>is there any point learning to draw or model
People like you who "consume end product" were never going to learn in the first place. If you can't understand why people find enjoyment in creative endeavors, then you're beyond help.

Was there any point to learning chess after Deepblue beat Kasparov?

>>986642
Cris won

>>986630
No, it's not worthwhile for a career, for fun yes.
>>986655
99,9% don't make money with chess. Except for chess manufacturers.

>>986662
99,9% didnt make money with art before AI

>>986665
Agree with you in that statement but you are not seeing the full picture. AI don't make you more money, but lower the costs of lot of things in production

>>986637
you're nothing more than a hobbyist, you'll never understand professional work

>>986655
chess is meaningful when you play it against another human, just like a sport such as soccer is meaningful when you play it against another human. If you play soccer with a human against a robot that is trained on billions of nodes of data on how to do the perfect volley or header into the upper corner of the net, not only is it against the rules, but it loses meaning.


>>986667
"productions" are terrible.

>>986678
hobbyists have all the power now. Commercial work is so terrible and full of computer crap that I go out of my way to devote large parts of my work to traditional mediums without computer. 2D, pencil and pen, marker, guache. No forced updates, no hidden fees, no spyware, no telemetry, no forced, barely disguised agendas.

Softwares coming and going, sales and acquisitions to worse companies, software folding all together, prices going up, hilarious terms of service changes, app store fees and service agreements, it goes on and on. It gets old.

There is nothing more pure than 2d without a computer in the mediums i described and none of the bullshit. I still do 3d, but the stuff I have to deal with on a daily basis is absolutely out of this world compared to 2d without a computer

AI 3D is flawed and won't be fixed anytime soon.

Consider the following:
You can teach an AI a concept to it can reproduce it, but you cannot teach it what IS. The AI does not KNOW it's showing you a building, just reproducing the concepts linked with the word "building". It has no spatial awareness of what constitutes a building nor depth to understand how perspective affects it.
For static images this flaw is fine, but for 3d it doesn't work.

The result is a rotoscopic-like 3d illusion.

The latest AI videos flooding tiktok and twitter today show that: They have very static backgrounds and characters sightly moving their necks or hands because if there is too much movement everything melts. They trained their AI to keep backgrounds almost static because AI doesn't know how depth and consistence work.

See this image of the "latest" and most advanced AI. The clouds move up and down because the movement of the wings is affecting them, AI can't understand depth nor how to render things near a moving object.

"AI" is a grift and can't be art directed at all. It's good for making tiktok slop and that's about it

>>986694
wrong, there are videos with rotating cameras now, and saying it can't be fixed anytime soon is retarded considering the massive progress AI has done in the last few years

>>986696
>wrong, there are videos with rotating cameras now
You did not read.
How does it affect the background?
Does it properly show how walls and other things look in terms of perspective?
Does anything melt in the background?

Or does it show very very limited movement, trying to keep the background as static as possible?

I am talking of the inherent limitations ALL AI have.

>>986684
Yeah that is exactly my point. Very very few people interested in Chess know what a LCZero or Komododragon is because nobody cares about mathematical perfection. The human error that brings the human element you find in chess, and in art is what makes them interesting, its why people study Fischer and not Stockfish

Bruh, what you're describing is AI specifically trained on 2d images or animations to produce 2d images or animations.
Yeah, even that can produce rendered 3d, which is often very problematic, which makes a lot of sense.
Just wait for AI trained on *.blend files which produces *.blend files.

This is exactly what i was talking about >>986694.
>The background is a static image, with frozen background characters.
>The dude on the stairs mutates in the beginning because the AI thought he changed too since he was close to the girl's hair. AI does not understand depth.
>The background is blurry (because the trick devs used to train their "revolutionary" AI are static and blurred backgrounds).
These errors are not new, these video AI are built from already existing AI tech.
And said AI tech is flawed.
To fix it, devs tried tricks like the ones i mentioned, but to truly fix them they would need to rebuild the entire AI from 0, with completely different approaches than the current AI tech, and that takes hundreds of millions with no guarantee of success.

As long as they don't re-do how AI image generation works (which is also the base for video generation) from 0, with revolutionary approaches, these kind of errors will keep happening, no matter how much devs try to hide them.

