But I was never making an “AI replacing humans” argument, we covered that already. I am against any use of GenAI.

But they’re using GenAI in the ideation stage of concepting, which is something I have a problem with, and you don’t (which is fine, by the way). I feel like we’ve come back to the beginning of this argument, lol

Gift cards only I’m afraid

I think what they’ve said is that they’ll be using it in the ideation stage, which is part of the process of creating concept art. They’ve also said they often use it to “develop concept art”, which could well just be a slip of the tongue by management rather than a clear statement by somebody involved in the process.

To tell you that, I’d need to a “describe number” ritual which is $30

I think maybe you’re having a different argument than me? I didn’t say they were replacing anyone or anything with AI.

What I have expressed an issue with is exactly what you described:

they’re using it to help with the foundational stage of some processes, which is how it’s supposed to be used. Throw shit at the wall and see what sticks, then work off of that.

And you dismissively and incorrectly compared that to driving to the gym.

I think maybe try a different LLM to come up with your arguments, maybe Claude? Because the one you’ve got thinking for you right now doesn’t seem to be working lad.

Yeah it’s exactly like that mate lol, did you get ChatGPT to come up with that poor, poor analogy or are you just thick?

It’s similar to how there are witches on Etsy that you can buy spells from. A customer goes on Etsy and pays a mathematician to do a love sum, or a death calculation, or a good luck multiplication.

The concepting stage is a really crucial and foundational stage in terms of design, but it can also influence writing, gameplay, etc. as an artist explores the thing they’re concepting.

I don’t like genAI, and think that using it at such an important stage will invariably mean it ends up influencing the game. I want to play games or experience media made with intention by people, not bland products shat out by a chatbot.

Well, whatever floats your boat; but I think it’s probably not worth your time dude. I’m sorry that somebody made you feel bad for doing something good, have a good eve ✌️

It seems like you’ve really got twisted up over somebody making you feel bad. I’d let it go, if I were you. You’ll only wind yourself up more.

I was more commenting on how grocery prices are more important than internet porn to be honest, and how thoroughly the govt are letting the public down by focusing on puritanical and unimportant bs like porn when food is unaffordable

I’m not sure the trade is internet porn for lower food prices, that isn’t what I was suggesting

Can we have normal grocery prices first? Ban porn if you want, whatever, but please make our weekly shops affordable again. Any help on rent prices would be really nice, too.

I just listen to podcasts and music, and daydream as I work. I can’t relax if I’m not working cos it’s not worth the hassle, but I don’t have to give the system my whole mind.

Jimmy “Brutal Regime Jester”/“Tax Evasion” Carr wanders into another area of his vast and deep expertise: technology.

I would say he needs to stop flapping his gums but after all the roadwork he’s had done on his face I’m not sure they’re even his to flap.

Not if I have anything to do with it
