@DraperDanMan @cmuratori I'm sure many OpenAI people also paid for art during their lives. I don't see the relevance.

Because you neither paid, nor credited, nor even acknowledged the artists whose work you're now implicitly using. This is pretty simple.
If you go out and buy a bunch of art books and you look through those to get ideas, the people who made the art books get the money one-for-one for every studio that ever buys those books.
If you go to someone's portfolio page on the internet and get some ideas, you now know who that person is and maybe you really like what they did. Maybe you might hire them to do concept art for your game someday.
If you ask a generative AI to generate ideas for you, you pay Google, OpenAI, Midjourney, etc., and that's it. The artists who made everything that goes into it get nothing. They do not get money. They do not get exposure. They do not even get the bare minimum acknowledgement from you that they even existed.
I am glad players are angry about generative AI. I hope they get even more angry. Artists that contribute art to a creative process deserve better treatment than this.
If you like generative AI as a tool, advocate for a properly licensed, properly attributed version of it first. If instead you choose to use generative AI and ignore the ethical issues, you more than deserve the backlash.

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: gamespot.com/articles/baldu… We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

@JCeacc @barry_bach @GulagKulak @cmuratori You're not, it's the same as if you're using dollar bills that were laundered through your local chicken shop. But there is still a greater evil that's earlier in the chain.

@barry_bach @GulagKulak @cmuratori If I download an open weights model from China - what law am I breaking?

@cmuratori On the other hand when you create something after reading a book you aren't paying this person anything as well. The learning process on illegal sources is bad (like using cracked courses) but artists aren't paying either to their sources of inspriation. Humans do they same.
English
@tzhechev @cmuratori I think you'll find that many of them did in-fact buy a book/comic/print of the artist they're inspired by.
English
@cmuratori Did all of those artists credit and pay royalties to all of the artists they learned from? Did they pay royalties to the artists THOSE artists learned from?
I think it's a nice sentiment, but every craft and art is already standing on the shoulders of giants (for free).
English
@Bedst0ne @cmuratori Sit down one afternoon and try to draw something that you remember.
Or even while looking at it. (Without tracing) You'll be surprised that part of you entered that version of the thing you're referencing.
English
@cmuratori Just thinking out loud here, not trying to argue, just pondering. Every artist draws from all they’ve seen, felt, or experienced (movies, songs, architecture, ideas from strangers and friends, often subconsciously) yet isn’t required to credit every copyrighted inspiration.
English
@supertommy @cmuratori If you use google images when you click on an image it takes you to the source. It's pretty revolutionary.
English
@cmuratori not against a licensed gen art model but how is what you are saying different from searching google images/pinterest and seeing things that inspire but never knowing who made it?
I just don’t see this as some kind of new problem from gen AI

Today I learned: Seamless travel in Unreal networking (ie. transitioning maps while having persistent elements) is disabled in PlayInEditor by default for some reason. You just have to set this flag to be true? lmao