>>986701
The animation is so bad, you can’t teach AI how human behavior. This girl character should be either mad or scared because of (X) reasons. Instead the AI is just making her do mood swings with very bad decisions on how the voice actors should respond. Her eyes are dead, any good animation person would think to reflect her feelings into the eyesight, movement is part if human perception to us.

AI is a scam concept, not even Disney would publish this video.

If anyone is being dishonest it's you. The AI can't make memes, no porn, nothing new, you just allowing it to copy from other sources with no human thought.

>>986795
wait until you find out artists need references to learn, and getting good at art is essentially integrating what you've copied

>>986805
I don’t think anyone would want a box head flying over a tuxedo, hands with polygon and eye lids that extends to the entire size of one sided box.

Your AI can’t do that.

>>986806
>Your AI can’t do that.
you say this all the time only to get btfo every time it makes progress and does what you called impossible

>>986630
If you entered an artistic field to make money you're beyond help.
The work to reward ratio is awful. You rewire your whole brain and practice and work all day long, even when you try to get downtime you can't stop looking at things and learning about them to integrate it into your work.

Basically everyone enters into this knowing it's stupid and they're most likely going to be poor.
Okay AI comes along and makes it even more likely that you're going to be poor.
So? I'm an artist I'm already retarded. I'm going to keep doing this because I love doing it. End of story.

This is also why the calls to integrate AI into your process to keep up with the competition is retarded. Why the fuck would I not just change fields if I had to work here but I don't get to make my own art?
so
>worth it?
Fuck no it's not worth it learn to do art, it never was. Do it anyway if you're retarded enough to be a real artist.

>>986808
This time it actually can’t, you are just making stuff up. The gif I uploaded was from a clip that is weirder than AI. The concept of new thing isn’t possible for AI. You can not tell it to make a new thing. Everything this fake AI does is from the database.

So let’s run down the impossible thing it can’t do:

1) New content

2) Horror

3) Memes

4) random ass bullshit continuation

5) staying on topic

The AI isn’t AI it’s a scam that OpenAI is trying to avoid going public. The moment it is discovered to just be a scam, that will be the moment copyright infringement happens.

It’s not a meme, if anything it just a copycat of slice human flesh that you see everywhere. Now look at this, real art.

AI dies it dies, simple.

It doesn't matter if it is slop. Time and time again the masses have proven that it doesn't care and will continue to consume slop after slop after slop. Those keen eyes pointing out errors, and the queers crying about "taking muh jobs" on twitter are in the vast minority. The people actually consuming it don't give a shit and they're the ones who companies profit from.

>>986701
Looks pretty nice, but what if you need to change something, like the time of day or the design of her earrings? Can you retain the same character across different shots and generations? Do the hieroglyphics have meaning? What if you want to make the people in the background walk?

>>986863
It will never be useful, animation requires constant change. Games require changes. The dumb AI isn’t even good for concept. Ask any director and they’ll do a better job at management than any AI.

>is there any point learning to draw or model when computers are becoming capable or generating shit within seconds

Yes, because achievements are meaningful to oneself and doing stuff is fun.

Tool assisted speedruns haven't stopped people from testing their skills against each another, CPU players haven't stopped people from inviting their friends to play games with one another, and calculators haven't stopped people from bragging how much they know about math to their acquaintances.

At first I was forced to learn how to draw because I realize that I could not depend in someone else to make everything I want, but with time I've realized that drawing is entertaining on its own no matter how ugly the end product might be.

You need to understand that, no matter what end result the AI produce, they'll never give you the same satisfaction as moving a pencil over a paper or applying pressure over a piece of clay.

I'm not saying AI is not the future (it is) but what I will say is you're still playing "generation roulette". The consistency just isn't there yet. Ask the AI to generate that model in your pic 10 times you're gonna get ten different characters. Ask any /3/ anon to render a model ten times and it'll be the same each time.

the actually good models will be locked behind massive paywalls and kept away from the public because it could be too disruptive to industries that more or less own the government. they'll probably still offer some utility, idea generation is up there, but as far as replacing layman's tools like blender and stuff it'll never happen in our lifetime unless your name is Paramount or Sony
