It did get maybe 90% there in a minute which is faster than a person would do it. Not a perfect tile, maybe take a few more interations. But not awful for cobbled together in a minute, and if your job is to come up with 50 or 100 different textures, still better than doing it by hand.
But as I noted, there are also already royalty free libraries for this stuff as well.
I don’t think you know anything about texturing. Even if you eventually got to a point where it gave you something usable it’s not going to be consistent.
If you’re job is to create 100+ textures and you’re only able to get 90% of the way there for each variation, you’re fucked. You can create infinite variations of a texture with procedural once your initial setup is done. AI couldn’t even get a basic bitch texture right how is it going to deal with more complex textures?
Not at all wrong, just showing what can be done with virtually zero effort and time.
I could most likely perfect it in a few minutes more, still a fraction of the time of doing it by hand. I’m not extending a proof of concept to win arguments on the Internet. 😉
But as I noted at the bottom of the comment, which apparently nobody bothered to read, there are ALREADY royalty free libraries for this kind of thing. So it also has to be faster than searching libraries that are already there.
Of course that action is it’s own time sink as anyone who has gone looking for “the perfect font” can tell you.
Nobody did that by hand even before Gen Ai was invented. Even before photography or computers, there were techniques to get textures without manually drawing them. The splotches, for example, could be accomplished by shaking the brush at the canvas.
Someone skilled in Substance Designer can also do that in minutes. And then you have a file that can generate an infinite number of variations that look artistically consistent including normal maps, roughness maps etc.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
I could see using AI for tasks that are so mind numbing and mundane it might actually be cruel to make a human do it.
“I need a perfectly tileable concrete wall texture for a video game, make it light gray with random spots of yellow and white paint.”
Took about a minute.
But then, if you’re going to do THAT, there are already royalty free libraries where it’s already done.
Those sort of things are easy to do with procedural textures. You’re example isn’t even tileable.
Well of course not, AI did it in 1 minute. 🤣
You have no point then, AI isn’t even able to do something mundane. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

…so you’re proving yourself wrong?

It’s not really a proof of concept if it doesn’t even meet the only mildly challenging criteria laid out…
You’re getting roasted because you basically did the equivalent of going, “well I asked ChatGPT and it said, [demonstrably wrong answer]”.
Nobody did that by hand even before Gen Ai was invented. Even before photography or computers, there were techniques to get textures without manually drawing them. The splotches, for example, could be accomplished by shaking the brush at the canvas.
The problem with your example is there are traditional algorithms that can do that, and better.
They can, but they also don’t meet the corporate dictate of “Everyone use AI.” 😉
Who are these dictators that need to meet the guillotine?
