What’s rad about a character holding a gun with three hands? It’s insulting to professional artists and the player base alike.
GenAI videos can be fun to use as inspiration, but you don’t collect a reel of shitty animations and call it a trailer. I don’t even play ARK and I feel bad for the players. They got served a shit sandwich.
Intent is critical for my enjoyment of art. What makes art wonderful is that it lets you connect with another human being, get a glimpse into their mind, see their perspective, feel their feelings.
Gen AI as it exists today has no intent, so I have no interest in it.
Generative AI “art” is incredibly useful for small creators to prototype works. Whether that is storyboarding/previs or making a presentation to show investors. It allows those small creators to make something “understandable” while keeping budgets down during the early days/years of a project.
Once that work is ready to be shown to the public? All work must have an actual creator. Whether that is an asset pack you purchased because it is “close enough” or an artist that you contracted/hired.
But also? Studio Wildcard (the company behind Ark) is very established and have been making games for over a decade at this point. They should have artists on staff who are already familiar with the style and design bibles of the Ark universe.
I like the idea of mixed media with AI and hand drawn/painted, or acrylic pour painting. I also like the idea of using AI for lyrical inspiration, like the cut ups process. Where words are written on paper, and they are cut up and mixed together like David Bowie, Eno, Brion Gysin, and Burroughs.
Good AI art should be completely invisible, like when romcom movies with no visible CGI are actually changing the entire sky in certain scenes. People were able to spot the flaws here instantly.
Or if you’re a 1 man studio living in their parent’s basement, go nuts with it. This is a gigantic company that could afford to hire humans.

Am I the only one that thinks AI art and videos and rad?

Good point about the 3 hands.

They’re cool, but using them to sell a product is bullshit

AI should be a tool, not a replacer.

Depends for me. I used AInto make a music video for one of my songs lol
