I have a phone that has no sim card and I only use it for podcasts (using wifi). I found it strange that different places I took it changed how long the battery lasted. I was going on the idea that it was about the wifi. But as I traveled to different places, and different countries, I saw a radical change in the battery life. I could go over a week in small country and then in the US it would drain in two days.

I finally turned the airplane mode on and it returned to the level of outside US small country in terms of battery life.

What the hell is that device doing when in the US? Its terrifying actually.

I would really like to see both: Artists creating their vision, drawing and sketching out ideas. Then using their own work, bring that to life with generative AI. Train on their drawings and work alone. Use it to help with rigging and modeling. Use it to take mashes and apply them in the holodeck as it is generating the world you are exploring.

It is not just one or the other. It just become a little more complicated.

I don’t know. I think you used a computer. That is going to put people out of work. As a former graphic artist, this really shits on my field. That no longer exists, because computer.

I kind of am joking around, but I really used to do this stuff and we debated what was acceptable using “clip art” books vs hand drawings. That was a physical thing back in the day, and people worried about mass produced clip art ruining everything.

I don’t care about AI in video games, seems silly to give a shit.

I DO care if they are using AI to analyse or harvest my data. Otherwise… its a freaking video game. Whatever. Is it a good game?

And I say this because I know people who really have interesting ideas, but they cant afford artists, musicians, and some even need a little help creating meshs and rigging. I would hope they are honest about it, but if they use AI as a tool to bring their vision together that seems fine. If they do translations it definitely would be worth saying “AI generated” as it never is as good as a native speaker. But it is something that is better than nothing.

And I will add: If you are concerned about the “executive class” and workers, you shouldnt be buying from the big studios anyways.

Edit: I guess the down otes indicate that you don’t give a shit about artists, you just have a knee jerk reaction to technology. Probably because you do not even understand it.
