Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder “The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Baltimore? I was born there

That’s true

Great thread Alan

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Ahmad’s family is in dire need of help. They have been displaced at night from shelling. Food is increasingly scarce. Please give them a chance to survive. Give whatever you can. Thank you. www.paypal.me/AMQudaih His IG: www.instagram.com/qudaih__ahmad

Same!!

I've edited some 90 second clips from the great interview Nico and I did with Jason at @somanygames.co.uk. Do you like this?? At least 4 more on the way…

Some I've spoken with believe Wilson's optimism comes in no small part from wanting to go all in on generative AI.

If you work at EA and are seeing AI creep into your work like never before I'm ethangach@protonmail.com and ethangach on Discord.

Apparently I'm out of a job. I really can't complain too much -- Polygon was a great place to work for the last decade-plus -- but if anyone's hiring, please reach out!

Help I'm in the vault!

Wow thank you for playing and liking it! :D

I love how you drew her hair!

How nice 😊 I really enjoyed this conversation with Jason and Nico about Arranger.
