I should clarify my stance here:
I feel like if you're calling just upscaling or keyframe interpolation AI, you've got some form of agenda, even if it's just the media piece doing some fucking laundering of bad actors.
i also feel a type of way that charles cecil was just casually like 'yeah so we had a lot of the original assets and just trained the models on those'. are any artists that worked on those still alive? did they consent to it being used like that? (probably not.)
i'm so unimpressed.
I always wonder about these kinds of claims. Are a few hundred handdrawn sprites and the original assets enough to train a generative model? I'd have guessed not, that really the model is trained on those things on top of every bit of stolen artwork they could find on the internet, but I don't understand it enough to know whether they're actually lying or if I just don't understand this stuff.
I started to reply to this but it turned into a post: https://cohost.org/egotists-club/post/2601676-oh-god-i-m-actually
this is helpful to know & consider. thank you for putting in the work!
Hey, anybody remember last year, when Polygon ran two separate articles promoting AI as the future of gaming?
https://www.polygon.com/23465326/artificial-intelligence-prompt-video-games-and-movies
https://www.polygon.com/c/23485904/next-10-art-gallery/holographic-user-generated-games-future
I'm not shocked cus this is the guy who keeps writing all their articles about the Microsoft ABK deal that are all pro-Microsoft and how they'll not do anything anti-competitive if they merge, his name on an article is an instant pass for me but still hate the pro-AI stance
