Meu marido acorda todo dia antes do sol nascer pra orar e ler a Bíblia. Como seria possível ele votar no Lula? Se SEU marido vota no Lula eu diria pra você orar muito e clamar pra que ele se arrependa de votar em alguém que promove assassinato de bebês no ventre de suas mães












Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling. Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement. In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible) A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART. Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence. There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages. None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

Larian admits to AI usage. E33 used AI. KCD2 allegedly used AI. Activision is using AI. Xbox is using AI. GTA 6 definitely is using AI. Indie studios with small teams probably use AI in some capacity. The chances your fav studio uses AI is extremely high, even if they don’t say it Hell, the chances that VALVE is using AI to help with Deadlock and Half-Life 3 development is probably true I’m genuinely curious what everyone’s move is going to be moving forward. Are you going to boycott all future games? Stop playing these current games that used it? Quit gaming all together? I hate genAI as much as the next guy. I’m curious what the future actually will be for gaming as a hobby though



Larian CEO confirms the studio is using generative AI to "explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text." He says there won’t be any AI-generated content in Divinity — "everything is human actors; we’re writing everything ourselves." (Source: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…)

'Divinity' will be turnbased and Larian aims for a much shorter dev cycle than 'Baldur’s Gate 3'. They will not use gen ai (for stuff in the final game) and everything will made by humans. 'Divinity' will be an early access game. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…



Acho que Swen devia ter ficado calado na questão da AI, eu como programadora entendo e não posso ser hipócrita sobre, usamos pra caralho como ferramenta Mas no final do dia existe uma grande parte que não vai gostar ou nem vai tentar entender esse uso Ainda é gen AI também



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.
