[…] backlash against his assertions regarding Larian's use of genAI "to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text"

All of these tasks can be done by a human using tools that existed before generative AI started to rub its cock and balls on everything.

You can say that something has been “lost in translation”, but if you have AI anywhere near concept art, you are diminishing the work of actual artists.

And if those "artists" do their work on a digital tablet instead of physical media, they are also diminish the work of actual artists.

I don’t remember Wacom scraping the internet and stealing artists’ entire portfolios in order to power their tablets.

I don't recall anyone’s job being replaced by a drawing tablet.

Do you really think gen ai is going to replace artists? Its just another tool to use. If anything it lowers the level of entry. You dont need to be a master to produce quailty art. You dont need burn the midnight oil to produce new art with changes the director requested...

Its always the same argument when new technology arrives. Power looms replaced weavers. Did those jobs disappeared? No, it went on to created a booming textile industry. But it didnt stop the hand weavers trying to burn down the textile factories in defiance.

You will never win fighting against technology. You will only harm yourself by not embracing progression. If you want something to fight, fight against the ones that own the automations.

There comes an environmental limit, though, and computers themselves may have already been it without us realizing it, but AI use only hastens our demise: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59966675

Thats an entirely seperate issue. If we invested in clean enegry 40 years ago, then there would be far less impact.

That's not just wrong, it's harmfully stupid.

People should bully companies more.

It's just fun to watch em squirm.

"a lot has become lost in translation"

This is just a different way of saying "our recent statement caused confusion." Do you think we are confused, Larian?

It's not about how you use gen-AI, it's about the fact that you even think it's appropriate to use it at all in a creative industry.
