Theft of what? The jobs are a legitimate concern though.

But of course when corporations infringe on copyright it’s fine right it’s not theft at all.

This is a reality. The snake of capitalism is eating its own fail

Will the end result of this be panacea for the indie Dev? Essentially all the major producers end up killing off all their talent by forcing AI, and those folks now form their own indie studios and make the games we actually want.

The question is who funds these theoretical new studios? Indie studies more often than not have to make deals with the devil so they can eat. Then, even if their game is a smash hit, the investors take the lion’s share of profit and still control the actual devs by the purse strings. This society is sick.

Isn’t that already the case though?

If you were to listen to the internet, AAA studios would be on their last gasp, with indie devs dancing on their graves.
The reality is that, aside from the big indie game of the moment (think Silksong or Expedition 33, if you want to count the latter as indie), most gamers don’t care or don’t even know indie games exist in the first place.
I have a few gamer friends (each of whom spends a few hours daily on games), and only one of them plays maybe one indie games per year, and only those who manage to breach through his bubble via influencers and streamers.jimmy90@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
what is going to happen when the prices rocket up and who is going to create the content for future AI?

One can only hope.

I could see using AI for tasks that are so mind numbing and mundane it might actually be cruel to make a human do it.
“I need a perfectly tileable concrete wall texture for a video game, make it light gray with random spots of yellow and white paint.”
Took about a minute.
But then, if you’re going to do THAT, there are already royalty free libraries where it’s already done.

Someone skilled in Substance Designer can also do that in minutes. And then you have a file that can generate an infinite number of variations that look artistically consistent.

The problem with your example is there are traditional algorithms that can do that, and better.

They can, but they also don’t meet the corporate dictate of “Everyone use AI.” 😉

Those sort of things are easy to do with procedural textures.
jordanlund@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Well of course not, AI did it in 1 minute. 🤣

Nobody did that by hand even before Gen Ai was invented. Even before photography or computers, there were techniques to get textures without manually drawing them. The splotches, for example, could be accomplished by shaking the brush at the canvas.
