Human Artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Au fait, c'est quoi un AA ? Vous avez probablement déjà entendu les termes "AAA", "AA", "indé". Peut-être même "III" ou, tenez-vous bien, AAAA. Mais demandez à dix personnes ce que chaque concept signifie et vous obtiendrez dix ...

Deux articles intéressants qui proposent une classification des jeux un peu plus précise et objective que les très faillibles "indé/AA/AAA" (Il faut lire les deux, le 1er à lui seul est incomplet sinon).

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

The "big" new is probably that the eventual definitive title of the game is Extropy.

Indeed, I'm working actively on the mechanics that I'm coding in #godotengine. So, I don't have so much "sexy" screenshots to show at the moment, but the artistic work will begin intensively in a close future.

I didn't post many things these times but I'll try to correct it, providing regular news about my personal videogame.

I was really not productive in 2024. As creating voxel art missed me, I wish to work on and post more pieces in 2025.

Hi,
I'm Dima, a voxel artist with 6 years of experience. I was one of the main artists on Station to Station and I created teardown mods that combined accumulated over 750K+ subscribers.

I’m passionate about voxels, scripting, and photography.

I hope you’ll appreciate my craft as much as I do.
