to see about sharing it.And don't even get me started on AI art replacing artists who've spent years and years laboring to master their skills. It's not as though these particular professions are typically remunerative in a substantial way. Why do they want to come after them? Because they can? Because they can save a little bit of money by having a program create something? Ugh. I don't know where the middle road or the compromise is...
Same player shared some bard songs written and performed by AI, at least one of which was pretty hilariously over-the-top exhibiting the worst traits of a lounge lizard, jazz crooner, and metal power ballad rolled into one songWhile my inclination is to agree, some of the players in my Greyhawk campaign have put AI artwork to good use for character portraits in particular.
