Im gonna admit something very real abt myself and curiosity with AI:
The main reason I haven't looked into it and setting up a local model confined to my own computer is because I'm too lazy to tune it. It would have to be tuned to my own work specifically, and become reliable at it.
And the reasons I would use it for, are already substituted with 3D modeling options. (I would want to check different lightning conditions)
And I'm already too lazy to use 3D modeling.
I just use stockphotos and photography and video game screenshots as visual aids already.
Like this shit isnt actually valuable without a trained artist to make it become interesting through knowledgable corrections and editing.
Anyway. Good luck to the VFX Marvel Studios union. Hopefully they actually form and become a thing? And understand that they have to spread to other studios to become effective?
